Jose already cant find the defensive balance he wants with Oscar in the team, so Gotze? no way he'll go for him.
-
Left winger... we don't need a left winger....
Reus is a LW but everyone wants him here, the same with Alexis and Sterling.
There are very few top wingers with a strong left foot. Wingers with enough trickery and quickness could play both wings imo.

because roma dont have the money to buy, inter proposed a loan with an obligation to buy but fiorentina prevented that to happen
He's gone to Roma in the same conditions - loan with an obligation to buy.
From Di Marzio:
"5 million Euros for the loan, plus 15m for the right of a permanent deal that would become an obligation once he reach a certain number of appearances".
So if he's not getting seriously injured, he's gone.

Gotze: "Whatever happens, there's no question that I'm happy here, As for the rest we'll just have to wait and see, like I said on Tuesday."

The moment Jose will understand what he wants to do in the big games, and it wont involve Ramires and Mikel, it will all get better.
If Jose wants Cesc to stay as our DLP (where he should play), he should learn how to use Oscar/Willian in the #10 in a satisfying way for his defensive system. Right now with Ramires we're going nowhere.
Witsel or anyone like him would be a lot better than what we have in Mikel/Ramires, but:
A. Like you said, Cesc isnt so good in #10, but even more important Witsel-Matic pivot isnt creative enough in terms of passing and its too defensive (only four players in attack). For a season its ok, but for the future of this team? i dont think so.
B. To be honest, i just dont believe in that "XI for 'Easy' Games" / "XI for Big Games". The best XI should be the same in every situation. Thats a strong and balanced team. And Jose always had it in the past.
Now he constantly doing this rotation with Ramires-Oscar, but in Real, Inter or Chelsea 04-08, he always had an XI he trusts in every kind of game.
He doesnt have that because of Cesc's defensive weakness, so imo he needs to find the #10 who can complete Matic-Cesc. If he wont, i cant see us making a real development.
I strongly believe Jose saw this player in Pogba and Koke this summer, but it was impossible to get them. Right now i would say Willian is the best bet for this role (which would leave RW empty). Hopefully Oscar as well but it doesnt seem like he trusts him.

And because Bayern don't sell players since they are cunts. They rather let them sit on the bench or train with the amateurs for 4 years than selling them to another club. That is because they believe they would be perceived as weak and want to be seen as a buyer club not a seller club. And this will be their downfall as they can't offer competitive wages as soon as the new TV deal kicks in.
Wow someone here dont like Bayern....
Not selling players? Kroos, Mandzukic, Schweinsteiger, Gustavo... from the last few years.
"They rather let them sit on the bench or train with the amateurs for 4 years than selling them to another club" - we did the same to Malouda, Anelka and Alex.
Gotze btw, rejected Juventus (although they dont have the money for him anyway).

The root of most people's complaints here is because we've had a quiet window - which also bothers me because I wanted us to sign a CB and a CM and most people agree with me. Thing is those players we're talking about are for most of you squad depth players, not even players for our first team. Some of you want Vidal, Pogba and I don't know who else, but sorry, none of those guys will displace Cesc or Matic. Others want a WC RW - which I don't even want. So you believe we would be a completely different team with a player replacing Matic or Cesc, another replacement for the defense and maybe Reus? We are those three players away from winning everything?
Sorry, you guys don't make sense. It feels just frustration because there hasn't been any money splash.
Just about that, because i agree with everything - people who want Vidal want him to play next to Cesc and Matic, probably instead of Oscar. I believe Jose dont want to chance the system, at least in most games he likes to play with 3 AMs behind the striker and Vidal and Cesc are not AMs. About Pogba, I think Jose would've got him if he could, he's a talents who's yet to find his place on the football pitch imo, could be a like-for-like replacement for Oscar probably.
But, as long as we'll continue to see Ramires playing instead of Oscar, the questions will be asked. If you play with Ramires, why didnt you bring a better CM? Vidal is an example.
-
Im worried about central midfield a lot more than attacking midfield.
Signing someone like Witsel will also allow us to play him next to Matic and Cesc, that means more rotation between Willian, Hazard, Oscar.
-
They obviously thought otherwise since they spent nearly £40m on him.
Think he could easily be the #10 as long as the midfield pairing behind him is good enough. Schneiderlin and either of Schweinsteiger or Carrick as a pivot behind Mata would be class I think.
Who's they? Moyes and Ed Woodward? thats supposed to be a confirmation of Mata's abilities?
Fact is LVG isnt playing him there. He plays Depay who is strong and quick, can keep the ball under pressure in a crowded midfield.
-
I suppose I would too simply because Pedro is a natural wide player.
Kind of fucked up that Mata hasn't played in his best and natural position since he's gone there, really. He's a better player than Pedro in my opinion but will now probably be riding the bench.
Its not fucked up, Mata just cant be a #10 for any top team. Too slow and too weak. Its not only Jose with his "crazy demands"... i thought its clear by now.
-
Seems pretty obvious that he was who we wanted by just to save a few mil they went for Caudrado. Let this be a lesson for the club.
No. Cuadrado cost 27m Pounds, Shaktar wanted 35m Euros for Costa. The same price basically.
But im not rejecting the idea that buying Cuadrado instead of him was not for professional reasons, maybe (i hope) it was something with Shaktar not letting him leave.. they could be very hard in negotiating.
Also from Costa's words (after January) it doesnt seem like he was upset we didnt picked him, he kept talking about Jose and Chelsea the same way.
-
Kills me to see him playing so well for Bayern. Childish to say "I told you so", but i cant forget how 99% here just hated the thought of buying him without even knowing him, and i had to fight for him basically.
We're looking for that another AM for so long, trying so many players, and we missed this one. He would have been perfect, Hazard-Willian-Oscar-Costa, 4 AMs, terrific rotation.
Im not one of those who complaining after a random mistake, the club can make mistakes sometimes, but this one.. he wanted to play here and for Jose so much! every month he said something about us...

