Kojo 4,676 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Bastion Schweinsteiger is an unreal player, one hell of a player, would love him to come to Chelsea, but i see don't see him coming here, perhaps if i heard something then i would have some faith... but nothing at the moment.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Did you forget the Torres/Luiz signings....There's still time mate.Sure we'll be disgracefully desperate by then, but we like to over-pay for players just to gloat how much money our owner has..No not forgotten lol, personally think we'll get Sneijder on the last day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosnianLion 232 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Miralem Pjanic just came off the bench after half-time, scored a goal, and assisted a goal for Lyon and the game still has 20 minutes left. Thats 3 assists, 2 goals in 3 games, playing 45 mins. per game on average. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 isn't he like 15mil? that's a risk worth going for. maybe not if we get another mid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosnianLion 232 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 isn't he like 15mil? that's a risk worth going for. maybe not if we get another midHe's listed at 9 million euros but I suspect Lyon wouldn't let him go for less than 15. We could probably get him for 15-19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. 2,742 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 after today we need someone in we looked a little clueless in midfield today lampard has to be dropped pains me to say but its now come to that time were hes aint the player he used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Pjanic has great potential but he has fallen out of favour, just like Ederson, who was seen as the next big thing, ie. the next Juninho. Lyon preferred to operate with Gourcuff, Kallstrom and Gonalons last season and now they have changed their system to have Lisandro, Gomis, and usually Briand, Lacazette or Pied up front in a more orthodox 4-3-3 system with genuine wingers, but with Michel Bastos and Kallstrom in deeper roles, a bit like this (though personnel changes frequently): Lloris Gassama/Reveillere - Lovren - Kone - Cissohko Bastos - Kallstrom/GonalonsGourcuff/Kallstrom Briand/Pied/Lacazette - Gomis - Lisandro Because he's not a regular starter we may be able to prize him away. Lyon wouldn't sell Pjanic for anything less than £12 million (roughly €15 million), I think, because although he is not a regular first eleven player, he comes on most matches in case Lyon have no joy out wide.

Severinb 309 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 what do you guys think of nicolas Gaitan of benfica? He is a man utd target but i have heard he is too expensive for them, maybe we could use our benfica connections to get him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thing with creative midfielders is that it's tough for them to adapt to the pressure and the pace of PL. I would rather pay us a shit load of money for someone like Modric or Sneijder who are proven and who won't have problem adapting.what do you guys think of nicolas Gaitan of benfica? He is a man utd target but i have heard he is too expensive for them, maybe we could use our benfica connections to get him!I personally don't know him too much as I don't watch Benfica ...perhaps someone who follows Benfica closely can tell us more about him?

Severinb 309 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Francisco Román Alarcón Suárez, aka Isco (born 21 April 1992 in Benalmádena, Málaga, Andalusia), is a Spanish footballer who plays for Málaga CF mainly as an attacking midfielder!I watched the malaga against racing santander and he played outstanding as a CAM!Could be another option if we dont get other target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 He's definitely a great player but we have Mceachran and Piazon who are both equally talented. I would like to get him but we should go for players that will jump right in like Modric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'd personally like to see a toni kroos/adel taarabt type player join our squad. they're not linked with us, but would love to see them in our squad!! however i'd rather we bought a winger first who can cross, and do a lot of it, while beat a man 1v1. we dont have that bale/nani in our squad that can draw a double team (unless you really think rbs are losing sleep the night before they face the invincible malouda.) :541: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I think our chance of getting Modric has gone . He is driving Spurs challenge for a CL place. I was just about to say the same thing. I think he would have second thoughts now about joining us now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
