Just what we need, a centre midfielder who can destroy teams with one pass. He was excellent and I can't understand why Real got rid. Did you see that mad trick to put motta in ( I think) Class!!

Inter fouled, obstructed, fell over, feigned injury, obstructed free kicks,every member of the team with one object in mind. Break up Chelsea's play and frustrate them. When they get desperate, pick them off.Totally negatedChelsea's physical power. Made them look like schoolboys.

people would HATE Snejder in City over the time. One of the best in the world when he wants to be, like last night when he was bossing Chelsea almost alone BUT he blows hot and cold all the time and isn't exactly big trier.
We desperately need a playmaker but our real weakness right now is dealing with teams that come at us aggressively. We need Gerrard/Lampard type all action hero. Problem is, they are rare breed and don't exactly grow on trees. If a team has one, they aren't going to give up without a fight.
In a hindsight we should've gone all guns blazing after Xabi Alonso.

I don't disagree with the sentiments as to who we should have gone after but fact is, we had zero chance of getting Alonso if we are realistic.
I also don't disagree that a Gerrard/Lampard figure would be ideal and would also liberate us from the need to play a De Jong type alongside a "schemer" who might be deficient in some ways (be that an Elano type who offers no defensive qualities, a Sneijder type who you say blows hot and cold, an Ireland type who is just out of form or a Barry type who is being shackled offensively and who is certainly not the real top quality picker of passes to unlock defenses that the schemer should be).
So, until we can find Lampard Mk II I would be happy if we could (for games where we should go at the opposition) find a dynamic central midfielder (basically Ireland last year) and I would play him alongside Barry and drop De Jong and take most of our offensive play either down the flanks or through the middle with Tevez dropping deep to cause havoc in the opposition's midfield and "Ireland" and/or Barry going beyond him into the space.
I would like Ireland back to form....and him to stay. If those issues cannot be resolved then either get another of his type or recruit Sneijder, Joe Cole or someone similar and accept that they will blow hot and cold and only play them when they are in form
