Bench Willian and risk seeing him walk demonstratively straight to the tunnel after being subbed?

It's too big 625 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Have a feeling we'll go back in for him in January. Either him or Martial. The problem is, I don't see where Fekir fits in. He isn't a wide player naturally, and isn't a natural striker either. He seems to play in the position behind the striker, right? Where do you guys think he would fit in?

Thor 2,717 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Martial over him for sure. Fits better and is the far more dynamic player. Need pace. Can never have enough of it, particularly in a system like this. mccg and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the first time I watched Fekir I likened him to Shaqiri, a player I regard as offering more flashy looking play than actual end product. When Fekir was linked to us during the transfer window before last I posted to say that I much preferred Malcolm, now of Barca. Whether it's because Chelsea did not have enough belief in Fekir, or because they were worried about his injury record, I can't say I'm disappointed by Aulas's revelation that we were never interested. mccg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still sitting the shadows, crying over the Malcom to Barca transfer. That was a steal. The weirdos who run this club missed a bargain there. mccg, Unionjack, Vesper and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way LPool would have bailed out at last moment. I would rather we go for Talisca (the lower cost option) or Kai Havertz (massive upside but Bayer Leverkusenmay not part with both him and Bailey in same window or January/Summer consecutive ones).

zekinjo 449 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 According to L’ Equipe Chelsea with Bayern Munich are the only two clubs interested in signing Nabil Fekir now. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akgw13 867 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 such an intriguing player, does he have the speed for an aggressive pressing style of play? seems a bit more suited to the center of the park than the wide wings, but i could be wrong. He definitely gives us positional flexibility though, he could play any of the 4 attacking roles (striker, wide, most attacking mid) nice left foot on him.

I think he is almost equally good on CAM and RAM, based on his characteristics. Same as Coutinho (only on LAM), for example. His injuries are much bigger problem...
