If you look at our squad, we desperately need to sign a goalkeeper, a centre half and a few wingbacks. We've only got 2 senior strikers at the club, one of which hasn't played a combined 90 minutes in his time at the club.
If we get Nicholson and Slattery signed up we shouldn't be too far away from having a good enough midfield (that is, of course, a big if)
I stand by my original point that out of the issues we have with our current squad the midfield is probably the least urgent of them.
