Some speculation on signings here.

LAMPARD - MOUTINHO

TORRES - MALOUDA

-----FALCAO-----

Would you agree that this would be a good attacking line up?

Torres and Malouda wide but coming in field with your full backs overlapping.

I think you would need a Makalele type figure behind the midfield and don't think any of the players that you have can do that job well enough, but money is not a problem.
 
Depends on whether Modric is still a target

He used Moutinho as an attacking DM but would we need to sign Moutinho when Luiz could fill this role in my opinion

He also loves playing a runner (Belluschi) which would be Ramires and then there would be one more central position which would be Modric or Moutinho with Lampard and Essien rotating in with all 3

Problem is the front three , I hope he shows Malouda the door and gets a good young winger

Hulk costs too much and I would hope we would hijack Sanchez but looks unlikely

Wouldnt mind Hazard and or Coentrao to play wide

Torres to stay is the big question do the club take a hit to evolve or do we adapt
 
I agree with your Malouda comment, not someone I really rate, Torres is worth another season and you would still re-coup some of the money if he goes back to Spain.
 
Wasn't Malouda your star performer the season before last?

And now you want to bin him due to a dip in form? Harsh!

Agreed. He also had a really good start to the season last year. Still has a role to play IMO. Far too much footie manager type stuff on here like lets sell 10 players and buy 10 other 20 million plus players. Not gonna happen.

We still finished 2nd last year FFS.
 
Malouda has given us a total of 1 good season out of three. His problem is he slows us down when we attack and always comes inside which makes everything congested. I also think he is nearly as lazy as Anelka when he loses the ball and that wont be accepted by AVB from what I have read of the way he likes his team to play.

Malouda therefore is a luxury that wont fit into our team next season if we get the right players in as I dont think he is one of our best midfieldeers for a midfield 3 and plays too narrow to be one of our best attackers in a front 3
