We have Cullen, Lesley, Florentino, Hannibal and Laurent. How is that short?
None of those can be reasonably classed as attacking cm or natural goal scorers or even a Brownhill replacement. Ramsey imo has the potential to be a good attacking cm.

Re: Summer 2025 BFC Transfer Window - Links and discussion on the Linked player only.

Ramsey went to Leicester hours ago on loan Well if if that's true we have left ourselves massively short in cm as things stand. Hope there is some 2 hour paperwork in place for someone. Otherwise we could end up with an ooc like Ericsson. Suspect Tresor and Delcroix will be off to Europe somewhere ...

Unless Tresor is staying, which I really can’t imagine (or we’re signing another 10, which I equally can’t imagine), feel this is a bit of a mistake. Going very light on creativity in midfield.
