Mceachran long way of ,could not even get in swansea team when on loan....

In fairness to Josh, it would be fairly difficult to get a position in a team where the players have such an immense understanding of the way they play. Espicially when he is still only 18/19.
Melbourne CFC

They used josh as back up & they didnt get injuries. do u nt remember when josh on his own ruined astonvilla in the fa cup?

They also brought in siggurdson who was one of the suprises of the season. He looked class in china.
Tk

If you think Josh McEachran is our future CDM midfielder for the next 10 years than i have to disagree, he is a mobile CM who has great vision and a nice passing ability he isn't a CDM, he is to small and not athletic or physically gifted enough to play CDM, Mikel im still not sure about, Essien doesn't seem the same player and Romeu lacks experience. Lets face it Josh is never going to be our starting CM especially in a 4 2 3 1 formation, he is going to be a squad player used in rotation. M'Vila is a beast, hes 21 and he gives us the physicality and ball distribution in midfield. He would be my Ideal choice next to Ramires. We need a CDM we can rely on every week with a small attacking front 4 in Mata, Hazard, Marin, Torres we need someone who can win the ball and get stuck in.
PB
Agree3

He is by far a def mid, he's blatantly a playmaker and even attacking, his idol is iniesta. Acne lotto nearly ruined him playing him holding mid. BLUEBOY1

Think you mean att mid or centre mid blueboy
agree with your comment though
curt
Agree0
Disagree3
I'd agree with PB, I dont think he has or will ever have the physical presence to bully the centre of the pitch like an Essien or M'vila, what he does have is extremely good passing and vision, but this would mean he would be looking to take the place of Rami or Mata in the 1st XI, which I cant see happening for a while, although maybe to rest some players in league cup games.

What about a swap deal between Essien and Sahin at Real?
I don't feel we need Essien no more as we have Mikel plus Chalobah now. Sahin Is the type of player I feel we have been lacking for a number of years, someone who is a bit Alonso esc and can really hit a ball. Jose also has a soft spot for Essien. MB
Believable3
Unbelievable2
I personally don't think we need another small, creative central midfielder
If we sign Hulk & Moses which are the 2 likely targets i think that's it in terms of creativity.
If at all any central midfielder i would choose a tall, built like a brick sh*t house type player who can kick people and give the ball to the creative lads, so basically someone like Fellaini

Mceachran will be the new Kakuta, lots of promise but was handled in the wrong way. This is one reason I would love Pep to join, or at least somone who intergrates youth. Haven't seen enuff of rdm yet, i hope he does though. We have a great youth team, will be such a shame if they are all wasted.
Agree1
Disagree1
Kakuta played quite well in France on loan he's still got the potential
Agree1
Disagree0
The way I see it regards the youth is if a manager plays them and we lose he gets slated for not playing the senior players, and if like last season when we weren't doing so well but still in cups and trying to get fourth would have. Even crucified had we played the youth. We are a big club with massive expectations and managers have to perform or they are out until this changes it would be a brave man to start playing our youth players regularly.

I would absolutely keep Sturridge has more potential and more about his game than Walcott. However Sturridge is very greedy and never goes in for 50/50 challenges or takes risks. I wouldn't shed a tear if he left, but I'd have him over Walcott everytime.

Chelsea will be playing in Battersea by 2020, the Malaysians will win the bid but will then negotiate with Chelsea. They plan to develop the surrounding area as a shopping complex, they also plan to build the tube line to go into Battersea. The Malaysians arent silly they know having 60k people entering that area roughly every 2 weeks for matchdays will boost them just as much as it does Chelsea

Ozil - Mata - Hazard
Torres
Pretty much like that. Rotating positions.
Although as Curt said it is extremely unlikely that Ozil will move.
IB.

Behind torres is where he is best but we got mata who plays there plus the right price in madrids eyes would be 50 plus mill f**K that
curt
Agree0

IMO 50M would be an absolute steal for Ozil. Although it is unlikely I recall Ed saying something regarding possible exits from RM due to some in house 'fighting' for lack of a better word.
Has this situation resolved itself Ed002? I know Di Maria is one possible option to leave.
Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - They are going to have a clear out of their midfield.}
Agree0

If di maria is up for sale i wouldnt mind him joining if the hulk transfer collapses if not just have both of them there quality starter and quality back up

Thanks for the reply ed002. Is Ozil on the possible outs list?

