For the last few seasons the best DM's have been in high demand and if you believe any of the rumours then once again the best teams in Europe are after the likes of Kindogbia and Carvalho (what a game he had the other night). Yet once again we want to "buck" the trend.

I'm not for having a team of brutes and want good flowing football but we lack steel - even Sakho who I am a fan of can be a girl sometimes - note Jonathan Walters' comments today about how Liverpool simply didn't like being pressed and the physical stuff.

Footballers don't like being pressed shock.

I agree, particularly when we don't have a CB pairing that works yet. would love too see a Kongdogbia or Illara signed up for the future and let Can learn his trade and/or be used a bit further forward.

In the modern game a defensive midfielder is one of the, if not the, most important positions.
Lucas does a decent job there, but completely disagree with whoever claimed the other day "he's the best at protecting the back 4 in the league".
Matic was the most important player in Chelsea's title win last season.
Busquets is arguably the most important player for Barcelona.
And Real Madrid looked weaker this season having sold Xabi and replaced him with a box-to-box midfielder in Kroos.
Kondogbia should be our no.1 target, especially now it seems he's a Liverpool fan anyway!

Carvalho. Can't see the fuss.

We don't need to sign any of them. We have Pedro chirivell. if he wants to play a dm in the team and lucas is injured then he has to go with Pc.

Agree for the most part toddy though I'd be happier with a better keeper and a class striker and keep Lucas. Though if BR moves Lucas on as expected then we need to target a kongdobia.

20 Jun 2015 11:07:15
100% agree toddy. I'd like Carvalho as I've not seen much of Kondogbia but if he's a red and as good as people say then no cl this year might not be a barrier.

Really a dedicated purely Defensive Midfielder is only integral to you if you play a 4-2-3-1 formation, or a 4-1-4-1 such as those employed by us under Rafa.

We've needed a DM ever since Mascherano left. Unfortunately Brendan thinks he knows best on this and doesn't need one. If you listen back to that interview he did with various fan groups when he first came in, he described the player for that role as a 'controller' rather than someone with steel who would break up play etc. I'd be very surprised if a DM was brought in.

To the guy who said no one like being pressed - rubbish, listen to Mourinho who tells you exactly how to play against it to good effect.

20 Jun 2015 12:37:46
Isn't this hypocrisy ? a lot are clambering for Carvalho and we have an excellent dm in the academy called Chirivella ! Isn't this why everyone hates Brendan tor signing players and not giving are academy a chance?

OT do you only moan if one of the eds says there's a better academy prospect.

20 Jun 2015 13:57:26
I see you point redman but there a big difference spending money on someone that can walk into the first team and improve us from day 1 and trying to give an academy player a chance. My big issue is spending money on squad players- that's what we should be looking for internally with the long term goal to get them in the first 11.

20 Jun 2015 14:15:20
If you sign WC chirvella never gets a chance.

There about the same age and one costs 37mil and other is just ab academy player who won't be given a shot.

If you want to improve the first team whilst still leaving room for your academy then you buy someone like Medel or use Lucas for another 2 years and then have Chirivella take over.

Carvalho comes in as 37 mil and 20 then he's with us for at least 6/7/8 years and by that time Chiricella will have left.

This is what the club aren't doing, looking at strategy's for there signings.

Saying (and I know I have waffled on) right we have Chirivella who we want to give a shot to bit he needs a loan, so we will keep Lucas for another 2 years with th view of have pc take over and then if he doesn't work out you then look to buy someone in.

20 Jun 2015 15:03:38
Yeah, I said the same earlier, may as well keep Lucas and bed in Internal replacements for the long term. If Lucas goes then we should buy a first 11 player, understand that may hinder some development but at least it gives us a chance of actually winning things.
