I don't think we need to replace Wines as such, we just need to recruit a young midfielder with a high ceiling who can complement what we already have. As someone else posted elsewhere, Drew is the player on our list who should be able to develop into the big-bodied mid to provide clearances and defensive cover to support the polish of others like Rozee, Butters, Houston. If we want more explosive mongrel, then Powell-Pepper needs to continue to advance his game.none of that changes the fact that hately isn’t a similar player to Ollie, will not come in and do ollies role, and isn’t near to ollies level yet.
yes we should go after hately. He’s first 22 quality. But let’s not confuse facts.
