Firstly, you know me, always positive and glass half full. Now to get to the next level. I do think we need at least 2, and probably 3 ball playing, technically gifted centre backs who can bring the ball out from the back to ensure we don't get penned back like we did, to a degree, against spurs in the first half. Luiz is awesome but to move to the next level we need at least one more with his technical talent, Christensen in the summer (hopefully), but I do think we need one in January to go to the next level. Bonucci would be perfect.

Rio Ferdinand basically said the same thing, he blamed Cahill and azpilacueta, he said they are our are week links when playing out from the back, and they panicked and just kicked the ball away and it kept coming back first half, if you have good defenders who can pass and are good on the ball, you can play your way around a 3 man press and start a good counter attack, all the best teams play from the back.

Dave should never get sold. Superb defender. Poor guy has been played out of position ever since he joined chelsea and always done a great job.
I personally don't think dave is our weak link. Cahill would be my first choice if someone would be dropped. On the other side since we moved to to 3 at the back Cahill has looked more solid but I do think our defence I still missing something.
Without people jumping at me .
Left wing back
Central back
And
Someone to partner KANTE.

Think Cahill is not good enough anyway and I am sure conte will get rid asap. Dave is probably best suited to the wing back roll, as discussed before.

Agree0 Disagree3

We've conceded 1 goal in 7 games and suddenly our defence isn't good enough?

Agree3 Disagree2

30 Nov 2016 12:17:43
Yeah we've been rock solid the last 6 and a half games, the 50 previous we were shambolic, I think if we can bring defenders in who are better than we have we should do.

Agree0 Disagree1

I think if we are going to sign a CB then ideally he should be left footed with a decent amount of pace.

In upcoming transfer window Conte will try to add few more players of his choice and offload those who does not fit in his plan.
Expect a Left wing back, a CM, a CB and an attacking winger to join so what will be realistic targets.
However if Conte does not get his desired players he may wait untill summer.

So coming this transfer window what are our targets.


Left wing back: Call kenedy from loan/ Bernardeschi / Shift azpli when required.

CM : Nainggolan/ Kondogbia/ Nzonzi / Maia / Brozovic / play chalobah, fab when required.

CB : Ramangoli/ Bonucci/ Koulibaly/ Van Dijk / Rudiger / Sule / play ivanovic, terry, zouma when required.

Attacking Winger: James Rodrigues/ Willian only attacking winger on bench to be used when required.

Most of us would love to see griezman/ dybala, verrati etc but i don't think that will happen in winter.

So how many new players should Conte sign in january window?

Verrati I love to see.
Van dijk would be a good addition.

Agree1 Disagree5

@ Wheelycfc Verrati in summer will make more sense as i don't think it will happen in winter.

Agree0 Disagree4

28 Nov 2016 20:33:31
@wheelycfc anyone of them would be a good addition. I like Van dijk and a bit more aggretion in the midfield would be awesome.

Agree2 Disagree3

28 Nov 2016 20:43:33
Though i will love to see Verrati i won't mind Nainggolan in CM and he got good goal scoring record too as def midfielder.

Agree0 Disagree3

Bernadeschi has mostly played as a RW so don't think he'd be bought as a LWB.
I personally don't think Rudiger or Sule are good enough on the ball and think Van Dijk is simply flavour of the month. Out of your list I'd only go for Romagnoli
I'd also pass on James Rodriguez as he's not the type of winger/ forward required for our formation but more of a number 10.
I don't really rate Nainggolan as better than our current options and don't see value for money in the deal. Same with Nzonzi and Brozovic.

If you had to bring 1 player in. who would it be and who would you drop?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

28 Nov 2016 20:26:53
Any one of following
Verrati/ griezman/ dybala/ james rodrigues.

Agree1 Disagree1

Dybala. Scores goals and creates. Pedro has been brilliant but if we need to be challenging on all fronts we can still do better.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Nov 2016 18:41:07
Dybala. Younger than Griezmann and due to Atletico's ban perhaps slightly more attainable.

Perfect thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I appreciate that folks would like an update but I am out travelling right now and a serious chunk of the world away from London - and it will get worse in the coming days. I am also feeling unloved by many of my wives and one of my children. I am concerned about the political situaltion in Israel and whether Country Joe and The Fish will ever play another concert. I worry about getting the time to have the handlebars on my bicycle nickel-plated and what I will do with the knee deep oak leaves that are seemingly taking up much of my property. Live is pretty tough for me.}
