teignman 441 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I wish we had a tag for player threads like this that are beyond long shots to come to CFC, for numerous reasons, that simply says "Never Going to Happen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thiago is an attacking midfielder, why do we need another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 We should buy every talent then...1.) he is attacking player and cant defend (CAM). We are weak on CM, ST, DM, CB.2.) barca kid through and through. If he impress, return is certain3.) Pay 25mio on player that never had regular football on pro level?4.) Three positions he could play and we already have Oscar, Hazard, Mata, Kdb to fill in.He is great talent but not needed and his barca string is too strong, we should spend 25mio elsewhereHes able to play as a CM too. We need a CM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hes able to play as a CM too. We need a CM!Yes, he can play in that position but saying that how able is he in defence? I don't want him if he can't put in a decent tackel and interception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I dont think he is suitable enough to play in the pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJewel 56 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I rather we give Chalobah and Mceachran a chance than waste money on an attacking midfielder and play him as a make-shift CM. I was watching the football league show, yesterday and Mceachran was awesome, he was intercepting balls and laying perfect through passes, give Josh a year and he'll be starting for Chelsea. Chalobah is another wonderkid who despite his age is currently among the top CM's in the Championship and is getting favourable reviews from manager and fans alike. Chalobah and Mceachran over Alcantara any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dy-lan 142 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Great talent but not needed imo, he plays best when he's attacking, and obviously we dont need another CAM....def dont see him working in the pivot in the epl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddish-Blue 2,513 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Isn't chalobah a defender?Yes..but he's been playing a DM/CM role on-loan at Watford..and he's done fairly well for his age. Maybe he could be a long term option at DM for Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalobah and Mceachran over Alcantara any day!No, he won't. McEachran's gotta go a long way till he can challenge for a starting spot in our team. The gap between the Championship and PL is huge, and despite his talent Josh will firstly have to adapt to playing regular football in the best league, not even talking about putting in top performances constantly.

DH1988 1,350 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 After watching boro this season Josh has another 2 years on loan before he comes back and I think that's a good thing if he can be patient enough as boro, should, be promoted and he can stay there next season in the PL then go to another club the following year or return to us early.I'd say the best thing is that when asked he has made improvements and is one of the first name on boro teamsheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hearing rumours of him being available for a measly 15m this summer. What are we waiting for?He'll come here in an instant too with all the Brazilian and Spanish lads we have at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's better than Gundogan, Modric, Schweinsteiger and co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 He's incredible. If either Xavi or Iniesta didn't exist he'd be worth £40m starting games for Barcelona regularly. It's almost scary how he can go from dictating tempo like an Xavi or Pirlo to running forward and scoring/assisting like Iniesta or Mata. He's a beast.
