Our midfield 2015/16

[Cisse]

With the sad decision that stevie will be leaving us what would be your prefered new line-up in 2015/16. It's not all doom and gloom with Hendo, Can, Allen and hopefully Rossiter as a local lad coming through. I've listed 15 of the games best DM/CM players who could be available in the summer. If you could choose 1 or 2 who would you go for...

 

Wanyama L Bender Schneiderlin Xhaka Sven Bender Gustavo Kondogbia Witsel Gonalons Iturraspe Cabaye Kovecic Carvalho Krychowiak Alex Song

 

[New York Red]

I saw Kondogbia once and thought he was fantastic. I really like Witsel too - a scrappy battler pretty well suited to the Premier League I thought.

[épieur]

Witsel is a thug. Bad egg.

[The Hitman]

Sounds great.

[Ibby]

Don't trust our current set up to find the right player at all and even if they do you have the clown ayre there to f*** up the negotiations

[RedSalmon]

Busy people. I like Joe Allen. He gets in peoples faces. Disruption in that part of the field. Henderson, Lucas and Can have this attribute. Terriers nipping at ankles giving no time on the ball. Those are the type of players we need at the base of a 2/1 triangle in midfield. Add to that players coming through the youth set up. That is what we'll see imo.

 

We need competition for Mignolet. I'm not sure spending money on a forward is going to happen in the strategy of things with Origi and possibly Ibe returning next season.

If Rodgers wants a quarterback get him a quarterback, and not convert one of the greatest box to box midfielders ever to a quarterback.

 

Who's there who's young who can fill this role?

 

Marco Veratti?

 

Add him and Pogba to next year and our squad goes from zero to hero.

[DJS]

Pogba is a pipe dream. No chance in hell we'd get him. Firstly, our owners don't do established world class signings. Secondly, if he was available, Real Madrid, Chelsea & City would all be ready to chuck fortunes at Juventus and pay him £250k p/w.

 

In summary, dream on.

 

 

We'll end up with someone like Delph.

[baja the hut]

I will..thanks...it's not like Pogba fits with our current signing strategy.

 

It's merely a way to win the league.

[DJS]

I'm with you, I'd love to get Pogba. It's just light years away from what we do.

[Red Yoda]

There's a young central midfielder who has lots of talent, Ruben Neves , excellent passer too, but he is very young.

He is defo available.

[Conrad]

he was available last summer. That was our chance to buy him.

[RedHarvest]

As he's still a Juve player we still have a chance to buy him, it just takes the will and the determination as well as the money.

Of course I share your cynicism about us actually pulling it off (Ayre) but I think there may be a slight glimmer of hope that JWH sees the light and realises we need a big statement to fill the Gerrard shaped hole in the club next season

Really? You do realise that whatever we agree, others will match (if for some reason they decide not to blow us out of the water) and then it's down to the player and he isn't coming here.

I do realise that. Was trying very very hard to look on the bright side

[DecidedByPoll]

The player we really need is Ignacio Camacho.

[Beardsley]

I wouldn't mind Wanyama. He's the kind of player you hate to play against.

 

A midfield of Hendo, Wanyama and Can will be great.

[Hassony]

a great is pushing it, a midfield of Xabi, Gerrard and Masch was great

 

and we really ought to stop buying players from Southamption

[Eskimo]

Lacks creativity imo...

 

Hendo and Can could work alongside a more creative CM at the head of the diamond.

[Murphman]

I'd take Mane, he looks a proper footballer.

[Flasher]

Best midfield three, ever.... Still dream about them. That three would still work now.
