I also still dont think we are after a "central" creative player. We're simply crowding the central midfield with big strong beast midfielders who will overpower and keep the ball whilst our wide men do damage, which is why Willian would have been good, creative wide midfielder who can cause havoc by coming inside. I am hoping Lamela can do that, he is creative but he relies more on dribbling and finishing and what a hell of a finisher he is.
Yeah agree. Whoever we sign for the left inside forward role needs to be as similar to Willian as possible. I really can't see us going for a deeper-sitting CM ballplayer like Pjanic or Eriksen.
I don't know who that will be though.
- Bernard has already been sold
- Ljajic is more like Lamela (i.e. direct cf creative)
- Offer Liverpool a double your money on Coutinho?
After missing out on Villa and Benteke, then ending up with Soldado who is the best signing of the three anyway, I have faith Baldini and AVB will get someone ideal. I just can't think who at the moment.
