Exactly. They're buying without any real plan, it seems. I made this point in my thread on here in like June about all these first-teamers being signed and it being bad news for the youngsters, and you all dismissed me Rolling Eyes

Hahaha, in all seriousness though, no more. Any more creative players brought in (like all these plastic who want Neymar bought :facepalm:

) would surely kill off whatever chance people like Piazon have left of getting into the side.

No more please. We're set for like the next 4 seasons at least considering the age of the players we brought in.

The only thing we need now is a clinical striker who actually knows what they're doing. Anyone who thinks this team will have success with Torres and Danny as the strikers are beyond delusional.

Falcao would score a hattrick every game with the amount of chances this team creates Laughing

This 10 + Falcao = UEFA Champions League - Shakhtar Donetsk vs Chelsea - Page 2 Itm-fappery

If I am to provide my expert opinion based on my vast experience in playing the FIFA series, I think Falcao is too slow for our team Laughing

Lame joke aside, am I right?

I agree with Shed about just needing the perfect clinical finisher.

If our youngsters on loan keep up their performances it'd be like we are making new impact signings

I like Piazon potential and a huge supporter of giving our youths chances, but if Neymar wants to come here then you absolutely have to take him. This guy has Ballon O'dor winner all over him and would be a money making machine for the club. I am sure it is not going to be difficult playing Mata, Hazard, Oscar, and Neymar in the same lineup. Neymar could play as a 9/false9 or out wide(in this case move Oscar to the pivot.)

Anyway here is my lineup for the Shakhtar Donetsk game.

----------Cech-----------

Azpi---Luiz-----Terry---Cole

-----Mikel----Lampard-------

Moses----Mata------Hazard

----------Sturridge--------

I think Azpi is the most likely i get wrong.

I tried to buy some player in FIFA 13 in the transfer window.. I just ended up buying El Sharaaway to build him up as a striker cos Torres is good in FIFA 13 lol. Cant think of anyone to buy lol

Did you give Sturridge a try infinity? He's pretty good

Exactly. Depending on who you ask, some see Ake as someone who could potentially come through. Can't say, myself.

im pretty sure Ake is a RB, plus we're loaded with LB options with PVA and Bertrand (and AVB wanted to bring in Alvaro Perria Laughing

) in terms of CBs we've got Cholobalah, Bruma and Kalas, although the only time ive watched one of those three was when Carlo started Bruma the week after Sunderland routed the Terry-Paulo partnership and Heskey climbed all over Bruma to score the winner Laughing

tbh im not too worred about our CB situation, we've got four class CBs and only JT has any injury past, im most worried about how Piazon will get any decent game time ahead of OscHazMat (same for Moses and Marin) and Lukaku still has no clear place in our future plans

I think Azpi is the most likely i get wrong.

The false 9 is a farce. It barely worked for Spain in the Euros, who have some of the best midfielders of their generation, and even still, always looked better once Torres came on and provided a focal point for their attacks.

Chelsea have more than enough creative, versatile little players. What we need now is a lethal goalscorer to sit in the box and finish off these chances, and I just don't see Neymar as that guy. Someone in the ilk of Cavani, Falcao, etc. would be perfect. Not to mention, Neymar would, as I said, kill off any chance the very bright Piazon has of getting into the side, and would cost an absolute fortune with no real guarantee of success (cough cough Robinho).

Other than that, the team is absolutely set for years, apart from CM where we're a bit light in numbers, but with McEachran and Chalobah coming back, there should be NO going out blowing more money on bringing any outsiders in.

Yeah, but I use him mainly as a winger lol. He will make the first team around December maybe.. I'm rotating my squad every game Very Happy

btw, i got Pirlo too, just cos i adore him lol

by iNFINITY9910 Sun Oct 21, 2012 9:45 pm

Im just saying, we should give Lukaku a proper run with this midfield, cant be worse than Torres imo Very Happy

Playing Steve Holland up front would be better than Torres FFS.

Really really hope we win this. That first goal was just luck with a bit of poor def.

These guys seem so arrogant though, would love to take the 3 against them.

Also it doesn't seem like we want it like we have recent PL games, sloppy passing, pressing isn't anywhere near as good.

by Shed Tue Oct 23, 2012 8:33 pm

We'd be, literally, 5-0 down right now if it weren't for Cech :facepalm:

Hope Robbie gives them a real hiding at HT.