I think that chelsea should make a £32.5 million bid for Hulk with Meireles included. Not only would Including Meireles reduce the price but it would give the likes of Josh M and Chalobah a greater chance of getting in to the team while reducing the wage bill. Thoughts guys?

32m and meirelles is ridiculous hulks worth 30m no more than that we could get iker muniain for 25m i bet BLUEBOY1
Agree0

Ye but Munian played more central the past season then we would have 3 central players occupying the trio behind the striker. But tbh I'm not totally convinced that we need Hulk.
MB
Agree0
Disagree0
It's just if we was to get Hulk this is a deal I would accept. Not £40 million!
MB
Agree0
Disagree0
So ur rating meireles at 2.5 mil?
Agree0
Disagree1
No, Porto are demanding £40 million for Hulk. £40-32.5= £7.5 million
Agree0
Disagree0
BLUEBOY1 Munian has supposedly been offered to a few clubs for around 20m. He was offered to both Man Utd and Chelsea in January for 40m but neither party agreed on the price. Also Munian is a LW whereas Hulk plays as a RW. I would assume Chelsea are no longer searching for a left sided attacking or wide player.
Melbourne CFC

23 Jun 2012 17:14:29
In addition to Eden Hazard and Marko Marin(who i think may be signing of the season), I would also love to see Hulk, Cavani and Debuchy. That may sound a bit greedy but... look at Man City, 4 top strikers rotated successfully. I think we can be succesfull with 2. Kane and Hutch arnt ready to cover iva yet, maybe a loan is in order. I think on the right side of the '3' should be hulk with no senior back up. Enter Lucas Piazon. You can all see my thinking behind this, and if needs must we can always slot Rami in there and have Lamps-Mikel in the middle like last season.
Cech
Iva Luiz JT Cole
Mikel Rami
Hulk Mata Hazard
Torres
Cavani is maybe wishful thinking but i would love to c him in blue and gold next year! Debuchy and Hulk are 100% feasable though.
European Champions

Agreed it would be ace if we got Cavani but i can't see it happening, if we are to get a back up striker it will be Jovetic

Would love to see them three but cant see Cavani joining, i think Lucas Piazon is worthy of being the back up for Hulk, gosh, the future looks brilliant at chelsea with all these super-talented youngsters

I dont really want cavani or falcao mainly because they wont be happy with second best to torres and i want torres to be our number one striker next season to give him a chance think he will be better than cavani or falcao would be

I have been following this site for a while and Curt is always complaining why he gets so much hate and stuff but there has just been something aggravating me. It's just that with every young player Curt seems to claim they are over rated. I don't have anything against u or anything like that so don't have a go at me cause it's just my opinion and that's the point of the site.

Balotelli certainly isn't over-rated, he just has an attitude problem.

Every young player ?? augero's young i said hes top 3 strikers in the world, mata i rate highly infact alot have youngsters have potential unless there english (a few exceptions) because they never get game time

My big question of the day for you guys is what would you do with the bison. As everyone knows he's about as durable as a toothpick. That being said hes only 29 and if he gets back to the form he could be capable then he would be an automatic selection next to rami. You have to take into account that theres a far greater chance he doesn't find that form. If you were to sell him I doubt you would draw a fee more than £7m. With all of that said what would you do with him?
Tk
Believable1
Unbelievable1
Definetly sell one of Meireles or Essien.
Agree1
Disagree0
If an offer came and both club and player agrees then i would let him go,truth is when the knee is the problem its almost impossible to get back to 100%,and watching him play last season i doubt we'd ever see the old essien again.i think its time for mikel to finally convince us fans that he deserves to be in the team and also for romeu to cement himself a position in the team.i for one would not mind having meireles as cover,he can provide us with some surprising game winners.

