Mings for Mears would be an improvement, unless we're looking to sell Dawson or Hegazi not sure if he's going to get much game time though?
I would have thought strikers and energetic midfielders we're a priority tbh.
I agree Phil. Although Mings is an undoubtedly huge improvement on Mears, I can't help thinking that is not where our priorities lie. Last night, we really missed Barnes' willingness to run at the defence; we were very static and ponderous in our build up, I felt. I know we cannot replace him like for like but I'd like us to sign someone who has that same willingness. Failing that, play Edwards or Leko and see what happens. I also felt we missed Phillips last night, he adds another dimension to the midfield.
We have also missed the drive that Olsson and Fletcher gave us, neither were the best technical players but they were superb leaders.
