Mceachran 109 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 It bothers me that for the next few weeks, with Mikel gone to ACON, we have no holding midfielders. Of course, we have Ramires, Lampard and Luiz. But let's face it, none of them are true holding midfielders.We need to sign someone! I really hope the board are working on it as we speak. Someone like Capoue would be perfect. Assuming the Benat rumours are true also, Capoue, Benat + Ba would be a very good January transfer window for us.Call me crazy but I don't think we should buy a new CM. I think we should use our youth. We just one the CL and FA cup. It's a long shot to go for the title. I wish we would've recalled Mceachran and Lukaku instead of buying Ba and _____. We'll never have another legend at this club until we give some youth a real shot. I don't think what we're doing is terrible, but think about all of the solid young talent that is constantly waiting in the wings because we're too scared to just trust and grow our players. I dunno just very frustrating as a supporter to get excited about rising talent when they have only the choices to either shine brilliantly when first brought in (mata) or constantly wait until we have no choice but to play them lecter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Two senior Chelsea officials visited Falcao recently. Since he refused to agree to come to Chelsea in January, I believe Chelsea have put his transfer on ice.Since the club bought BA now, who just might turn out even a better bargain I´d say fuck Falcao & buy two more players for 50m the amount Chelsea would have paid for him.If I may respond to the above post.Chelsea are not the club that resort to their academy much. Roman prefers to buy ready made young talented players,loans them out & if they prove to be worth of playing for the team, they get their chance. Otherwise, they are let go, mostly sold cheap.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Micah Richards would be great signing if you ask me, english, versatile and young. A good CM is necessary too. Fellaini was linked lot, maybe Benat, Pjanic or xyz. Cavani in summer and Torres out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet 90% of that crap will be passing around most British building sites today with all tradesmen thinking they know a thing or two about what's going on in the Jan transfer window. You see it's a fact, bullshit sells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different level 1,056 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think we'll deal with the LB position in the summer if Ash doesn't get a new contract. Right now we need a versatile midfielder who can be just as good on the double pivot and among the front 3. Someone like Fellaini perhaps.

bushman 2,043 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 That has to change and I think it will change.I wish you were right but I doubt it. It´s much easier to buy ready made young players than look after them for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton 2,120 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Why are so less teams linked with Sneijder?

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I realy hope we get Benat in january and maybe a striker (David Villa on loan?) who offers something different. A winger like Zaha would be nice too, as he isnt expensive, but homegrown and we need such players. In summer we should buy Cavani who would be our 1st choice, Fellaini who would offer power and versatility in midfield, Micah Richards to add some defensive options and if Cole leaves a good LB (Baines, Coentrao, Nacho or Filipe Luis). Sell Malouda and Torres in summer then.Team: GK: Cech, Turnbull, Courtois?RB: Iva, Azpi, Richards, Wallace?LB: Cole?, Bertrand, Richards, Baines/Coentrao?CB: Terry, Luiz, Cahill, Richards, IvaCDM: Mikel, Rambo, Fellaini, RomeuCM: Rambo, Benat, Oscar, Fellaini, Kdb, Josh?, Lamps?LW: Mata, Hazard, Moses, Zaha, Marin, KdbRW: Mata, Hazard, Moses, Zaha, Marin, KdbCAM: Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Benat, Marin, KdbST: Cavani, Ba, Villa/Bony?/Torres?---Not realy sure we need player like Isco or Zaha, Richards but we will need english players at least. Right now a priority is CM, in summer top striker, DM and defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton 2,120 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Roland Juhasz from Anderlecht looks on his way to Sunderland. Juhasz is in his 7th season with the club from Brussels, but this season he's more on the bench then on the pitch. Anderlecht asks €1.8m for the Hungarian international.Arsenal are looking at Lucas Biglia from Anderlecht. Biglia is looking for a way out of Belgium, at the moment he's missing and the club has no idea where he is. Some Italian clubs allready showed some interest for the Argentinian who has a price tag around €8m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Anelka is training with PSG. Could sign a deal to fill the void of most their strikers leaving. They look awful when Ibrahimovic is rested/suspended, and Anelka would be a great deputy IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
