Radamel Falcao

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I misread your statement than....

Thought you were referring to cams...

Well if it were CAM's we have a collection of them Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Willian, DeBruyne... If the reason we aren't scoring goals is CAM then I don't know what else can be done to address it.

Falcao is a match winner. We need to grab a clinical WORLD CLASS striker.

Nah, Falcao would be great.

However, a stud cm would be better. Stud cm could provide less legwork for Rambo, Hazard, Oscar, Mata, Schurrle/willian and speed our attack.

IF anyone, we should of went all out for CAVANI.

I really think it has to do with transition speed and passing range in the pivot. We lack a good link both in speed as in passing range and vision. Also: this forces our am's to drop deep, enabling the opponent to organise. Hence: we rely on fast counters, set pieces and/or individual brilliance.

No Falcao will completely (read 'completely') settle this issue.

So who is this stud CM you speak of, the type that will make everything work?

I say this because of seeing him play this much, but Witsel would be a dream as our modern CM. If he is a stud, I leave to the ladies on here.

Good, but not great. I don't see where he will make us that much better going forward, he's more a ball winner than anything.

Witsel won't solve our scoring problems, or lack of creativity. We don't need just 1 player in 1 position, we need to improve the pivot, the striker position and LB imo.

I want to say RB, but we have a RB, a CB is just deputizing there for the time being

Good question....

As of now, I dont think their is any on the market. Mountinho would be good. Cabaye could be good.

I would even take a chance at MVilla as well.

Germany has a few good studs as well.

ANYONE outside of England, lol.

Ow very much wrong. He actually is better building play than destroying or ball winning. His consistency, radius, tenacity and technical qualities are way more than good. We can agree to disagree of course. I just base my opinion because i have seen him play since his pro debut.

So, he's an offensive CM?

This whole time I thought he was a destroyer from the comments that people wrote on this board...When I watch the friendly, I was wondering where Witsel and destroyer had in common?

How would he compare to MVilla, prior to MVILLA becoming a knucklehead.

True. But we have a core problem in pivot, which is pretty crucial when playing 4231. It is the heart of the formation. Our backs worry me as well though (lb as you say). Strikers .... Also, but there you have the coming of Lukaku in the future. If i was to do the triage, i would do a Lb and a pivot player.

Witsel has a 'Kompany' quality to his play. He is often found going forward - almost never losing possesion. This is his best quality tbh.

Cabaye is a decent shout. So with Cabaye you think we have a squad capable of unlocking defenses to the level where Torres, Eto'o and Ba will score tap ins?

If you were to ask me we need two buys, CM someone who provides steel in the centre of the pitch and a match winner.

This talk of a deep lying playmaker being the answer is just what people say because they know we haven't invested much money there (VanGinkel and Ramires really) but to me that's not the key because PLENTY of teams are getting by without one, very few teams are getting by without a match winner.

[Sheva. 5,373]

The question is what kind of midfield does Mourinho want. Something similar to Brazil with Paulinho and Gustavo or like Real Madrid with a DLP and a hard-worker.

Going by how we have been lining up with Lampard and Ramires, it looks like the 2nd and in that case we don't need Witsel. Cabaye or Moutinho can do the job Mourinho wishes Lampard did.
