With hazard rumours going we may well look what we could sign to replace him?

Should we get a proven star or we should invest in other talent?

Are we going to go fro Kroos, J. Rodriguez, Isco type of player.

Or would we sign draxler, delafoue or something of that calibre

I think draxler may be a top drawer (and this is not only based on his champions league performance)

just go all out for griezman.

Agree0 Disagree1

None of them three are natural wingers or have good pace like Hazard. We rely too much on Costa for goals now, Griezmann is the only option for me.

Agree0 Disagree1

It's incredibly rare for wingers to be successful in England without some turn of pace and as others said most of those guys (barring duelofeu) are centre attacking mids. Agree with it having to be griezzman although I'm greedy and would like another top winger if hazard left.

Agree0 Disagree0

Problem is who is those wingers and who is available?

Working on theory we don't keep players who want to go, hazard is going.
I personally think the pogba boat has sailed to many of the big boys interested now. I don't think griezzman he's predominantly a winger and we don't need another winger, I think we need a strong presence which is what we have lacked for a couple of years. I like both verratti and matuidi both who are strong and can control the midfield. Trouble is verratti has just signed a new contract so matuidi would be my choice.

Willian or Pedro could play wide left if hazard goes. With the possibility of no European football are transfer targets I'm sure will differ from previous pogba/ greizman etc. Brahmi from Porto looked a good player when he played against us or we need to look at top players who want a move because their not getting game time. James from real won't play once bale is fit again.

Genuinely think 2-1 is a great scoreline mentally because A) Players will know of our UCL record at the Bridge and B) PSG will I think get cocky like they did two years agao when they took a lead from Paris. Am quite confident with a decent start we will go through. Even think we might do a Napoli on them, early pressure, score and then crush them under a tide of blue- need to make sure the Bridge is roaring again for the second leg!

Tonight highlighted for me that selling Ramires without bringing in a replacement might have been a mistake. Fabregas, Oscar, and RLC (at the moment) are primarily attacking mids while Mikel and Matic are both holding mids. We've lacked a quality box to box midfielder since Essien started to struggle with injuries. The club clearly targeted this role in the summer looking at Pogba and Allan (of Napoli) but neither came off. I've got to say that Kante from Leicester has looked absolutely immense all season. You can call it MOTD fever or whatever but he covers so much ground it's like having an extra man in midfield.

re Kante, i'm with you. I think he could prove a very clever signing for all of arsenal Chelsea and city.

Kante or someone like Nainggolan would be brilliant.

Toni Kroos would be probably the best solution but it is highly unlikely that can sign him.
Guys you don't follow Hiddinks press conference's so some of you obviously doesn't know that Hiddink sees Matic as offensive and creative player. He wants another Mikel someone who is more defensive than Matic.

Agree0 Disagree2

Hidink won't be here in the summer antibot so what are you talking about?

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Feb 2016 04:47:23
I really see no difference between the role that Fabregas and Kroos perform. Naingolan is another nice shout, one night in Munich. Bottom line our midfield gets overrun too commonly and Matic has taken a ton of stick for this.

Really proud of the boys' performance today to be fair. I thought we probably deserved a draw, the save to deny Costa was incredible. Both Cahill and Iva were rocks at the back and I thought Baba was fantastic as well. All to play for in the second leg.

Really pleased with the performance. The absence of Terry and Matic in addition to the lack of time for our defense to gel really had me worried that PSG could put the tie to bed in the first leg. I thought Rahman was immense tonight and if he can keep that up then we have our fullback situation covered for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately we weren't incredibly clinical with our chances on the break but 2-1is certainly a result that can be reversed in the return leg.
