Good players get paid well. If he plays for us he will be getting paid less than any other club would pay him. But hey let’s just not go after him and complain about the Griffiths/Elton/Moore types who fill the role in the mean time while hoping that our young players develop and fill both that role and jacks role in the future.

You said we can get him for "nothing", just pointing out that is far from the actual case.

As for Minties reply to Grace that triggered your initial post - Miller is a defender, at present Balta's best position clearly looks to be down back whilst he still looks miles off it up forward (he even looks better as a mid/wing type than he currently does as a forward) and Coleman-Jones is ruckman first and a forward second.....even of those not mentioned, Callum Moore is a utilty and third tall, second tall in an emergency at best and Chol's in the same boat as CCJ, though he could still also become a defender.

So yes, though I think midfield depth is just as big an issue, Lynch would be very handy for us indeed at this stage. :shh

Midfielders are much easier to get from the draft and take less time to develop, hence like u said lynch would be very handy especially while we are competing.

We have actually scored well for midfileders in the last couple of drafts with Graham and Higgins coming in and taking spots in the top 22

Hopefully once he stops getting assigned a mainly defensive role in the middle or least gains more experience to be able to balance his game more evenly between defence & attack Graham will start to become more of a genuine clearance player but we still need a decent big bodied inside mid or two....peferably tall unless they're a Wines or Shiel clone.... :shh

Agree, think we play an inside mid short although Prestia playing more regularly would help.
