Chelsea_firstlove 178 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 No Champion League, Conte out, no Tuchel, no Sarri, no one want to manage us. Hazard out, Courtois out, no Icardi, no Isco, no one want to play for us. Lampard will be the next manager, develop young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! El P. 1,354 Posted April 3, 2018 Popular Post! Share Posted April 3, 2018 Not buying proper central midfielder was the biggest mistake we have made in recent years, one huge let down that will go down in history as a main decision that put this club into the dark. In defense we have brought Christy, not our fault Luiz went totally AWOL. In attack we have brought Morata, well, nobody could know that he wouldn't be good. But either of our defenders or strikers are more useful that Drinkayoko, or Fabregas. I mean, even on their good day, Drinkayoko doesn't offer us enough. We have Kante for all they are offering. And Fabregas isn't even good with the ball anymore and that was coming for years. We may be having some average defenders and strikers, but we have no midfield at all. EDIT: All top 5 teams have a much better midfield than ours, I only rate Liverpool's as not that good, but even their is more balanced than ours, with Can and Wijnaldum, I rate both way more than any of ours (except Kante of course). robsblubot, Johnnyeye, manpe and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Luis Campos will be the most important transfer this summer, I think. Problems at the club need to be fixed from the back room first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El P. 1,354 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Again, I will write something about central midfielder. One may say I am obsessed with CM, but I get that a lot. Ok, we for sure miss creativity. A lot of creativity, and I would say, "game controlling" ability. I haven't seen us really dominating the midfield for significant period of time (for half a season at last), since Lampard-Ballack era. And I don't even mean possession dominating, I mean dominating in a balanced way, like our past team did from 2005-2010. So I am asking, can some new wing-backs give us that quality? I really really don't think so. Even Sandro or I don't know. Because their quality is mostly running up and down the pitch, providing width and stuff, they won't give us any control. It would be a lot easier to find midfielder with those qualities than WB. Koke, Saul, Rakitić, Jorginho, just to name a few, who could be available. Dembele from Spurs would be ideal if you ask me, but he is too injury prone. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one from that list that's a possibility is Jorginho. The 3 in La Liga have 0 chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell Drinkwater (or loan him), buy Weigl/Jorginho/Savić/Kovačić, and 35-40% of our problems are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I m dead sure Conte will not be the man in charge next season and the Two likely candidates (Enrique/Jardim) don't fancy 2 man midfield...yes he is absolutely well suited to 3man midfield... Either of those names u put up there are absolutely spot on... Another guy I would welcome with open arms is Arthur Melo but he seems Barça bound....

Statistically he's one of the best dribblers in Europe, has a strong, accurate shot from range, passing is strong, has shown he can work in a midfield two with his defensive work. He's only had his breakthrough season this season and has just happened to kinda stay off the main pages but would fully expect him to be well known by 2019 summer and linked to all the biggest clubs for €150m. Milinkovic Slavic had a similar rise to where he is now, and Tolisso, players you can tell are just good players and will fit into a top club (unlike Bakayoko where watching him for Monaco had doubts).
