We certainly need another body in midfield (and without wishing to upset Red) I can see this Martinez stepping in there if we were to sign him
So Martinez is a small DM. Bit like Torreira but more expensive. And I thought LT11 was fine until Dick Emery played him as a no.10.

If we can't sign a MF, bring LT and AMN back and see if one of them can step up and make the place their own.

What people forget about the invincibles is that we had two giant MFs. That meant 2 more headers of the ball at corners, both attacking and defending. {Olly G was one of the best at defending corners, btw.}

But having two big MFs who are good at heading as well as the tackling, running, passing bit was vital to that team.

That African Palace are linked with sounds interesting.
