So much for the spanish core. Seems that only carvalj will be the only significant member going forward. Isco should of went to city.

Real Madrid gets what Real Madrid wants.

Mata needs to worry about starting for man united....

last signing, edison cavani.

I dont see salah getting many games next season... maybe 10-15 appearances.

TBF, they are similar players.. Except sanchez is probably faster and quicker, while aguero with better body balance and striking accuracy. Don't know why chelsea didnt go for sanchez tbh.

Save MJ

this "situation" is not realistic. Jose would never give in to a demand like that nor would Lukaku make 40 appearances. Chelsea have a million ams that would be the primary position getting rotated/substituted in the games.

Which is why we need runners on the team.... Hopefully, they get ton of games this year. Cesc will make Ramires a crucial player.

CF and thats it. GIve some games to ake and other youngsters, but I doubt that will happen.

because ba, torres or eto are all better holdup players than lukaku. You even saw it at the world cup, his holdup play is worse than Torres and that's pretty bad. What was his aerial win percentage? He lost out to a kid from the french league.... Lukaku being the number 2 means he would start a significant amount of games, which I really doubt Jose gives him

Because Lukaku not the n2 CF and he knows it.

Lukaku going to be 3rd CF, not second.... Heck even schurrle might be 3rd cf this coming season

Thats the point though. Mourinho could give 2 shits about what other people think. The majority of fans would want lukaku to start, since he was scoring quite a lot and young, but Mourinho would not get pressured into that. If Jose really felt lukaku was at least 2nd in the depth order, their would be no way Jose would allow him to leave on loan.

Honestly speaking, do you guys think Mourinho will pick Lukaku over Torres? I seriously doubt he does and when one thing goes wrong, I can see Lukaku never getting game time again under Jose.

My comments was based on what people wrote concerning hazard +lb. Hazard already had dave and cole, which are as solid as lbs in the epl a team can have

Yes, cause toni kroos plays dm.

Rise of the afro and cleverly! lol

Well, who is our 3rd cb? IMO, no way does zouma or omero get that position and ivan or whomever, would be the perfect utility player that chelsea needs for depth. This is kind of the same reason why I never wanted luke shaw.

Hopefully, Mourinho allows the fullbacks to attack much more than last season and hopefully Ivan starts at cb or backup to both cb/rb.

That's not the point. The point is if Jose gives specific directions to luis to play a certain way, than hazard is going to be in the same position/situation as last year. If anything, Dave is a solid all around full back, not a purely defensive one.

Kroos sale is going to allow alaba to play his dream role and give some game time to the young kids; shaqiri and gotze. Maybe Hoiberg gets some time at CM

I remember the brazilians saying Luis is the worse attacking fullback in the ranks... Alves, maicon, maxwell, marcelo, danilo, etc. People can talk about how Eden needs someone to overlap, etc, but if Jose plays luis the same way he plays dave last season, its going to be the same for hazard.

Arbeloa, khedira and probably alonso.... Varane was a one year young kid coming under zidane. Coentrao, pepe and cristiano were definitely not fans of Jose towards the end. Ozil started to get piss off at mourinho at year 3.

107m for James Rodriguez..... Time for the new era to usher in. Jese-James-Bale Modric-?
