MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 TBF i think a lot of people know that, but i don't see how this gets in the way of signing a young midfielder for double pivot, their is loads going on in the french league. Obviously things will have to be taken under consideration, as it's a new country and all sorts, but that doesn't hinder the fact the board are making stupid mistakes, lumbering themselves with Benitez just proves it. It's evident we need a midfielder, and no one is even bothering.With Everton signing a CM from Twente, I wouldn't be surprised if we did sign Fellaini but let's wait for the window to close to draw conclusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's evident we need a midfielder, and no one is even bothering.to be honest, i understand the board's decision here. we made a stupid mistake with loaning essien and selling meireles and then not keeping a single up and coming youngsters in the squad as a back up. even if we dont buy a midfielder right now, we ll end up having MIKEL, RAMBO, KDB, ROMEU, JOSH, ESSIEN for the next season without LAMPS. buying a midfielder seems a neccesity for the moment but in the longer we are set if we look at our options. it was just some really poor decision by the board at the start of this season which is costing us right now.

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 There is a petition created by our supporters regarding FSW, so whoever feels the same way can sign it right here:https://www.change.org/petitions/chelsea-football-club-ensure-that-rafael-benitez-is-not-considered-beyond-his-interim-titleWe all know it probably wont affect anyone or anything but its a nice gesture from the fans who love their club. I've signed it along with over a thousand other people (and its been started only yesterday evening). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 to be honest, i understand the board's decision here. we made a stupid mistake with loaning essien and selling meireles and then not keeping a single up and coming youngsters in the squad as a back up. even if we dont buy a midfielder right now, we ll end up having MIKEL, RAMBO, KDB, ROMEU, JOSH, ESSIEN for the next season without LAMPS. buying a midfielder seems a neccesity for the moment but in the longer we are set if we look at our options. it was just some really poor decision by the board at the start of this season which is costing us right now.McEachran is nowhere near ready now, he should stay at Boro for another season, Mikel is crap, Ramires is a good but not great, KDB we aren't too sure yet, we can't just assume he will convert to a great CM and Essien is finished.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 KDB we aren't too sure yet, we can't just assume he will convert to a great CMSuch a valid point Kojo!Look I'm all for admiring potential we may have in the squad but there's simply too much talk about KDB at the moment like he'll instantly fix the problems we've got. Not that I'm against giving the kid a chance, but he's having a good season right now, interrupting that will do no-one good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel , crap or not, is a CHELSEA player and a champions league winning one.plus i dont think our board is looking to remove him from the squad any time soon. rambo is like u said and oriol is there for rotation. i agree with u on josh and bison. but that is still 4 players for the pivot plus luiz to fill in. in an ideal world we would have a mid of lamp,pirlo, xavi,iniesta to choose from.

Still gonna be a problem then though maybe one lesser. No big name managers available out there at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont have anyone ready yet. Piazon, Lukaku, KDB, Josh, Chalobah, Bruma, etc. No one is ready and no one will solve our problems.Recalling any of them will only retard their development...I would retain Lukaku and KDB for next season (so they get 10-15 games), but not now!
