What worries me is that Pulis seems to love 4-4-2 but we don't have many midfielders good enough to play in a 4, if any.

Despite that, all the links seem to be for players in other positions.

I presume Chester was bought for the right back position. Personally, I think it's harsh to write him off in that position already based on one game against Man City. I certainly wouldn't throw him in at centre back at the expense of McAuley, who we look lost without and saved us again yesterday by sticking his head in front of a striker's boot...

I can honestly see Saido going to Man City or United as you can't challenge for the title with just 2 strikers (In City's case) and United seem to have nothing more than a bang off form Rooney. If he does go to Spurs like the tabloids suggest, Townsend must be coming the other way as a bare minimum...

Another worry is that based on our transfer activity so far, links and memory of what he did at Stoke, that Pulis is fantastic at getting the best out of average players but actually a bit lost when it comes to pushing teams on. His interview after yesterday's game suggested that with all the investment we'll be pushing on for top half, but can't help thinking we'll be lucky to finish in 17th with the uninspiring start and money wasted on championship standard fodder like James Mclean.
