(Not a rumour just a rant)

Surely I can't be the only one that thinks we need to play with two wingers? I go to every home game and think why the hell are we playing two holding midfield players! That Watford game was identical to our performances last season. boring! We should be playing to the strengths of the players we have there now, i.e play Barkley deeper with McCarthy and sack off Barry so he has the whole game ahead of him and can take on players, with Lukaku play the ball in front of him from either wing because he can't hold up a ball and his first touch is dreadful.
Does anyone else think the same? Also Ed's any transfer news? It's the same old Evans and Januzai link, we've just supposedly lost a transfer battle with Stoke so surely we must have an exciting player with some spark lined up? We need a number 10 similar to, I hate to say it but, Coutinho, Please Martinez!

I agree mate, 2 wingers are the best way to play, not only will it give us more pace on the left side but it allows more players to get into the box. For example, Lukaku often comes out to the left wing due to there being no one there as Barkley or Naismith or whoever that was supposed to be on the left wing has decided to go through the middle. With a natural wide player, Lukaku will not have to do this. And I agree on the number 10 issue as well. I know it's not fact by any means but the best playmakers seem to be the small and agile players that can see a pass. Barkley is not like this, Coutinho and Silva for example are very good in this position for these reasons. The left side needs sorting out as does the position behind the striker or imo, what should be behind our 2 strikers.

I'd get in a real centre half too, who can out jump most players and clear any crosses and who can lead the defence, we lack a leader who can bark at people and tell them what to do, steady Eddie (Jagielka) doesn't cut it for me as captain, I'd tell McCarthy to grow a pair of gonads, take the armband and drive us forward, he could be our number 8 but he's too quiet, wishful thinking though I guess!

I also feel as if Stones is going to leave but for £30m what do we expect?!
