Tolisso - Bakayoko might even be a better fit in the 343 system. Bold claim, not one i entirely agree with cause Kante has been immense but these are the type of signing we should be targeting! we need competition for every spot! Competition breeds success.

It's too big 625 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I think Baker should come in to replace Loftus-Cheek tbh. Lewis Baker is a very good player, and I think Conte could really improve his game even more. If we buy this guy, keep Matic, we'll have Kante and Chalobah too, oh and Fabregas. I think that's enough strength in depth. We will see what happens though, but Conte seems to want a CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have high hopes for Baker in the fabregas creator role, he can ping them in from distance as well. I think the writing is on the wall with Matic and if competition comes in he won't be a trooper the way Fabregas was. Ideally for me its Kante/Bakayoko/Tolisso/Chalobah in the B2B roles and Fabregas/Lew Baker for the creator Mid roles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I took some time, to watch a few match highlights of this Tolisso guy. He seems to be a very tidy player. like a box-to-box mikel. Not very physical. neither big, nor fast to strong, but with decent aerial ability for someone so small. He is a very technical, a decent playmaker, intelligent passing even though he could work on his precision. Upgrade on Matic for everything except height. Also he does not seem like a particularly avid tackler. I am a bit worried over his size and physicality. We already got one tiny player in the middle in Kante. I am a fan of having at least one big man in midfield to not get physically dominated like we did by Wanyama, Dembele and even Xhaka this season. Someone who has the physicality, the intelligen, the skill, can provide goals and assists. Like a prime Ballack, Vieira or Lampard that would be perfect. I always hoped RLC could be that player but he probably will never be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is competent but nothing too special. There are enough options of his quality out there. I am confident Antonio and the board will pick the right one.

Last Sicarius 610 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Well if Lyon wants Zouma/Traore we should force Tolisso and Laca from them. Also If MatiC gonna leave its gonna be good to sign Bakayoko. After it we must focus on RW and LD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That formation suited Juve but not our current team Our best player is winger and I don't think it's the smartest move to force him play out of position ... Juventus were really powerful in midfielder so they had to put 3 midfielders in their starting eleven, on the other side they didn't have any proper quality winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[L’Équipe] If Chelsea are frustrated dealing with Monaco, then there's no chance that they are going to enjoy doing business with Lyon president. The guy is known hard negotiator which with Chelsea inability to close any deal means trouble which probably turns to no deal. Just saying.
