Do we need a hard man in midfield?

[Gray]

Not a hard man. A leader, a winner, a never say die, blood on the shirt, driving his team mates on and running as hard in the 94th minute as he does in the 4th-type. That's what we need.

You just described Nigel de Jong.

We need higher footballing IQ not hard men

Ok why allow the likes of Silva and Aguero getted kicked with little or no response from us?

The only player I can think of is Kante.

Nope. We will end up with ten men every other week.

Hard in the head. Utterly ruthless in the pursuit of victory. We have been missing this particular piece of the puzzle for far too long.

Its not the "hard man" thats required, its the grit associated with the hard man.

Sign players already at the top this summer, instead of "prospects".

Prospects will only prosper with the right team in place.

Well you can have both I guess but you don't forsake footballing intelligence for a hard man. If you finds hard man with footballing intelligence then 100% that's who I'd prefer.

Agreed, a burning desire to win is what is needed.
