Romeu out.....

....for 6 months!!!! Thats all we need with Mikel suspended, the Bison still on loan and Lamps still not fully fit! Bah!! Humbug!!

 

Not the best news. Maybe we might see David Luiz given a run as DM ????

 

Not great news but Lamps is coming back, Mikel only 2 games away from being back (of which one will be the league cup game) and we could recall Essien (though I have a feeling he is also injured???).

Bad news for the lad but I think we should be able to cope. Might see more of Oscar playing deep perhaps alongside say Ramieres.

 

Don't forget we lose Mikel for ACoN. That will just leave Lamps. Rafa has 2 games to try Luiz or Oscar there. Paizon is more suited than Oscar though but he's not ideal either.

 

With JT back I'd feel a whole lot better with Luiz moving up to the midfield!

 

I believe George Saville is the one promoted as temp DM. He is the one in Japan right now.

 

Df --I've only caught a few glimpses of Saville in the under -21's on CTV! I've never had to think about those guys coming to the rescue for the first team many times before--but he in particular is well spoken about! Lets hope it turns out we give a debut to a new future superstar!

 

Letting Meireles/Essien go was a terrible mistake. Shove Luiz there please FSW!

 

We will have to play David Luiz in centre midfield alongside Ramires and play Ivanovic as a centre back.

-----------------Cech--------------
Azpilicueta---Ivanovic---Cahill---Cole
---------Ramires---David Luiz-------
----Oscar------Mata-----Hazard----
----------------Torres--------------

Subs: Turnbull, Ferreira, Bertrand, Marin, Moses, Piazon, Sturridge

 

Whatever is decided, lets hope out of adversity a youngster takes his chance and stands up.

 

I for one can live with that!

 

George Saville has been called into the squad btw guys. Doubt he'll play but he's probably our last know reserve not on loan.

 

In training do you think he has to just kick a ball against a wall cos there is no one else to play with?!!?

 

Probably just plays FIFA instead.

 

Is there an echo in here?

 

Oh...awkward.

 

We need to make a very crucial and correct decision about who to get to transform our midfield and striker for the future. We probably have enough quality to gain top 4 as it stands IF we are managed correctly, but we need to change our midfield approach to challenge for top honours next season. Do we still own Benayoun ?????

 

no thanks

 

Not forever Drogs, just to help us out while Rafas here !!!!!
Don't know anything about George Saville, any info ????

 

I've seen Saville once or twice for the youth team, bit of a fireball and never stops running. Can't see him actually playing any games though tbh now Lamps is back and FSW is willing to play Luiz in the middle.
