Still think we need a couple more hard as nails defensive midfielders.

I agree Tony.  Most of the better sides have them.  Busy, shithouse players who give them a better balance and allow their better players to use the ball well.  Win the ball back early, have a presence that we really lack.

we need an aggressive box-to-box type, like Palace had yesterday, Doucoure and Schlupp looked good against us.
A James Milner, Soucek, Kalvin Phillips type - an all-rounder.

We need a better player than our new captain which opens up a big market?

Is Tielemans the type of player we really need?  Is the more of a presence than what we have currently?

He's better than McGinn. Cultured passer and can intercept fine. More refined Luiz aswell.
Can pass the ball!
Playmaking abilities from deep and would give us more range. One of those types comfortable in possession.

Energetic and enthusiastic is how I prefer than how you say aggressive.
The Chelsea guy fits the bill but that's a wait and see for a loan.

Palace brought Eze when we brought Buendia (for a lot less money).

Sums us up at the moment!

Buendia is looking pretty good to me.

They bought Eze in 2020. We bought Bunedia in 2021.

Eze is a great player and so is Buendia but that's not anywhere near the issue we have at the moment.

It doesn’t matter who we bring in until the system, tactics & structure of the team is fixed.

We are physically soft & tactically naive. We play at half the tempo of our opponents.

Good to hear Vinnie, but I'd like Margot Robbie as my housekeeper.... Doesn't mean I'm going to get her!

Don't bother, she's rubbish at cleaning.

That's ok, I'm sure I can find something else for her.
I heard she is fantastic at cross stitch
