Creative Midfielder

With the Modric deal now seemingly dead.Who are we looking for to fill that playmaker position we so desperately need someone for now?

And i know everyone will say McEachran is good enough but the lad is only 18. You can't expect him to perform miracles.I'm all for him seeing more gametime this season but i don't think we should rely on him to be that creative spark that we need

So i really feel we need a new CM but the question is who?

McEachran!!! I don't buy into that "we need a tempo setter/creative midfielder" bull, Mikel and Lampard can do that!! The reason we have been woeful going forward is because our so called ex-wingers aka Malouda, Kalou, Anelka do not pose too much threat to the oppositions defence so they end up marking Torres/Drogba out of the game. With the emergence of Mata and return of Sturridge we will see a much more dynamic attack that will set Torres/Drogba/Lukaku free as these two(Mata and Sturridge) both have the ability to create and cause havoc for defenders and draw players away from the main striker. You will see. Meh...

I'd be exceptionally surprised if Meireles left us before tomorrow night.

They also said Luky was off to Stoke on loan even though it's against the rules

No we don't, McEachran can do that.

i do beleive it's not the end of the world if we don't get a midfielder, ut I'd prefer Modroc/Miereless to no-one

I would prefer McEachran as I believe he has the potential to be better than Modric or Meireles by january, nvm 2-3 years time.

I agree but AVB doesn't seem to have much faith in josh no appearances so far- must be waiting for us to be 3-0 up in a game
