KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 If Luiz is going to be turned into a DM/CM than we still possibly need 2 signings (apart from CF). We would have to buy a CB: We probably won't go for the likes of Hummels or Subotic in January, so I guess Okore would have to do. In January we should recall Essien. If we don't we would still need to buy a DM as even with Luiz there now, we're still only back where we started since Romeu is gone.

Luiz, Ivan and Cahill can handle it until JT will be back. We dont need 5 options.Our next CB should be the one who will replace JT in the future, it could be Hummels, Yanga-Mbiwa, Subotic... it could happen in the summer, but than i think we should sell Cahill.We do have to get a DM.

The Mak 4,459 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 What about Lars and/or Sven Bender? Any word of them moving in January? They're both DM right?I think we need two new DMs in all honesty and if we sign them both, we could have a pair of Benders...I'll get my coat.

They're both great DMs with great anticipation, who are great at sitting in front of the back four all day long, intercepting passes and making tackles and then move the ball on to a more creative players.

Strike 7,493 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 enough with the Falcao, de Rossi etc. Impossible especially in January. they are tied to the club till 2016-17 and will only leave if we overpay significantly (like torres or luiz)realistically, our options in January- Strikers - Wilfried Bony, Darren Bent, Fernando Llorente, Mauro Zarate, Demba Ba, Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Theo Walcott, Robert Lewandowski,- Mids - Joao Moutinho, Lewis Holtby, Mathieu Flamini, Moussa Sissoko, Fernandinho, Ettiene Capoue, Kevin-Prince Boatengand for replacement for JT in the summer- Defenders - Benedikt Howedes, Neven Subotic, Holger Badstuber, Serdar Tasci, Simon KjaerSpikinho mentioned Xabi Alonso and David Villa - both having less than 2 years left on their contracts. might be possibleedit: apart from all this, we have internal options in Essien, de Bruyne, Lukaku, Jeffrey Bruma, McEachran, Chalobah .....

He'd be a fill in for 2 players rather than one. Just makes more sense that if we convert a CB, we obviously lose a CB thus must get one.

LayZ 201 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The Daily Mail says we're looking at Miralem Pjanic for 14 million...although it also says Frank Lampard is considering an offer from QPR,we could consider that as an index of the credibility of the article....
