Costa is better. Michy will be better. Just no.

We need to force 4-2-4 with Fabregas and Kante on pivot. Imagine if that works out... Also, I think we need to transition to something like 4-3-2-1 (4-5-1) in defense (we all know Hazard won't track back that much): -------------- * defense * ----------------- ----- Willian - Fabregas - Kante ----- - second-striker ------------------------- ------------------------------------ Hazard - ----------------- Costa ----------------------

Please stop this crap about Oscar suddenly being good player because he will play at CM position. He needs to leave, for Chalobah's and RLC's sake. Yes, RLC won't ALWAYS play upfront. So some of you say that he will be good at CM? Let me tell you my opinion of which qualities good CM need to have, who plays with Kante: first of all and most important - good or at least solid passing and ball receiving/ball control. Second - some physical attributes, either good stamina, good body strength or speed. And this is assuming he plays with Kante, that's the only reason why passing and ball control is more important than running and tackling. And what does Oscar have? Decent dribbling, good stamina and is a solid (sliding) tackler. You think that's enough to even put him in same sentence with Fabregas? No way. Also, don't forget we have Willian in squad who will cover load of space, don't know why insisting on Oscar at CM that much.

It's all too quiet after those strong words from his agent. Hope Napoli won't give him new improved contract now when they have Juventus' money.

Now it's good enough for second - third place I think with this awful defense .

Didn't see much of him, but I think he is player type like Ramires. Right? Can somebody compare him and Ramires so we can see who is better in which area? Is he any good on the ball? I guess Ramires is faster and Kante has better positioning.

Selling Hazard, Willian, even Fabregas, is out of the question. FIRST task this summer is to keep our best players. Situation can get even worse, guys. Let's not fool ourselves. Selling Willian and getting Reus-Bale-like player is a dream. It may happen, with us offering tons of cash, but even then it's very unlikely. And yes... We sold Ramires, got nice sum of money. We can sell Oscar, even Matić. Why the hell Willian?

It's too quiet. I will be very disappointed and upset if this doesn't happen. Agree. Depth is problem. Oscar should leave and we should bring one quality back-up/first-team-contender for that money.

I don't know why in the world are we looking anymore if player is young or not. We have great kids in our school and loans. They just need chance. Age should not be parameter anymore! Bring Benatia, bring someone 25+. And give our young lads a chance. Zouma, Miazga, Christensen. We don't need more.

Next best thing after Pogba. I initially wanted Gundogan, but think now I want Nianggolan more, after all those Atletico mouth-watering defensive masterpieces. Not a spectacular signing? We don't need spectacular. We still have Costa, Hazard, Fabregas, Willian and Pedro as a good back up, to do spectacular things. We need SOLID. Hope this will be done soon. We are moving in the right direction.

Fun fact is that Belgium is in group with Italy. Live audition for Conte. Don't choke, Eden... (assuming that he plays at all.)

Stop saying "we let our legend go for you, play as you should!" That's our fuckin' problem, not his.

We started our preseason (or postseason) earlier. We are shit when all our players are available, no wonder of this result.

Ok, but with all said, I'm am still not convicted that that guy is SUCH a big upgrade on Cesc. And if he is going to come, Fabregas must be sold. So don't know, I would firstly like to add some "Vidals and Nianggolans" in our team, and than maybe think about Fabregas replacement.

You think Pjanić is much different and better than Fabregas?

The real question is: would you like him alongside Matić, with Fabregas too, in 4-3-3? Or 4-2-3-1 with Fabregas - Radja at pivot? In case of 4-3-3 Matić-Radja-Fabregas, YES, it will be important for him to add some goals/assists. Why? We already have Matić who REALLY is defensive midfielder (not b2b like Radja) and who adds close to nothing upfront. Matić - Radja would be something like Essien - Ballack. But Ballack is whole other dimension compared to Matić in terms of scoring.

Hazard and RLC must play. For rest I don't care.

One UCL, one Premier league, Europa league, two domestic cups. I think he is actually really happy with what he achieved and with the part he played in most of this trophies. He won it all. And I don't think he has so much confidence to play at top level for long. So, that move kinda makes sense. Thank you and good luck!

I don't think he should play in pivot alongside Matić/Mikel anymore. He is better now, but he has more protection. He needs to have two midfielders with him who are both more defensively suited than him. Best option in 4-3-3 with one box-to-box, one holder and him. Second best option - 4-2-3-1 with Fabregas at #10, and whoever can play behind.

Pato transfer makes some sense maybe, but this really doesn't. Lavezzi is nothing like striker, and if we buy Pato, we will be overfilled on some positions. (Hazard, Willian, Oscar, Pedro, Kenedy, Pato, Lavezzi, even Traore all competing for three places)

This guy is also really cheap. He is 30 millions euros reign.

Please let it be true, PLEASE!

Also, Ozil was 25 when he signed for Arsenal, Pedro 28 when he got here. Even if he manages somehow to make it here, years would fuck him up soon. I have little to nothing hope of Pedro making it.

I think he may say only in which position we need to strengthen, but yes, not who to bring.

Yes, to be Barcelona/Real/Bayern, top-of-the-world level. I, personally, would be happy with level slightly below these 3, with the team who has potential to be THAT level in upcoming years (with young guys like Zouma, Courtois, Hazard and some other new youngsters etc.) In other words - let's first get a team which can win us a Premier League.
