Who do we need?

[Madmax 9,219]

Top priority IMO should be a creative attacking midfielder. The injury to Lampard has just demonstrated where we stand without his attacking impetus, creativity and ability to spot and make that killer pass.

[King11Didier 916]

Centre back or playmaker I think.David Luiz for centre back is good.

[kwylino 329]

A midfielder For me is top If anything one player i would take would be samir nasri imho

As for the backline i trust the youth system

luiz is overpriced

if ivanovic is as World class if not more and we only got him for half Or less of benfica value Luiz

Then a bit of searching wouldnt hurt

[LDN Blue 7,903]

A centre back by far.

Look, we know our front 5 are capable of producing goals, we just need to look at our goal scoring form from August-October to realise that. We just need to get that front 5 combining again, Lampard and Essien will play together for the first time since September which will be a real boost for us. Malouda looked the most threatening from all our players, Kalou's working hard as always, he just needs to finish more. The Drog.. Well against Tottenham (when he came on) he was better than he's been for a while and the malaria should be out his system by now, meaning he should be ready to fire.

Once we have things sorted at the back, we'll have the impetus to attack more, where the emphasis has always been.

All position needed

I went for playmaker. We have too many defensive midfieleders; Ramires, Mikel and Essien although he is awesome on the attack! We need a midfielder who specialises in attack like Lampard. Hard to find though, I know. I wouldn't mind seeing us sign 3 new players which concludes of an attacking midfielder (not a fucking winger lol) , centre back and striker.

[King11Didier 916]

We should search for young playmaker.In other leagues I think we can find some young player with future.I watch some matches from other leagues and there are good young players.For defence,yes our young defenders are good.I don't know why we sell Di Santo and Stoch.They had future in the club.I love Stoch style and I liked to see him to sub in the game.But this is another theme.I think we should buy playmaker for now then we will see for other positions.

[King11Didier 916]

I forgot that if Cech have a injury everyone will want to buy keeper,bacause we don't have good second keeper.We must think about that too.

Right sided winger/attacker

That then frees up Anelka to rotate with Drogba and it also keeps Kalou as far away from the first team as possible. Win-win situation.

[Styles 9,790]

I should add that I have zero faith in Ancelotti or the club looking to sign an attacking player after reading this

Ancelotti dismisses the idea that a few weeks of low-scoring strikers means he should look for reinforcements up front during the transfer window. If he was to make knee-jerk reactions to recent poor results then he would be shopping for far more than that. 'Obviously when you have a problem you have to find a solution immediately,' he says, 'but if you think only about one bad moment, it is not enough to change two or three players, you must change seven or eight and this is impossible'.

So we struggle to score goals, our best strker is suffering from malaria, Anelka is out of form, Malouda only gets a rest because of the weather and he says we don't need at least 1 new attacker in the mix? This guy is either clueless or being told what to say by those running the squad into the ground.

Don't worry! We've got 'Tries hard but fails to score' Kalou & 'Will only get 10minutes to do something" Sturridge

These latest comments have just shattered any hope I had of us signing someone in January.

This.

The better would be - in the case of the 4-3-3 - a player who can play on the right side and who's able to as a playmaker... Like Ozil...

But I actually have the feeling that we will hear by the end of January "our squad is strong enough, we don't need to buy someone"....

[Madmax 9,219]

The lack of respect for a great man like Carlo is appalling.

Lmao, so true.

[Rambo 1,729]

a true right winger.

[cfc-meleady 192]

There should be a "Wilkins" option...

[Mário César 1,340]

We need all ot this.

[Henrique 9,133]

Big Sam or Benitez.

Or Martin O'neill.
