    He gets forward too much to be a true DM, like Beefy said.

    I am very, very happy with this!!

    I always sign him in FM/FIFA for saints and he blossoms into a great player... He is still young enough to improve, and is already a solid, solid CM. He has similar attributes to Morgan, keeps things simple on the ball.
    This could turn into an absolute steal. It's also exactly what we need - cover for Vic. Chuffed.

    Hopefully this will lead to a midfield of Romeu alongside Wanyama with Clasie pushed further forward.

    I'm no sure it is cover; remember we played Vic and Morgan whenever we could over the last couple of seasons... I think we'll see them playing together a lot.

    Good point. I was assuming clasie-vic behind davis would be this season's three.
    This gives us serious options now though, with Reed and JWP still available too.

    AS Tom mentioned above, I believe Clasie will sit in front of those two, charging up and down like an obsessed Dutch lunatic who has had his favourite Clogs stolen and he is determined to track and chase anyone who may have them.

    If we sign Van Dijk, we will have a CB who can also play DM playing behind Romeu, who is a DM who can also play CB. I love the thought of the extra flexibility this will give us.

    O Romeu, Romeu! Wherefore art thou Romeu?
    Deny thy manager and sign thy name.
    Or, if thou wilt not, be but worth our fee,
    And You’ll no longer be a Chelsea player.

    Apologies to Bill Shakespeare

    May also be prone to a break down or three.

    So long as we don't make them our second favourite team. Too many Chelsea fans (glory hunters) in our area to like them.
