@Choulo19: Unless we buy another CM/CDM, this Luiz in midfield experiment will continue. No sane manager will start John Obi Mikel ahead of him. I guess you will just have to deal with it.

I think Romeo may get some games for the DM.....

With our current team, I would hope Romeo, Rambo/Oscar to start next season.

That's something i really "hate" about us. We never do any 'deals'. We could of bought vertonghen and Dembele for 24? M pound. Everyone who has seen them play before going to the spurs knew they are (almost) on a world class level. With those 2 signings we would be playing for the titel in my opinion.

Well, we can have better in the next transfer window I think.

Disagree. Verthongen is good on the ball but I'm not a fan of his defensive qualities.

A bit late in response but Vertonghen in hugely over rated, his goal scoring covers up some glaring defensive frailties. Dembele tho i do agree with.

Exactly.

It is like the Vermaelen situation all over again.

A defender comes from Ajax to a top level club in England, scores a few goals and suddenly everyone is raving about him.

Vermaelen was also in the team of the year in his first season. We all know how that has turned out.

What some people need to realize is that the reason Luiz is sometimes played as DM isnt because he's not a good CB, it's because he is so much better than our DMs as DM. Which is rather pathetic. Just shows how bad we need a new player there.

TBH, I think Vertonghen has had a fantastic season. He made couple of errors earlier in the season but apart from his attacking instincts, some of his defensive abilities have been fantastic. I remember watching the game against City and Vertonghen did not give their strikers a sniff. Also in the 2-1 win to Arsenal earlier in the season he was my MOTM for sure. Was a dominating presence. Take into fact that he has been asked to do jobs from his normal position, he has done very well and also he was voted POTM in April IIRC.

Was just gonna post that :), it insinuates we'd go after Varane, I'd love to have him here! But no way do I want David Luiz gone. Nor do I think he'll leave, just more DM rubbish probably.

The funny thing about that is first they said Barcelona could go after Vermaelan and then in their picture caption, they say we want him. Typical rubbish from Daily Fail.
