McGinn, Hanlon, Doig, Allan, Mallan, Newell, Stevenson and several others are perfectly acceptable players who will do a very good job for us when called upon, many of whom will manage it every week as a starter.
An argument might be made for shipping out a midfielder to bring in someone with a different skill set to complement the rest of the players a bit better but that wouldn't be because any of the midfielders "aren't good enough", just that times are tight and we need to use our budget accordingly.
There is plenty of quality in the squad, a number of players who can be a joy to watch, and they've done well to get the points they have so far.
No real need for hyperbole.
But we do need a midfielder or two.
