but we only have 3 current actual holding midfielders - adding another will be in keeping with our 2 quality players in each position policy as we normally play at least 2

Kompany proved his worth as a centreback last season, in fact, in my opinion he was far handier there than he was in midfield.

We're gonna pretty much be playing 2 games a week for most of the season and with that in mind i've no objection to us signing multiple quality players. The more the merrier. It means that if somebody gets a minor knock in a midweek game they can be given time to recover and not rushed back for the weekend. If we've got quality cover for evey position (even by shifting mids to CB etc) i'll be very happy.

Toure isn't just a holding midfielder. He can do the job but he can also get forward & contribute to the attacks as well, as can Barry. They just do the job they're asked to do. De Jong is the only out & out holding player at the club.

I can see if being Yaya/Barry for normal matches, Yaya/De Jong for tougher midfields, and Vieira/De Jong for league cup matches against Macclesfield.

Balague now also saying we have agreed a fee for silva. I'd say the mail is proven right by this, Balague knows his stuff when it comes to spanish players, he also mentions yaya being agreed to.

Top stuff, things are looking good chaps!
