The thing with CM is we have been incredibly unlucky with injuries, and having 4 (I think - Hanson, CB, Thorne, Woodburn) out is pretty unusual. Using any more of our budget on CM may leave us in a position where we have insufficient resources to cover areas where we have inadequate cover, but have so far been reasonably lucky - left back, for instance.
I'd obviously love to get in a quick winger, because they're exciting players to have on the pitch, but I do rate Forde (I think perhaps more than some on here), we have Hall improving all the time, Sykes and Henry who can do a job there, and Napa to come back too don't forget.
I think we need to reenforce defence. A specialist RB if Cadden leaves, another specialist LB (Berkoe not ready yet I don't think) and maybe a versatile backup CB who can also play on the left or right of defence if needs be. If FM has taught me anything, they're always useful players to have on the bench.
