Agreed.
I also think that if we're going for a back 4, we could do with a disciplined holding midfielder, at least in some matches, as Charles and Downes both like to move forwards.
Not sure I buy that. He could play Armstrong, Robinson, Fraser as advanced wide players if he wanted. I think he just doesn't fancy a back 4 at the moment.
No idea, but if they're saying a net "salary" of EUR 1,900,000 then grossed up it's something like 3,100,000. In GBP that's around 2,700,000, or 52k a week gross. I can't see us committing to that sort of wage in the Champ.
