Buy Song, Cesc, Alexis and next year Neymar too and show Barca they cant use the players properly

How come that he isnt starting ahead of Hulk? He has incredible work rate and better link with Oscar, he can play left right or center and he has decent finish, not the best but Hulk wasnt anything special either. I didnt watch Brazil too much recently in friendlies, but was Willian that bad or sth? How come Bernard is better than Willian (at least Scolari favours him more)? I understand Big Phil wants players he trust, but Hulk realy didnt do anything vs Croatia and recent games.

Hazard is quite similar to Neymar in position and when taking on opponents, why isnt he exchanging positions with Oscar more? Oscar and Neymar exchange positions brilliantly for Brazil, its time for Hazard and Oscar to do the same. There were few times last season (and season before) when those two switched and it looked good. I think Mou needs to give Oscar some more freedom to go on wings/centre when he feels so. im sure that would wind up defenders a bit with their marking.

Our striker needed much more support from fullbacks and creative midfielder. No point saying Torres would score more, because he misses open nets, but strikers in general werent given enough balls IMO. Luis and Cesc will be brought exactly because of that. If everything links well, we will have great counter attacks.

Well there is one thing, him being slow is bit of mith. He isnt exactly fast, but barca style of play makes him look much slower. Same happened with Bayern, last season their players looked like fastest team in world, this year, they looked slower because their change into tiki taka. Btw, that letter from Barca realy shows how unprofessional and disrespectful club they are...twats. No player deserves such goodbye from club.

He will probably end in MU along with De Vrij, Strootman and few others...

Hopefuly not but nothing is certain

Yeah he better have his head in right place IMO. Or he will be Torres 2.0, except that he is midfielder. I just cant shake that feeling that he will have no impact here...hope Im wrong.

Sell him, loan him, put him in reserves, lock him in toilet, whatever just dont let him sit on bench at chelsea anymore. I dont want to be offensive, but this guy has no place here anymore, he isnt good enough. But then again I wonder why is Jose Mourinho looking to keep Torres and let Lukaku leave. If that happens I dont know who would be bigger idiot then...

I actualy like him as he is bit cocky. Several best strikers are from Rvp, Drogba, Etoo, Ibra,...and that means only that Lukaku has ambitions. Just imagine we sell Lukaku to some PL team and he continues banging goals while our Costa flops. That would be one big fuck up. I am certain Lukaku will be star and if we sell him, I will be even more certain. We will regret that. And even if he has bad WC, he shouldnt be judged by that.

Its amazing how little respect arsenal players have...I would understand two or three players going to rivals, but there are two arsenal players going to rivals every year...rvp, cole, clichy, nasri, fabregas, adebayor, sagna,... Thats just one big

He is usualy superb defender and works hard but his attacking is poor.

Fair enough, lets see how he does in next games

If he has cracker on world cup, I would consider it, but seriously after one game? I remember gebre selassie (czech lb) had great wc or euros few years ago and then turned shit at new club. Blind was impressive though but with team of 5 defenders where everyone helped defend, he wasnt exposed and spain had no wingers...His crosses were amazing, but doing it in Chelsea is different thing

He would cost like 25m and I doubt all our AMs would be happy with spit playing time, but if thats the case I would rather go after Sanchez, Draxler or someone who has more experience and isnt such risk like this guy who I doubt realy has the quality to be better than Oscar, willian or Schurrle.

Guys stop with the kneejerk reactions...Costa had poor game, made great runs, but poor touch. However it was one game and this spanish style doesnt realy suit him at all. As anyone I would prefer someone like Cavani, Rvp or Suarez, but such players arent available unfortunely. Botom line he is one big cunt though and I blame him bit for not picking Brasil (he has milions of angry brailians on neck now). And I generaly dont like players who turn against their own teams (like Torres or Cesc) because there is so much hate towards them and that affects whole team. Anyway if he can score goals and dont get red card every game, I would gladly take him. He doesnt have that nice style and world class abilities ala Rvp but he can score and he can make defenders shit in pants and thats what we need.

Jose could make some stupid moves this summer like selling Lukaku, selling Oscar and keeping Ramires in starting 11, buying Cesc who wont suit Jose style...or those moves could turn into brilliant ones. Time will tell.

If he has great Wc and still gets sold, I will be pissed. All these years of terrible strikers (bar drogba) and now we could have one realy good for next 10 years but if we wont give him the proper chance it would be realy idiotic.

Considering we also buy Costa and Luis, the formations above pretty much say how we should play next year. But there are few things known to Mou only: 1.) Will he drop Ivanovic who is still very good in defence? =I guess he will because both Azpi (Mou praised him) and Luis are very good in defending, but also much much better in attack than Iva. There is always option to close down with playing Iva in certain games. 2.) Will Ramires stay in starting eleven (if he stays in club)? = I think not because his form is very poor. Top Ramires would definately get spot ahead of Oscar (because Mou favours such type of player), playing next to Cesc and Matic. But current Ramires is realy bad and Oscar (should he regain form) will be ahead no doubt. 3.) Who will play on wings? = Definite starters should be Hazard and Schurrle (if he has good WC). But since both play on same side best, unless Hazard gets moved into middle, Hazard and Willian will continue playing on wings, while Schurrle will stay on bench or right side. 4.) Endless discussion Cech or Courtois... Thats pretty much it, it will depend heavily on who we sell and buy. There are few players (who could play in first 11) that might leave the club: -Oscar -Cech -Ramires And there are few players Mou could still be interested (if we sell Oscar, Ramires): -Pogba/Vidal/Witsel/other CM/Dm -Varane/Benatia/Mangala/other CB -Di Maria/Sanchez/Griezmann/.... While Cesc-Matic-Oscar gives new dimension in attack, it leaves Oscar with even less freedom because Cesc isnt as hard worker as Ramires was, while Matic would become only real DM there and would have more restricted role. Thats why there is posibility that Mou might want to sell Oscar and Ramires to get Pogba or someone, but thats just speculation. I like Oscar and I hope things work out well, without selling him. As always WC will give few new football stars (like Ozil, Muller, Khedira,...last WC) and Mou might try to get one or two like he did back in Real with Ozil and Khedira. I genuinely hope we dont sell Lukaku aswell.

Where is barbara that said the main reason Oscar plays well for brazil is because opponents are shit and PL ones are soo much better? I think Croatia put a realy good performance and yet Oscar was great against them. And Im sure he will be good against any side they face. I think his excuses need to stop. He puts higher level into NT and less passion into Chelsea. Next season I expect form like today on regular basis (maybe few games off, but not half of season FFS)... He was realy good today after bad start, great for him.

Homegrown, can speak english and spanish well, PL proven (if that means anything), experienced and has great technique. Downside is that he is ex-arsenal player and his mentality could blow like Torres, he often dissapears iin big games and isnt realy hard worker (I remember Barca fans often complaining about his lazyness in final third and midfield when chasing the ball). We should see how things go. If Mou has plan and if it works, we will end up with greatest midfield in england and potentialy europe. If not, he will be another expensive flop that came here to get trophies, money and wont leave the club, like ''parasite'' torres... I certainly hope he gives his best to Chelsea.

Great! Just dont do a "Torres".

Modric would be 100x times better than Fab, but we will never get him. And I guess Fab will have to do it.

Why did he cut his hair :/ I guess because its realy hot in brazil, but that was his known look...imagine pirlo or Luiz with short hair...
