volfan89 97 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I could see Oscar falling back if we plan on starting one of Schurrle or KDB. There are few options, Oscar-Lamps, Essian-Ramires, Oscar Mikel, Van Ginkle-Ramires. That should be plenty enough to work. Throw in Mikel as well and we're set.

Heartbeat 21 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Rooney was apparently our only transfer target. No one will ever understand Mourinho, let him work his magic and we will flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 MVG-Ramires is sort of like Matuidi-Verratti in PSG.... very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Ramires-MVG, thats it. I will approve that - if that's Mou's idea. It has potential.Anything with Mikel. Lampard and Essien as first choices - and i will be pissed. MVG??? what has this kid done to prove he even deserves a spit on the bench?? No way is he gonna start out the season above anyone in that midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Maybe Mou plans MvG as a DLP. He is still young and mouldable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is he gonna start out the season above anyone in that midfield.He's already have a better chance than players we know arent fit to that system right now - Lampard, Mikel and Essien, with all the respect for them.

Blue Armour 4,449 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 If that's true Mikel will have a prominent role next season. Looks like Mourinho has faith in our midfield. Our midfield isn't bad, but adding De Rossi would definitely take it to the next level. Maybe they have a lot of faith in MVG. I'm okay with it to be honest if they want to give Marco more chances.If its true..Mikel damn well better step up his game. Hopefully he plays alongside someone who is capable of dictating the flow of the game, or our midfield is going to be pegged back, and we'll be experiencing the same problems from last season.

Heisenberg 1,824 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Lampard is a one of a kind.We'll simply never ever have some one close to his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg 1,824 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It is naive from José to think he could be the perfect Robin Hood and give strength to our midfield & bring success again.He is a truly great motivator and knows how to use the maximum of his players but there are limits, and our DM (Mikel, Essien) are not world class and no near good to what we had before.I think his super-confidence at times will affect his judgement, he knows our midfield, and especially the double pivot or call it like you want, is weak.

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Seriously, going into a season with no world class midfielders (time's up Bison) is a gamble we don't wanna take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 We don't want to do pretty well, we want to be the best. We need to try and buy the best players for each position, it's as simple as that. I know it's probably not the easiest thing to do but everyone has a price and i know we have the adequate funds. Wish we'd just things done, we need someone in that CM position.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Not a chance. Personally, I'd start Mikel, Lampard, Ramires and Van Ginkel over Essien.Essien used to be my favourite player as well but people are just going overboard if they're expecting Essien to be our number 1 DM. What are you basing that on exactly? His games at DM at Madrid or? Because at Madrid his best performances came at RB, not at DM. At DM he was more oft than not sub standard.Have no idea why people are getting so excited over Essien. Seems to be because he had a decent game against a sub standard team, which is very, very illogical IMO.I think Mikel will surprise a lot on here and start lots next season personally. Mikel was always Jose's experiment.To clarify I think that's what Jose will do. Just based on the fact he is familiar with him. At Madrid there was lots of Competition in there. But realistically here, I can only see it being him or Mikel in one of those spots as a rambl/lamps partnership won't be solid defensively. I still think essien can do a job in there. But obviously so can mikel. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severinb 309 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Dont get why mou wants rooney so bad and not a midfielder! I think a class DM is way more important than rooney we have lukaku who can score 15-20 goals torres can get a couple and ba can get 10 goals. Only chance i can see essien doing the job is if a miracle happens or he has got himself a brand new pair of knees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
