Anyone think Javi Martinez ought to be looked into.. Not sure what skill-set he offers though, Can anyone enlighten me?

Technically gifted passing central mid ball winner, happy at defensive mid or centre back. in fact spent of last season at centre back. Would cost 30m

Would he be someone who can fulfill the role in a double pivot in a 4-2-3-1 beside a destroyer?

I don't think so, after seeing Mikel grow into that role in midfield i think we should back him. And as a centre back we have many already. If a great player though no doubt about that.

Yeah I was under the impression he could form the primary link between a defence and attack in a 4-2-3-1 playing beside a 'destroyer' like Mikel in the double pivot.

On another note, it looks highly unlikely that Croatia will progress beyond the group stages so the Modric saga could be reaching us even sooner :)

I think this will all depend on how Chelsea want to use Lampard next season. From Di Matteo's reign onwards Lamps was playing a Modric type role for us and looked supurb there. It is also a role i believe McEachran would flourish in so why sign Modric if we can have Lamps do the role for a little longer with Josh taking over in the future.

I dont think Lampard has more than a season left mate. Not with us anyway. I think we will keep him for a season, and then probably sell him or bench him, but now point of benching him tbf as he is one of the highest paid players at Chelsea. Point is, Josh cant get ready for just a season. He needs a lot of first team appearances in order to develop.

Because Modric>>>Lampard in that sort of role. Look I have no problems with Lampard playing that role but its time to phase Frank out. I saw we get Modric on a 5 year contract with Lampard covering for him. In the meantime develop Josh for that role.


Their is a chance that we could play Josh as cover for that role but I do not think he is ready for even that yet. Still very raw and in desparate need of games to develop further

I think Frank knows he can't be that box to box player anymore so limiting his game a bit like Scholes did can pro long his career. I think he could have 2 maybe even 3 more years left if he takes up that role, obviously playing less games as the seasons go on.
 
Also rumours that we are going to loan De Bruyne to Southampton next season. I am fine with any team as long as he gets games there

I agree Modric is much more advanced in that position but Frank is very expirienced and can play that role, it also stops us from splashing out another 40+ million which could be used elsewhere i.e sacking the next manager haha.
