Pizy 18,948 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 He's a nice player for sure but I feel like our big midfield buy should be a super talented younger guy with loads of potential to improve even further. We already have a central midfielder nearing 30 in Cesc who will likely only decline from here on. Nainggolan isn't there yet but is getting to that age as well and has probably peaked. Don't get me wrong, I'd have him here, but I personally still have dreams of Simeone coming and bringing Koké with him. Probably unrealistic but that's the sort of player I want. Someone who's 24-25 and still has their best years in front of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Drogba 2,000 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 He is the kind of player both Conte and Simeone would like to have in their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4-3-3 with him, Cesc and Matic/Ruben would be elite. He barely scores and has like 12 assists in six years since he's been playing in Serie A. It is more than 200 official matches so this makes it one assist at every 15-16 games. Knows only how to run & tackle and picks up yellow cards for fun. Now explain me why would he be any different from Ramires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a defensive midfielder his job is not to score his job is to defend and he is more tehnical than Matic and much faster with the ball than Matic.

The Mak 4,459 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'd take him in a heartbeat. 3 hours ago, petre.ispirescu said: He barely scores and has like 12 assists in six years since he's been playing in Serie A.

Now explain me why would he be any different from Ramires? His job is not to score or assist, he is a defensive midfielder. His job is to make his presence felt, to disrupt play - getting yellow cards are mandatory. And he is far more composed on the ball than Ramires. Getting players like him in a step in the right direction. Our midfield right now is completely toothless. We just let teams with any decent midfield run the show. Or do you want to continue with passengers like Mikel and Fabregas who do fuck all in big games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does pick up yellow cards regularly, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The real question is: would you like him alongside Matić, with Fabregas too, in 4-3-3? Or 4-2-3-1 with Fabregas - Radja at pivot? In case of 4-3-3 Matić-Radja-Fabregas, YES, it will be important for him to add some goals/assists. Why? We already have Matić who REALLY is defensive midfielder (not b2b like Radja) and who adds close to nothing upfront. Matić - Radja would be something like Essien - Ballack. But Ballack is whole other dimension compared to Matić in terms of scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM8 18 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The best Roma player as Manolas. Since joining in red yellow I can't remember a wrong match from Radja, but.. he's a real asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel has done nothing of note since. Oh wait, there was that one game a few weeks ago...and he scored a goal last week to make up for his initial fuck up. Yeah, I take it back, forget what I said.

How about 2009? He was outstanding in boths legs vs Barcelona, specially in our home game. Or how about the away game in Madrid in 2013? You don't need to play the ignorant here. Just because we haven't had many big games lately or because he wasn't used in some games doesnt mean he hasn't shown that he is reliable when played.

J.F. 1,484 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 So, those are guys that Conte want to sign when he become our new manager. Just imagine that we sign Vidal, Nainggolan and Pogba.
