Right-back Ramires?

[capriccioso 2,545]

Who cares about youngsters when u can buy the best players. :dance:

Yes, never mind that world class players are in short supply and Roman has ploughed vast sums of money into youth development.

[RamiCFC9 258]

We play tactics and formations that serve our old player and not the youth, the problem is alot more complicated then some think ..Its not only overhauling the A-team the club should be made to work together from the bottom to the top, SO IN PEP I TRUST to do that.We need to make that step forward from being mercenary team who buys players at their peak, to BIG club where everything is focused on one cause and PEP is the right boy to do that.

Yeah, I know what you are talking about. Napoli plays with the latter formation. In that case, the formation becomes 3-4-3. Maybe the widemen of that 4, will be occupied by wingbacks. But selecting the CMs here are a different ask too. Because their roles will be different than that of the Double pivot.

but since Lampard and Mikel are not natural defensive midfielders although they've done a remarkable job at that position,I can see them adapt to a 3 4 3 but still I think changing the whole formation just so that Ramires and Hulk can play together could be naive.

Unfortunately Ramires' passing ability leaves a lot to be desired, thus the only logical position would be right midfield... and if we buy Hulk, then Last season's Players Player of The Year might end up warming the bench or used in a rotation system.

Surely rotation is the only policy. When you have a big squad you can do it. Like playing Ramires at the right back (maybe this topic has been discussed?) against teams playing with low block against us.

at least it seems the new coach will have options ,,,not Hobson's choice

Well I think, I want to see Torres starting for the first 3 matches. If he doesn't score (or appropriately he doesn't show the glimpses) I will drop him to the bench, with Ramires starting at the right flank. Hulk upfront.

You can start it, with not buying another right-back. Hutchinson will be a back-up and its time to promote Kane. Sell Malouda, Bertrand will play as a wing-back. But we need a stable manager, to see our youths flourishing, first.

Disgraceful! disgraceful! Utterly disgraceful. Is this the way how he loves the club? Shame. If this is true, I will hate him for sure. Shame.

[zolayes 14,489]

DISGRACEFUL he is not supposed to be HONEST

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Can't blame Lukaku...

MC \ DR \ some sort of DMR

Mikel must not be in the starting lineup. Our defensive play in the CL created an illusion that he is worthwhile,

which he is not. You can't forget all his defensive mistakes when we play good football.

And Romeu is turning to be a little "easygoing". We need a pitbull-that-can-pass DM to cover up for Ramires and the rest

[ChelsPrad2000 10]

Can't blame, but he can't say like that against the club. Sorry.

Didn't get that, mate. Can you explain it? Sorry for being a nutter here. lol