"If we wanna pay 15m for Rose why cant we pay it for Baba?!"
In 3, 2, 1....

The reason why we're still the best team in the country isn't because we have the best team, it's because we have Mourinho.
I think we still have the best team. We didnt improve our squad, but others didnt do enough to reach us imo (until now).
Arsenal should've signed a better Striker and a DM, they didnt. And they had enough opportunities to do it (Mandzukic/J.Martinez, Kondogbia/Schneiderlin).
City should've changed their Double Pivot, but they're staying with Toure-Fernandinho, and should've improved their defence, in a CB and LB.
United is a big question mark, many new players is never too good, but even in personnel i dont think they have enough to win PL. They lack this Hazard/Aguero/Sanchez player. Di Maria is gone, who knows maybe even De Gea. Have to get an experienced CB imo.
-
It reminds me of the Rooney saga in 2013 - British, Mourinho publicly speaks about it, and like with United my feeling is that Everton will not give up.
-
If Mourinho cant find a way to play Matic-Cesc-Oscar-Willian-Hazard in the big games, keep playing Ramires instead of Oscar, we'll continue to have a problem in those games.
Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it will go just ok, sometimes it will go bad. You cant really say what do we want to do in those line ups with Ramires... it just seems like an improvisation, a cheap solution, not like a strong team.
And Cesc is the main issue, not because of his quality, its not his fault, but because of his physics. If Cesc was strong and aggressive like Koke or Verratti, Mourinho would've played without Ramires. I am sure (Matic-X, Willian-Oscar-Hazard).
But our situation is that we cant play without Cesc, he is our creative force in central midfield, our DLP. And its also almost impossible to find a DLP in this level, we saw how much time we had to wait until we got Cesc.
So, Mourinho, who dont want to get a new CM, have to find a way with those five players, with Oscar-Matic-Cesc in the center. Our improvement as a team this season depends on that imo. Until he can solve this problem we'll be pretty much stuck in our evolution.

At least it's Ramires in a 4-3-3 and not on the wing or pivot
1. How can you possibly predict the formation? no one knows that.
2. Last season, he mostly played on the wing, letting Cesc to stay deep.
-
Ramires instead of Oscar for every big game, another season of that? please no....
-
No matter how much most of us dont rate him or dont think he's good enough for his quite big role at the club, it doesnt seem like we're getting a new CM so we have him.
On his good days, he proved to be influential when we play on counter-attacking.. lets hope he can have good performances.

It's like every single minute there is an update... juve, psg... now real?... cammon.
There's no "updates", a few sources are saying different things, most of them are just wrong obviously.
His agent says no deal yet.
“The news is not yet true," he told Sky Sports News HQ. "It is correct that Chelsea have made a very attractive offer to Augsburg but the club is yet to accept it.
"Of course Baba would like to take this opportunity and challenge.”
-
Di Marzio - Chelsea with a new offer of 20m Euros, Augsburg want 32m.
lol
Child's play for Chelsea. #Babaonboard #CFC

Bild. Juventus moved out but psg are ready to offer higher fee

Seeing Ramires in the line up gonna be a big let down for the start of a new season... im preparing myself for it.
