looking at all the posts here and can't help wondering exactly how many midfielders do you want? Crooks, Windass, Holt, Halliday, Rossiter, Thompson, Forrester, Murdock, Walsh, and now maybe Barton, and yet we keep seeing posts about even more, like Dorrans for example.
C'mon guys get real.

Crooks, Barton, rossiter are holding midfielders.

Windass, forester are number 10s.

Holt, halliday are central midfielders with halliday able to fill in at other positions (full back on the wing) .

Murdoch and Thompson are young and will likely go out on loan again if not play here and there in cup games etc.

Walsh is a winger.

If we beat hibs and qualify for Europe we need a decent sized squad and bringing in the guys we have already brought in and the guys who may well sign (Windass, crooks, rossiter, Barton and dorrans) bulks up an already small squad with added quality and replaces law, shiels and Templeton who are on their way out.

Windass isn't a central midfielder like any of they guys you mentioned neither is waslsh or forrester they are wingers. Crooks will cover at the back aswell. We need depth to cover for injuries and suspensions.

If we can bring in better than we have then we should, we need to keep moving forward as a club. Some of these guys will find themselves as squad players but at least this year instead of the likes of law etc coming off the bench we will be able to bring quality players off the bench.

Think crooks will be cb. walsh and murdoch be out on loan again or sold i think. thompson may be on loan aswell. windass can play as no 10 or attacking mid. forrester is a winger even tho we played him in mid.

I believe Thomson can play in defence, Walsh and forrester are forwards and besides we are potentially competing on four fronts next season. Injuries and suspensions will play apart so depth of squad is ideal. Besides its still ten midfielders less than Celtic. 😂.

Crooks was in the league 2 team of the year playing in midfield so surely it would be a mistake playing him as a CB. As for Murdoch I don't think Warburton rates him and I think it likely he will try and offload him which is a pity.
