Totally agree we need a pacey central midfielder and another striker and I think we will be a good team

I agree but my point was with recent signings we do have literally pace to burn

Totally agree. I was just about to start a similar thread. We desperately needed extra pace up front like Leicester/Liverpool
because that does get you results particularly playing counter attacking football like we are likely to be doing.

We're nearly getting to the point where we've got a team of Jamie Vardy's

Spot on. We've never had a pacey team since Dave Jones days. No matter how much of a d*ck he was, we were an entertaining side regardless.

SO it's nice to have a skilful pacey team.

All three signings have great pace. The addition of this pace will make us a frightening counter attacking team.

We have so many attacking options options now its quite exciting. Any combination of Murphy, NML, Hoillet, Murphy and Zohore will certainly excite us.

I do feel we need someone in midfield with some guile who can find these players as they make runs.

Very happy with our transfers this window.

Usually we labour over signings and end up struggling and leaving it late. These early signings will have time to settle in the city and have plenty of time get to know the coaches, staff and other players.

I must be honest and say that the club seem to have a very clear direction and transfer policy that is a credit to their vision and pragmatism. We are thankfully way beyond Malkys 'dossier' nonsense.

Yeah I agree.

Loathed DJ but at least the team was exciting. He never quite got the balance right between being exciting and being solid.

With these new signings Warnock has filled the gaps that he inherited but didn't have the resources to fill.

So much respect for the guy.

We need a midfielder who can pick a pass like Whittingham.

Spot on Caerphilly boy.
We need a Whittingham type player who can see a pass, cut open the defence and keep possession and also a defensive midfielder in the mould of Medel.

You’re quite right about pace and it’s a great thing to have in our team especially if we’re playing more of a counter attacking game but the players have to be able to play at this new level as well. I’m a bit concerned about Murphy who the Norwich fans didn’t seem to like very much. Lots of boo’s and heckling from their home fans apparently.
