First half of that sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, particularly given McGinn is out for a while and one is Jordan McGhee..

True, but we have 3 fit left backs, and JK and SOD that can cover there when needed, so you have to think at least one will end up being surplus to requirements.

I'm not complaining, as we have struggled to fill that position in recent years.

Wilson or Longelo are the two who could move on i would have thought.

We need more experience in midfield and a proper number 9.

A creative wide pacey player would also be handy.

I'd argue we could do with a bit more experience in the team in general. Midfield, hard to see anyone displacing Fadinger or Priestman right now, so any experienced guy coming in to start would be a more attacking option, I'd assume...

Oh, I get it. We probably have more options at left back than we do centre half and we need two of them and one left back every week. If we could free up a wage by moving on a left back (Wilson would be the obvious one) and it could go to more options in midfield (where I'm currently praying every time Fadinger or Priestman go into a challenge) that would be helpful...
