We need him because we are rubbish and that is coming from a Chelsea fan {Ed018's Note - i wouldn't think that our attacking midfielders have been the problem this season. unless you see something that i don't}

Ed
If we get rid of a few players ie: Essien, Malouda, Benayoun, Ferrer off of the wage bill we would be able to pay Falcao's wages and have a bit to spare.
Great news

And by January or summer lampard and cole! Both big wages!

I'm not sure where all of the figures are but I can say that Malouda and sturridge are both looking for a move away while Ferreira and hilario are likely to move on in the summer. Also in the offing to move on would be essien lamps cole and potentially more (Torres and potentially others). Overall I think Ed would say don't worry about the numbers as they will figure themselves out.

Is Ferrer still knocking about? could have used him last season when we ran out of defenders. {Ed018's Note - if you are referring to Ferreira, he came on in the Leeds match the other night}

Was about to ask about Albert myself- I didn't realise he was still playing.
Guess someone beat me to it!
Roweycfc {Ed002's Note - Ferrer is back doing some press work and may move back in to coaching again in the summer.}

There has been a lot of rumours going around lately about whether Chelsea will try to sign Moutinho in January.
I rate him very highly as a player and think he could play the deep lying playmaker role like Alonso does for Madrid which we need because Ramires can't pass the ball.
If he were to arrive he would probably play with Mikel although I would love to see him play in the pivot with Luiz.
Luiz showed against Leeds his ability defensively when he lost the ball which conceded the goal and his attacking ability when he put a sublime ball through for Hazard to score.

Gotta agree with you Ben. Moutinho looked class in the Euro's and I also think we need a playmaker in the holding role. I still think we could do better than Mikel along side him.

Maybe we could leave the signing of Fellaini till the summer and try a double bid for Moutinho and Fernando with Fernando as the ball winner who can both play together aswell?
Any thoughts ed?

It was Lampards fault not Luiz we conceded a goal, Luiz should be able to go forward and lose the ball without us conceding a goal. It just means Lampard has to track back and cover his spot as he should have as a defensive midfielder, but as usual he is far out of position when defending is needed Oscar did track back tho.

Pique does that quite often for Barcelona. The question you should ask yourself is if Luiz lost the ball that high up the field, where were the two pivot midfielders eh? Shouldn't they be covering? If the pivots carries out their task out, Luiz going foward wouldn't be an issue. But since they don't , scuh mistakes are a common occurance. The midfield is the issue yet every clown and his dog choose to overlook it and bang on about Luiz. If Mikel played, there's a great chance that goal wouldn't be. But even he is susceptible to the occasional concentration lapse and not to mention his lack of pace and unprogressive play. What we need is a domineering midfielder who dictates and dominates play in the mould of Essien in his prime.
Agree0

Ramires and Mikel are not good enough at passing the ball to play there? So we have got to do something? Agreed an Essien in his prime would be good but how many of them do you know if any?
