Sheva.

I think Turan will fit in easier, but he can't score for shit and we already have enough of those type of players.

Combination of both. Injury definitely led to a decline in his physical condition, and it also affected his rhythm and confidence. Never easy to just shake it off and return to normal, especially at his age.

He only looked livelier in the last game. He's been pretty quiet/shit in the other 2 games - though 1 was against a bus and another against Brazil. For me, Falcao's main problem is that he's a penalty box striker who lost his magic in front of goal. Without his goal-scoring, he doesn't do anything else very well.

Chelsea won't pay 45m for Griezmann i don't think, so it's even more unlikely they pay more; for a worse player in Sterling.

That was world class, I cannot deny ?

I thought someone bumped this thread as a joke, smh.

Cuz it's blue ?

Like I said on another thread, I just don't know what Dunga is doing with all the random players he put in attack lol. Willian has done fuck all like the rest of them, now Neymar is banned..

I have no hope for him. So surely I can't be disappointed, surely.

I watched the game from minute 7 (after it was already 1-1) to the end. Being the 2nd best Brazil player doesn't mean much with the average lineup they had out there. The most notable thing he did (apart from when he humiliated some guy) was an outside of the foot pass to Neymar, who fired wide from outside the box. While the others did fuck all. Not all the time lol, i think he's a decent player, but not 'un-droppable' at a big club.

He's better than Willian in attack. In the 10 mins he spent on the pitch he was positve, missed a great chance and later scored the winner. Its really crazy Brazil are starting an important tournament with Willian and Fred. Anyway Chelsea don't need Costa if Cuadrado is staying.

Lol literally begging for the ban

He scored the winner

The problem with 442. I lost count at the amount of times they couldn't pass the ball out from the back, and the 2 strikers were just standing up there with no CAM behind to linkup.

And that should be their main strong point with all the big names they have in attack.

Finally goals in the 1st half lol

Clearly. He would have scored one of the million crosses they put in the box.

He's more involved than last game, but nothing special so far. One thing I noticed though is Benteke's hold up play is nothing like DD (which I've seen some people claim here) he can hold the ball when it's given to him, but doesn't do those quick 1-2 with the AM's.

Crazy decision lol

The fuck, I always thought he was 26/27.

He's a good player, made the wrong decision to join PSG when it was clear as day they have 3 mids better than him. I see him linked with Palace but I think his level is definitely higher than that.

Keyword there is "linked". I don't see the mega clubs just watching as City grab Pogba. I think they will end up with Sterling when it's all said and done. Anyway I agree Chelsea need a big signing, but it's already clear now Mourinho likes this current XI and is only looking for depth.

It's actually pretty funny Oscar can score 10 goals, but he most likely will be in and out of the team again. While Cuadrado is not also a goal scorer...so really Chelsea need more goals from Costa, Hazard and Fabregas. Anything else is a bonus.

50m will be daylight robbery.

He talked about him yesterday: "In four or five months he has been with us, he began an adaptation that is not easy. And he was champion, has won a Cup, and that will always be in his career. He has suffered, and it is normal, one thing is to play in Italy and one in England. One thing is to play Fiorentina and over at Chelsea. And it is not easy to come here in January, a team that is winning and who is playing well, and adapt to another system: Fiorentina played with five defenders, we do four, " "People don't know Cuadrado yet. We have followed him in Italy, Udinese, When I headed to Inter. I've seen him play many times and is a guy that I have many hopes for next season. I hope that in the Copa America can feed their self-esteem, his ego, He can feel joy of playing ". (Taken from Illmatic on Mourinho thread)
