wisey11zola25 142 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Al inside black squares are 'like-for-like replacements in the line-up.After a disappointing year, had to cheer myself by looking at the positives of how things can become with this squad...these are a few quick drafts of line-ups/formations to how we could dominate the league with a mixture of youth,experience,skill,big-game players etc.Leave your agreements/disagreements and your own line-ups and formations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 2,275 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 McEachran isn't ready, and I can't see us not signing anyone in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I like the last one, out that, the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRiver 1,512 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Where's Essien/Mikel? They're no doubt better than McEachran defensively. Benayoun, not good enough to be a starter imo. But I like the idea of playing Luiz as a defensive midfielder.And no matter what, the club should make big signings in the summer. We can't risk another trophyless season next year.

wisey11zola25 142 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 made the mistake of putting 10/11 (this year) rather than 11/12, anyone know how to change that?I think Essien will leave and i personally am not a fan of Mikel, also Yossi is the creative player, wouldnt be used every game but he could be our 'Ji-Sung Park' in my opinion the big game player?

TomCFC 357 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Don't you mean 11/12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 We make no signings and move Luiz to DM we will be back to the threadbare defense from this season.We need new players there is no 2 ways about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallySnivy 3 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 We don't need new players. Maybe a goalkeeper to challenge Cech, but that's it! We have quality players, who are performing now (we got from 5th to 2nd in a few months guys!) and good youth. Josh McEachran IS ready, you guys just think that he isn't because he is young and hasn't played much for the first team. Regardless, a few starts in Pre-Season and a few good matches at the start of the season; and hey, he'll be better! Gosh. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh. :/Oh come on, next season without signings while players such as Neymar, Sanchez, Mata, Aguero, Lukaku, Pastore, Hamsik, Ganso, Dzagoev, Van der Wield, Snejider, Robben, Coentrao and some other are all possible to bring? Nope, we are going to spend big in this summer transfer period, and especially knowing the policy of our club I am sure of this.We do have quality players, but would you rather have Neymar and Sanchez as your wingers instead of Anelka and Malouda?As for a GK, you shouldn't forget young Delac.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It will be enough for a 5 spot. Im serious, this isnt realistic at all. We want at least to win the PL, imo this isnt enough.The last one is nice though, it will be ok for most league games, but not against the big teams.In case we arn't going do purchase anyone in the summer, i would go for this-----------------------Essien-----------------------ramirez/McEachran-------lampard-------Sturridge----------------Malouda--------------------------------------Drogba/FTAnd put Luiz as a DMF could be fantastic actually. We gotta try it, in this case Essien can play in is favourite position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave30 728 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 we should only be looking for maybe 1 or 2 player tops . People act shocked that borini is leaving Sturridge is thinking about it and so is Cork .Yet the same people think we should be spending 100 million on new strikers or midfielders ? we need to bring mceachran into the first team and the promise of first team football for borini. We should be targeting one creative midfielder tops such as modric or one winger , we dont need any defenders or strikers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo 1,729 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Unless our midfield suddenly wakes up from sleep with an ability to create chances creatively then we still need some quality signings. The strike line i'm not so worried about since Sturridge will be back so we will have depth in that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 McEachran is not quite ready in my opinion. He just needs to bulk up a little bit more so that he can make those tackles which you get in the Premier League. However, there is nothing wrong with giving him a few substitute appearances and playing from a young age can be benificial- look how well Jack Wilshere is doing.

TotallySnivy 3 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Essien can be the defensive midfielder, McEachran can be a playmaker and Lampard can play in his usual position. Sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing we miss is composure , short passing and creativity all three of this best qualities : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I like the idea that all of those lineups are using Sturridge!! If he gets used frequently in the 11/12 season, he will be one of our best players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 seems Kakuta is becoming the invisible man ... 20 next month ,,,next season could be make or break for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
