I like to think of them as 'No.10's'.

Rumours we are after an attacking midfielder. Something Bruce has fuck all idea how to use, and has 3-4 of already. Hmmm.

This time last year someone posted that Bruce had identified that we lacked players who could carry the ball through midfield, an entirely understandable deduction. He hasn’t half made a fuck up of rectifying it though.

The marauding Delph like runs of Whelan not to your taste?

By marauding runs of Whelan do you mean those of the opposition on the counter having once again benefitted from one of his errant passes?

There is almost a hint of an implication that he ever makes anything other than an errant pass. He makes Reo Coker look like Hoddle.

I quite like Whelan. But he should not be playing every week. He should be in rotation or used as a good backup to the first team player in his position.

The only marauding runs of Whelan are as the result of a bad curry.

Whelan seems to make a significant error in every single game, then spends the rest of it snarling around like a dog who’s lost his bone trying to reek revenge.

Anyway, I’d go for Walters, Forestieri and a centre half

Word on the Tweet is that said midfielder is Wigan's Nick Powell.

For Stoke, Whelan was the same as Jedinak was for Palace. He comes here and Bruce asks him to do something he's not really capable of doing; being a midfield General.

Agreed. If Jedinak can stay fit we should be less reliant on him.
