Modric, Vidal, Fabregas,...I like we are linked with proper midfielders. Whoever of this class we sign, it will be great. Mou knows best who to get. For me, Modric would be ideal, he is hard worker, great on and off the ball and can play either counter attack or creates chances when opponent goes full defense. Vidal...much much better Ramires IMO, but he realy isnt the man to solve our problems against small teams who park the bus. We need DLP, he isnt that. But as I said, whoever of this quality we get, it will be amazing summer!

First, I dont want that to happen, but I think Mou might be looking to do that. Barkley suits his play more than Oscar, Modric would be near perfect to Matic etc... What I disagree with you is the Modric opinion. Yes he is 29, but he is Xavi/Pirlo type of player and those peak at age 30 or even later. He is even better than he was when he left Spurs; this season, he was most outstanding player (bar Ronaldo) in real. His role might be underrated, kind of what hapend to Makelele. I wouldnt swap Oscar for Modric either (unless one of Barkley, Reus, James,...would certainly come), but Modric is still easily worth 40mio, despite his age. His role at Real is extremely important and he is my faw player there, he was very consistent, good in big games and real creator of Madrid's game. His role of deep playmaker is closely connected with experience and he realy plays good nowdays, I feel he will play even better in two years time (around 30s).

He would fit this team as mucu as Kroos would. Neither of the two is perfect CM we look after. Both are quite slow too.

I think Mourinho might actualy swap Oscar for Modric and Lukaku for Barkley. Costa and new LB would be bought with money only (Ba, Torres, Mikel, Cole, Marin, Moses, Romeu sales, Mata money from january).

Sunderland, norwich and cardiff. Three relegation zone teams. Three teams who have nothing to lose and will play 110% every game now. Lpool is looks more confident than ever. Winning for fun. Its gonna be bloody difficult but possible.

You cant tell that. Things might work for him...

It all depends on us now. No excuses, we win those games and we win title. Or we dont. COME ON!

Yes. If he wont get chance here, it would be great to see him in dortmund. Klopp will make him good player.

Uefa should give that money to smaller clubs who follow rules, work with youth,...IMO. But wont happen sadly.

Lol Pirlo agreed to join every big club but Milan didnt let him go... He almost signed for Real too.

Form is temporary, class is permament they said... Some players simply turn shit they never said

BS. The part about Mandzukic isnt real (Sammer said today Mando wont leave). Meaning the rest is probably bs aswell...

Calhanoglu looks like Mou signing (works hard, has realy good FK shot), but we dont need more potential good young AMs...We have Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Schurrle and Salah. If we go after another AM, it should world class one (Reus, James) or premier league proven (Lallana). We dont need more quantity, but quality.

Another player like Matic in summer and we are set. Cant believe we got him for 25mio. Such a great player and Chelsea fan on top of that I knew he will make it here since the day he said that after he left chelsea, he worked hard in benfica to show us how good he is and return here one day. Top player.

Never gonna happen. We will have to win against Lpool and ref I think.

Persistent motherfucker. Exactly what we need in our attack. Him vs Yaya would be funny to watch

Sunderland in terrible form. Looks like they will have miracle against us and then turn shit again... Seriously bring them on! At SB we should do it comfortably.

Oscar did well IMO in recent games..he looks more lively and tries to be involved more in the game. Dont forget that best playmakers are at peak in later ages, I think Oscar is unique, after all he is 22 and you cant expect from 22y.o. to dictate whole tempo of the game. For example, Gotze isnt realy Bayern playmaker, but Schweini (or even Lahm) dictates their tempo. In Real, Xabi Alonso was the real playmaker, not Ozil (now Modric, not Isco). It will take some time for Oscar to understand his role, but judging by the fact that Mourinho (tactical expert) trusts Oscar at this young age, Im sure there must be something on him. Our team isnt near complete and it is normal that Oscar isnt at best level. Still, there are advantages in Oscar (hard work, tackling) but also weaknesses. While he is good #10, he will probably never be in range of Mata, Ozil, Gotze. Those have passing in head, Oscar is more allround. And I think he will be more succesfull than any of other three because of his work rate. Lamps was very raw back then at age 22 and he developed finishing and passing (FKs, corners,...) with years of playing...Oscar will do it too.

haha well that would be some ending to the season, I still remember watching that game...trashing wigan in 2010 That game boy...it realy was one of best I ever saw..oh the memories... As they say, never say never...Its been too weird season, anything could happen. BELIEVE!

Sorry for my mistake sir, 4 games...

Well Ba is big game player while Cavani is big game flop. Probably around 50mio, make it 60 as the market nowdays is inflated as hell.

Yup. I didnt meant that Mou must fix players finishing, but the attacking game overall. We have the ball but dont know how to break opponent. Today, it worked, but Palace or Villa could happen again.

the number of injured players is too damn high! Hope it isnt as bad as it looks, but season is over for him i think...meaning we will stuck with some average striker.

We have problems in finishing? Yes. We dont have consistent scorers who would take accurate shots. But still, we score in most important times. Torres, Etoo, Ba it doesnt matter...someone scores that 'lucky' goal. Thats our advantage. Psg had Cavani/Ibra, who scored 40 goals this season, yet we have Ba who scored 1, but more important than all those 40. I think we wont have problems with scoring vs Atletico or Lpool, ugly 1:0 win if thats necessary. But small teams like Norwich, Sunderland...they might just make things realy difficult for us. Its 5 games, one draw/loss and we are in big shit. I seriously hope Mourinho properly prepares team for small games.
