You can’t play him on his own as lone midfield destroyer.

The important of a proper specialist defensive midfield is often underrated.

We only had one last year and now we have two that can do a job that’s improvement. We also do t have much in the way of creativity in the midfield (although I think all our guys have more in the locker than they showed last season or against city). A deep lying playmaker ala Locatelli or Brozovic (I know he is a defensive liability but he’ll sit and play and allow Skipp and Hojbjerg to destroy higher up and make more of the sum of parts) would be useful.

Midfield is a hard one to solve. I think we have four for 3 spots atm with Dele, GLC, Skipp and Hojbjerg. I don't think that the three we had against City will be our usual three, I would expect Hojbjerg or Skipp most games aside from the big ones where we need more bite in midfield.

N'Dombele could be a great addition in there, definitely against teams that we will be attacking but if he ends up not here after the window closes then I'd rather see us go after a player closer to a #10 than a #6.

God knows what has happened to him but he is just an awfully bad footballer. That goal came from him yet again not being able to play football. He is simply a totally bang average, Championship level midfielder.

Championship is generous.
