I agree we need someone who can pass the ball better in the middle. Having thought about this a bit though, maybe a more central attacking mid.D C wrote: ↑Mon May 23, 2022 10:36 am I think we can forget about Phillips. He might have left Leeds for us if they we’re relegated but now that they’ve stayed up I only think he’d leave them for a truly top/‘big’ team. The current top 4 or maybe 6 only.
I genuinely think he’d be happier battling for 17th-10th for Leeds than he would be pushing for 6th with us.
We do need a superior passer like him in the middle to push on though, other than Ward-Prowse i’m not sure who fits the bill
Lanzini has made a decent fist of it this season but if we want to challenge top 6 I think we need someone a bit better. Could this be Fornals if we replace Cressy with a lb who needs less protection? Not sure but if we sign the lad from Hull between him and Benny left wing will be covered?
Bringing in Lingard gives us further options but someone who plays centrally and can pass the ball well would be high on my list if Moyes doesn’t feel Fornals is that man.
