I dunno, since Abramovic took over they've bought Ballack, Essien, Mikel, Duff, SWP, Robben, Malouda, Kalou and Deco who are all essentially midfielders or winger/midfielders, and tried to fit them into a midfield that already had Lampard and Cole. By contrast the only out-and-out strikers they've bought have been Drogba and (reluctantly) Shevchenko. Then Drogba is injured or goes to the African championships and they haven't got a decent front man and they wonder why."that's a bit of a myth- we've consistantly played 433 since mourinho arrived, and i don't think we've ever had more than six central midfielders at a time- no more than the two per position that most managers subscribe to."
Also, if you are genuinely playing 4-3-3 and you've got six central midfielders I make that six people competing for one place, not two.
