Some names for a central midfield role…

Michael Johnson – Unlikely to be getting a whole lot of games at Man City any time soon.

Amaury Bischoff – Has this potential transfer died?

Kevin-Prince Boateng – Linked last summer, doesn’t look any closer to getting a game for Spurs.

Darron Gibson – Probably going to move on from Man Utd.

Aaron Ramsey – Arsenal might think that a full season on loan to us is better than 15 part games for them.

Fabrice Muamba – Would you get him back if it was for no more than we got for him?

Michael Bradley – Anything still happening with this transfer?

Fabian Delph – How much longer can Leeds keep him?

These would mostly be considered more creative than a true midfield general, but I’m not sure if another true battler is what we need alongside Carsley and Bowyer.

I never believed Vieira was ever going to come to us. That sort of player would look at us as beneath them and even at 33 he’s probably right however hard it is to accept. Frankly I have no idea regarding alternatives and know too little about Biglia to comment. It strikes me though that if the original rumours about Vieira are true a salary of £5 million a year begs the question why not spend that sort of money plus a bit more if necessary for a younger and hungrier alternative. I’d love to see someone like Tom Huddlestone come in but I’m probably dreaming. However, if it is perceived that someone of that quality is going to make the difference then it’s essential the money is spent.

This question has utterly banjaxxed me – You are correct that we need a real boss-man in the engine room but I have no idea who that person would be so I’m excited to hear what others think/say?
Yes, Biglia would have been perfect.
We need to keep Seb, but a happy Seb who wants to play…

I think it will be about the type of formation Eck has in mind.This will determine the midfield player he is after.wil it be 442 at home and 451 away?
451 away is possibly the way with Benitez and Jerome.
At home we need someone to unlock a defence.
