Decent enough player, but seeing as how we have more central midfielders on our books than any other position, I genuinely cannot see the point, nor is he good enough to displace any of the main contenders for a starting spot (or even a bench place for that matter) IMHO.

Please no.
Why are we targeting players who will be bought in to play as a left winger, who's first choice position isn't left wing, such as Alonso and Bannan? I don't get why we don't just sign a natural left-sided midfielder. Alonso tbf is a good player, but Bannan I wouldn't want anywhere near the team.

Bannan link is clearly made up.
Alonso seems to be relativity cheap and we could clearly use both him and Brady.

I thought Bannan was a bit of a Wes type? Am I thinking of the wrong player. We need an alternative to Wes, no doubt about that

No, you're thinking of the right player. Little, left footed, decent playmaker type.
I highly doubt we'll be bringing in another central midfielder, not in this window anyway.
As for that role we obviously have Wes, Hooper, Andreu [i think he'll be gieen a decent chance], Howson and various youngsters. Can't see it being a priority.
Although if we were given a chance to loan in Pritchard from Spuds I'd take that.

We've got plenty of power in midfield, I just worry that we're too reliant on Wes for creativity. O'Neil is probably our next most creative midfielder and cant see him being much in the set-up next season. Dont know how creative Andreu is, VOO seems more power than craft. Fer had the playmaking ability - we've not really replaced him in that sense

Both Dorrans and Howson are more creative than O'Neil. Vadis is the type that will power through from deep but I think he's technically alright and can pick a pass too. I think Mulumbu will impress you in this regard too.

Lazy journalism, we've been linked to half the Scotland squad this summer!

I don't think we will though. It seems far too much of a coincidence to me that the (rumoured) Alonso bid is put in a couple of days after Steve Bruce goes public saying they've rejected our latest bid for Brady.

Yeah, that was my first though.
Hope not though as I don't think I'd fancy Brady and Johnson down the left if Olsson were to get injured long term.

I hope this is unfounded.
Whilst i appreciate we're a small fish in a big pond, i expect us to be going after players of a higher caliber than this.
Plus, we've positions elsewhere that need strengthening first.
