Jase 43,479 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Am continue to be flabbergasted by Fabregas (excuse the near-pun there ). Offers nothing in attack these days and is absolutely useless in defensive situations. How can Conte tolerate the fact that he just jogs back every single time when we have to defend? Doesn't even look bothered to put in the effort to intercept, block! mccg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy with a good save to bail us out.I honestly prefer the midfield we ended the game with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 First name on the sheet that has to be upgraded. Forget fullbacks, striker, wingers,...we need new damn good playmaker. Its the case of last 3 years and hopefuly we adress it this summer. Midfield is where everything sticks together and if we had capable playmaker next to Kante, I bet we will be twice the team next year even with same formation and coach. mccg and Unionjack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfield is where everything sticks together and if we had capable playmaker next to Kante, I bet we will be twice the team next year even with same formation and coach. I couldn't agree more mate. I really do love Cescy and had a big man crush on him when he was a Gooner but we need to play him in a 3 man CM to give him the time and space he now needs to do his magic - letting him go forward or back into the deep pocket. We have been crying out for a Lamps replacement ever since Shitty conned us into thinking he was going straight to the US. We have hardly any creativity and a priority must be to give Kante a real B to B partner and preferably one who can donate some goals and assists. But we all know those players are very few and far between and getting one to come to us will be one fucckin great big challenge (Specially for OUR transfer team!!!) But who knows eh! Mustn't be down before we find out just who the feck our manager will be! Maybe THATS our priority? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know hes been Ok but its a different type of league there. Its all going to depend on whatever manager we get. And it SEEMS if you listen to the media that Roman has his heart set on Bale who I really donr want here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the Bale that left Tottenham to go to Madrid i'd snap your hands off to take him but this injury prone out of form Bale is a no go for me as well - we need a proper CF - unpopular view but someone doing very well in France and contract expires in June - Mario Balotelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Proper play maker to replace Cesc is a very talented and quality young guy named Carlos Soler...i don't want seri except if the board can swallow their pride and cut their loss on bakayoko then we might replace him with Seri...

Its either we are buying lads needing regular time off thru long standing injuries (or made of glass), or theyre in their twilight years and nowhere near the top of their game or theyre wannabes that are fyll of hype and 'potential'. We have never been 'THAT' team top players are dying to play for so we either get in really fast for transfer EG Costa,Kante,Cescy or we dig deep and bribe the sods to come to us! I'm all up for having a whipround to bribe someones agent!!  Not sure about Balotelli. Not seen his French games but still think of him as a twat! But have read hes come back to some form. bluesman2610 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 He’s very finished unfortunately. Seems to get slower and slower every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 There are many options we could easily target if we want young player, but we would need to open wallet. From Savic, Paredes, Soler, Weigl, Ndombele, Aouar,... Soler or Aouar, maybe Paredes would be my choices if we go strictly for playmaker replacement. But considering that is very demanding and responsible role, young player is out of question. So, are there any world class established playmakers available? Seri might be solution for a while, but he has some condition with feet in cold environments and he prefers sunny spain over england. Maybe we could poach Kovacic from Real, but our board would have to pull a miracle there, small odds. Another option would be Jorginho, but apparently he is close to City ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
