Pessimism

Agree, or alba in for hazard

A midfield of Ramires and Meireles is not good enough, they're both meh.

Ramires has great energy and stuff, but lacks quality and goals.

Meireles has decent passing (that's been overrated as all our other midfield players have shlt passing) but overall isn't that good.

TBK

All 3 are good IMO

Your opinion is biased, we've seen with our own eyes how that midfield combination doesn't work

Im not counting on us getting players like Hazard tbh. I think we will be getting players around the quality of Krasic, Cahill and co. So Alba would be the sort of quality of player I would expect. Don't think we are going to be able to get these stars until we are back at the top.

To start with

Cech won't be there next year with this speed
Bertrand no chance-we don't believe in home grown players
Hazard will go to Madrid
Torres-hope he score few goals otherwise he would be gone

I also think we rely on Mata way too much to create chances. I think we need another player in the first team that can create, and a passer. We also need some more options for back up, as we don't have any quality to bring on in games.

Madrid will get Hazard BK. It's blatant now, considering Barcelona have taken the lead in the race for Neymar.

And surely Courtious will be your keeper next season?

Courtois
Ivanovic Samba Terry Bertrand
Gotze Ramires Hazard
Sturridge Neymar Mata

Cech
Ivanovic Luiz Terry Cole
Ramires Romeu Moutinho
Hulk Sturridge Mata

Hazard overrated imo.

Would love

Cech (who miraculously rediscovers form)
Cole (ditto)
Terrry
Luiz (best player in our squad)
Ivanovic
Ramires
Moutinho
Neymar
Mata
Sturridge
Torres

For me it would be this team:
Cech
Van Der Weil, Luiz, Terry, Perera
Romeu, Ramires
Mata, Neymar
Sturridge, Torres
Mata and Neymar having free roles to influence the game at the right end.

Plan for Courtois is for him to go on loan next few seasons, and I still beleive if we play 4-2-3-1 there's no need for a 40-50m Modric. City often play with Barry and Touyre as the two deep midfielders, Madrid sometimes play with Khedira and Coentrao as the deep midfield 2 etc. It is not neccessary in a 4-2-3-1 for that player to come in. JNR - 3 good midfielders

Toure is world class. Ramires/Meireles isn't.

City have Aguero, Nasri, Silva and Balotelli. We have Sturridge, Mata, Torres and XXXXX.

It's not comparable

Also nice to see you write JNR instead of JnR

Ramires is our best mdifeleder.

I guess Mata could be a paly maker..

Cech

Cole Terry Luiz Ivanovic
Ramires Romeu
Neymar Mata Sturridge
Torres

I would have a 4-2-3-1, with the following team:

Cech

Ivanovic
Terry
Luiz
Cole

Romeu
Ramires

Hulk/new signing
Mata
Hazard

Torres/Sturridge..

End of 2012:

Cech
Azpi Cahill Terry Cole
Luiz Mikel
Moses Mata Hazard
Torres

(I think this is the team Rafa'd play if everyone was fit, not my best)
