Give this man a fucking rest! Be grateful for what he has done so far for this club...i am sure he knows how to get in shape when it really matters. Hazard is never ever injured, a modern gladiator needs time off, his holidays are as always way to short. There are much bigger problems than pointing the finger in July at EDEN HAZARD! No offense...

Götze:"i like chinese food, especially sushi." Interview with Xinhua

What a brilliant signing that would be.... Bayern will try everything to get this genius, so Guardiola can stick it to Mourinho...

Götze has to be the number 10, then he goes bananas.... I still remember the foul from Ramires, his injury record isn't that good? What will a guy like Shawcross do to him? I don't think that Bayern Munich is going to offload him yet, his potential is huge, some people keep telling that he is the best german football player since Lothar Matthäus...

Do you think that after Oscar participate in a preseason he becomes worldclass? What will happen when the Copa America 2016 takes place? Oscar will play in that tournament, therefore he can't get a full preseason, will he be mediocre again? In some games in the second half of the season Oscar offered nothing to the team, therefore Mourinho had to take him off early. That's not normal! Does Mourinho really trust Oscar in the big away games? Oscar is a high potential, but he has to show it more often, today he is inconsistent as fuck and after Christmas he fades away... If Oscar doesn't improve and Pedro joins the team, i hope Loftus-Cheek can take his spot.

I would never hurt anyone just because he doesn't live up to his potential, that's wrong, sorry! If Oscar can't cut it here next season, then no one with a brain is going to pay >£40 for the Brazilian. Allegri is coming with big pockets, after the sale of Vidal he has money to burn and he is clearly looking for a number 10... Weighing up the pros and cons, there is a decision to be taken care of. On his day Oscar is a brilliant player, that should be taken into consideration, but after the winter he is less the player he once was. For example his assist against ManUnited was a brilliant piece of work, but in a lot of the games, when the team needs him the most, he fades away...with all due respect, Fabregas knows those problems himself... I like Oscars shooting technique, but he has to use that gift more often. It reminds me a little of Kroos, who is also a master of squandering that ability. Mourinho has confirmed, that he is looking for a new midfielder. If it is possible, i would like to have someone like Koke and Oscar both in the squad, but that doesn't come cheap. It depends on the system, the money and who Mourinho trusts. We all know that the Portuguese is one of the smartest guys in the business and you can't out think him. If a big offer is on the table, i can't predict his decision!

Stones would be a great addition to the squad. Varane seems impossible, but Stones and Zouma could be one hell of a partnership. His price tag is huge, but with only 21 years of age he has years to come and he is English. That doesn't beat down the price either.^^ He has proven himself in the League and brings everything to table to become a world class center back. Get it done!

Pele had once labelled Robinho as his successor, therefore he isn't always right. What do you think of Hamann? Before the second game Bayern Munich vs. Porto he predicted an easy win for Porto. You don't need to be a great player to analyse the game. There are other qualities needed. You don't know if some people are working for a club, so please stop calling people freshmen... In the end everyone is entitled to have their own opinions. If you can't stand it, maybe this forum isn't the right place for you... Next season Oscar has to man up. The missing pre-season is the silver lining for his supporters, we'll see. I for one am very sceptical about his abilities to get the job done in the Big Games!

I like most of the posts from didierforever! I think he has got good football knowledge and he knows how to justify his opinion; if necessary he grudges no pains bringing statistics to the table...he never ever gives up and is almost always interfering. Starting an argument with this dude is gonna get tough! You can't bring a knife to a gunfight... I strongly recommend him not to change his attitude. I am looking forward to an argument in the future, maybe my dislike of Reus will be enough, lol.

That's a big signing! Congratulations Van Gaal! He is going to strengthen their squad immensely. Yes, he is injury prone, but he is also the captain of the world cup winning squad, he is the man who almost won every fucking title. Bastian is a great character and leader, he gives them identity. Van Gaal knows what he is doing! Bastian is not well suited to the tiki taka and the high pressing, but in England he is allowed way more space and without high pressure, he is able to pick up the ball from their defence and dictate the play. Depay, Schweinsteiger, Darmian, next a CB and maybe one or two others, great business, good for the competition, no wonder, why Mourinho is going mental. Arsenal is getting stronger and stronger, Liverpool too, City is going to spend big money, United has already done great signings, the competition is heating up. Especially Liverpool with Firmino....Coutinho...Sterling and Ings upfront is one hell of a strike force. I say this every year, but the upcoming season has to be one of the best ever.

I don't think that Begovic is going to come. He wants to be the Nr.1 Keeper. Chelsea can't offer him that.

Do you prefer this one? Hazard-Willian-Cuadrado

Not bad, i give you that! But i compare him with Eden Hazard because he is playing on the left wing too. I prefer Eden all day long! In my opinion Arsenal is overrated. When was the last time they won an important match against a big opponent in Europe? All they do is crashing out early and winning their 4th place trophy. Every year Wenger is laughing all the way to the bank....

Please name me one player from Arsenal's starting eleven who is better than Chelsea's? Maybe their depth is better, but that's all. Just my opinion.

