mikeholiday 209 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I still recall when I saw on twitter 'pictures of him in London / Stamford Bridge area' and of him 'allegedly playing as Chelsea manager in Football Manager', I couldn't sleep with all the excitement.

magic weeds 446 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 3 top bracket CM players when you play 4-2-3-1... pure disaster waiting to happen. I mean we couldn't keep Mata, Schurrle, De Bruyne, Oscar and Willian in the same squad because all 5 were more than good enough to be regulars but yeah lets not learn from our mistakes.Although Ramires is still a classy player and one of the better MF players in the PL, lets sell him to Juve and sign an up and coming great player who is probably marginally better but not exactly an upgrade on one of Cesc or Matic... yeah man seems like a waste of money. I am sure the club is looking at someone that can fill Matic's boots. A scenario where Matic is suspended and suddenly Newcastle beat us is just not good. We rely heavily on Matic. Mikel is ver bad despite his goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonsFinest 692 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Why do most people think he does something defensively. Is it of his height? Listen to C19, he'll tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,064 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Pogba wouldn't be Matic's replacement, but his partner in the midfield. Push Cesc into AMF, and we're sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Would love to have him. Proper box to box midfielder and he's really young... If it can be done we need to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalobah should have been given a chance when he was at his upmost form a couple seasons ago. He would have only gotten better with better players around him, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogba plays box to box or sometimes as a more advanced midfield player not as a holding midfield player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a footballer first but he can definitely defend when called upon. You put him in a midfield 3 with Cesc and Matic and that is EASILY the best midfield in the world.

He'd be a liability in my eyes, very much like Toure with Fernandinho last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see him being a holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are those who revere Oscar who plays a similar role for us, he gets about 2.5 a game. Pogba is far from poor positionally he is adventurous but that comes with the role of being box to box.

He has a lot to improve on positionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
