What?
All last season we talked about not replacing Fabregas and Nasri with someone that can pick a pass and now you moan because he's trying to sign someone that can.
Baffled.
Different people have different viewpoints and priorities mate but mine has been the DM position for a few years now - I agree with those who say that we miss that special creativity that cesc brought to the team but I am a George Graham disciple so I believe that if you dont concede then you have a good chance of winning games so shoring up defensively is my priorityHope that has unbaffled it for you

For me, the creative side is what we lack on and not having someone that can pick a pass will make this season very much like last.
We do need a good DM, have done since Flamini left as none of the experiments since have really worked but if he don't buy one then you would hope (well I do) that and injury to Song in min 1 of the Sunderland game would allow Coquelin in, granted he's young but even at his young age I would feel safer with him there and think we could get through, I don't think we can last another year without someone of class pulling the strings.
We got lucky last year on that side but we won't be lucky again.
