How about this for a throwback... Why not go for Jamie O'Hara? A bit more creative than Sidwell, and probably not too happy playing in the Championship, no?
Oh wait, just read he had some sort of double hernia surgery or something... I don't know much about injuries, is that something that one recovers from relatively quickly/free of complications?
For get it totally injury prone
O'hara true colours are being a key man in two relegated teams (Portsmouth, Wolves).
Championship at best.
Central midfielder wise what about any of the below (perhaps someone can come up with some foreign alternatives as my knowledge of other leagues is poor). I've put in bold ones I'd be interested in
- Mark Noble (WHU)
- Seb Larsson (SUN)
- Charlie Adam (LIV)
- Jermaine Jenas (TOT)
- Tom Huddlestone (TOT)
- Michael Essien (CHE)
- Stewart Holden (BOL)
- Stephen N'Zonzi (BBN)
- Jodi Gomez (WGN)
- Graham Dorrans (WBA)
- Joe Ledley (CEL)
- Barry Bannan (AVL)
- Wilson Palacios (STO)
Whats people's views on that list?
I'd have N'Zonzi.
No question.

Maybe, but it's possible for a poorly managed/constructed team to have a few good players as well. Fletcher and Jarvis were both on Wolves too...
Not saying he's the next Dembele but still would/could be an interesting option at least as additional competition for the slot.
according to todays papers noble has turned down chance to join us

Nzonzi, Adam, Essien, Holden, Palacios (in roughly that order).
N'Zonzi was the most wanted man in England at one point this Summer. I'd take him, although I'd prefer to get two decent CMs.
I'd take N'Zonzi, Adam, Palacios or Huddlestone. Holden + Dorrans wouldn't be bad either. Essien may be slightly unrealistic.
Nzonzi and fer for me.
Then its decided then. Someone get on the phone to Martin :)
