Oscar 441 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I really wish we bought Cabaye and Alderweireld in the summer before anyone else could, not loaned out Kalas and Moses and kept Luis or Bertrand. Then there's the matter of Falcao, when we could've kept Bamford because he'd be infinitely more useful than him. I can only imagine how good we could've been with (new signngs or recalls in bold):GK: Begovic, Courtois, Amelia, BlackmanFB: Azpi, Ivanovic, Kalas, Bertrand/LuisCB: Terry, Cahill, Zouma, AlderweireldCM: Fabregas, Oscar, Cabaye, Matic, Ramires, Mikel, RLCLM: Hazard, Kenedy, MosesRM: Willian, PedroST: Costa, Bamford, Remy, TraoreCabaye left PSG to become a starter....

Etoo fils 45 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Someone has watched with regularity to Sofiane Boufal?. The rumors says that he is a target of Tottenham. I have heard of him a lot, and now I've seen him on videos, and looks amazing. Insane ability, disequilibrium at maximum level, explosive and effective in both wings. He reminds me to the actual Douglas Costa. And only 22 years. But in the videos is not possible see a very important aspect, his taking decisions, the point who separates simples good dribblers, with TOP players. So, someone who has seen him in entire matches can talk about him?.He definitly has something but he's not ready. He looks like more HBA than Hazard.He need to improve what I call football IQ, when to pass, when to dribble.His passing is not very good.He's not a player for Chelsea but if he improves, who knows. illmatic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 We needed someone better to play alongside Matic, Neves or Tielemans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 We needed someone better to play alongside Matic, surely we could've told him that he would be starting a lot. Fabregas is shit defensively and then there's only Ramires and Mikel who would be real competition as Mourinho only ever plays RLC if everyone else is dead or something.We should have sold Mikel and signed illarramendi from Real Madrid, we could have wrapped that signing up before we started pre-season, illarramendi would have been perfect for us.

I saw the big part of his games in Real Madrid, and this guy is not enough for a top team. Nothing personality, plays in slow motion, soft in defending, nothing intensity, this guy would be even more shit on premier league.The fact that defines this player, is that was himself who ask to Ancelotti to not play the UCL final against Atletico. Player with not even bollocks? No, thanks. didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player with not even bollocks? No, thanks.he is a quality player, and has looked very good this season. His confidence was just shot to pieces at Real, plenty of players have flopped at RM and then have gone on to have a great career, Jose would have got his confidence back and he could have been a very good signing for us, certainly an upgrade on Mikel.

He looks good this season because he's playing for a mid-table side without any expectations.We should be aiming to sign better players than Illaramendi.

The only direct quote is that 'I will never play for Athletic de Bilbao'. There is nothing that states the reason Illarramendi left because 'he just needed to feel loved, he suffered with a lack of confidence at RM'.

It mustn't be 'common knowledge' when the sources you provide don't even mention it. I think you are full of nonsense and can't handle the fact you've been called out on something you've pulled out of your arse.I'll be waiting for the post when you actually back up your claims.
