I don't understand why so many people are asking for us to sign a defensive midfielder.
We have Lucas (who should've been playing there last season - he's quality), Can and Rossiter. I'm sure Milner and Hendo could fill in there if needs be!
I really hope Lucas hasn't been alienated so much that he wants to leave, think that could be one of the clubs biggest mistakes if true.

That's the problem. We shouldn't have to 'fill in' there. You need top quality - Hendo or Milner are not suited for that position and I'm not convinced Can is either, certainly not as a 'true' DM. Rossiter is not ready yet for the level we need to be at immediately (i.e. challening for top 4, title)
If Lucas doesn't play, then a suitable replacement should be found.
I am all for a DM in our team, 100%, but he has to be be better than Lucas, or Lucas plays. Simple really.

I agree not critical and would be happy with Lucas, Can and Milner sharing responsibilities but playing devils advocate for a second
1) Lucas isn't really a playmaker and has been injured a fair amount last season
2) Can is young and needs time to prove himself in the role (positionally), and arguably has been most effective further forward in a box-to-box role
If we can get a proven DM that's a creative playmaker as well, then I'd be OK with a top class signing there and selling Allen

Matic isn`t a playmaker either but look at the diff he has made to Chelsea. You need a DM who does his job and is not flashy because the position does not require flash and dash. Like JH, either Lucas plays or get someone better than him in. Filling someone in is just a joke because that position requires specialists and not fill-ins. Milner, Allen and Hendo are not DM`s and neither is Kova so no point playing them there because they will be targeted for fun like Can was at FB or CB because he is neither, naturally. Play players in their right positions and let them thrive instead of always trying to reinvent the wheel for no reason

Hi Ed's long time reader but first time poster, thanks in advance. I tried the search function but last thing I could find was mid-august. You were pretty adamant back then but things may have changed. Any chance that Ozil would be open to joining us as part of a deal (if there is one) for Suarez?
There was talk that Madrid would be open to offer Benzema if he was willing but I was struggling to see where he'd fit in with Sturridge playing so well.
Cheers {Ed013's Note - Honest answer, I can't see it, but stranger things have happened}
