It probably means we will keep KDB, not send him on loan and buy one RW. We will have plenty of cover.

Obviously I mean if he goes out on loans and develops...

Cahill was a fantastic buy. Luiz was very overpriced but he has been solid under RDM. He doesn't make those mistakes he used to. He's been classy and could become even better. So the price may eventually be worth it. Consider that he also may be at the club for many years. Same thing for Lukaku. 18 million could seem like a Bargain for him in a few years.

Fitting response from someone of your intelligence.

Where did I change my tune? Saying bye now because you've lost this argument...pathetic. Good riddance.

Realising? I already know wingers have to do SOME sort of defending but some people were going on like our wingers should do nothing but contain/defend. Stop assuming, you know what they say about assuming...

I'm sure our new wingers will put in a shift but they're soul purpose should not be to defend...

Exactly. Marvin your point makes no sense.

I can't see what you're on about.

Exactly. That team gives you literally everything. Pace, great passing and creativity, goals, strength, defensive abilities etc. Romeu could be a very good passer.

Edited Toure is a poor mans Essien (at his prime). I'd like to see a midfield of Romeu-Ramires

Wow. I stopped reading there...We are getting the players to play attacking football. Thank God. Enough of this defensive anti-football crap. Let's do what Arsenal can't and WIN with style.

Exactly. I thought it was well known to all that we were playing defensive football not by choice but because there was no other way. I don't know how some did not see that. Like I said, they've unfortunately become deluded as to where to draw the line between defence and attack. Do you see the top teams getting their attackers to defend? That is a very small club mentality.

I think Ramires should be given another try in the double pivot role.

^ Agreed. Hulk can become world class with better players around him. Our attack would be overwhelming. I like the idea of Ramires as the ball winner and harrasser of the midfield while Mikel is the more calm, composed shield to the defence. If Mikel could improve his passing a bit it would be great as Ramires's runs from the deep are already a way we can link defence to attack. If not Mikel than Romeu or even even Frank can play there as the passer/deep lying playmaker. Ramires as a ball winner/tackler and with his powerful, driving runs could be devastating.

Barcelona.

The fact does not change that wingers are not defenders...I really don't know why you want them to be.

If we buy a player for M'Vila's price it won't be to 'rotate' with the players we already have...

We won't be anymore. Get that out of your head. It's clear Roman wants to play attacking football. The only reason we played so defensive against Barca and Bayern was because we didn't have the players to play any other way. Why on earth would we need to play Ramires on the wing against Man City? They don't have alot of width anyway and would have to deal with our threat first (Hazard and Hulk). If we don't get Hulk we will probably get another RW. We may yet still get a CM like Cabaye to play as one of the double pivots. All in all our wingers should not step on that pitch with the thought of 'Defending' (unless it's Barca/Madrid). That would be a load of rubbish.

Since when were wingers Defenders? FFS This defensive mentality alot of you have is worrying. Alot of you have become deluded. Wingers are meant to attack and support the striker. If they can defend a bit great, but attacking is what they're on the pitch to do. Sure for a few games we can Play Ramires on the left or right but most of the time we will play with the attacking wingers. How does Bayern cope with Robben and Ribery? How does Madrid cope with Ronaldo and Di Maria? Wingers are not defenders. We are not going to play defensive, counter-attacking football anymore FFS.

First time I've seen you on this forum for a while. Unfortunately you reply with a stupid post like that...

This is the most stupid thing I've read in a while. Average in terms of ability? Nonsense. He's a very good player. He's also built for the EPL. 25 and won't improve much? How about David Silva? Stop talking nonsense.

Rubbish.
