we shouldn't need another CM

get a bloody decent Lb, or even put Peluso there and move Asamoah to the centre, its not that difficult.
but Peluso at lwb is and Asa at cm is much worse than Asa at lwb and Radja at CM.

4 (I don't count asa because he isn't used there) quality cms for a team that relies so heavily on cms and starts with 3 really isn't much. 5 would be the right amount.

No, its not, plus when Raja comes he will be what 4th choice cm after marchisio, vidal and pogba so he won't be getting much game time anyway, why spend so much on a player that will hardly play when we have someone even better in our team. Use the 15 million on a Great Lwb so we kill 2 birds with one stone

maybe, but there aren't any good enough LWBs for that much available in january, or now anyway. but I think you're way overrating Peluso anyway. Peluso really isn't good enough for anything besides coppa.

plus I think radja will be a loan too, so maybe the best option is coentrao but I doubt we can loan him in jan from rm

I completely understand where you are coming from, but i don't mean starting Peluso every game as out LWB, i just mean that whenever Asa is called into action at cm Peluso could fill in fine. But wouldn't you agree to wait until next transfer market, and spend the money on Coentrao for example and move Asa to the centre.

Asa won't be moved to the centre even if there were both Marcelo and Coentrao available for a combined fee of €20M.

This is a good option too. Wouldnt mind Radja though, he's going to be awesome in a season or two.

Radja won't remain behind Marchisio in the pecking order for long.
at this rate definitely :D

Problem is Conte hasn't really been doing that, I think Asa has only played CM a couple of times so far only this season. I remember vs real in the first game in the second half he played cm and maybe another game or two. I think Asamoah would be amazing at CM, but it seems obviously that Conte just prefers to have him as lwb the whole time. Probably Asamoah would be better than Radja but I still don't like that idea of using Peluso often anyway. imagine we face Bayern again in CL, what if we had to play Peluso for some reason... that would be horrible.

I think Radja will have great use as a CM anyway. We know Conte likes to rotate a lot and he would probably be a great swap for Pirlo in the DM role. as klin said he could even force his way into 4th choice cm.

Yeah i know what you guys mean, I'm in no way doubting the ability of the player, he is immensely talented and would probably be great here, it's just in my opinion there are better options, but his arrival will only strengthen our team.

better? maybe...but y waste time on players u cant even get ur hands on? its not as if the 'better' players are so many miles apart in quality than radja...

..esp wen u factor in the unkown probability that a shit player can go to any club and becme good just as a good palyer can go to a club and become shit

too many variables and permutations and combinations of hypothetical situations..

asa is the best lwb in the league and there is no reason to change something that works good. get radja and we are set for the rest of the season

This is what I have been saying for ages. :tup: The problem is, of course, that it doesn't look like Conte is aware of the fact that Asamoah can play CM.

Getting Coentrao and moving Asamoah to CM is the best thing we can do right now but I'm afraid Conte is obsessed with Asamoah's defensive ability on the flank.

coentrao in january (because he is not cup-tied) + radja is a decent winter mercato. that way we would have 6 CM (MVPP, radja, asa) and 2 lwb (coentrao, asa). and asa would have plenty of playing time because he would be backup for 2 positions
