Time will tell. I'll give RDM the benefit of the doubt as there are quite a few new players and its preseason but if he doesn't get them playing attacking football several games into the season...

Good. He needs experience and time to develop. Having said that, this move may be the kiss of death. If he goes to Bremen, or anywhere on loan he needs to have a great season because chances are Hazard, Mata and Oscar will firmly secure a starting spot with Marin also pushing to become a starter. KDB needs to have a blinder of a season. We could try him in the pivot instead but time will tell.

He should play number 10. Start phasing out Lampard. Ramires should be tried in the pivot. -------Mikel/Essien-----Lampard/Ramires------ ------Hazard---------Oscar----------Mata-------

I know it's just preseason but I hope RDM gets the boys playing some high tempo attacking football.

Can see great things for him here, trying to not to get too excited and expect much from him but it's hard considering he has shown he can be a quality player.

Screw what he said, sign him up!

I can't believe what I'm reading here. It may take some time but Hazard WILL turn into a great player. End of story.

Amen!

Seems like he has alot of talent but he cuts in and shoots a lot when he's on the left. I mean like all the time! To prevent that he need to play on the right. At times he also overdribbles and tries to beat too many defenders. I'm sure with time he will improve in those areas.

Agreed, I hope this is his last season. Beyond this season he will become a liability. For the time being he is useful.

A true love it or hate it kit if ever I've seen one.

Oscar is not a defensive midfielder...

If we can't get Hulk we should probably just end up going for a CF like Cavani/Falcao.

Torres must start against Milan. If Lukaku starts I'll be dumbfounded...

Well it seems he will become the main transfer drama for us for the next month or so. Really do hope we get him, quality player.

You do realise he's not really a Newcastle fan right...?

I like the 3rd kit, hope we play in it soon, looks cool.

Some people here are wanting to buy a whole new team in one window. For now we're sorting out out Attacking Midfielders, Wingers and presumably RB. Our double pivots, Striker situation (assuming Torres doesn't fire) and possibly CB situation will be adressed over the next 2-3 windows.

He won't play double pivot. Not a logical choice. Might as well play Mata there...

Can't wait to see what he'll bring to the team. He may not play alot in his first season but I hope he does as he can help us alot.

Why are we so fucking shit in pre-season. It's so fucking annoying watching us struggle. Definitely need all the help we can get to quicken up our Play. Mata, Oscar and Hulk, bring them all in/back.

Mata will only improve now. I think he'll kick on and become one of the stars of the PL. Kagawa seems like a very good player, don't get me wrong (nimble and smart), but I wouldn't take him over Oscar, Mata or Hazard which says it all really.

Mata is a better passer. Hazard is more explosive. Oscar makes better decisions and controls the game. There's nothing Kagawa can do better than the players we have.

Touche.

Hulk can play RW and ST. Sorry but that automatically makes him more useful and 'needed' than another expensive CF.
