The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The players we've got on loan are all getting good playing time. Bringing them back would probably stall their personal development.Unless we've got a domineering defensive midfielder on loan who I'm forgetting, I don't know if they'll solve many of our issues.

The Mak 4,459 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 What do we think of Fellaini as a DM? Certainly better than Mikel I think, more of a physical presence. He'd be a bit overpriced, but I suppose it'll always happen with us. Don't know enough on him as a DM though as Moyes has been using him as a second striker basically.Be a good link up with all of our other Belgian collection anyway! http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/8298821/Everton-s-Marouane-Fellaini-would-prefer-to-play-as-a-defensive-midfielder LondonPride1905 and xPetrCechx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's much less ponderous on the ball than Mikel and doesn't seem to give up or fall asleep like Mikel does.Plus he chips in with the odd goal even from a deeper position. To me he has the presence, the attitude and the determination to really make an impact in that DM role. I also think it would mean we could move Oscar back into the double pivot because he'd have this presence beside him. At the moment we seem to have to play with both Mikel and Ramires to cover up Mikel's failings. The Mak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lantern18 54 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I AM HOPING TO GOD WE SIGN TWO STRIKERS, FELLAINI, ANOTHER TALL MIDFIELDER AND A CENTRE BACK NEXT MONTH.JESUS.I think we also need to be looking at leader types of players aswell. Because we certainly need some leaders in the team at the moment. I realize that we have JT and Frank Lampard to fill out that role. But what exactly are we going to do if they end up missing a few more games this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I would seriously want a manager that knows what exactly to do. Someone that has clear plan on what style we will play, what formation, will youth players be involved or is he going to spend big on new players...With unstable manager and clueless board, I dont think we will buy players that will actualy fit to our play in next two years. We already fucked up couple players, that are good and I like them, but are somehow useless like Rambo, Danny,...I think we should sign Cavani, maybe recall Kdb (and play him), proper winger (Sanchez, Dzsudzsak, Bale,...), and give chance to Chalobah, Ake, Feruz, Piazon, Mceachran (once he returns), Bamford. Maybe we should also sign Barkley, he looks promising english talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaKid10 35 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Mario Gomez anyone ? He would be such a good signing!! I would love him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdenHazard 163 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Huntelaar is available for £6 million i believe so, For a player of his standard. And in today's marker. Thats a bargain. Even if its for a couple of years of having him. That'd be good business. Centre-Mid seems to be another big problems for us; Not really sure who i'd go for. McEachran could do that role well. But certainly don't want to re-call him from loan whilst he's out on loan and enjoying game-time.Think a CB would be nice aswell, But hopefully once JT returns he'll be able to stay fit right up until the summer and then we'll look for a CB in the Summer.

termninja 5,290 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 If we could get Huntelaar here for 6m it would be a good piece of business. I am not for big money striker coming in January...gives me such a bad deja vu...would be nice to recall Lukaku also and get another defensive midfielder for a decent price.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 If we could get Fellaini then that would be a massive upgrade on the DM position.In terms of striker, I don't know if we have to spend big. Look at the likes of Kone and Ba and there's value in the market, and we simply need someone who does the absolute basics that a striker is expected to because Torres doesn't do that. Just a guy who can control a ball, run the channels and LEAD THE LINE. Just stay on the last man rather than hanging out on the edge of the penalty box.

Billy. 2,742 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 get rid of Torres of course Bring back Lukakui never knew this until a few post up but if we can get a top striker for 6 mill that will score goals why the fuck not beast spending another 40+million on a striker againi also want us to buy some Muscle to bulk up out midfield we get to easily over run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Bring back LukakuNo. No no no no no.No.Sorry, I like him but he was fucked around by us last season and he just seems to be getting used to the English game. Leave him at West Brom and bring him back next summer. Same goes for all the other youngsters. This season is a mess and the club is toxic right now. It would do him a disservice to bring him into this.Make some cheap, short-term signings if we have to and start fresh next season. No Torres, no Malouda, no Benitez and a whole fresh slate with lots of young players and a new gaffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Instead of targeting fellaini for 30m to play as a cdm we should look at capoue.He will be fairly cheap and is a fantastic defensive enforcer.He would definitely add a lot of steel in our midfiled.

Let him learn to love the game, especially playing in January at some pretty horrible places. Billy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanBlue 82 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Lukaku should stay at West Brom. He still has a lot to learn and the expectations for any striker to replace Torres will very very high and he wouldn't fit them right now.

He still has a lot to learn and the expectations for any striker to replace Torres will very very high and he wouldn't fit them right now.I guess the expactations for any striker who will replace Torres are rather low. Just shoot once in a while and score now and then. Blue-in-me-Veins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'm going to throw a name out there and await the stick.Darren Bent.Out of favour, cheap/possible loan option. But the one thing he does is score goals. He does the absolutely basics at league level of running the channels, playing right on the last man and laying the ball off. That's all we really need - a guy who can do the basics, something Torres clearly can't. Blue-in-me-Veins and CHOULO19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
