Next up: the midfielders.

Shane Kellow M(L)
Age: 27 Height: 5'7" Weight: 156
Best Role: Wide Midfielder/Support duty
Current Ability: 0.5 stars
Potential Ability: 0.5 stars
Strengths: Work Rate 12, Teamwork 9, Off the Ball 9
Weaknesses: Tackling 2, Anticipation 4, Decisions 6
Shane works hard, but it looks like he's not much good. Sadly, he's the best we have at his position right now. We're looking to change that, ASAP.

Jermaine Botley M(C), DM
Age: 16 Height: 5'11" Weight: 171
Best Role: Ball Winning Midfielder/Support duty
Current Ability: 0 stars, 5.0 silver stars
Potential Ability: 5.0 stars
Strengths: Aggression 19, Bravery 15, Work Rate 12, Stamina 11
Weaknesses: Marking 7, Tackling 7, Passing 8
Our staff thinks Jermaine would be eaten alive in the League right now, but when I look at his attributes, I think he might be able to hold his own. I'd love to get him some playing time with our youth team, but until I bring in some better guys at his position, he'll have to turn out for the senior squad.

Ricky Urry AM(C), M(C)
Age: 22 Height: 5'10" Weight: 169
Best Role: Central Midfielder/Attack duty
Current Ability: 1.0 stars
Potential Ability: 5.0 stars
Strengths: Determination 8
Weaknesses: Finishing 2, Creativity 3, Teamwork 3, Long Shots 3
If we were organizing a track meet, Ricky would be a great choice (Pace 12, Acceleration 15). However, we're a football club, and Ricky's not terribly talented at the things an offensively-minded midfielder should do well.

Edward Evans M(C), AM(C)
Age: 16 Height: 5'5" Weight: 132
Best Role: Central Midfielder/Attack duty
Current Ability: 1.5 stars
Potential Ability: 5.0 stars
Strengths: Determination 13, Work Rate 10, Off the Ball 8
Weaknesses: Passing 4, Finishing 4, First Touch 4
Tiny Edward is a project, who really needs to be honing his skills with our U-18 side. He's a great kid, though, a future leader whom I'll expect big things from in a few years.

Shane Treleaven M(R), AM(R)
Age: 23 Height: 5'7" Weight: 154
Best Role: Wide Midfielder/Attack duty
Current Ability: 1.0 star
Potential Ability: 4.5 stars
Strengths: Determination 7, Crossing 6, Stamina 6
Weaknesses: Everything else
Not much more to say here, is there? With a Work Rate of 4 and Teamwork of 3, Shane doesn't even bring much to the clubhouse. He'll be transfer listed as soon as we can find a better alternative.

Overall analysis: Frighteningly bad. Stuart Cattell can also play centre midfield, so I could move him there and start Grant Shaw in back. Otherwise, it looks like we could be absolutely destroyed in the middle of the park. Needless to say, I'm looking all over the island for midfielders.
