I didnt say it was anyone in here who said it. I dont discuss Chelsea only on TC, real life exists. My problem is not with all of you who are not agreeing with me. I dont know why you felt "attacked".... Hmm, do you play football in any level? Having a big name playing with you aliviates the pressure, you cant even imagine. That leads to way less mistakes. We are needing it more than everything else. When the game gets out of hand our players keep looking around scared and they dont find anyone who they can relly on (just put alll their "problems" in his shoulder). That is beginning to happen with Mata, but still a long way to go. What do we do until then? Just lose? It has nothing to do with football abilities. It is as I explained: He is not the guy Oscar, Hazard, Moses, Azipilicueta, etc, will look at in an UCL Semifinal being 2-1 down and think "no problem, we have Gonalons". I want someone who will have that kind of impact on the players. De Rossi and Totti does it to Roma, I want something similar. All I am saying is that if he comes, we will still have that problem in the pivot. He will improve the squad a lot, but when those situations come (and they will), he will just be one more scared puppy amongst everyone else. This does not mean he is shit or that he wont become a leader, but that will take time and I dont want it taking any more time. We need 1-2 players with gigantic shoulders to carry us and we need it fast. Like I said, it wasnt you, I was speaking in general. Gonalons is a hell of a player and he has captained Lyon, but that is not enough to carry the team. I do want him, but he should be our 2nd or 3rd option. I prefer we secure a top ST and CM before we buy a promissing/almost ready DM and Winger. This resumes: "If we buy him, we would still need a top CM (which is fine for me, btw)." EDIT: Please, dont give me Torres, he does not fit in any criteria!
