Guys, ¿How do you see this option to the midfield?.


For me this men would be a great signing for 2 or 3 years. This guy is a beast, He can offer us physic and quality on the middle, and another important things, EXPERIENCE AND CHARACTER (I missed that this season) for the big games, He can be a leader on the team, He is of the type of players that boost a team to win.

He finish his contract with Bayern in 2016 and I'm not sure that with Guardiola as trainer, he wants to renovate. I Think that he would not be so expensive and surely, he will want to come here (In the case of leave Bayern).

I don't want Mr. FC Bayern Munich here. Apart from his injury record, his abilites have really regressed.
Please take a look at his style of play against Barcelona. From my point of view he looked passed it, he couldn't create anything
and wasn't able to cope with the speed anymore. Moreover his decision making was abysmal;
before the last goal from neymar why did such an experienced and decorated player run the risk of a counter attack and throw in such an imprecise crossing?
After the mistake has happened, he was dispossessed by Messi and the disaster took its course...
Schweinsteiger has lost his stamina and thats a pretty bad thing for the Premier-League, where the speed is still high.

I agree that Chelsea desperately needs another engine in midfield, but i prefer a player who hasn't hit his peak yet.
Of course these players are quite expensive (Koke/Verratti/Pogba/Kondogbia). Maybe Jose gives Loftus-Cheek a fair chance next season.
No matter what happens, i trust Jose!

I never got why this fairly average player always gets so much praise outside Germany. He has always been a passenger with the world cup final being the exception. He started as a winger but when people realised he was far too slow and technically weak to play there they put him in the middle to play As a number 10. But soon it became evident that he could not score or assist to save his life, so they put him into DM but his defensive statistics were just as bad. So they turned him into a sort of defensive no 8 with 0 creativity and almost no output. By far his best position. Emphasises his few strengths (Strategic mind, good reaction, immense work rate and stamina, leadership, OK technique and passing) and covers up his weaknesses (physically weak, slow AF, ineffective in attack, weak tackling, no leap, immobile, ponderous). Also he is also injury prone and always out of form.

Don't get me wrong. Personally I like him. He is a decent bloke. A silent leader. Matured from a choker to a winner just in time to make the game of his life in the WC final by surpassing his own narrow limitations. Now at 30 he is considered past his best already and should not be more than a squad player for any top club. And rightly so. He always considered himself to be a poor man's Lampard cos he always tried to emulate his style but never got it right. At close to 31 he will start next season on the bench playing his usual bit part role he has played for 10 years in a rapidly declining Bayern team. At 31 in 2009/10, Lamps started 58 matches for club&country, scoring 36 goals and assisting 24.

Fabregas has not managed to succeed him here, so Schweinsteiger would not even a new Ballack. As a squad player he would have been an option because of his tactical abilities, work rate and experience but IMO RLC can easily be better than Schweinsteiger ever was if only he works half as hard as basti did.
