I disagree, IMO our biggest problem in midfield is progressing the ball from the middle third of the pitch to the attacking third. McKennie is not a ball player, he does two things: He's a grafter who adds steel to midfield, and makes late runs into the box and gets on the end of chances. Skipp gives us the midfield steel in matches where we're up against it, and Dele gives us the late runs into the box. It'd be great to have a player who does both, but it's more of a luxury when you consider we have midfielders with those attributes already and are woefully short of creativity.We need McKennie more than Aouar IMO [and Kessie the most].
I like that Nuno has elected our first choice midfield to be comprised of 3 physical midfielders with strong work rates, and I strongly believe Dele, Skipp, and Hojbjerg are the predominant reason we’ve kept two clean sheets against two strong attacking sides.
Lo Celso needs to step up and be the creative outlet we’re seeking or he needs to be sold as he offers significantly less protection than our other midfielders. With Aouar, while we may have a more natural ball progresser, we’ll certainly lose some steel in our midfield. The general understanding seems to be that Traore (if signed) can also drop in and be used as a ball progresser.
McKennie is more than capable of playing across the midfield 3 by all accounts which only Skipp and Hojbjerg are currently capable of doing effectively in the squad.

Says the transfer ticker thread and because it is my preference I shall choose to believe it, particularly Aouar.
We've form for hiring players with questionable attitudes recently...
Surely we're learning lol
