William Carvalho

Very composed on the ball, played some nice balls directly to his man and looks mobile.
You'd think that now he's available on a free, we'd be waiting outside his hotel room door with a decent contract... Then this is Sullivan's West Ham.

Sporting must have lost over a £100 million in talent. And we thought our owners are tosser’s.

I'd like to see us get the both of them. That would be some central midfield.

Dean Ashton thought he was "excellent" at the World Cup, thinks we should get him instead of Wilshire.
Also thinks we need two players in the midfield.

Oh fuck off Northern.
I like your posts and you are a very decent member on here.
But to say it's not difficult to do what he does at the very highest level is just frankly fucking ridiculous.
If it's not difficult then why don't you play his position for England then?

To be honestly, frighteningly his passing is the least of our worries if he's playing that role.

Can't remember the exact game, just remember laughing and posting about it.
He probably won a few aerial duels, if that makes you feel any better.

Again torn
But if his role was to chase the ball, win the ball and get it to a creative player, are 30 yard passes and long shots the most important things. It would nice to have midfielders with a bigger skill set but we can't replace everyone.
So is he the one we can get to do a decent to good job in specific role, if a better passing central midfielder came in?
This all being said with me wishing that it was Noble of our current players that stays in there.

You cannot transform someones football brain.
He has an engine, and he's good in the air, but most of the time he looks completely lost on a football pitch. Someone mentioned his 'long range thunderbolt' against Swansea - I would be genuinely stunned and will doff my cap if anyone can find footage of him hitting another long range shot on target. Or finding a teammate with a 30 yard pass.
The only thing he should be doing in that stadium is the high jump.

Really torn actually on whether Kouyate could fulfil the ball-chasing role in a midfield two.
Players can be transformed as we saw with Moyes of all people and Arnautovic.
He certainly has most of the tools but I look his situational awareness compared to Carvalho (to be a bit unfair) and wonder if he is going to make the wrong decision too many times.

Kouyate was a decent player a few seasons ago but like Diame before him, he went off the boil.
It’s very rare that we’ll be able to get a player as good as Payet. You can’t just pop into Tesco and pick up a couple.

Surely, you realise that having a great free kick helps a team well beyond just the goal stat. Think Ogbonna against Liverpool and Reid against Man United, off the top of my head, and also it goes beyond stats of any kind.
But with the 12 goals thing you are making my point about Anderson not being in the Payet mould. I think he will be part a system that relies on control of the midfield a lot more that that season did. So that might be problem even if the current players there reach the same level.

Because there's no need, he's a decent enough passer.
You could always look up their passing stats. My favourite in one game last season, Kouyate made 13 completed passes. From central midfield, THIRTEEN.
That takes some doing, especially considering he never passes more that 5 yards.
