Barak is a nice player and I was hoping for good things from him after he got his big break with a move to Fiorentina. But he largely failed to live up to expectations IMO. Last season he was rotated very heavily.
Anyway, he’s not the profile we need. If Inzaghi indeed wants a physical midfielder, a more defensively inclined player would be good.
That said, it’ll be hard to find a player within the remaining week of the market who fits that profile, is of a sufficient level, fits our meager budget and is willing to be a bench player / rotational option.
