kellzfresh 7,229 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I think Song and Toure are quite similar players...remember Toure before he joined City? He was in very similar situation as Song is atm. Both were forced to sit on bench, due to Sergio busquets. Barca played them in defence if that was required, both got unhappy etc.Their abilities are very similar, both like to bomb forward, have great ball control (Song made dozen assists in last season at Arsenal). They are overrated in defensive sense, because neither Song or Yaya are great tacklers. And they are oftenly out of possition.I remember Toure who was known as good player, but just once he came to City and got main role, he become world class. Song was amazing in Arsenal aswell, we might give a shot and sign Song in january/summer. He cost Barca around 18mio, Im sure we can risk 18mio for someone like Song.i forgot about him, he was a very good player. EPL proven, very mobile, tough tackler and can pass vertical long passes(vanpersie can testify to this)But i think he still likes arsenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 wasnt there a huge problem between him and eto?Well I doubt Barca would sell Song in january in first place...in summer, Etoo will leave probably and we could easily afford Song. Question is if Barca would sell him to us though. I think he would have no problem joining us, he was never realy Arsenal through and through. I believe right now, he only wants to play much more and he could be realy important player for us. He is however often out of possition, that could cause some trouble in defence, but if he played in pivot along Ramires, that would be world class duo; tackling, ultimate stamina and power; giving lot of space ans time for our attacking players.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Unbelievable how good Ramsey is this season. Goals, creativity, defending, consistency, he has it all. If he can keep it for whole season and next one, he will turn into world class midfielder of Lamps/Gerrard stature. I can only imagine how good we would look with Ramsey instead of Lamps in this season (all respect to our legend, but Ramsey has something that Lamps lost; energy and pace)Ahh, Ramsey will never join us, thats a fact.

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Priorities for January:Keep Mata.Mobilize our resources to get a CDM/DLP, and not a fucking striker.( i know the stats: only 6 scored from last 43 Chelsea goals scored by strikers- so what?)Jackson Martinez is gonna be a mistake.Anyone less than Falcao or Lew is gonna be a mistake. I'm sure Jose know better. Despiadado.Maleante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 If we could get someone like Song in that'd be fantastic. A Song - Ramires pivot is pretty solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Song looks really awful technically when he plays in Barca.. It would be better than what we have but not sure if it's enough. Mufassir08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Just hope I don't see either Courtois or David Luiz playing for Barca any time soon. stefansjjacko and Reddish-Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.bo 48 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Another season and a world class cm and a 20+ prem striker not addressed bustmyballsfc ,the cfc staff need to be accountable for this,we dont know how good mvg will be but to go all the season with Lampard,Essien,Ramires,Mikel is not good enough ,hope Ake or afew other young lions get a chance but i fear we will fall short this season due to above positions not been sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom2013 446 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Sporting Lisbon has a great defensive midfielder called William Carvalho. He is 21 y/o, very tall, strong physically, he makes good passes, he is really good and in a couple of years he will be one of the best players in his position in europe. I would buy him in Janueary since it seems we are having trouble finding one good player to buy. Sporting Lisbon is not in European competitions this season so he can play it this season with any team. I think he is by far the best player of Sporting and one of the big reasons why SPorting is the leader in this moment in Portugal. Here you can see his performance against Porto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_ewfc-5REg Waterfall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefansjjacko 5 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Seen links to Imbula, Matic, Jorginho, and apparently Jose was scouting Axel Witsel not Martinez or Falcao and the Belgium/Columbia game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 After reading so many speculations, I get the feeling Chelsea ain´t buying anybody in January.Currently, the team is in 3rd-4th gear sporadically. If Jose can get them into 5th - 6th by the end of January, the PL title is coming home to Stamford Bridge.Despite of it, I still would like to see a DM being bought next month.
