You're calling Yaya Toure a 'Creative' player? i mean sure he's technical, can move the ball nicely, but i dont think he's extremely creative as a midfielder.

Agree he left to early, and would definitely welcome him back. The Boss we miss so much in midfield.

Technically ("Technical abilities")? yes, but defensvely- which in my opinion should be first priority when you have Hazard, Mata and Oscar upfront, it could be our best option. Quesion is if Ramires can play there, i think he can. First of all, RDM should try it.

Thats the complete sentence btw: "anyone who knows my posts saw im not one of those who criticize the club and players in every chance". Super wierd that you took of the part of "in every chance". you're just trying to win this and in some way think im a 5 year old and i wouldnt see what you did? wtf dude? To conclude- i criticized Mikel, definitely not in every chance. If im talking about our midfield, he'l probably be one of the main subjects in my post. yes. And if i think we could do better than him, i will probably criticize him in some of those posts. Naturally. And thats especially in the period of the transfer window. Now when he's what we have, im going to let it go way more.

yes what do you want? You can think what you want, the fact is that the only player in the squad i criticize in this forum is Mikel. Go check. Im super optimistic about Chelsea, every season. I can honestly say that even now. Im just very disappointed right now and thats what i think.

Before everything, anyone who knows my posts saw im not one of those who criticize the club and players in every chance, and i never get panic like a lot of us are, BUT now im super pissed... you dont know whats going through their minds? they simply dont know much. Just bought lots of creative talented youngers, without even think our central midfield realy needs improvement. I would manage the transfer window better than them ffs. We have lots and lots of money, and in a summer of big spendings we are going to the new season with a midfield of Mikel, Lampard, Ramires who didnt play there and Romeo who RDM dont trust. Tell me what do i need to think other than that they know very little? dont get me wrong, the signings that been done are great, but when you spend so much money and left out with this hugh hole in midfield? thats poor management. Thats poor football knowledge. This transfer window could have been A LOT better. We spended so much on players, we wanted to sigh freaking Andre Schurrle for 20m, we defenetley could sign a top DM or a CM. Lets hope they'll understand their mistakes and fix it in January. Just sucks they ruin it that easily in the last week... if we wouldnt let Essien and Meireles go it would have been more understandable, not good in any way, but more understandable. Never thought i would be the pessimistic and the one who panics in this forum.

doing fine when somone can clean he's mess. list getting shorter.

Meireles is better than all of them in his position (Romeu+Ramires+Oscar dont play there at all, so why mentioning them? josh? come on. essien just went on loan, wtf. I cant belive im saying that but my hope for the Double Pivotttt is Ryan Bertrand and David Luiz.

very good? are you kidding? Romeo played like 100 minutes since RDM got the job. Oscar wont play in Lampards position. Malouda? omg. we are in deep shit if it goes through right now... say goodbye to our chances of winning the league or CL. at least until january.

I heard he's already in TUrkey to sign!! Idiot! You are an idiot RDM!!! Fuck this, i dont care how it sounds, this guy just keep making mistakes in this area. Our midfield sucks and he let Meireles and Essien go with no one coming instead. thats an outrage, not less. im so freaking pissed! damn!

wat?!!!!? if this will happen its... A FUCKING DISGRACE! we dont have nearly enough quality in midfield, and now we'll stay with Lampard, Mikel, Ramiers and Romeo? WTF! I'll hate Di matter if he's going to let him go.

He wont join in January... if the club thought we need him why wait to the middle of the season? doesnt make any sense. And why would Atletico let him go in January when its obvious that in the summer they will get the same money or even more? they need him too you know. please dont get your hopes up, wont happen.

I know its early but i think Robbie should start with this midfield from now on: --------Meireles-Mikel---------- --------------Oscar----------- Hazard-------------------Mata We have problems with our double pivot? so Oscar can be the 3rd midfielder to get more body there, and can still control our game from that position. I think its the perfect solution. Thoughts?

He isnt the right guy to play with Carrick/Cleverly, which is very much like Lampard isnt the right guy to play with Mikel. Scholes isnt mobile enoguh, do things very slowly, cant press - overall do very very little on defense. And those things being said by United fans all the time. The grass is always greener.... Lampard did very well last season (with RDM) when we played in a certain way, therefore i dont think he's totally past it. He just dont need to be first choise in Chelsea, especialy not with Mikel besides. * Wait, you dont think man u had to get a new CM/CDM this summer?

In the end of last season i'll admit that i thought Mikel+Lampard are good enough for it, but now its pretty clear to me they did good mainly because we played so defensevly most of the time. I understand now that they arent a good fit. Not because they cant pass the ball or something like that, simply because no one of them has that "Bulldog" mentality. Not even close. Mikel never been this way, Lampard had the energy few years ago, now he doesnt, and he's good defensevly but not that good. Now i saw Meireles in the Euro's, and i thought he was realy good at what he needed to do at Portugal's midfield. He has that energy, he can press, and he can be pretty responsible. He's a good worker. Now that we know that we arent going to have another DM in Tiote or someone like him, belive it or not i think Meireles should be a big part of this team, maybe the solution to our problem. We saw that against Newcastle it worked pretty well, Robbie MUST see this is the only solution. (wrote that in the deadline day thered.. think it fits more to this one)

Thats why he's still relying on 'back from retirement' Paul Scholes to save his midfield game and dont buy a new CM that he need so much?

A very very good window overall, im not even worried about Torres and Sturridge, the only thing that worries me is the DM positions. In the end of last season i'll admit that i thought Mikel+Lampard are good enough for it, but now its pretty clear to me they did good mainly because we played so defensevly most of the time. I understand now that they arent a good fit. Not because they cant pass the ball or something like that, simply because no one of them has that "Bulldog" mentality. Not even close. Mikel never been this way, Lampard had the energy few years ago, now he doesnt, and he's good defensevly but not that good. Now i saw Meireles in the Euro's, and i thought he was realy good at what he needed to do at Portugal's midfield. He has that energy, he can press, and he can be pretty responsible. He's a good worker. For example, i dont think he was inferior compare to Javi Garcia in the Euro's. Now that we know that we arent going to have another DM in Tiote or someone like him, belive it or not i think Meireles should be a big part of this team, maybe the solution to our problem. We saw that against Newcastle it worked pretty well, Robbie MUST see this is the only solution. Edit: LOL i got realy confused, Javi Garcia is spanish, I mixed up with him and Miguel Veloso. I thought City signed the Portuguese CDM (who is actaully Veloso). How good is that Garcia anyway?

Doesnt mean they realy need them all. Infect they just dont. im not talking about us btw... i would be happy with Remy joining the team, even if i think we'll be okay with just Torres+Sturridge.

Harry Redknapp spotted at McDonald's drive-thru earlier. Staff claim he just wanted to talk to someone from his car window...

lol what. They are about to get Moutinho, Lloris, and maybe another striker.

Manchester City have agreed a £24m fee with Benfica for midfielder Javi Garcia (Sky Sports) A bit too much for him, but a nice signing for City. With him and Toure City's midfield will have an interesting partnership to watch.

Im pretty sure it will be: Sandro - Dembele -----Moutinho----- Very very similar to what AVB played in Porto- Fernando (Sandro), Guarin (Dembele), Moutinho (Moutinho). I think its a very storng midfield, imo stronger than what they had last season. I always thought Modric-Parker partnership isnt storng enough defensively. Now it looks very impressive both defensively and offensively.
