    We might have signed Lionel Messi it's unlikely though. Given our budget and speaking in relative terms possibly the best signing of any team in all 4 divisions thus summer.

    I've not got enough knowledge of all the signings to make such a statement. He's done well though.

    If Hourihane didn't have anything in his game to work on and was the perfect version of himself already then he would be in the Premier League.

    I don't agree that he is "lazy". It's too easy to throw that word around. A lazy player for me knows his responsibilities, but can't be bothered to fulfill them, such as Nardiello.

    Hourihane does show he is willing to work for the team, but his first though is ALWAYS attacking. He switches off mentally sometimes and lets his player run off him and gets beat one on one too easily. These are parts of his game that can be worked on and can be improved on. Work ethic can not be taught.

    If Hourihane went into a Prem team tomorrow he would be shown up very quickly defensively, but that's not to say one day he wont be the complete midfielder.
