You are so dumb, better continue playing FIFA! We need players in pratically every area of the pitch: defense (CB and LB), midfield (DM/CM) and attack (Winger and ST). It does not mean we need an overhaul. When did I say buying players in January hurts the team? It hurts the business and adaptation (some players need it and some dont). Also where did selling Ba became some sort of argument? I even said it was a brilliant purchase. The winter transfer window is not made for building a squad, you dont buy 3-4 players to save a season and expect it to work. Yes, we dont desperately need a pivot player, we are basically only fighting for a top4 spot. Mikel will comeback, Luiz proved he can play there, Lampard is a natural CM and so is Rambo, Oscar can cover if necessary and in a desperate scenario we have Ake. Why do you want to buy useless temporary players in January? To satisfy your need to see Chelsea active or else the Board is doing a shit job? CFC needs players who can support pressure and make a difference, this you dont find in January. Well, you even find it, but you pay absurd amounts. CMs who would go for 20-25mi end up being 30-35mi. I guess that is what we need in your mind, right? LOL
