He will stay for couple of years atleast. But eventualy could leave I think. Mourinho plays high pressing system and his tactics are always bit defensive (trying to keep 1:0 lead etc). Eden could get tired of such results and games, even if we would win couple of trophies because of it. Im sure Eden will be tempted with some kind of free role at Real and winning games 4:0 or 5:0 on regular basis in sunny spain. But he is our player and hopefuly stays forever.

He needs time to calm down. Eventualy, he will and I believe he will be damn good. His arrogance will always be there, like Ibra, but that is what makes them soo good. Without their character, those two (especialy Ibra) would never score all those amazing goals. But at the moment, Balo isnt the striker we need, he cant lead the line and goes mad if things dont go the way he imagines. Maybe in couple if years...

With Rooney extending, Falcao injured, Balo still immature, Cavani too expensive and on and on, Costa is the most realistic striker we might target in summer. Unless hell breaks and we splash 70 odd mio for Cavani, Costa is the best we can get in summer. He isnt my fav choice, his character is wrong, and I feel his skill is way too simple, never scores more advanced goals (like free kicks, long range shots etc) but he might just be what we need. He can score goals and can play that motherfucker no one can break in attack. Lets all hope it works out well.

Hah both of you are exagerrating. He isnt best midfielder in the world (duh) but neither was that his only good performance this season. He has been good everytime he played. But definately he isnt the one CM we need, nor is he the available one.

I hear lot of people hear he is world class and wonderful player to come here etc...but you forget one thing. He plays for Bayern, their possesion based football is completely diferent than ours. Bayern played our style last year and Kroos was important but not nearly half as important and good as he is this year. Bayern this year plays possesion and passing football where Kroos has no other job but to pass/shot and create. Try Kroos in our system, where we play on counters and Toni is teribly slow runner, and to say he isnt exactly hard worker. If any, we would need injury-free Gundogan who is faster and much better suited to counter football; on and off the ball. But heck, Toni wont come anyway, Bayern wont sell him and he wont leave them.

Bayern. I would say Bayern punished them last season. Those two games, Bayern dominated them in every part of game.

I dont care if people remember Gerrard as 'best pk taker'...Frank will be known for his free kicks and record of most goals from a midfielder. A CL and PL winner among others. A guy who was key in greatest era of Chelsea to date.

If you think players cant get tired, well...especialy in Mourinho high pressing system. Hazard was pulling team forward alone, recently Oscar and Willian did fuck all in attacking third. But hey, Hazard gets paid; he can play every day...

Lol no fucking wonder he has soo many goals. There was just one defender and gk went 100m out of his goal. Laliga... Try to score here when we play against 8 players in penalty area...

As long we are this shit in attack, playing on luck, opponent mistakes and hoping to score goal somehow, as long Mou plays so defensive against fucking West Broms or WHUs, we wont be a real threat for some time. Mou is master tactic, big game coach, but he is clueless how to beat low team by big difference. Im sure we have a team that could completely destroy at least one team in PL, but Mou cant do that. He doesnt have skill to beat a team 8:0 or sth like we did last year with Villa. Such win would be extremely imoportant moral boost for our attacking players. Right now we play very reserved, this 1:0 protecting the lead is such bullshit. Yes we win in the end, but we could win by 2/3/4/5 goals, not a single fucking one. Ffs Liverpool is destroying teams here and there, we just sit back protecing 1:0. What kind of fucking football is that? Mou is great in big games, but he is idiot when comes to small ones and goes for that 1:0 win when he should go for 3:0 win at least. We are in transition now so its ok for this season but I will be damn pissed if we will win PL next year and still play 1:0 80% of the games. We spend 100 mio per year for new players and its time for Mou to start showing that. Defensive tactics agains small teams are ridiculous. Its terrible to look this team and players like Hazard who win just by 1:0 or even draw/lose vs small teams because Mou tactics while we should be running the show. And ffs Mou rest some players!

Salah is fucking useless. What people see in this guy I dont know...speed is all he has. He is weaker than Mata ffs. And Oscar's creativity is shit. Toure makes better chances, not to mention that Silva is what Oscar wants to be. Hardworking #10. Mikel and Torres are wankers. Luiz should go home. Hazard is tired. Willian needs to show he is worth those 35mio. And where the fuck is 18mio boy Schurrle? Not to mention Ramires who is geting worse and worse... We were shit as hell.

He will be amazing at age 26+...scoring goals for fun and settled down.

Gotze played 10 games less, Isco played 6 games less. They both changed teams this summer and dont play regular football. Sure stats arent all, but for comparison Gotze has 90% passing. Oscar has 82%. His passing for one of best #10 is very unbalanced. I expect to have calm and composed #10, Oscar isnt that atm. But dont get me wrong, I like Oscar and will surely improve, but at the moment, he is still far from what #10 should be, even if he works twice harder, he also needs to be better and more consistent in final third. And obviously not dissapear in games. Oscar isnt better or worse than Gotze or whoever, time will tell who will be better, but one thing is sure that Oscar needs to step up in his passing acc, creativity, vision etc. The more he creates the better.

No matter how different #10 Oscar is, he is still #10. We cant expect from Terry or Azpi to make assists, its what #10 has to do. And its not just about assists, but also about creating chances and when we played WhU or west brom it was evident that Oscar is not yet enough creative. Besides when people constantly remind that Oscar is not typical #10, just like Gotze, Muller, Isco arent; well their ending product is miles ahead of Oscar and particulary Willian aswell. Both Oscar and Willian are great workers, but they are nothing realy special in final third. Dont know why people here jump on Oscar that much, if he wants to be our #10, he will have to improve and prove much more. He is good, but as we could say he knows all trades, but masters none. His passing is bad for #10 to be honest. He scores goal here and there but when he has off game, he offers nothing in attack. Creativity and vision are another two things he lacks for top #10. But he is young and will improve I hope.

City vs Sunderland is canceled due to bad weather...

Not sure if we are tired, but most of team didnt give a fuck. Hazard was a man that dissapointed me most, he just didnt care and run enough. Usualy he puts much more effort but not tonight. Oscar is another cold-warm player. He can have perfect match or completely invisible. From a #10 (even if not the most typical one) I expect at least some playmaking and creating couple of good chances.

it was comming...

A successful loan in PL next year could do wonders to him, would be realy special if we had two Hazards in first team eventualy.

Cesar Alves-Thiago-Luiz-Marcelo Fernandinho-Gustavo? Willian-Oscar-Neymar Fred? That would be best brazil lineup I think.

This is where someone like Cabaye would be very useful.

He talks a lot of BS but I hope he was serious about staying here for long time.

He has great body phisyque, good striker instinct, but lacks ball control. We need more than just a poacher or target man, we need someone who can link up with Hazard and Willian, create chances. Lukaku is good, but I dont think he is ready to be near Chelsea atm. He needs regular playtime and he sure wont be starter here next season.

He is like Hazard of DM's. His ball control is unbelievable. How come you dont like his style? Its not like he is nasty player ala Gatusso, he has brazil skill in his legs. And his long shots. Also just 21 yrs old.

Hazard, Pogba, Mourinho and 2015. Beat that.
