First half he was shaky IMO, especially when Countinho completely fooled him. In the 2nd half he was flawless, made many interceptions and anticipated key passes. He's not that gifted on the ball like Verane but in a year or so he could be just as good. Massive talent.

No Schurrle, Salah or Mikel.

Zouma starts.

It's also hard to judge him at the ACONs seeing as the quality isn't the highest.

He's 100 percent not a RW, the only reason he played there was because Alan Pardew loved his work rate. This season he's playing more central, just ahead of Tiote and Colback. It's like when Jose plays Ramires on the right. He's a good player though, Newcastle fans love him and Mike Ashley wont let him go for cheap.

According to many journalists and Seira A followers his defensive work isn't the best, Jose will fix that if we do get him. I have to say though, he's nothing like Willian. He's way more direct, kind of reminds me of Sterling in terms of style.

It'll be good to watch him play against a very good Roma side.

Well get used to this result getting talked about for years to come...

Lets be real here, Cuadrado is the only quality RW available right now, last season he was brilliant, had a good world cup and even the likes of Barcelona wanted him... I'll be disappointed if we miss out on him and sign an unproven player in Costa.. his numbers (gls/ass) are awful for a player playing in the Ukraine league, apparently he's also very inconstant as well... i could see us buying both to replace Salah and Schurrle but the only problem with that is whether Jose is willing to give them adequate game time.. who knows.

It's funny.. when we win and win in style certain members are nowhere to be seen, once we lose they come out and repeat the same old negative shit about Jose... its pretty boring.

Salah apparently had a very poor half.

That formation looks more defensive IMO, especially with the two fullbacks playing as wing backs.

Remember when he said he wanted Torres to stay and that he doesn't expect him to leave at all.... a few hours later he went to Milan. He acted the same when we were about to sell Kdb, Luiz and Mata.

Good on him tbh, he very likeable and it's a shame it didn't work out. it kind of reminds me of the Shaqiri-Bayern situation, hopefully he does well and gets his career back on track.

That cover is anything but relaxing , at least play the original.

Does anyone think we'll sign both Costa and Cuadrado? if we sell Salah and Schurrle i could see it happening. Right now the main trio (Hazard,Oscar and Willian) are starting basically every game, it's kind of ridiculous. If it means Jose will start rotating the squad i'm all for it. I would rather we sign Cuadrado and promote a youngster (Boga) but if Jose doesn't trust Salah or shurrle i doubt he'll trust a youth product starting a PL/FA/League cup game.

Ross Barkely is a headless chicken, no football brain whatsoever, whenever he gets the ball all he wants to do is run with it. JWP on the other hand is not as technically gifted but is so smart when on the ball and is one of the best set piece takers in the league.

What players do you suggest?

A lot of the spanish media report that he has his heart set, could be bollocks though.

Who could we buy though? there's a shortage of proper right wingers at the top level so to find one who can score goals consistently will cost an awful lot. Bale and Reus are the obvious names, Reus looks nailed on to go to Real and Bale will go for crazy money.

'Quadruple' Fuck off.

The amount of Wingers/CAMs we bought over the past few years is ridiculous really...

Costa Wiliian - Hazard - Cuardrado Cesc - Matic Imagine lining up like this, so much pace and skill behind Costa.
