BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The media knows that we are in for a defensive midfielder so they will link us with all the top possible options. The fact that Lampard and Luiz (who often played midfield for us) have left only intensifies this rumour so we shouldn't get excited on one rumour only.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Chelsea have also considered a move for Atletico Madrid's Spanish international Koke following the departure of Lampard. (Telegraph) #CFC This is really old news pal, before we signed Fabregas even. Koke's now signed a new 5 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drog.ba 239 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Should be our no.1 target if the buyout is true, midfield trio of him, Fabregas and Matic would dominate; plus Costa would benefit. Let one of Schrulle/Salah go, then we have some competition for the attacking midfield roles.We'd also finally have someone good at set pieces.

Nike 373 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Wouldn't Koke replace Cesc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapkun 668 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Wouldn't Koke replace Cesc?He would.Jose mentionned we had targets in mind for that position, so I'm assuming we tried to sign him before Cesc. Too bad he signed that new contract, although he was more likely to join Barca than us if he were to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Wouldn't Koke replace Cesc?It'd be Koke, and Cesc fighting for a spot next to Matic. And Oscar and Cesc fighting for the #10 position. Cesc has most to lose obv is we sign Koke. I'm a big fan of Koke, would love him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Wouldn't Koke replace Cesc?Yea. Which is exactly why we don't need him. Amazong player, but he's staying put for a while at Atletico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Lol. We just signed Cesc and people already talk about his replacement.Not to mention, Oscar just signed extension. If we sign another midfielder, it will be someone like Pogba IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Play Koke with Matic and move fabregas forward. Oscar and Willian can fight it out for the RW spot.Moreover competition is always a good thing. for one, it will help keep Fabregas on his toes and motivate him to step up in big games. right now he knows he's undroppable and untouchable regardless of how poorly he plays.

lucio 5,418 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Idk exactly what formation atletico operate , but koke usually plays wide , rather than central.

Not sure where he would slot in here, would be an enormous asset regardlesspretty much a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-4-1-1.last season it was a 4-4-1-1 costavillakoke tiago gabi turan this season they have changed just a little bit cos of a lack of a 2nd striker (usually played by either of garcia or greizemann)so you are right in saying that he operates on the wing for ATM. dont think we need him to be honest. definition of overkill.

OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Lol. We just signed Cesc and people already talk about his replacement.Not to mention, Oscar just signed extension.If we sign another midfielder, it will be someone like Pogba IMO.Still don't see why people are commenting for us to sign Pogba? Wheres he gonna play? He isn't going to play anywhere if Matic and Cesc are both fit its as simple as that. Hes too good to sit on the bench as well and quite frankly he wouldn't come here to do so.
