I really like what mou said. Hazard is extremely talented but his performance last year was just ok. Flair move is fun too watch but getting result is more important. I hope mou can make hazard become more effective

It is the other way around for city. They get rid of tevez and balotelli. They also replace mancini with a much better man manager in pellegrini and i really like their signings.

The only reason I can say that it is bs because manu rejected it. Lol mata + 10m for rooney. Lol2

Like what toronto said, there is not a best formation to get the best of our mazacar. Your formation is probably the best formation but at the same time it forces mata to do more defensively and it reduces his influence on the game by moving him to the wing. He also made a very good point, right now mata is probably as good as anybody as no 10. In term of playmaking he is just damn good,tactically oscar is superb but as a playmaker Mata is better. PS: We are going to have the same problem with Schurle and Hazard, because both of them at their best as left winger. Not sure why we don't go for Navas instead of schurle

Not sure why do we have crazy debate about whether Oscar can play in 433 system. To be honest it does not really matter. Let say we play 433 with Oscar rami and mike. Oops that is back to 4231 with Oscar as no 10. The difference between 433 and 4231 is marginal. If you play a player who like to operate between the lines then it is 4231. If he operates deeper than it is 433. The problem is mata on the wing, he is disastrous defensively.

I don't see that. I think we are going to play 4231. Not sure why do you want to play 433 when you have oscar,mata,hazard,schurle

I usually don't care about non footballing stuff. But biting playerss is over the line for me.

I thought bayern overpayed for him last year. 40m euro for dm. But he has proved me wrong, not only he is the perfect mid for bayern. But all around midfield is just rare this day.

Completely agree, I don't think he is a great manager but I think he is the perfect manager for RM. After so many drama last season with Mourinho, I think Ancelotti is the perfect manger to calm the team down a little bit.

Why do you want to play isco modric kondong while your best player is CR is beyond me. Alonso is the perfect midfielder for RM and in order to bring the best of CR you need to play slightly more direct game (you also mentioned about Bale, another player who thrive on direct game) By playing two possesion player (isco and modric) it means you want to play slow build up play which does not suit CR at all.

Not sure about disco but ozil is awful defensively. I still think di maria will still play most games

Unless somebody can tell me another player who is available and as good as this guy, I don't see any reason why we should not bid for him just because he is a cunt. I will be very pissed if he moves to manu

Like u said u built our team around our best playerss. Our best player are mata and hazard. One favorite position is left winger and the one is central am. So why are we playing 433 again

Excellent post. I keep hearing let's play this formation or that so we can get the best out of kdb/Oscar. I really2 like both player but nobody do that. Clearly our best player is mata. Defensively mata is awful but he is absolutely central in the way we play. It is so obvious that he is our chief playmaker and we want him to get the ball as much as we can and in the middle is where he is best suited. So I think a flexible 4231 is still our best option

Nope, does not need him. We need a central midfielder. Enough with am

All of these transfer rumor about mata is absurd. I will not trade him for anybody not even bale not even ozil/gotze/neymar. Unless we can get a certain argentinian, there is no way i will move mata.

I think u are being harsh in avb and daglish. I thougt avb signing was excellent, but we had pathetic squad. Remember Bosingwa and malouda in the first team. Daglish in the other hand did awful signing with his trio british.But i think mou is a better coach than those two but you cannot win without good player.

I think for CL U need 4 player that was trained in your club for 3 years prior to their 21st birthday (Source:I play Football Manager )

The reason that i think that fabregas is an option is because we desperately need a really good midfielder. We can forget about winning epl next season if we don't significantly upgrade our cm department. It does not matter who is the manager, you cannot win without good players

There are probably plenty of Chelsea fans that hate this guy, but all around midfielder is very rare this days. If he really want to leave Barca, IMO we need to make a bid because he is a pretty good midfielder

I was expecting a troll face

I think the problem started when we signed oscar. I really like him but not so sure what was the main reason begind his signing. Was he signed to play as cm and it turned he is not really a cm. Or he was signed to back up mata or our board really envision mazacar

Tbf i don't think playing rooney and stud means it was 442. Rooney will drop deep to pickup the ball so it is more of 4231

I though England wasted the best year of Gerard and lampard . Instead of going to 4-3-3 and let those two bomb forward, they kept talking about whether those two can play together

I am usually against signing player above 30, but all around midfielder is just extremely rare these days
