I agree that MM has struggled to hit the levels of the first 10 games or so of this season. He was incredibly dynamic for that period and felt like a new signing.
We are having a tough time just at the minute and it needs to turn sharpish, but, this remains a very average league 1 this year and I don’t think we should be looking to offload the likes of MM.
I would be looking to add to the centre midfield pool of options, along with adding 2 out and out strikers (1 loan & 1 permanent) - not someone that can play all across the front line, but someone who knows what they are, a goalscorer that will lead the line.
If it were my responsibility, I’d look to do the following:
Offload:
Henry, permanently (amazing servant but his time is up)
Seddon, permanently
Findlay, permanently
Perkins
Smyth, loan
O’Donkor, loan
McGinty, loan
Thorniley, loan/permanently
Edwards - subject to the severity of his injury
Incoming:
Centre midfielder
Left back cover on loan (allowing Brown to be one of CB options)
2 strikers
Attacking wide player (who likes to get to the by-line and not constantly cut inside!
