We have just about the deepest midfield going around, and seem to uncover at least one a year with ease so depth wise we have him covered.

Our midfield depth chart reads roughly:
Bontempelli
Macrae
Dunkley
Hunter
Smith
Lipinski
Mclean
Wallis
Hayes
Liberatore
Jong
Porter
Webb

Lloyd is also able to play there, West is expecting to be rotated through and Williams has been unable to find a spot there yet despite training a whole pre-season in that area.

I completely agree we won't get sufficient compensation back for him unless it's a player for player type deal, but hos output this year was marginally better than what West showed he can contribute so it isn't like he is a huge loss, and we aren't expecting any of the 6 guys (arguably 9 seeing as Wallis, Hayes and Liberatore all saw more gametime there than Toby) ahead of him to drop off any time soon.
