Take back what I said not that Ed posted it :). Class from mou with his post match interview Nd congratulating the Bradford team that's more like the good aul awesome Jose we all love give the hurting when it's there and raise your hands up and admit defeat. Again fair play to him.

Anyways I was thinking today just before the game how we are going after wingers got me thinking why we aren't after a dmf beside Matic rather than another winger we could definitely do without. I know we do need better than Willian but in the long run I feel we need another midfielder especially in tough away games and I the summer if Schrulle doesn't pick up sell him and get someone that could be out there with Traore, Thorgan or Piazon taking Salah's spot. No need replacing Sarah if he does leave Boga can take his spot plus Remy and Oscar plus Rami are always available. Problem though would be finding that midfield player at the right price like we did last January.

Well let's hope for a bounce back against the scousers Tuesday. Come on Chelsea :)

Everyone probably knows right about now that I'm a big fan of Traore. I'd love for him to get a shot in the first team :)
Regarding the midfield, you're quite right. But I struggle to think of players I'd like to see at Chelsea. I still have hope for Van Ginkel, if only he could shake off those injuries. Another option is to trust someone like Ake, Chalobah or RLC, but that's unlikely to happen. Anyone got a good suggestion for central midfield that's not Pogba or Schneiderlin (seeing as we've got no interest in him)?
I'd love to hear some :-)

It's a tough one because holding mids are one of the most difficult positions to fill. For the most part there are two types; the quarterback (pirlo) and the destroyer (mikel). It's tough to envision us getting another really good holding mid to partner with matic since most teams don't even have one (see Liverpool and arsenal). I'd really like to see Chalobah groomed for this role as I agree mikel is rather limited in his abilities. Overall there could be a decent amount of turnover in the midfield with mikel and Ramires names both being linked with exits.

Haha fair enough. A better example would be Luiz Gustavo I guess but you get the point.
