Absolutely. I did wonder if we were a central midfielder short as we do play 4-3-3 occasionally and Towell is untried. Norwood, Sidwell, Kayal and Stephens are four great options and we have Towell too. I am confident we're finished in central midfield now. And, as others have pointed out, if...

Yes, because it's definitely worth trusting his former, former club's fans rather than our scouting network who currently have a near perfect record (only Manu has failed so far). Plus, at the moment, he's far from guaranteed to start regularly anyway.
