Well I always assume that all of these guys dont know anything that we dont, they just speculate and follow the news and post some things and hope that they're right.
1. Personally I cant say that Willian is better for sure. 2. Scolari likes to stay true to the players that he chooses, he'll probably use the same starting XI from the Confederation Cup.
I agree but it'll be hard to get players like say Modric who is one of the best CM\CDMs out there. Fabregas is a step up for us in midfield, I'd say. Costa - a step up (a couple of steps up). We'll have to find a LB aswell.
Or maybe he just wanted him to sign. I hope he'll have a role, I think we're covered enough at the CBs department with JT Cahill and Iva, and Zouma could surely get some minutes in some league games and also the cups.
