Mate, you need to get some glasses, if you believe that Lemina hasn't been underwhelming so far..
I do not agree!
Lemina might didnt put a WC performances since he isnt WC... but he didnt put bad performances either!
I had some talk about Lemina being overrated here as I dont think he is going to be something like Vidal while some other guy thought otherwise but this doesnt mean he isnt a good player!
Asamoah has been crap and this is clear to see
We miss Marchisio and its also clear to see
But the thing we miss the most is playing the attacking style of football we played against Sassuolo as this is the style of play that could make us CL Champions!

As for reinforcement - I doubt we will be getting anyone but if we do I hope it will either be someone with physique or someone creative who can take a bit weight off Pjanic`s shoulders
Fabregas is slow so thats some downside he isnt as dynamic as what we may look but he is contributing in defending and no one can argue his creativity... I think we should get him

I don't think we can win the CL with the likes of Asamoah playing in midfield, Marchisio can't come back soon enough. Then we can judge the full potential of our midfield. I agree with the winter transfer, we won't be getting anyone most likely.

Well, looks like Merda is ready to spend again. James just acknowledged that Inter tried to sign him. We need to get our business done soon - if the Milans begin to buy big, it may be harder to obtain our targets (as if it wasn't hard enough).

If our entire midfield revolves heavily around keeping all 3 of our best midfielders fit, which it does, we're in some fucking trouble because at least 2 of them are constant injury doubts.

We need that Witsel/Matuidi type buy in January, and we need to move on from the 3-5-2 particularly if Chiellini keeps up his worrying form. Regardless though, we need a fucking plan B more than we need new players. We do not have a plan B. Allegri is terrified of a different set up. He'd rather swap wing backs and bring Pjaca on for Dybala than take a defender off for an attacker.

I read that story and it instantly reminded me of you :D

For the next window, it's worrying that our first targets remain Witsel and Matuidi.

We need better than that, I know there isn't much on the market. I'd rather we go for up and coming talents if no opportunity arises.

Just a stale band aid to cover up the mess temporarily. Limited player like Witsel is no way adequate to give this midfield the genuine mule kick in genuine quality it needs.

We need Wiesel in January, he is exactly what we are missing right now – calm on ball, physically strong guy who plays it simple and safe, covers for others.
