blue_swaggin_96 96 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yes, let's spend 100M pounds on midfielders. Where would Lucas play? We have Oscar, Lampard, Marin, Mata, Hazard, Meireles, Ramires, Mikel, Essien, and Romeu (not to mention Malouda, Benayoun, KDB, Piazon, McEachran, and Kakuta). At this point, buying another midfielder is just taking time away from someone else who deserves playing time.And Kagawa was primarily a central attacking midfielder with Dortmund. I assume that's where he'll play for United.easy get rid of bold and replacement them with another young midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 easy get rid of bold and replacement them with another young midfielders.But that's an insane waste of money. Essien and Meireles will likely play reduced roles this season anyway, so you're essentially spending 30M pounds to cover 15 starts or something. And that's assuming that none of the youngsters stay at Chelsea. And Chelsea would have spent about 100M pounds in one transfer period only on attacking midfielders. I know people want to buy every single young player they like, but it's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Still don't know where he would even play. As an Attacking Midfielder I'm guessing? Not his best position. Can't see this move working really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent, Wagner Ribeiro (spelling?), is apparently a well documented Man United fan.. not sure if its true or not but if it is I'd say hes whispering in the kids ear telling him to go there.

Rahul Haque 57 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 we do have a much better history with brazilians then united in recent years. belletti, alex, luiz, ramires, deco amongst the first teamers...all proved handy for us. now oscar, piazon will come good. well there's mineiro..lol but he never played a single game.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Oscar would appear to be far better value... Makes our deal look even better now... All our brazilians, looking good for attracting ones in the future, especially if a lot stay and become our experienced players... Neymar, could come just to be with his brazilian mates...

Tomo 21,751 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Neymar, could come just to be with his brazilian mates... If Neymar comes on the market in a couple of years, their be a huge bidding war for his services, the amount of money the club would generate through his marketing would be insane.As for Lucas i really am not looking forward to him going to Man.Utd, part of his because he is a talent but the other side it will kick off a Oscar vs Lucas debate all fucking season to go with the already tedious Hazard vs Kagawa one.

Well done to him, especially after saying Hazard wasn't worth 32 million now their paying at least 10 million more than they should for Lucas. Brilliant.
