The Skipper 20,609 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Because as I have said he played as a central player on the left. He didn't run down the left and whip a ball in or dribble past someone in the box and score, he played deeper and more central to support the midfield and allow Luis to overlap. You musn't of seen Koke before, he has been a CM his whole life, plays it for Spain as well, buying him as a winger would be one of the most retarded things I have seen.Thank you. Couldn't believe some would want to buy Koke here to play on the RW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 But if he can play there effectively whats it matter?It's the same as wanting to drop Oscar to play CM... Just because a player executes well his secondary job it doesn't mean he could be deployed in a position where that specific job would be his main duty. You take away their surplus and risk then not being good enough to perform said duty full time... lose-lose situation imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It's essentially (read: exactly) the same thing. It's only really different on FIFA and Football Manager...not really, LW plays further forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 946 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 4-4--2-----------Costa-----------------Hazard------Koke--------------------Oscar --------Cesc-Matic-------How I would accommodate Koke if somehow he was signedThe singing is extremely unrealistic and unlikely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 not really, LW plays further forward.LW can track back. LM can get foward. On paper it looks different but in a match positions aren't static. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'll probably get crucified for this but I do not really see why Koke is worth that inflated buy out clause. Yes he is a decent playmaker who puts in a defensive shift. He can pass and has nice vision and understanding of the game at only 22. But he is no better than Pep and imo can't play any other position in our system than CM or CAM due to his lack of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,586 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 If we can't get pogba this summer then I think this guy should be our number priority. Would complement well Fabregas and take over Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I always dreamed of Modric/Koke-Matic-Pogba midfield. It is prototypical Chelsea and Mou midfield with strength, mobility, creativity, allround game. I would have that midfield over Messi, Ronaldo, Bale xx world class player. But will probably never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulvhedin 526 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 How much do you think Atletico would sell him for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supporter 3,088 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 How much do you think Atletico would sell him for?Hi!I believe that the final price would be £ 44 million because it is the price laying on her clause although Atletico de Madrid could negotiate and accept lower the price between 5 and 10 million pounds.Between £ 34 million and £ 44 million could be the final price.Right now the Altetico Madrid is trying to convince Simeone for him to stay at Atletico de Madrid. I'm sure Atletico de Madrid will not sell Koke, but if they receive a good amount of money safely Koke they will accept the offer in order to sign 3/4 players for next season and convince Simenone.Koke would be perfect.1. A quality player able to work in midfield and generate much football.2. Perfectly compatible with Fabregas, who could give rest.3. He and Diego Costa are understood without requiring eye contact.4. With Koke we could recover our spectacular football from the beginning of the season.5. Is the player more like Xavi Hernandez.Koke would be the perfect signing for us.Regards.

lucio 5,418 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I prefer kovacic to koke or veratti. The midfield also needs another powerful player. But I expect loftus cheek to fulfil that, rather than someone like kondogbia or carvalho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer1257 3,282 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hm,if we can get rid of Oscar and buy him,it would give us more flexibility when we face opponents who park the bus.In the big games ,I still prefer a player like RLC or Imbula,who are physically very strong ,next to Matic because otherwise teams like PSG will have it easy to beat us.Also,I do not think that Fabregas wants to be benched when we play against the big teams.

supporter 3,088 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Sell Oscar, get Koke.Hi!Totally agree with you.Last year it was rumored that PSG was willing to offer big money for Hazard and Oscar. Hazard is totally untouchable but last year PSG was willing to pay £ 40/50 million for Oscar.Even Oscar affirm that these contacts were made.If PSG maintains that offer or one similar could be an ideal Sale for us.Oscar by Koke is the exchange of our future.Regards.
