Micah was a big fish in a small pond, now he's irrelevant in a big pond. They even got Sagna to play over Micah... Shaw could be really good, but I never buy into English hype. Except OX, OX is England's best young talent in years.....That includes Sturridge as well.

I don't know why you guys keep saying you want Ramires gone, when he is Jose's number 1 player... Ramires is the perfect utility player for Jose, something we don't have anymore. Also, Ramires will be here as long as Jose is here or unless he wants to leave to Madrid.

Oscar was suppose to be bench this game (well, according to reports earlier in the week), however, for some reason he started. I don't think WIllian played particularly well minus his pass to Hulk. However, I was watching shitty streams, therefore I could of been confused with Marcelo..

Thiago is and always was Spain best talent. Pep always rated Thiago higher than Cesc

What does "toss" mean?

Nice... Now CM

lol. Suarez, Ronaldo and Bale????? Three guys that takes massive amounts of shots/game....... 1-2 will get shafted... Madrid should of went for Aguero/Cavani/RVP.

Cesc maybe EPL proven, however, he played for Arsenal..... Arsenal, doesn't play like the rest of the epl minus Swansea and maybe Liverpool. That being said, we had Mikel, Lampard, Essien and Ramires the past so years, so CESC is definitely an upgrade x10 as a cm.

Easy. It's either Oscar or Willian in the middle. The amount of pressing the cam has to do in the game, do you really want Hazard to play in the middle or have the option to cutback from the leftside with the least amount of defensive responsibility, so his energy can be concentrated to the offensive end. Hazard, has the best of both worlds. The least amount of defensive work and the option to cutback and move around the pitch. People that keep insisted on hazard playing in the middle because of Oscar's lack of creativity, really don't understand Jose and what happened with Ozil at Madrid. Mourinho kept putting Ozil in the right side come his 3rd season because Ozil never had good stamina nor did he press well, even though he was by far their best creative option.

no.

Its True. However, Barcelona's midfield wasn't great this year, which includes Cesc, Xavi and Iniesta. Sell Cesc, xavi retires, than your left with iniesta and busquets and la masia b players. Even if Koke comes, their still going to need another CM on their team. People said the same thing last summer with Cesc and he didn't move to United, even though United is an ideal setup for Cesc and his talent.

Problem is, they don't have Koke now and he isn't guaranteed to go to Barcelona. With Costa being sold, TC going back to Chelsea and Luiz potentially coming, no way are they going to sell half the team in 1 season.

So, Barcelona going to sell Cesc after they sold Thiago. Even though Xavi is going to retire soon? When Cesc came to Barcelona and was linked to them the summer prior, everyone in Catalonia knew THIAGO was a better player for Barcelona. I highly doubt their going to trust either Santos, rafinha, samper or roberto to play in significant games next season.

Who said Pogba wasn't going to be good you illiterate.

Atletico Madrid striker David Villa would train with Premier League champions Manchester City until February if he signs with New York City FC, according to Spanish newspaper El Pais.

exactly....

Apparently people on this board don't know anything outside of Chelsea.

TBF, he would offer 40m for Bradley as well.

If Torres stay, I bet he starts over Lukaku.

Think about it... Jose's thinking. Do I want to win now or develop youth? Am I really going to care about what someone potential is in 5-10 years, when I probably won't be here. As mentioned before, Luis might not automatically bring that, but to Jose's mind. he bring them closer than Shaw does in terms of winning, etc.

Good point about the versatility. That would make sense. Also, the catalan reference was to Bosque's favoritism towards Catalan players, not Cesar.

He'll love NYC....

433 Matic Pogba oscar with a hint of ramires

Not next season

Fernando still has 2 more euros and 1 more world cup than everyone combined for chelsea.
