It is only against the three man midfield of Fulham including Cairney we have trouble with and then only in the absence of Beram Kayal. Howson (Norwich) and Shelvey (Newcastle) are not quite so much of a problem.
I don't think Will Hughes is quite as quick as Cairney or Kayal, either as an athlete or as a quick thinker?
Lot to be said for football brains as Rohan Ince and Kazenga Lualua are probably a shade quicker athletes than all of the midfielders mentioned. Good athletes but not so good...
Agree as well. Quicker than Lansbury, about a quick as Beram Kayal. Quicker than Dale Stephens.
We would need the extra quickness of the mark in the PL. Best if we could sign him now.
