Just grujic isn't enough we need another CM player. I don't believe that will keep us up

Its certainly a concern, im hoping Warnock is just playing it down and plans to bring in a first team central midfielder to play alongside Ralls

I think We'll play with 2 in the middle so it will be fine.

Grujic & Ralls with Gunnar as cover.
Reid, Hoilett will be more central I think also...

I'm happy with a midfield of Ralls and Grujic but if one gets injured I'm really concerned that we'll go into games with a combo of Ralls/Gunnars, Grujic/Gunnars which will be ripped apart by other premier league teams, just look what happened when we played Fulham at home against teams with movement and quick passing. I still think we need Grujic another CM and a striker.

Absolutely correct. The midfield at present is weaker than last season which doesn’t bode well. I can’t understand the posters happy with this situation.

Don't get me wrong I'd like another to be added but I don't think its as bad as what people think.
Reid and Tomlin can both play in the middle. Bamba can play in front of the back 4/5 also.
Don't forget we have Paterson and Damour who can run all day. :bluescarf:

Why do you keep saying gunner? If he makes one start in the prem it will be one start to many. Don't get it.

I don't keep saying Gunnar!?
I'm not a huge fan of him and I didn't want his contract renewed.
However, I know he always puts 100% in and I'd rather have him as a replacement than someone who just wants to pick up a wage.
