We have to get a Yaya Toure style player.

Why? Where would he fit in our current system? And how would that solve some of our current problems?

Besides, what exactly is a "Yaya Toure style" player? You could argue that Ramires is a Toure-style player in terms he is also a B2B central midfielder. You could also say that Mikel is similar in his physical strength, ball retention and somewhat passing, to Toure. So should we get another Ramires or another Mikel? Or if you mean you want someone who could do what Toure has been doing at City for the past couple of seasons, I hate to disappoint you, but there aren't many players of that caliber walking around.

fellaini?

Hem not really, Even if i like my Belgian mate, Fellaini won't never be as good as Yaya, but Witsel can play in the same league one day, i'm sure of it

[lucio 5,418]

this season for me fellaini has been the best mid in the pl.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

You can add Torres (15M) to that list

oh right, how could i forget him...

[bushman 2,043]

Even though, another Ya-ya might be hard to find but someone similar would be desired.

As it was mentioned here several times, Chelsea needs to bulk up the midfield, urgently.

I've been doing studying, and found the three perfect options to partner Luiz at centerback in terms of language barrier and complemence.

I'm not sure if we could get him for a good price. He'll cost loads.

He can be a good choice although I'm not quite sure how good he really is ..

Why? dont u see that we have a midfield problem? we need someone back there who can control the game and score goals, create chances, give good passes...

And no, Im not talking about Mikel, I'm talking about a GOOD player.

Ramires is very good but he tends to rush forward everytime he has the ball (its been better lately). We need someone who aswell as attacking can give us dominance in midfield.. Against those Southamptons and Wigans or Swanseas we HAVE to control the game. Not that against big teams it can do any harm.

Plus, we need a player in that position anyway.. With Frank probably leaving ( ), Romeu getting back from an injury, Mikel being useless, so yea we need this kind of player.

Khedira is one of Mourinho's guys. Most Real Madrid fans and the RM biased media have been wanting to get rid of him for a couple of years now, so after Mourinho leaves I'm pretty sure Khedira will go too. Price shouldn't be a problem.

[bushman 2,043]

Whether Jose leaves or not, it still remains to be seen.

As for Khedira, Real will decide whether he stays or not, regardless of Jose.

As for Torres, he is going nowhere. Anyone who thinks he might go anywhere is dreaming only.

We need toure style player to make our Middlefield be strong again like in the times of makelele or essien. Our Middlefield is weak, the only thing that good 'bout it is the speed of ramires. mikel should LEAVE.. he literaly can't pass (we need someone to make the long passes like carick) ,shoot or even defense. Another thing is that no one fucking shot from long distances, especially the "second wave" (DM,CM,CB). mikel and ramires don't know how to shoot and we need that player with that killer shot.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Mikel is in a bad run of form. It would be mad to sell him considering his play when he is on form, particularly during the end of last season and the start of this season. Squad player at best next season

Wouldnt say "mad" ... youre talking as if when he's on form he is AMAZING. He isnt .. a decent player at most.

Decent didn't win us the Fa Cup and CL. His passing and general skill of distributing transition was above average and to sell him, wait for it, would be mad as he would provide a great squad player. Similar to when Essien/Ballack and Mak all started before him yet he provided stable coverage for them

[Billy. 2,742]

I want Shaw, Lewandowski, Shawcross.and A great squad player would be Shaun Maloney from Wigan

My wet dream is to get Marko Rues what a signing that would be

I like Dortmund as a club and their current system. I hope it stays like that and no one claws over their players and manager. They are what I wish Forest did, re-emerge on the world stage

[bushman 2,043]

Personally, I would like to see Chelsea getting 2-3 players in the summer.

Felliani, Schurrle just might be my choices.

I believe, Chelsea are ready to challenge for all major trophies, then.

Of course CL, PL is my priority in that order.

[Bigchelsea1 2]

what about terry as assistant to Pellegrini .

luiz as captian and mata assist

then we play.

cech

dave godin luiz cole

wayama (playing infront of defence to free luiz)

oscar ( he can create from the mid field freeing mata)

shrulle mata hazard

lukaku (he can do the job)

subs

Ba, ramirez, romeu, moses new(goalie) LAMPARD, benatia cahill, BETRAND.

luiz can go to mid field when cahill or benatia plays. ramirez to replace oscar when we need a defensive presence in midfield.

IN

SCHRULLE ,BENATIA, WAYAMA, NEW GOALIE

IMPORTANT OUTS

IVANOVIC, TORRES,MIKEL, ROSS,

BRING THE YOUNG PLAYERS TO BACK TO LONDON TO PLAY IN THE UNDER 21 LEAGUE SO WE CAN GIVE THEM A CHANCE IN THE FIRST WHEN NEEDEDS.

I LOVE MOURIHNO BUT IF HE WILL NOT STAY FOR 5 YEARS TO BUILD AND HELP THE YOUNG ONES, THEN WELCOME PELLEGRINI.

[MGuerreiro 252]

IMPORTANT OUTS

IVANOVIC, TORRES,MIKEL, ROSS,

Why the hell would we want to get rid of Ivanovic? The man is a tank. A solid, very good squad player on considerately low wages causing no problems at all.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I see the problems in our midfield, I just don't see how a Toure style player could be the solution. That is assuming that by that you mean a physical B2B midfielder. For one thing, he does not fit in our current 4-2-3-1. A B2B midfielder, just like Lampard and Ramires, is best employed in a three man midfield because the pivot needs players with more discipline and who get on the ball more often. If you're talking about his physical strength, Toure gives an already physical City midfield an edge, but with players like Mata, Hazard and Oscar, we will never physically dominate oppnents, and we're not looking to do so. We are looking instead to dominate teams interms of position, and a Toure-like player will not help in that because he does not get on the ball enough.

We are obviously not going to sign Toure himself, so again what do you mean by a "Toure style" player? Give me an example, name someone. If you mean someone who does what Toure is doing at City, good luck finding someone.

We need toure style player to make our Middlefield be strong again like in the times of makelele or essien. Our Middlefield is weak, the only thing that good 'bout it is the speed of ramires. mikel should LEAVE.. he literaly can't pass (we need someone to make the long passes like carick) ,shoot or even defense. Another thing is that no one fucking shot from long distances, especially the "second wave" (DM,CM,CB). mikel and ramires don't know how to shoot and we need that player with that killer shot.

Our team is completely different than when we had Maka and Essien, we play a completely different system as well. Toure would have been great next to them back then. No idea how Mikel comes into the equation because if we do get someone like Toure, he would be partnering Mikel in the pivot in the current set-up. Funny how you claim Mikel is not good when we've won so many trophies with him starting and even more laughable that you say he can't pass when he's statistically the best passer in the league! But I don't want to turn this thread into another Mikel discussion.

The theme is these threads seems to be making one-line ridiculous claims about impossible players to sign. How about we add a bit of footballing value and depth to these 'discussions' and talk about some possible signings and why we should get them?
