BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I liked him a lot when he was at Lyon and rated him highly, but as the previous poster has stated, Pjanic is incredibly similar in his style to Kevin de Bruyne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 We need someone like him or Modric if we are going to persist with 4-2-3-1 and want to challenge for trophies next season. But as the users above have mentioned, we owe KDB at least a season to prove that we don't need to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Well right now I'd take KDB over any of our midfield three, Lampard included. In the midfield system we play, whether we have a positive or a negative pivot-point (ie. one holding player with one advanced, or just simply two sat back), you need an disciplined defensive-minded player (Mikel), an energetic, dynamic midfielder (Ramires, Essien) in the box-to-box function, and then an advanced attacking player who can either operate essentially as a false number 9 or as a playmaker (Mata). However, for the sake of variety, you need to have the option to throw in that second playmaker (which we can; Oscar, Benayoun, etc.), or that second engine-room player. With de Bruyne, you can slot him into either of the two more-advanced positions, or even play him where Hazard operates on either wing. His versatility, his dynamism and his stamina make him a perfect fit. If he doesn't get at least 30 starts next season, there is no justice. We don't need to blow £15 on Pjanic when we have this little gem, who can easily contribute 30 goals (in goals and assists) a season on a regular basis.

Jase 43,479 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 As much as Pjanic has played in CM in recent years, still think his best position is at CAM. Would love it if we get him but we do have quite a few No.10s already, sadly.Oh myhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfcoR2RpJfoTypical classy free kick from Pjanic.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yes Benat would be another good option but I still think we should KDB a chance before we splash out 20m or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacika 188 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I hate 4-2-3-1...... I would love to back at 4-3-3 with Mikel DM, and two CMs. Pjanic would be great addition in CM position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingB 9 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I would love the 4-3-3, KDB and Ramires as CMs and Mikel as DM, Mata and hazard on the wing and maybe play a false 9 with Oscar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beepu 1,714 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I think we should buy all the no.10's~! Pjanic, Isco, etc and just overwhelms the opposition with creativity and flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Chaz 3 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Bosnian websites claims Chelsea and Roma in talks over Pjanic. I'll link the original website, you can use google translate. No quotes from anyone though but doesn't hurt to share this. http://www.sport.ba/fudbal/roma-i-chelsea-pocinju-pregovore-oko-pjanica/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behemoth 266 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Is 'at bosnian rag reliable?Not really.I wouldn't believe these Bosnian outlets too much. They'll see scouts from a team at a player's match and immediately they're "in talks."Pjanic has been inconsistent lately because of a bum ankle he suffered about a month back.

Behemoth 266 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 To be honest, I dont want Pjanic here. Not for the reason you might think. I know what he's capable of, and what kind of a player he is. He's magic, its just that a whole flood of Bosnian bandwagon fans will flood the site like they did with the Bluemoon forum with Dzeko. Forget that. I dont need them spitting on Chelsea because Pjanic sat a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Sign him up. Convert him into a deeper midfield player and we'll be set for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Sign him up. Convert him into a deeper midfield player and we'll be set for a long time. Still think that Oscar or KDB can be that DLP. We've already seen Oscar's knack for defending/tracking back and KDB has an array of passing,, all in all I just dont think that Pjanic can fit into this team. Still a great talent though.
