Is This The Best Midfield We Have Had in Years?

Steely. (Just saying)

The midfield is looking rather glamorous at the moment, but I’m not getting overly excited until we get a decent striker in. Maybe give Wales a start Saturday, see what’s he’s about

Cooper will go. Fulton is gonna have little if no game time. Franco is odd one for me. Fan favourite, has a bite about him but hasn't really gone to next level. It's mad to think that this is even a discussion. If this was January earlier in the year then we would be struggling to think of options. I would keep Franco though. I do like him. Makes little to no sense to move him on when you have Fulton and Cooper behind him.

I will say that Franco had moved to the next level when he was playing 90 minutes under Sheehan at the end of the season. To say anything else seems madness. He was playing in a makeshift square pegs midfield against Middlesborough and still did enough IMO. Choices for the manager going forward.

That's fine, he's still a Central Midfielder though

Such boundless optimism could never end in disappointment. Not at all.
To quote Oxoman, **snigger**

Would love to agree with the OP.
Other than Galbraith I'd never heard of the other 3 signings before they came here.
So I would find it hard to stake that claim.

Perhaps wait to see the new signings actually play before making a judgement

Is correct.

That's why I have cringed when I read people say we have had a superb transfer window.

Let’s get real. Fulton starts again today

It must be horrible tho being at a club ( that you presumably love ) and watching yourself fall further down the pecking order.

If this is in relation to Fulton. He was lucky he got such a big contract when he did. If it wasn't for the bad recruitment and ownership then he would of long gone. You can add Grimes to that. Too many managers and people in charge was to scared to rock the boat.

Tbh i was talking in general terms about any club and any player but more especially about lower league players not on much money.

Bump, great thread.

Clearly not our best midfield just now however proper kudos to our recruitment intelligence.

Barcelona had a team of mostly midfielders, where every player could play almost any position on the pitch. Midfielders are complete players, the most naturally gifted, naturally comfortable with the ball. We are now so stocked with bundles of natural talent and latent ability.

We need the manager to step up, deliver and get the very best out of our cleverly assembled uber strong squad.

Exciting times on our ongoing upwards trajectory to the next level.

They did have Messi mind…

He’s no Jay Fulton, that’s for sure