I don't want to slow down Bamford's development. In my point of view it's the hardest position to play. You have to cope with the pressure if things doesn't go your way, being mentally strong is fundamental. I would like to give him more time to develop. The most important thing for such a young guy is playing time to gain more experience. He hasn't even played one Premier-League game! How serious is Costa's injury? Will he miss 4 weeks or months? I don't know.... Remy is injury prone, yeah i give you that, but at the moment he is fit. If we buy one more striker, i prefer an experienced one, we are good to go, except Costa is going to miss the first half of the season? Cuadrado can also play as a striker...

Bamford: "I'd like to think that I'd be able to compete [for a place in the team] but honestly I think I'd benefit most from playing. "Going back and sitting on the bench now after having two good seasons wouldn't really help me and it's up to the people at the top at Chelsea to decide what will be best and what career plan I'll have for this next year. "I'll just have to play it by ear and see what they say." At the moment he needs more time to improve, so we should loan him again....

...................Guv'nor......... ..Hazard....Fabregas.....Willian .........Pogba............Matic......... Luis.....Terry.........Ivanovic......Dave ..................Courtois...... I don't need much. We need more goals from midfield! Otherwise Koke would be great too. Verratti is my favourite, but PSG won't sell. How would Kondogbia fit in? He was great in CL, the defense would be rock solid with him.

I think the result isn't fair. In my point of view Paul Pogba should have been awarded a penalty when he was brought down in the box. Furthermore the referee refused to give a freekick some minutes ago. Apart from that i congratulate Barcelona for winning everything this season Their triumphal procession in the second half of the season was pretty impressive. I didn't see that coming...

He can be our new Paulo Ferreira, but I am not sure, if he is happy on the bench... :confused: He gets the job done: top class backup! I don't want him to leave...

Is Hamsik that good? I have heard rumours that in the last years he really regressed. After the loss of Cavani and Lavezzi he is a complete different player. Maybe some guys who are watching the Italian league closely have an answer.

That's my opinion, i never said it was a fact! Sorry, you have actually got it wrong! Reus has the abilites to be a worldclass player, that's a fact, i don't think you would disagree on that one, would you? For me passing a test is a complete different thing than avoiding it. If you participate in a test, you will be under huge pressure, because of the investigator who is looking to fail you. Reus decided to take the easy way out and skipped it. Coward! Why didn't he hire a driver, when his unable to pass it?! For me he showed with that horrible decision what kind of a person he is. Driving without a license is a fellany; if a person is willingly committing a crime and endangering his environment, then you have to question his personality. Moreover these guys are role models for the children... Sometimes every professional player has a bad game, even Messi can't always decide tight games, for example the world cup final against Germany. You said it yourself, Costa decided some of the big games. In my point of view (not a fact) the performances of Reus in the big games were often poor. When was the last time he single handedly won a big game for his team and progressed in the competition? Yeah in the Champions-League final he won the penalty, that performance wasn't that bad. I agree with you on that one! My bad, sorry. But in two german cup finals, he was very poor in my view, of course that's not a fact. You can't rely too much on your team, i demand from a star player like Reus that he steps up and takes responsibility in the big games. Hazard does it time and time again. So does Griezmann. You said it yourself, in the past he has had injury problems. Furthermore he is 2 years older than Griezmann. I still prefer Griezmann, because he did a great job in Spain.

So sad that he wasn't able to finish his career at Chelsea. He is one of my favourite players ever, our engine in midfield and so likeable. The goal against Barcelona was spectacular, at the time i got the flu, but despite headache i was cheering so loud, unbelievable. I try to honour him by using his name, he will never be forgotten!

The season before wasn't great either. Especially in the first half of the season 2013/2014 he was poor. Look at his finishing, he wasted a lot chances. He is an opportunity killer! The second half of the season 2013/2014 he was better. Even though the first game against Real Madrid was abysmal, yeah the second one was pretty good. In my point of view Reus isn't a big game player. He was poor in the Champions-League final against Bayern Munich, he continued to be poor against Bayern Munich in the DFB cup final and this year, he was disastrous against Wolfsburg in the cup final. At the biggest stage, he can't handle the pressure and isn't able to lead his team to glory. That's a generell problem for him. He failed to accomplish the test for his driving license. He is afraid and handles the pressure not very well, he admitted to that in the past! Griezmann isn't that sensible. He consistently improves. I think he has what it takes to be a game changer. But do we really need Griezmann at Chelsea?! I don't think so because Mourinho likes Willian and despite the fact that he is a very good number 10, he will continue playing on the right side. Ivanovic is one of Mourinhos most trusted lieutenants and Willian is necessary to cover the space when he goes forward.

Reus had a very poor season. Please take a look at the game against Wolfsburg. He can't finish the game off. On the other hand Griezmann had a spectacular season. Yes, he can do better against Real Madrid in the Champions-League, but overall he isn't so injury prone and his potential is extraordinary. Reus development has regressed in the last years. I prefer Griezmann, even if he is more expensive than Reus!

Benteke is 5 years younger! I disagree with you, sorry. Apart from his injury problems, if he stays fit, he will destroy everything. He is solely responsible for Aston Villa avoiding the relegation. He scores the goals, after he had recovered from his injury his performances were outstanding. His holding up the ball is fantastic, Drogba-esque. He has tremendous potential, a prefer Benteke.
