**Summer Transfer Thread: News, Rumours and Speculation**

You see I see that the other way round :D

I see Essien as much more "comfortable" when he's playing a little deeper, and I've always felt he looked a little unnatural or awkward playing in the final third. Mikel, sorry but is a very very average player in my eyes.

I agree he's not in the Claude role, but I think he's defiantly a better defensive mid then he is attacking.

I didn't say where i think he's best. I simply said that he's very rarely played as a defensive midfielder.

He didn't do it at Lyon and since joining Chelsea he's had Makelele, Mikel or Ballack sitting behind him.

Makelele was a brilliant defensive mid, he's playing in the french league at the moment isn't he ? forgot which team.

Mikel, is ****.

Ballack, is a good player, maybe a bit past it, but still a good player.
I look at Essien as a defensive midfielder.
 
hence he thinks your talking crap!

seriously tho, i dont care that we dont share the same views. Just wish i could change yours!

could have said he disagrees which is a bit more polite.
I say I disagree with someone.

Nope, I don't care that we don't agree on things. Makes for better convo then touching each other over how amazing Macheda and Welbeck are ;)
 
Not a word from us on any type of transfer. Getting worried. :(

The start of pre-season training isn't exactly far away. Hasn't Levy learnt from last year? We don't want to end up with another Frazier Campbell.
 
I haven't read anything else, but if you REALLY believe that Gattuso is not a Defensive Midfielder then seriously....

Its just the position he's played for AC has been gradually pushed further upfield. I do realise if you to sign him, he would be signed first and foremost as a DM.