In 4 2 3 1 formation usually in the pivot of central one is a defending mid one is more attack or playmaker. but at home gamdes against bottom half teams, we should not even use a holding mid player, attacke & a deep lying playmaker

I haven't seen too many people putting oriol romeu in their teams, imo he will be a beast, he's got great passing, thanks to la masia, and he reads the game very well, he looks twice the player mikel is.
trueblue012

100% agree trueblue012. I will always be grateful to AVB for signing Romeu. I don't see him getting a huge amount of playing time next spell though as Barca still have the option to buy back for around 7.5m? (ed?)
He will be an absolute superstar in the future and one of the best CDM in the world.
Melbourne CFC
Agree0

Agree trueblue012, barca wouldnt have included a buy-back option in his sale if they didnt rate the lad, more mobile than mikel, good tackler and has an eye for attacking passes, not just shuffling the ball to the side. Still young and has alot to learn but he certainly looks to have alot of potential.

i personally dont under stand everyone wanting a centre mid. we need a right back. we already have lampard, ramires, essien, mikel, meirelles. thats 5 for a most probable 2 places in 4 2 3 1. i would much rather have young mceachran brought in then signing a moutinho or a modric. given the game time we all know josh will pass the ball as good or better than these 2 if he is played and score more goals. same as with the strikers we have torres, back ups of sturridge & lukaku. im not a fan of sturridge at all but ill give him a chance next season playing his centre forward position. obviously lukaku is a very raw talent but will only get better if played sometimes. with the attacking 3 behind the striker its gunna be mata hazard marin atm which ilove the sound of because they will swap all the time throughout games. and we have 3 young but great potential back ups of kakuta, de bruyne & piazon. all given game time & train with the first team can reach their pottential. bertrand play more give cole a rest, same as with the new RB rotate with ivanovic. our central defence is perfect as is cech in goal. i really dont see the point in a modric type or CM or another wing or striker. iwant us to play some youngsters with the right guidance lukaku, mceachran, kakuta, de bruyne, piazon can all be very very good squad players next year and would all accelerate next season. whats brought this on is the whole FABIO BORINI stuff theyve got the talent bleed them in! opinions blue bloods BLUEBOY1

We need to get rid of one of Meireles and Essien and definetly Benayoun as their is no point of them staying. However I do want one of them to stay to add experience to the squad.

CB- luiz, terry, ivanovic, cahill
CM- ramires, lampard, meirelles, mikel, essien, romeu, benayoun, mceachran.
A3-mata, hazard,malouda, marin, piazon, kakuta, de bruyne
ST- torres, sturridge, lukaku.
8 centre mids that is quite a few really all we need is 5,
Agree0

I completely agree. When you look at teams like barca their backups are their stars of tomorrow. I understand having some role players but the best way for players to develope is by playing. That being said I think we could use a right winger.
Tk
Agree1
Disagree0
Much as I love Essien I can't see him ever being the player he was. From a report I remember hearing a year or so ago, his leg muscles are so huge and over-developed that they are literally pulling his knees apart. Such a shame as him in his prime next to Rami in centre mid would be an awesome pairing, pace, power, tackling, an eye for goal and they could both go box to box for 90 mins. Probably lacking a bit of passing but would certainly make for a solid pair against tough opposition or away games.
PieZ
Agree2
Disagree0
I would get rid of Benayoun & Essien. Meireles can be good on his day
Agree2
Disagree1
All we need is a RB, RW and back up striker. Hulk will probably be our RW and RB/ST possibilities have been talked to death on here recently. Beyond that I hope we dont sign any more and give some of our very promising young players a chance, could easily use them in cup games this year given the number of games we're going to have. That could of course all change if alot of players move on this summer.
PieZ
Agree1
Disagree0
I am very pleased with all our signings hazard can beat people and open things up when we struggle also marin looks like a goal maker I really pray we get Hulk because he will only make up for the loss of the great Drog what a great player he has been for this club boys eh!Hulk looks the real deal to me look at him on utube he wont be bullied thats for sure.I really rate piazon he will make the first team one day not convinced with mceachron bit slightly built but has potential we still need to win things so cant just chuck in too many youngsters at once and they really do have to hit the ground running like bertrand did this is a massive club they have to be worked in slowly we have so many great players but we are buying younger players right now also agree with you guys about Fellanni we also need his grit in midfield yes we have a lot of midfielders but rotate get rid of benayoun, maybee ession now and maybe meireles and let lukaku out on loan not convinced about him yet.Also sturridge needs to think about the team and not just him scoring goals he needs to wise up if he does he can be a great player.
