I think we'll get Fellaini but we also still have a certain player called Michael Essien. We certainly have options there as has been stated above. I'd rather see Luiz and Ramires there and have JT and Ivanovic as CB's. That's my first choice all day. Mikel is also getting better, was great at Old Trafford in all fairness. We have great options everywhere.

Essien has been nothing but below average at Madrid when playing CDM. He actually performed well when he was deployed at RB by Mourinho

Which team wouldn't want Mata and Hazard - Both top, top quality players that would enhance any team in the world.

Flip side is say Jose does leave Real, who might be tempted to leave with him. It wouldn't be like at Porto when he left there for us as Real Madrid have far more allure, not to mention the top money they earn there. However one or two of the non-Spanosh players might leave. I'd take Di Maria in a heartbeat, there are some aspects of his game that annoy/irritate but he's like Robben was at Robben's prime but pacier with more goals.

Di Maria at Chelsea? god i hope that doesn't happen, i hate that prick. He is so fucking brainless i cannot stand him.

Yet Maria starts for Real Madrid and probably the best attacking team in the world (Argentina).

So???

Did i specifically say anything about his quality? no

Angel Di Maria is a very good player, and undoubtedly an important player for Madrid and Argentina(he plays more like a CM for Argentina btw). He actually adds a lot to a team and it makes it hard to leave him out the lineup.

He is extremely talented, but he is a headless chicken and if he actually had a brain and looked up while dribbling he would be world class. Although one thing i will say in his defense is it i figure he would make better decision making if he played on the left since his biggest weakness is his use of right foot or lack of it should i say.

Looking past the brainless part of his game, i further despise the guy who shamelessly dives all over the pitch.

After years of being frustrated by Malouda and Kalou decision making, i absolutely do not want to go back to those days.

But anyway Di maria to Chelsea is not going to happen unless we part with one of Oscar, Mata, and Hazard since he wouldn't want to be a backup to them. But with mourinho at charge it is unfortunately possible.

I agree with the diving part, but Chelsea has quite a few number of players that were similar, if not worse divers themselves...

Also, if Di Maria came here, he would start on the wing... Period (Granted our formation stay the same).

When Sahin is on top, he is world beater. He was great today two goals and assist. He is the perfect CM who has it all, but unfortunely he only plays well in Dortmund.

He's a class act . He had a tough time with liverpool but I think he was played more out of position there .

Formation is the ISSUE ;)

Get rid of 4-2-3-1 and we have no pivot issues!!!

Hate this system and our absolute over reliance on it

Buy x,y and z to fix it... How about we use the players we have and find a formation that WORKS for our team!!!

Just my 2 cents...

Yeah exactly, we are sticking hard to 4-2-3-1 when we have no adequate players for the double pivot. Pre season is a great time to try out different tactics and formations to suit our current players.

After watching some incredible performance (at the start of the season and also recently) I am not convinced we have some recurring problem in some part of the pitch. I tend to believe most of the poor performances are due to some of the pressure the players were put and probably some lack of character has been exposed here and there. Also you can add some individual defensive slip ups that are almost always punished by the opposition.
