Transfer thread

The thing is, Van De Beek isn't a creative midfielder, really. He can definitely play as a No.10, but his real role is to be a Dutch Dele - literally. His best attributes are his finishing, ghosting into spaces and acting almost as a second striker.

We already have that in Dele. So that's why I'm being facetious and saying I'd have him because he looks like Daws - truth is, I don't see a role for him here, honestly.

Looked pretty creative to me when we played Ajax.

But I was generalising I suppose in terms of needing a creative player. We are lacking I feel . Someone to come in and do what Eriksen used to when he was on song

We miss Ericksen and were always going to when he went, despite what some fans think he really was our driving force and until we can find a player who can offer us what he did we will have a hole in CM.

Not really - he's a creative attacking midfielder. We played Dele and Eriksen previously. I'd expect Dele and DvdB to be able to play similarly

I should add that Chelsea have signed some really good players but we don't know who's leaving yet, how the new players will settle and they could be very open at the back.

They've virtually bought a whole new team. That rarely works well, and hopefully won't for them either.

He'd be magnificent in a midfield 3 with Lo Celso and Højbjerg. He would also fit in both the 2 and 3 in a 4-2-3-1. Very versatile player.
