IDK, playing under Mourinho is a whole different thing... Ozil struggled a lot even in a less physical league with Mourinho's tactics. So, Mourinho put him on the right side towards the end of his tenure, so Ozil wouldn't have to press that much and Mourinho wouldn't go Hazard on him. However, Mourinho started to bench Ozil quite a bit as well towards the end...

I think epl he can get his stats and do well individually and for the team. However, under Mourinho, I'm not sure he can last a full season in england.

He wakes up everyday looking at his Juan Mata poster, waiting for the perfect opportunity to bash Oscar.

Yes, the top level teams have good technical players, but not most teams. Go to La Liga and everyone in the league has technical players from top to bottom. You would think if the EPL was such a technical league that their national team would be as well...

I don't get this notion with needing space.. Unless, your Messi, everyone needs space... Especially, since in England, they play so compact in the middle. Mata needed space, Silva needs space, Ozil needs space, etc...

EPL is not a highly technical league.... Especially, for attackers. EPL is the league where your physical prowess can take you all the way...

LOL. EPL =highest technical league....

Thiago won't get dropped, unless it's concerns about injury.

Mata going to get dropped under Van Gaal.

So, hes going to replace Countinho now? 1. Sterling 2. Lallana 3. Countinho So much for coutinho being world class.

De Gea Rafael-Smalling-Evans/Jones-Shaw Jones/Fellaini-Carrick United are going to be really young next season in the back.

Costa might not have Zlatan technique, Henry speed, Messi's agility or Adriano's rocket shot, but he strikes fear to the opposing CBs, which would allow the others to flourish. We've been missing that for years... (that includes Drogba twilight years at Chelsea). I don't think we should expect him to be prolific, but moreso hardworking and strong. Good transfer at a good price. My only concern with him is how many cards/suspensions will follow...

I bet Eto goes to France....

There goes my dream for cavani.

And yet Mata was so called irreplaceable as well last season.....

Except for we beat PSG without hazard and Liverpool during their unbeaten run....

When Ronaldinho left Barcelona, messi was 5 seconds away from leaving Barcelona. Oscar is replaceable as is Hazard.

So many other people you can pick outside of Roman.....

David Marshall backup gk to Thibaut?? (In case we sell Cech)

Locker room leaders are very important. JT, Lampard, Cole, Cech are all on their last legs, than what? I'm not a Luiz fan, because I'v already stated multiple times how I think he's overrated at Chelsea. However, Luiz is the link imo in the locker room and the leader to the young brazilians. Losing him is more than just losing a backup player...

Losing Luiz is more than just losing just our 3rd cb/cm. Losing Luiz means losing our best locker room person, the connection between the foreigners and English, the leader of Brazilian Chelsea. Their definitely a stronger chance Oscar leaves if Luiz is dealt to Barcelona/PSG.

TBH, City does have the best squad, but unlike us/Liverpool, we haven't had to worry about injury so much...

Tottenham only drop one spot and one game loss from last season with Bale... That's not that bad, granted the better teams in the epl all improved (except United). Next season, I expect only City/Arsenal to challenge us and pending on United managerial appointment/signings.
