No. He didn't get those goals playing as a CAM. He got those by getting forward alot and making late runs into the box from CM! He is a CM and always has been! There's no difference in the position he is playing last season than to the previous either. Only difference that he is much more reserved and playing a more disciplined role, which is the reason why we hardly see him making his trademark runs and getting his usual ton of goals! I seriously suggest you to watch games on Lampard first before you actually go call someone stupid...

So, you can only get goals and assists if you play in the CAM position? Well nice one genius...

Did I? Was just saying...

Ha! In regards to Xavi... http://espnfc.com/en/news/1092325/spain-legend-luis-suarez-rates-andrea-pirlo-xavi.html

You will earn a rep soon from cap.

Hazard is a winger but capable of playing in CAM and he even said he prefers to play there. That is another story though. Mata plays out wide before but he does his job best in the CAM role, as we have seen already in this past season. And Lampard is not even a CAM. He is a central midfielder!

Erm, we have Mata, Hazard, McEachran, KDB, Benayoun and even Meireles for the CAM role. How many more do we need?!

Seriously, how many CAM do we need?!!

Any Arsenal players...

A little bit of leniency should be allowed here...

At most it would probably be 20m only. I suspect that he might even have a release clause in his contract. In addition, he is a former teammate of Hazard.

Cabaye is an option.

Josh might be loaned out and still unproven anyway. Meireles is average in that role. Half agree with the latter part. Still need a midfield creator that can dictate matches like Scholes does AND draw out the opposition that would probably be sitting deep to contain our front 4.

Yes but what if he gets injured or needs to be rested? There's no one else who can play in that role and offer creativity right now.

Yeah but never see this being mentioned in the previous transfer purchases and all of a sudden...

Exactly why are we suddenly talking about pre-tax/post-tax in the wages when it comes to Hazard?

I don't think Hazard is on 200K p/w as reported in the English media. Would much rather believe the French and Belgian media in this one. He'll be earning only 110K p/w at the club. It's arguably still a lot for a 21 y/o but certainly nowhere near the BS that the English media is writing!

Really? Don't remember anything about that. Thought he has been on the same wage pay as Lampard.

Not too sure about that. superblue mentioned the same thing as you in the above post.

OUCH(!) if true.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/olympics/article-2156659/London-2012-Olympics-Daniel-Sturridge-Team-GB-striker.html Looks like Sturridge is gonna go to the Olympics and it's set to be given the striker role upfront.

He is and has been for years now. In his own world, tiki-taka is the only way to play football. Play any other way and you would have committed a cardinal sin and should be exiled from football altogether. So many times down the years he has come out to criticize teams that play defensively against Barcelona whenever they couldn't get a win against them AND if they do beat these defensive teams, he will be saying it's "justice for football!".
