Wishlist Miralem Pjanic

[BlueLion. 21,491]

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.

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.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

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.

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.

Typical classy free kick from Pjanic.

Yes Benat would be another good option but I still think we should KDB a chance before we splash out 20m or so.

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.

[KingB 9]

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

I think we should buy all the no.10's~! Pjanic, Isco, etc and just overwhelms the opposition with creativity and flair.

Even if you buy all the no.10's...you would have to keep ALL of them happy by providing them with regular playing time...which isn't possible!

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/
