I think the club would still like to bring a midfielder in, but by the same token there's no longer any pressure there to push them to take any deal they're not 100% happy with - wouldn't be surprised if this one comes to nothing now.

Striker is still critical, but I'm really struggling to come up with any names who are a) available now, and b) would have an immediate impact? A lot of the non-Vlahovic names we're being linked with are either summer moves, or don't look like they'd be much of a step-up from Laca and Eddie, or look like they could be potentially be something special... but in 6-12 months time.
I think they might just look at the situation now and leave it till the summer and spend then. It's going to be another big summer in terms of spending IMO, 2 strikers and a midfielder. If two of those signings are starting quality players it will set us back a minimum 100mill, if not more.
