How about Max Power? Young, scores screamers, and generally effective for Wigan last season. He's also shown that he can step his game up real fast, from relegated Tranmere to a mainstay in a promotion-winning team. Plus, his name is flairtastic

We need to have 4 capable box to box midfielders next year if we are going to play the same system.
I don't see how JFC or Ince can fit into our plans, regardless of their ability. I felt Towell was well off the pace of the game last Friday but I don't think he should be written off, he's obviously been signed as a bit of a project. That leaves one, maybe two to come in.
I'd rather it wasn't Sidwell, closer to 34 than 33 is a bit old for the kind of tireless CM we are looking for. However, we could do a lot worse, his wage demands would be a big factor for me.

May not be that far off. I think Albino Hughes made his league debut at 18? If you're good enough, you're old enough etc etc. Maybe a couple of good loan spells next season and who knows....

Agree, and having listened to his post match interview where he was saying we have to pick ourselves up and when we come back for pre season and finally when asked if he wanted to stay he said he would love to but not in his hands. (Or words to that effect)

I think people are underestimating Towell. A run of games, maybe on loan, to get him up to Championship speed will be required but people who know talk about him being the best prospect to come out of Ireland since Roy Keane.
I have a bunch of football loving teenage / twenty-something Irish nephews, who simply cannot BELIEVE that Towell hasn't made an impression. They can't believe we don't start him.
