No room for both. Unless you're one of the freaks who wants Cesc out of the line up.

Why not Luis and Zouma? I don't really care about today, more worried Jose will continue this next season. Imo both should be starters next campaign, want Jose to start testing it...

Its amazing that people still think Midfield is about power. Wake up, its not 2006 anymore, Ess-Maka-Lampard is not the way to go anymore in football. Koke-Matic-Cesc would be amazing, our chance to reduse the gap significantly from Bayern, Barcelona and Real. PSG for example got the midfield some of you want - Motta (Matic), Verrati (Cesc), Matudi (as the storng CM you want). With that midfield, PSG would never compete with Bayern and Barca. Its all about talent, touch on the ball, keeping possession and quick passing. It will be sad if we'll try to imitate our midfield from 2005+ cause will continue to park the bus against the top teams, and probably lose.

They also mention Koke as a 2nd choice if we can't get Pogba. I hope it's the other way around. Think Koke is better with the ball under pressure, and make quick passes. the fact he's Spanish and played against real and Barca made him used to massive press. Im not sure Pogba has it. And Koke is also much more a work-horse, would be perfect with Cesc and Matic imo. Pogba will score more goals and do more 'amazing' stuff everyone will talk about, but to me Koke is the better player over a full 90 minutes.

they're funny. Bayern, Real, Bacelona would never think about getting him now even for 30m pounds and so does Jose (imo), while PSG have other targets and City cant pay so much with FFP. So who the hell whould pay this money (close to Bale money like they said)? Real were stupid enough to pay 100m on Bale, they would never do it again for another over-hyped British. Sterling is not even hot or scores lots of goals.

You would actually go for Sterling for £50m? you know thats 70m euros today? i think you could get TWO players who are at the very least as talented as Sterling for that amount. But i guess we have completely different opinions about Sterling. I dont know a LFC fan who thinks Sterling worth more than 40-45 million Euros tbh.

Chris Bascombe, a very relible Telegrahp journalist when it comes to Liverpool says Liverpool puts a 50m Pounds price tag on Sterling. That will remove the intrest of everyone i assume, even City. But now the question remines how much Sterling wants the move... can he be even more a dick about it?

I think Nainggolan has a lot more football than you're claiming. He's far better and smarter than players like Mikel. Like i said in my posts, he's not a player we should aim as a starter, but i think every team would like to have him as a squad player.

"According to sources in England" Damn i didnt noticed it the first time i read... got excited Thats better... Atlético Madrid sporting director: "Club has decided to take back Oliver Torres & Alderweireld this summer."

If a member prefers Willian to Oscar, but want us to buy a right winger, i would expect him to say this- "We need a new winger to replace Willian, who needs to move to the center". Thats not what people say here, and when you see that the same people really dont want Oscar, it makes their opinion to be slightly unclear of what they really want. Off course i dont have a problem with members who prefers Oscar, thats not about them im asking about.

Right, but look at this topic for example- the talk is about replacing Willian, Or people just assume he'll move to the center insted of Oscar?

Im curious about something... it seems like the least loved player on here this days is Oscar, yet in the transfer window subjects most people talk about replacing Willian in our first eleven, not Oscar. Is it because you think we'll replace both (wouldnt happen) or most just prefers Oscar's contribution to Willian's? It seems to me like Willian is the player to stay in our line up right now. Question is where he'd play, continue in RW to have competition from Cuadrado, or move to CAM, than he'll have real competition from Oscar. In reality there's only one question - what Jose prefers? another falshy winger or a CAM/CM who would make us more dominant and fluid in midfield and would allow Cesc more chances to go up. We wont get both.

They won with 80 points. And in 30+ fixture we went to old traford when a win meant we're going on top. And im pretty sure it was the weakest Chelsea we've ever been since Roman came, we playerd awful. 10/11 was an awful season for european football in general. 3 of the 4 best teams from 09/10 went down hard (Inter, Chelsea, Bayern). And a poor Man u team got to the final, to lose easily to Barcelona.

I see Sterling a lot and i dont think his close control and his all around abilities with the ball are better than Fekir's and Brahimis's, and IMO its the other way around, but we'll agree to disagree i guess. And i really dont think Sterling is creative.

What?! KDB did absolutely nothing the all game, barely touched the ball in the first half. In the first half Hazard was your best player along with Nainggolan, was on the ball the all time, and gave some wonderfull balls. There wasnt any movement from your team so he couldnt do alot. * I dont see Hazard leaving in the next 3-4 seasons, so i dont get why we're talking about it.

KDB better than Ribery? lightyears ahead? you got to be kidding. I dont think Ribery is bitter, i think he's 100% right. In the end i think we'll all understand KDB isnt a world class talent, it will be very soon maybe. If some big team will sign him this summer, we'll see he needs the space to be affective, and he needs the team to be all around him (something that we'll never happen). But my guess is that no one will go for him, maybe City. The over-hyped kid of the moment, along with Kane.

Danilo and Carvajal are not average or shit, and Azpi is not light years better than them. I would say all three are about the same level and all three are one of the top 5-6 RBs in Europe. There arent that many great RBs or LBs to be so picky, just saying. I dont like it when a young talented player makes his move to a big club who already have a good player in his spot. But from Real point of view its gives them some real depth (like the Coentrao signing), and im not sure Carvajal would stay as the 1st RB in the end of next season. Danilo is more athletic, strong and explosive, and also has good technics like Carvajal.

Would prefer Fekir or Brahimi a lot more than him, they're far more talented imo. Thats in case we're not going for Koke.

Natural talent, players with great ball control, quick passers, thats what makes you the best this days. The 3 best teams right now got this. We have magic but we need more if we want to domiante games more comfortably.

Really dont think its the player we need... although he's a great player. Koke, Isco, Pogba... thats the kind of players we need to get to midfield. More magic will get us forword not more power.

Although i dont see every game of Belgium, I got to admit i never seen them playing really well. But today was different, they really lacked character, experience and a normal manager. Couldnt believe they brought themselves to this situation... typical Kompany for this red card i would say, what a captain. Our players did everything they could, we're not good enough to create many chances so i cant really complain... we needed luck so one of those messes in the box will be converted for a goal but it didnt happen. Belgium deserved to concede.

Wow Kompany is such a dick with that shot from long after bouncing the ball on his knee (like ten minutes in the game)... never seen anything like that. And he's the captain, thats Man City for you i guess. Should have been 3-0. Hazard is doing whatever he wants.

Wow, surprised someone here remembers him. It's gonna be awesome for Belgium, i agree.

lucky... thats you?

I cant believe real football fans can think its even possible. For a lot of fans goals is almost everything, and I think its shocking, like they watch a different sport. Kane has been more talked about than Hazard in 2015, doesnt mean he was better or even close to hazard's standarts. Nobody really thought Kane would be this good, he didnt even started for spurs early in the season, a big part of the huge hype is the surprise he's doing those things. Nobody is surprised by Hazard.
