OneMoSalah

Well done mate, you just need the yellow fiat punto like Simon out of the inbetweeners now.

So Schurrle stays then if Salah goes on loan to Fiorentina... interesting.

What a ball in for Branna though, people talk about his lack of end product/a final pass but that ball in from the set piece was a beauty.

I think we should go for someone else. Weren't Atletico not interested in Schurrle after the World Cup? Give them Schurrle and £££ for Turan or Griezmann....

At least Schurrle stuck around and gave it a go and actually did well in some games (SuperCup v Bayern, Bucharest, PSG, Fulham, Stoke.. games he scored or assisted and in general played well). De Bruyne was out of here in 6 months into his first season after a piss poor performance against some crappy League 1 team before being demoted to train with the reserves instead of going to Bucharest because Mourinho wasn't happy with his effort and performances. Its nice to play at a small club and score goals where your comfortable and don't have to push yourself for anything but its even nicer to play at a top club, to get in the team and win titles.

'Mourinho is pushing a lot on the property' Got to love the property transfer market, can't wait for deadline day, what a time to be alive. This is really happening though isn't it? Fuck sake.

Great comment. City game last year at the Etihad (I think it was the Etihad because we were the first team to beat them there all season), which was a massive game, Ramires started ahead of Oscar and was brilliant with Luiz and Matic in a 3 man midfield. Anyway anyone using the excuse that Oscar doesn't look as good as Hazard because he isn't flashy is quite frankly a moron. What a stupid thing to say. Hazards consistency and end ball is miles ahead of Oscar's as well as the fact he takes the game to the opposition most times whenever he can.

I'm gonna be a bastard here and use the bit in your bio about stats hiding the most important thing which is he isn't anywhere near consistent enough (despite having scored or assisted 8 in the last 9 games which is probably a first for him) or dominate games for large periods. He can be a world class player for both Brazil and Chelsea but he has brief moments in games where he looks like he will do something/he does something and seems to fade out of it or he just isn't there from minute 1 to minute 90 whatever. It was the same with Hazard last year, people on here (myself included) wasn't just happy that he was scoring one goal or assisting one when you consider his ability and his potential to be a constant threat and perform highly through out a whole match and it is still the same with Oscar, he can do much more. Hazard has been doing it this season, playing very well, even if he doesn't score hes having a major influence, making numerous key passes or numerous dribbles and Oscar can be the same even if he isn't the same style of player as Hazard. Its not that he doesn't make key passes or dribbles etc as well, its just sometimes you see him in a game and think go on look at the space you have get the ball make something happen. Scoring a goal or assisting isn't always everything, how are players meant to be analysed or improve if everyone just goes on about they scored a goal or assisted a goal or scored and assisted so many in so many games. All I along with everyone else here want Oscar to fulfill his vast vast potential, which he will only do performing at his best consistently and improving the other facets of his game which aren't as good. Nobody has an agenda against him here for christ sake, which you would think reading your post and this isn't the first time I've seen you get all defensive when Oscar is mentioned despite his inconsistency being a major discussion point in this thread to the extent where other members have wanted him replaced (yeah...).

Tbh Simeone has done well to get some sort of reasonable performances out of him. Also hes scored 3 goals with his only 3 shots on target for Atletico, or that's what was doing the rounds on twitter...

Waiting to hear about more work, fuck life. Pay day is also too far away, fuck life x2.

Dortmund have huge revenues, think how much money they make every home game and have been doing so for years and years along with the sales of players and how they manage to get replacements fairly cheap for some players. Also the fact they are struggling, they need to strengthen surely or they will go down so they will have enough funds available.

Still disappointed with his progression. He lets games pass him by too easily, lets say in comparison look at the difference in Christian Eriksen at Spurs last season to this season. I was reading a Sqwuaka article, hes averaging more touches of the ball per game, more passes, more dribbles, more key passes, more shots, more tackles and in general just influencing and deciding games more than last season and you can see an improvement. Oscar on the other hand, he doesn't look to me as if hes becoming more decisive or influential in the team. Sure we play with more percentage of possession and he surely has more touches of the ball etc but hes hardly influencing games as much as he should be being Chelsea's #10, is he? Its not the first time this has been mentioned either, we will throw Schurrle or Salah under the bus if they play poor despite not being a regulars but seem to object to criticizing Oscar when he hasn't progressed very much since the first 4 or 5 months of last season and has been playing in at least 85% of the games under Mourinho since he returned.

Hes been very inconsistent at Fiorentina though. Not worth the fee we're meant to be paying.

Lol the amount of people saying Cesc won't be as big a miss as Costa for this game.. christ.. Cesc is the best MF player in the PL atm in my eyes, hes gonna be a fucking huge miss if he doesn't play. How many people can play a killer pass like him with the right weight and at the correct time like vs Arsenal, Burnley, Maribor, Swansea etc? Hes a bigger miss than Costa in my eyes because Remy and Drogba can still cause a lot of problems. Ramires, Mikel, Matic and Oscar can't provide that same quality Cesc can with a final pass which could decide a game like this to be honest although they bring other things to the table.

There were people who wanted us to change a very successful set up so Torres could score, it was absolutely retarded, people said he couldn't play with Drogba in the same squad hahahahaha but yet these people like you said want Schurrle gone because he hasn't done too well after a half decent first season. .

Good opportunity for Ramires to play next to Matic if Cesc is fit enough to play as the 10.

To be honest if he is going to get a ban from the FA, he might as well go on a rampage and knock that little girl Jordan Henderson out. I honestly thought he was going to in one of those two legs, the same with Skrtel. He might as well be public enemy number 1 right now haha.

I hope Cesc will be playing as the 10 with Ramires next to Matic v City. His energy has been missed, he and Cesc can interchange to give him the opportunity to get into the box and score goals.

Costa is going to be a fucking legend here haha, properly winding up the whole Liverpool team as well as showing what a top CF he is. Sure the stamp wasn't nice but I doubt it was completely intentional, surely he's thinking Can will move?? Hes aggressive but hes fucking hardly Suarez. Bet you he gets banned as well. The referee bottled decisions, Costa arguably should have seen red, Henderson should have gone, Lucas should have gone, Skrtel could have gone, Johnson should have gone all - all of those Liverpool players should have picked up second yellows.

Hopefully we will see 4-3-3 soon enough when Rami is fit.

Why do we not just sell him instead of loan with option to buy??? They might not even take the option up. What a load of shite.

Actually pretty awful to be fair. Having 35 goals and 38 assists in close to 200 games in a piss poor league??

28M is about 10M too much, guy is like Willian. I've seen people say Turan's name, I'd take him, the guy is a warrior and has an end product. Was a bit gutted we didn't get him in 2012 from Galatasaray, obviously he had a bit of room for improvement but look at him now surely a world class player.

If David Luiz can make the FIFA team of the year as a CB after a shocking year where he was mostly utilized as a CM due to shite CB performances and a shocking World Cup then I reckon I can, despite having 0 professional appearances..... Iniesta?? He was shit for Barca too, what did Modric have to do to get in that team.

I'm gonna say what half the forum is thinking looking at these comments, you're a cunt. Special Juan is just trying to do whats right for the forum and your acting like a total dick.
