Koke

[chelseafc9010 224]

But if he can play there effectively whats it matter?

Because for one we dont use a central left or right midfielder. For two he is way better in the CM position, why would we buy such a promising classy player to play him out of position. And three, why not buy an actual winger?

But if he has played on the wing for the last 2 years, and Atletico has been super successful how do you know he is way better at CM?

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.

Fair enough

[Spike 12,049]

He played/ plays left midfielder. Not left winger / left attacking midfield. A position we never have.

I bet he could play any midfield role for us. I see no obvious weakness in him

It's essentially (read: exactly) the same thing. It's only really different on FIFA and Football Manager...

Thank you. Couldn't believe some would want to buy Koke here to play on the RW...

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

not really, LW plays further forward.

How I would accommodate Koke if somehow he was signed

The singing is extremely unrealistic and unlikely though

LW can track back. LM can get foward. On paper it looks different but in a match positions aren't static.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

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.

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.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

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.

[illmatic 901]

This guy likes me so much. Has a great combination of Physical/Creativity and is a guy with character, with eggs, that put the face in big matches.

Sell Oscar, get Koke.
