Gianelli Imbula

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I dont get what exactly is he? He isnt holding CM or DM because he cant defend and position well. He isnt creative enough to be realy efficient in attack. He looks like b2b, but we play with Cesc, Oscar and Matic. I doubt he could get into first 11.

And if we target b2b, Pogba should be the man.

imbula would be the perfect replacment for mikel sign him up

Chelsea's senior scout Guy Hillion said: "I have seen Imbula often. As soon as he gets the ball he is able to accelerate and break through the lines.

If he would replace anyone, it would be Ramires, not Mikel.

Ramires doesn't need replacing.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Ramires doesn't need replacing.

I didnt say he needs it, but if we buy Imbula for some reason, I think he would take Ramires role...

If the guy moves, he'll probably want to be starting every week. not sure if Chelsea can offer him that.

According to his father,Chelsea wanted to sign him,but Chelsea wanted to loan him out for 5 years and that was the reason,why he did not join us.

Great player.I watched him in a under 19(???) tournament and he was just brilliant.Good vision,great dribbling,good passes,great stamina and he was good,when he had to defend.He wans´t that great in defending in Ligue 1,but he has improved and if he gains maybe 5 kg of muscles,he will be the new Yaya Toure.

I would not sign him because we have RLC and when it comes to talent,I do not see that much differences between them.Imbula is the better dribbler,but RLC is better at defending,but let´s be honest.If Chelsea wanted to loan ot Imbula for 5 seasons,RLC will be loaned out for at least 3 seasons.Even if he gets better and better,Chelsea will sign Pogba or another player,so RLC will not get his fair chance.That is Chelsea!

It is not always about talent when it comes to make it in the Chelsea starting line.KDB destroyed the Bundesliga before he came to us and Chelsea did not give him a fair chance,even though the talent was there.Now,KDB started to destroy the Bundesliga again...

Smart dad. I would want stability for my son as well.

He doesnt say "Chelsea wanted to loan him out for 5 years"... who does that? probably the contract was for 5 years and Cheslea told him they would like to loan him first season, and maybe more.

I think That Imbula's father exaggerating too. I'm sure Chelsea wanted to do with Imbula just as we did with Courtois. That does not take away the freedom of a player in any case.

But the fact is that two months ago the press talk about Imbula as a signing for our team. I think Imbula is a great player and, considering that he could play with us the Champions, his signing could be very interesting for us.

He is strong, has a lot of tactical intelligence, can read the game well to choose the plays in which he can get to attack, and his defensive ability is very good, and Imbula recover much balls in every game. He is a very interesting player.

He is a box to box which would fit perfectly with Matic. Would be a very intelligent signing.

[DH1988 1,346]

Interesting.. Very interesting.

January signing?

[supporter 3,088]

I think Imbula is exactly what we need now. Mikel is horrible, and Ramires is always injured or out of shape physically.

He is a central midfielder, who can play both defensive midfielder and as a means offensive center. It is a Box to Box perfect for us because he knows also defend with a spectacular performance.

Marseille wants for him 30 million, and I'd rather pay 30 million (pounds) per Imbula than pay 30 million by Juan Cuadrado.

I think his move should be a priority for us.

I leave some videos of Imbula.

1. Imbula Vs Montpellier 14-15.

2. Imbula Vs Toulouse 14-15.

3. Imbula Vs Benfica 14 15.

I hope your comments.

Regards to all.

We need some balls. Where was last time when single player (not starter) carried us through the game when rest was shit by scoring goal or two? Our bench is painfuly passive, I miss young blood who would fight 90 mins in wish to show themself and tell coach; Im good enough. And its not just youth. Other players included who sit on bench. Instead everyone is so passive with no impact at all. Sure you have off games, but we realy lack some individuals who would carry us through whole game with their brilliance, even if its just for that game. One game Ramires, other game Remy etc. But them apart from scoring here and there put average performances all the time.

Kalou had more impact in certain games than whole our bench this and last season.

[dimmas 130]

Very interesting player, indeed

Stamina, energy and pace of ramires exactly what we really lacking and missed for big games or against opposition midfield who can press our midfiled

With trio oscar, matic, fabregas we really slow and incapbale to doing well against good and dynamic midfield,

very poor and also very important aspect, why we struggle to play good football, beside what we can do only sit back

Against city last night really remind me again, with fabregas we probably didnt doing really better. Because when we face good midfield, we already saw so many times, even with fab our midfield often look slow and very average.

Ramires playing against untired midfiled, only energy what he can give to us, beside that. What ramires lacking of is really exposed

Pace and energy of ramires with better technical and passing range is ABSOLUTELY what we currently need. Imbula would be that man
