West Ham in negotiations with Chelsea for Victor Moses

:lol:

More of a case of the manager recognizing what is needed during the game after a certain time to get the desired result. As for leaving him out of the big matches, think that has been blown out of proportion. It's usually only City away and maybe 1-2 games at Arsenal. Otherwise, he's played in many of them. 2013/14: Man United (a) - Played the whole game Man United (h) - Played until the 68th minute Arsenal (a) - Played the last 13 minutes Arsenal (h) - Played 67 minutes Man City (h) - Played the whole game Man City (a) - Played last 7 minutes Liverpool (h) - Played the whole game Liverpool (a) - Not in squad but remember, we concentrated on the Champions League then Tottenham (a) - Played the full game Tottenham (h) - Came on at HT PSG (a) - Played 73 minutes PSG (h) - Played 81 minutes Atletico Madrid (a) - On the bench Atletico Madrid (h) - On the bench 2014/15: Arsenal (h) - Played 87 minutes Arsenal (a) - Came off at HT due to concussion Man United (a) - Played 67 minutes Man United (h) - Played 67 minutes Liverpool (a) - Played the full game Liverpool (h) - Didn't play due to injury Man City (a) - On the bench but wasn't used Man City (h) - Played the whole game Tottenham (h) - Played the whole game Tottenham (a) - Played 45 minutes PSG (a) - Played 7 minutes PSG (h) - Played first 45 minutes

Doesn't mean much considering Mourinho tends to take an attacking player for a defensive one to consolidate matches.

So much for that.

Agree but while Mourinho did say he wanted those players to stay, he never really spoke fondly about them compared to Oscar. If you go through all of his comments, you will see what I mean. The way he talked about Mata, Torres etc had that dismissive, diplomatic, not-so-bothered feeling, in that he doesn't really care too much about it. With Oscar, he's talked about he wants him to be his No.10, to be a key player in the team etc. Mourinho didn't even say those kind of things when speaking about Mata, Torres etc.

His performances for England would say 'No'.

Well, I didn't declare this BS.

They won't get Griezmann. Atletico Madrid have just increased his release clause to 80m euros (IIRC) and they won't sell this late in the transfer window.

OH FUCK OFF, ALEXANDRA!!

Oh come on. You know the situation is different with Oscar compared to those you mentioned there. Mourinho has, on numerous occasions, said Oscar is his No.10, will get better and be an important player in the team.

At times like this, the transfer window can't close soon enough. Ridiculous people read so much into some rumour spread by a nobody.

Oscar is a favorite of Mourinho. The latter has already mentioned his faith/confidence in Oscar so many times and he's not just going to let him go.

John Terry's leadership is crucial to Chelsea, the game is now full of very, very quiet players

Injured. Picked up a thigh injury recently - http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/aug/04/karim-benzema-miss-start-season-real-madrid-thigh-injury

Surprise surprise. First game in and Rafa's Real Madrid are already 2 points behind Barcelona, after drawing 0-0 at the mighty Sporting Gijon.

If he's not going to play the big games, then will he? He needs to play against the best to be the best.
