Dzagoev is a CAM, not a winger.

[Pizy 18,852]

Just scored a great header.

Great goal vs Poland Also Romans at the game Obviously to watch his country Russia but maybe he might be getting a first hand look at Dzagoev

Lot of clubs will chase him now. Another one we "should've" nabbed before these games.

[Jype 6,398]

Sign him up Roman!

Unfortunately not in the position we need. But looks great.

My thoughts exactly...

[Jase 43,479]

Even if we get him, where are we going to play him? He is a CAM and we already well stocked in that area.

[M0rb1D4S 84]

Maybe he scored nice goal against Poland, but he was almost invisible in first half..

[Jype 6,398]

Not necessarily. Contract running out soon so he couldn't be that much overpriced only for performing well at the Euros, could he? Also if it's true he's a Chelsea fan I'm pretty sure he would choose us over another top club.

Anyone know if he can play CM too? So far I've seen him play in a free role behind the striker and on the wings so seems quite versatile to me. Maybe he isn't exactly what we need most at the moment but could be too good an opportunity to turn down if he's available for peanuts and willing to come.

As far I see, he is winger. Involves lot in attack, fights for ball and is classic winger who likes to pass more than dribble.

I dont see why you keep saying he is not fit to our formation, while he is winger and we need winger. He certainly is not CM or CAM because he is not playmaker type (Zenit trio are CMs for Russia), but runs on wings and then goes to penalty area, trying to score or pass. I like about him that he makes double passes and creates clear chance (something that him and Mata would do great), and not so much dribbling play (ala Hazard).

Reasons:

Cheaper than Hulk (15-20mio or free)

Plays for CSKA (Abramovich is in good relations with this club)

Prefers wing play with passing

Knows how to score

IS A CHELSEA FAN

only 21 years old

RAM?

kinda like this

---------------Torres

Hazard-----Mata-------Dzagoev

kinda similar to Dortmund.

not saying we should buy him, but it is very possible to make room for him.

He would then still be starting in the wide area, won't he? What we need now is a proper right sided winger, one who is comfortable playing there and Dzagoev is not that.

^^

Agreed. We've had enough converted wingers over the last few years. But we haven't had a proper natural winger since Robben!
