If it’s gonna be Morsy plus one…. 19:18 - Jul 7 with 4557 views | blueysbackside | ….for the majority of games this season and we could get ONLY one of Cajuste or Downes, who would you buy out of those 2? For me, Downes all day long. |  | | |  |
If it’s gonna be Morsy plus one…. on 19:33 - Jul 7 with 3378 views | _clive_baker_ | Downes for sure. I like the boy Cajuste and he’s certainly got something about him. Thought the way he carried the ball at times last season and ‘broke the lines’ from deep was impressive, and something we need more of. Downes knows his way around the championship though and has demonstrated more physical robustness. Think we would see our fair share of yellow cards with a Downes / Morsy partnership in there. |  | |  |
If it’s gonna be Morsy plus one…. on 19:44 - Jul 7 with 3284 views | BloomBlue | Cajuste. If we can buy players who will also improve us in the PL then it has to be Cajuste. For me Downes isn't PL level, top championship at best. |  | |  |
If it’s gonna be Morsy plus one…. on 19:51 - Jul 7 with 3234 views | CrayonKing | Downes for sure. I don't think any of the other options could play the Morsy role when the inevitable injuries/suspensions hit. Great though Jens is, a midfield of Cajuste and Taylor in the games Morsy misses feels way too open for me |  | |  |
If it’s gonna be Morsy plus one…. on 19:59 - Jul 7 with 3178 views | TheBlueGnu | We're going to need a big haul of goals if we're looking to gain promotion. Downes ain't gonna help in that department. |  |

Especially if Omari stays we will have an immense front 4, that’s where the goals are coming from, we need people to win the ball and pass it to them. |  |

What's Brownhill like, he always seemed fairly competent whenever I've seen him on tv? |  |

Johnson can also play there apparently, West Ham fans seemed to think he was more of a holding midfielder than an actual right back |  |

Don't know what the record for yellow cards from a midfield partnership is but pretty confident Downes and Morsy would break it comfortably. Greedy and not in the spirit of the OP but think we do need players that fit both of their profiles if not them themselves. A good variety in there of proper defensive generals and more progressive midfielders. |  |

Yeah, and I don't think the OP was suggesting only one midfield signing is enough, but we need at least two very capable signings in there and either Taylor/a third signing to make four options. |  |

If it’s gonna be Morsy plus one…. on 10:42 - Jul 8 with 1644 views | positivity | i prefer cajuste, but if you get him, i think we need one other as we'll be rotating him (at least to start with), while we get him up to the fitness required to play 2 games a week |  |

Ogbene!? Happy to be proven wrong but I don’t think there’s many players in the squad less suited to a holding midfield position than him. He’s the most winger type winger I’ve ever seen. Up there with that poster calling for Leif to play that position. |  | |  |

Good to see Frimmers back with the hot takes! If Ogbene has played there before (and it's a big if!) he's definitely not done it at Championship or Prem level. But sure, let's give him a shot |  | |  |

i can see why; downes maybe fits our system better, and is more robust. however, i'd still prefer cajuste |  |

If it’s gonna be Morsy plus one…. on 10:57 - Jul 8 with 1503 views | baxterbasics | Cajuste Morsy Downes Humphreys Would be good to have all the above, in this order. |  |

Downes instead of Morsy (or the 1 of the 2 for each role) Cajuste is capable of doing it all, breaking lines, passing etc so is way more important. Downes is the succession signing imo. Both would be the perfect scenario. |  | |  |

He hasn't. Maybe a couple of times in more of a No10. I'm up for being promoted this year, not relegated again, so jamming players into positions they patently aren't suited to doesn't seem the best recipe to me. |  |
