Eden Hazard skills with some F2 Freestylers.

Thanks for ruining my dreams dude....

This thread is fucking hilarious. Our most important player, Koke only marginally better, the reason for our early form.

100th PL appearance for Hazard. 100 out of a possible 107 (38+38+31). Crazy that he's only missed 7 games and three of those were because of that bs red card he got.

Hasn't scored or assisted since the 17th of january but sure a hattrick...

Don't really get your point ? Apart from both being Brazilian what does signing Nathan have to do with Oscar ?

True, like i said it will all depend on how long he stays and how successfull he his here. If we just constantly loan him out then we'll get little to no benefit. I agree. Like i said it'll take years to benefit from this as ,like you say, they need to become emotionally invested. Again i agree. I don't think we're after him purely because of his marketability or because of some ridiculous clause with Yokohoma. His marketability definitely plays a part but the main reason why we're interested in him is because he's a genuinely talented player. You put it best : " It's about getting a potentially talented player which could end up in first team or resold for a profit, and a potentially lucrative deal on the commercial side."

Imo it works. How well it works is up to the player. A lot of people are focusing on shirtsales and the new fans a team gets by buying a "marketable player" but that's just short term. Like David88 said the majority of those new fans will just leave when the player leaves. The majority won't buy a shirt and even if they did there's not much money to make with shirtsales as the club only gets a small percentage. We aren't going to make millions and gain millions of fans just by buying a Japanese player. It's something that going to take time and will depend heavily on how long the players stays and how successfull he is. The longer the marketable player stays at the club and the more succesfull he is (more gametime) , the more likely it is that more of those fans will be sticking around (and buying his shirt), even after the player leaves and become proper fans. At the end of the day though it's all about getting our club name out there. Club names have become brands now. Any time they'll mention his name they'll mention the club name aswell. Also the fans we gain will also help expand our fanbase further as they'll "infect" other people into showing an interest in our games. I know that might sound odd but ask yourself, how many times has a person become a fan of a club because one of his friends or family members was a fan ? That happens quite a lot.

So it's Mourinho's fault now ? He gave Oscar all the trust in the world. You mention KDB and Mata but they're both nr 10's who were forced to play RW to accommodate Oscar. Right from the start he said Oscar was his number 10. Mourinho gave him 2 years of first team football, where he was the undisputed nr 10, yet he hasn't progressed at all as a player. Oscar was given every opportunity to succeed but didn't take it. The blame rests with him and him alone. What Deco thinks/says really doesn't matter at all. He probably will play better under another manager but that will have little to do with the manager and more to do with the weaker league and weaker club he'll be playing in.

Euhm because his performance wasn't noteworthy at all ? He did what he had to do but he had very little to do.

Mourinho : ManagerialIn ten seasons of club management, Mourinho has led his club to win its domestic league seven times, the UEFA Champions League twice and the UEFA Cup once. Between 2003 and 2012, Mourinho did not go a single calendar year without winning at least one trophy.

How about we play Azpi at RB and tell Brana the season ended early ?

Indeed and it was happening all game long. Happened at 4:24 and at 4:32 aswell. Benteke should be coming close for the 1-2, Vertonghen should be overlapping to counter the double marking instead they're just standing there watching Hazard.

Think you misunderstood me. I'm not defending Mourinho. I don't believe our right side is working but i just think that Mourinho believes it's working. Why else would he buy Cuadrado ? I mean if he's not happy with our RW scoring and assisting so little why didn't he just go out and buy a high scoring RW ? Instead he went for a 26 y old RW that has scored only 30 goals in his entire career (over 200 appearances). The root of our right wing problem is Ivanovic. With him playing right back the primary job of our right winger isn't, try and score/assist, it's to provide defensive cover for Ivanovic. As long as Mourinho choses to play Ivanovic our RW will continue to be a mess. Mourinho can throw as much money at it as he likes it just doesn't work but again i think he believes it does work and will continue to play like that.
