Any competent DM at all would improve us instantly. I don’t know anything about Vecino but if he is truly “bang average” it would represent a significant upgrade over Dier and Wanyama.
Perhaps bring him in as a short-term stopgap, loan Skipp out for the next 18 months to get experience and see if he’s truly got what it takes, and bring in a young DM such as Soumare, Florentino, or Camavinga in the summer to rotate with Vecino next season. Then in summer 2022 bring Skipp back into the fold and move Vecino on.
We desperately need to begin to address the DM situation which has been left to languish for years now, and a veteran journeyman may help paper over the cracks until we can get the long term options sorted.
