Can't see it personally.

Midfield is an area we are well stocked in surely?

Well if Benfica are allegedly knocking back our bids for Nunez, they may well do the same for for Gabriel.

Another central midfielder is just what we need to cover LB, RB and upfront.

I fear this one though is out of reach.

The only way any Albion fan would want this to happen is if Biss was off and his loan was part of the Nunez deal. We don't need a left footed defensive midfielder to play at left back. We need a proper left back.

Is Central Midfielder the new Central Defender?

 

[Russconha]

A bit patchy but always keeps his eye on the ball.

He's a DM, so I can only see us being interested if we sell Bissouma.

If we are trying to trim the squad to accommodate and afford new signings surely IF we were to sell Bissouma there would be no sense in signing another central midfielder, especially a DM seeing as Mwepu and Moder can play there, and so can Groß and Alzate if need.

This is a very strange transfer window.

I thought this thread would be about a new midfielder called Gabriel Benfica. Now that's what I'd call a flair name. Disappointed now

Do you mean we need a left back to play at left back? what a novel idea!

I could be wrong, but neither Mwepu or Moder look like a dedicated DM.

By playing 4 at the back we can now play both Moder and Mwepu and a DM.

If we choose to play two speedy full backs in Cucurella and Lamptey, we would definatley need that dedicated DM cover.

Totally this. Most of us would of had a shopping list of : Striker, left back, back up goalkeeper, possible right back, possible winger, possible new centre half to replace both Ben White and an expectant move for Duffy. I don't think anyone lister another Midfielder (Mwepu) as their priority. Still we have to wait and see.

It's quite obvious that we are desperately short in Midfield for Potters new formation of 2-7-1

I was under the impression that Moder and Mwepu had both played a reasonable amount of football as defensive midfielders though I might be wrong. I don’t think Bissouma came to us a DM either, it’s a position he’s grown into. I agree we’ll need a no nonsense DM if we’re playing a back 4 with advancing full backs, but as things stand we don’t have the personnel for that.

Might have some legs then ?
Or maybe just name dropping the Albion to boost the market ?
