With proper manager that has vision, Kdb, Josh, Oscar,... will all be used properly and evolved to max. However, a manager with no clue will ruin them for sure. He wont know how and where to use them and stall their progress. Hopefuly we will fix manager issue in summer.

Well he might be DM too but as player he is best as SS or CAM. However he is not improvement over Mikel at DM, he doesnt even play there this year... Hernanes is beast this year, would be good adition to CM position...

If he only had better running machine, that seems to be only disadvantage at him. Cuz when he is tired, he plays only 50% of abilities.

Fellaini is not fuckin DM! How will he replace Mikel, I dont get it...he could only pair Mikel or play in attacking trio.

Ah If Roman gets bored, there are Pep Guardiola, Simone from Atletico, Clark from Wba, Zdenek Zeman, etc. that can be brought in...

If we win World cup and finish 3rd I will be just happy. That was my 'goal' from start of the season, considering the new players we have. Anything else will be bonus. BUT we need to play with more heart and passion, that is what I miss most right now.

If we change a manager yet again, its going to be laugh from all ends. Goodbye at least a bit of respect left...

I cant imagine another expensive flop to come, so maybe an alternate option is always good to take. Personaly, I would either take Cavani (if we will pay big), Jovetic or Shaarawy (if we will pay medium) or Bony if we will pay ''cheap''. Bony at the moment would feel best option. We dont have a manager that would exactly know what striker we need and might spend big on completely useless player in januar. Once we will have permament manager (like Pep), he will know who to buy and even if that particular player will cost fortune, he will fit our system and manager will teach him well, so it wont be flop. Besides we will probably need some depth in striker area, and Bony seems to fit that bill. If he excels, he will be starter and next world class striker, if he does decent, we will still have chance to buy top striker in summer with Bony as backup. Its always good to have backup like Bony. Also Bony seems to be quite a Chelsea fan and is excited about joining us, he wont have that pressure and probably would fit us just fine, as he has strengh, speed, dribbling and finishing. Sure he would need to addapt, but could do a Michu and start scoring for fun.

Spike

Anzhi is reportedly interested in him. Yay!

Yeah, but we are Chelsea and Im sure Roman will go after big player in january...

Well then fine, but I dont see someone like Bent to save our season. We probably wont sell Torres or Danny, so having Bent, Danny, Torres and someone like Bony makes no real sense. Its pointless, as long Torres will be here as only big money player, Roman will force Rafa to play him. If we loan or buy Bent he will be sub, Danny will be third striker. Bony on other hand, could prove himself and get starting position. Sure Bent could do that to, but we cant know until someone actualy comes in.

Yes, they are different flops I agree, we fucked up with Torres big time. I wish there would be some Anzi, Guanghzou or AL-whatever that would be ready to pay at least 15mio for ''Big name'' Torres. Back on topic now.

You missunderstood, I dont defend Torres (fuck him realy) or blaming Bent for having or not having service. Both have been bad in last two seasons. Bent scored 17 goals at Sunderland (there was not much service to him at such club) but at Villa, he became average. Torres is shit for past three yrs too. Im saying Bent wouldnt fix our problems realy, what we need now. United has RVP, City has XYZ, we would have Bent? I agree he would do better than Torres, but he is not what we need. And buying him wont fix our problems or make us win crucial games. And btw, you realy think just cuz the player is not PL proven, he wont be good imediately or will be extra expensive? One word - Michu. 2 mio and is top scorer with 10 goals so far. We should seriously get Bony if we are loking for cheap alternative option, he has atributes to be great in PL, or at least as good as Bent and younger.

Well he scored only 2 goals this season, and he played regulary for first two months. Then he fall out of favour...Last year he scored only 9 goals. Not much better than Torres realy. Just cuz Torres is bad, not everyone will be better than him. Remember, Torres was great scorer too once...Bent had great season two yrs ago, with 17 goals, but that was that. Nothing special since... We should either try someone big (Cavani,...) or someone cheap, but in good form and talent like Bony, Jovetic (he would still cost 20mio less than Falcao or Cavani),...

Fuck Fellaini, Inler is the beast. Guy is scoring outside penalty area goals for fun, yesterday put two more to his count. In his prime age, fast, strong, powerful player. Great at tackling and going forward. Not typical DPL or DM, but a mix of both. Get him in package with Cavani. Should fix our problems sure.

Regarding PSG paid 40mio, he is a flop. And whoever would buy Pastore now, he is not worth more than 20mio. Thats half of what Psg paid for. And no one would even pay 20mio for Pastore anyway. There are reports several italian teams are interested, but only for loan options.

Well Torres for 50 and Pastore for 40 (to Psg) were flops of decade. To think that we were close to sign Pastore back then freaks me out even more. Stuck with Torres and Pastore for 90mio would be fucking dissapointing...thank god there are clubs like Psg that have even more clueless boards than us...

Please get him in january

Aguero type of striker fits to team that passes a lot (we do) but also has at least 1/2 other players that can regulary score (at city its either Dzeko/Tevez/Balo). Aguero type of striker comes to use as he can also dribble and assist to other players, not just score. But in our team, there are NO finishers. Mata, Hazard, Moses,...are not natural finishers. Mata scores lot but he also misses more. What is the point of having Aguero type of striker who will assist to Mata or Hazard who cant take their chances? In our team, not only striker is required, but also someone from midfield that can score too! Reus for example is such player... We dont have any finishers in the team and we will definately play on our striker and build around him. Cavani would be perfect for this as he can also returns, holds up the ball, has strenght, aerial threat and great finishing.

Cavani, Falcao, Jovetic, Bony,...one will come in january for sure. I dont care who and for how much, we might even promote Feruz. As long our new striker will be scoring goals and lead the line, we will make step forward. FACT.

He also said Torres can regain his form, etc. but we all know he is total shit nowdays. People that are friends will always praise each other, just because Falcao's former coach said he couldnt flop anywhere, it doesnt mean he actualy wont. Perhaps the team would suit him, the playstyle or he could pick injury. He is also already 26 and in august/september/october he played best football of career. He can remain on same level, but he probably wont go up. Sure, he is already on top level, thats why.

Its not the question if Falcao will come in jan or not, but if he comes, will he actualy be that good? He hasnt score in last five matches (pens dont count) and he somehow dipped in form-doesnt do anything realy good in team, besides scoring. If he doesnt score, he is more or less invisible, but still big player anyway.

I would seriously want a manager that knows what exactly to do. Someone that has clear plan on what style we will play, what formation, will youth players be involved or is he going to spend big on new players... With unstable manager and clueless board, I dont think we will buy players that will actualy fit to our play in next two years. We already fucked up couple players, that are good and I like them, but are somehow useless like Rambo, Danny,... I think we should sign Cavani, maybe recall Kdb (and play him), proper winger (Sanchez, Dzsudzsak, Bale,...), and give chance to Chalobah, Ake, Feruz, Piazon, Mceachran (once he returns), Bamford. Maybe we should also sign Barkley, he looks promising english talent.

With money we have, anyone good would suceed in couple seasons. Avb, Rdm, Ancelotti, Mourinho,...even Saf wasnt best in beggining. But I would prefer someone classy, someone that had healthy relationship with our club in past, someone that can create nice sucessful football team, respected and loyal. Pep for example. But the board should stay from transfer decisions and let it to manager. Only then, we would have players we need and that are required to improve and extend squad as whole. Please get Pep in summer, and let him do the job alone. Sign striker that suits us, backup striker, winger, CM, maybe CB and LB and involve our youth players in team. Do that in two-three seasons, and we should have well organised club. But sure board will fuck this up again, because they are not patient.
