quickpassnmove 924 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Who else thinks the club should make a move for Schneiderlin? He's not a key player for Utd and I think Chelsea could make him a great offer in terms of salary and more importantly game time.He's not the great CM many would have you believe he was last season but he's still a very good player, mainly because of his defensive abilities. Matic and Schneiderlin would make a great duo in midfield in big away games. Even at home against the big teams I'd play them together. You could use them both in a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 set-up as well.Schneiderlin-Matic would be overkill vs the likes of WHU, Newcastle etc. at home, I'd pick only pick one of them in a game like that. But at least with him in the team you could rotate the two. A much better option than Obi and Ramires.He'll want to be a starter at Euro 2016 so I'd pounce on this opportunity.interesting proposition, but I doubt that ManUtd sell him. should have bought him two years ago IMO.

But I'd take Schneiderlin and Wanyama in the winter if the opportunity was there.And a fullback.Definitely agree. Wanted us to go for Schneiderlin before United went, but we were too infatuated with Matic-Cesc holding that position. It's surprising then, when Mourinho said he wanted a midfielder, that we didn't go for him. Especially when it was fairly obvious he wanted to move.Wanyama is another good player. Kenyan Power! Haha. I do see Arsenal making a move for him in Jan, especially after he bossed their MF today. The Skipper and Blue-in-me-Veins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the big part of the cases They inconvenience each other because take the same places, the same roles.... For example, in the United's pre-season, They proved with Schneiderlin and Carrick together and the french looked uncomfortable and out of place all the time. I don't know, I prefer the pivot couple where One is a pure DM (Matic) and the other is creative midfielder or a Box to box. DYC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got his half or 3/4 of his wish I guess. Van Gaal has no problem dropping him for the big games.Yes, the power. I miss that in this midfield.

bethos1 802 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 With this shit defense, and the main DM being a gangling man, it really pisses me off that most (actually all) are strikers or offensive midfielders. This team need at least two defenders, and another DM.We should've bought another DM and more CB's years ago, I still can't believe how our doesn't see this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Why don't we just call Christiansen, Kalas, Ake, Van Ginkel, Romeu, Pasalic and Bamford back? Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I prefer the pivot couple where One is a pure DM (Matic) and the other is creative midfielder or a Box to box. I agree. But the Jan window isn't the time for long-term signings. In Chelsea's current situation, I think a player like Schneiderlin would come in handy because in every game the midfield zone has become a battle. Cesc isn't good enough to take control of midfield and if you can't outplay your opponent, you have to overpower them. A strong defensive base allowing the attacking players and fullbacks more freedom is our best bet at the moment I think.I prefer a three-man midfield myself. But in a double pivot, I somewhat agree with you. Though Matic is not what you call 'a pure DM' for me, he doesn't suit the role imo. A creative CM to use in a double pivot is so hard to find. Gundogan is completely unrealistic.I thought Bayern's double pivot of Schweinsteiger and Martinez in 12/13 was brilliant. Not the most technically gifted but very powerful.

Cosmin 2,484 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I fuckin love your ava @Cosmin,The purchases we make in January will be major keys to our future success. Bless Up. Thanks, man! I appreciate you! See, I think that bringing more great players is not enough. Getting rid of they would actually be essential for us to go ahead and fight for more success. Notice how I say more. And why shouldn't we try to make Stamford the...LION a little happier? On a serious note, I really think that we should go for Teixeira (he's probably already ours) and Lavezzi (convince him to join us from summer on). Then, we need a decent LB (Coentrao might be pretty cheap) and a good (D)CM. What bothers me is that while big teams like us, United, Liverpool are struggling, a lot of small ones are taking advantage and climbing the league table. That's what makes their players very expensive. It's really difficult to go for someone from Watford, Stoke, Palace or Leicester. I would try finding something in Portugal. Aaaand, of course, try bringing Gundogan, a central defender and Chicharito.

Popular Post! Cosmin 2,484 Posted December 27, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted December 27, 2015 Why do people want to get rid of JT? I mean, ok, he's past his prime, obviously. But he's a legend, for Christ's sake. He really is one of us. He's our own Maldini, Del Piero, Puyol or Scholes. Not Lampard, not Drogba, not Mourinho. John Terry. HE is our symbol. I think letting JT go would be the stupidest thing to do. We need him to retire from us. He's been with Chelsea through good and bad, he is Chelsea. Of course he might get less playing time, as it's normal, considering he's aging. But he is still the most important figure in the squad.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 We're going to sign Alex Teixeira and that's it IMO. What's funny, he would come here straight from vacations after month or so of holidays. If he's going to help us this season ?Outside chance of new striker ... Batshuayi maybe ? But only if Falcao/Remy leaves.Can't see which midfielder we can realistically sign. Biglia and Moutinho are great but will be deemed too old.They don't want you to have Christensen, Kalas, Ake, Van Ginkel, Romeu, Pasalic and Bamford.I fuckin love your ava @Cosmin,The purchases we make in January will be major keys to our future success.

It all started in a music video when he kept saying "Another One". That became a meme and got the ball rolling About three weeks ago, he made this video, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=skY-FKgOIewThen he started snapchatting his daily routine, using all his proverbs and words of wisdom. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f8V4chZGNkEBest thing happening in Pop culture right now.

LAM09 7,051 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I don't see much happening at all. Alex probably coming in and nothing else to shout about. However, I hope I'm proven wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
