Its not disrespectful at all! its the harsh reality! Courtois is clearly the better GK! and will be the number 1 next season! your just letting your obvious bias towards Cech cloud what is so so obvious.

Cech the 2nd choice goalkeeper???

I agree 100%. Longevity is overrated if there is someone who is clearly better suited for the role, you give them the armband. We dont have many true leaders like JT, if we sign a true leader like the ones you mentioned it becomes a no brainer really.

Not sure why anyone wants him here? It makes no sense at all selling players like Mata and KdB because they dont suit our counter attacking style and sign Fabregas who has no pace! Matic can do what Fabregas can do plus defend! we need a dynamic box to box midfielder next to Matic not someone like Fabregas! if we were to sign him with the intention of playing him as a number 10 that would make a bit more sense, but still wouldn't be a necessary signing.

LOL! you do realize the kid is 22 years old! its perfectly normal for a player that age to go through spells of inconsistent form! every player does, Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta ect all went through spells of inconsistent form! at the end of the day Oscar is still developing, and if his season was around the other way, (if he started off bad in the 1st half and was our best player in the 2nd half of the season) then no one would be questioning Oscar.

how do you know that Kalas, Omeruo & Christensen wont get loaned out? because that is what most likely will happen if we sign another CB.

The fact that you would compare us from last season to Jupp's Bayern team is just laughable! also Toni Kroos's role in that Bayern team was very very different to Oscar's role! 2012/13 season where Kroos played more as a number 10 got 9 goals and 8 Assists. Oscar in the same season played out of position on the right wing in his first season in the a new team, a new league and a new country at such a young age and got 10 goals and 6 assists. but yeah according to you Kroos is way better right? and at the age of 24 Kroos hasn't really kicked on much at all! there hasn't been a massive improvement in his game in the last few years! Kroos is almost 2 years older then Oscar and imo Oscar is already the better player!

I disagree, he is still young and developing his game, I think He just isn't as direct in the final third as most other number 10's. He tends to play the safer pass rather then look to play it through to the striker, people forget this is his first season at the highest level as a number 10, I have no doubt he can become the best number 10 in world football! As it's clear to see how much of a intelligent footballer he is at such a young age.

So you don't think Oscar is a better goal scorer then Kroos?

I watch him play almost every week! He is nice to watch when he is given all the time in the world to pick a pass but when he doesn't have time he struggles! And yes Oscar is a better creative player in the final 3rd especially when you don't get much time on the ball! Both have 6 assists this season! Which is pretty poor for Kroos who actually has good finishers around him to assist! and Oscar has made more key passes then Kroos! Again which is pretty shocking when you factor in how dominant and easy games are for Bayern and how much time he gets on the ball to pick out a pass!

please explain how on earth Kroos is an upgrade on Oscar? first off they dont even play the same position! Oscar is a much much better goalscorer, much better defensively, suits a counter attacking system much better, links play in the final third better, better creativity in the final third and has much better potential then Kroos.

LOL how on earth is Kroos an upgrade on Oscar???

I agree, That's the thing if he is rushed back, he may never fully recover. but if he comes back and has a good World Cup I think he will have a very successful career! thats what i said earlier if he does well at the World Cup i can see us definitely bidding for him.

stop comparing him to Torres! yes the situation is some what similar but Falcao is a very different player to Torres! Falcao doesn't rely on explosive acceleration and pace like Torres did, Falcao has more to his game and is much better technically then Torres ever was. Ronaldo suffered a horrible injury and when he came back he lost some pace and explosiveness but he never solely relied on his pace like Torres did so he was able to comeback and still have a great career after his terrible injury! I believe that is how Falcao will be, he will comeback and still be a class and clinical finisher.

Monaco would definitely sell him as they need the money to go towards complying with FFP and they have Berbatov, Germain and Riviere, If Falcao has a good World Cup i could definitely see us bidding for him.

Hazard player of the year Torres v Bayern Goal of the season Simple.

The easiest team other then United who wont go through would be Barcelona, but i doubt they will even get through, so i dont mind who we get if Barca and Manure go out!

2009 Final: Italy, 2010 Champion: Inter Milan 2010 Final: Spain, 2011 Champion: Barcelona 2011 Final: England, 2012 Champion: Chelsea 2012 Final: Germany, 2013 Champion: Bayern 2013 Final: England, 2014 Champion: ?

LOL how will Torres stop any of our other players from scoring??? didn't we put 3 past Stoke and a further 4 past Arsenal when Torres was on the pitch?

1. Hazard 2. Azpilicueta 3. Willian

LOOL! so have you finally got over him now?

I heard Carragher said Luiz and Matic were like Petit and Vieira last night!

Oh really!

No you said City were unbeatable at Home! and that City would score at least 2 past us!

I thought City were unbeatable at home? and Chelsea were only going to defend and not attack? When are people going to learn?
