Crazy? You mean composed, he does know how the tackle hard (Ben Arfa and Xabi Alonso) but I haven't seen him do any retarded stuff like Melo.

the guy is absolutely amazing. In my opinion the best DM in England last season.
Agree with you , last season he was the best DM in EPL in my opinion as well.

But i do wonder where would he play, in a 3 man midfield it seems he would replace Marchi, but that would leave the midfield with lack of creativity and goal scoring threat. We already got Vidal doing the tackling.We even have a winger who does lot of defending in Pepe. Why would we need another defensive mid. Even the rest of the midfield transfer targets that we are looking at for example Guarin and Radja are not really defensive midfielders. I dun't think there's any truth to this rumor.

In my opinion, if we opt to get a Defensive midfielder it would be for Pirlo's slot. I believe by doing this it could give Conte the opportunity to field a more attack minded right winger.

i agree, but


the right winger must offer a bigger diffrence bewteen pirlo creativity and pepe's, then the diffrence between pepe's defensive skill and pirlo

thats quite a big obstacle in my book

Ideally, on the right we would need a Silva or a Mata. Not a traditional winger.
What about Hazard, does he fit the bill ?

It does make sense to replace Pirlo with a DM to accommodate a more attacking RM but that is a very risky gamble. Would the winger do more than what Pirlo has given this season? To abandon a working tactic , for something new and unproven would be a huge gamble from Conte's side.


He would complement pirlo well. Nobody would want to tackle Pirlo for the ball, cause then Nigel would be coming to get it from him... :)
Still I would prefer one of the bright french stars or Radja here. But perhaps his age would be more appropriate if we plan to do something in Europe in the next 3-4 years. Then there is the question of his wages and our wage structure.
He currently earn's about 55k a week, which is still within our wage structure if we are seriously looking at him.

I hate De Jong; a good player, tough in the tackle, perhaps too tough, but limited going forward (hence why Yaya actually starts for City, cuz he can do De Jong's job and contribute in the attacking third). He's also too rough and a disgusting player in my opinion.

Let's trust Marrone and Appelt, get a new CM for cover and rotation as well, and we are set in that department.

We need to focus on a backup CB, and 2 quality attacking players in the summer, preferably one of superstar caliber.
