Mundaka

Nah pretty realistic

He will be better than Cavani in 2 seasons...

Oscar has to skills to make it in a team like Chelsea, he's not that consistent but which 20/21? year old isn't when its his first year in this league? Also , and for me that's usually a sign they will be great players, when he has a bad game, hes still ok, most important thing for a footballer in a topteam...

About the spurs, they are having a heavy run at the moment, so far they did good, but after lyon (very close game), arsenal, inter and now liverpool they are prolly getting tired, so wouldnt be surprised if liverpool wins that one, Dembele was already a bit injured against inter so..

3 hours 46 minutes left!

34 minutes against Real Sociedad, should be possible , indeed amazing... considering he was only 6th keeper at Genk in season 2008/2009... even for the best keepers it would usually take 10 years orso (keepers are usually at their best around 28-30 yo) to achieve something that...

Care to explain why?

The rumour: http://www.elcentrocampista.com/2013/02/chelsea-closing-in-on-la-liga-star/ Courtois already made a statement about this rumour(Has been going on since our defeat vs Atl. Madrid): http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/feedarticle/10661678 Anyways 47M + Courtois(70/80M?) vs Falcao whom we might not even need? Would be ridiculous considering fair play rules + we should strengthen CM first if anything, doubt much money will be left like that :/.

Thats not quite fair, hes more grown up, mentally, than the likes of bolatelli/hazard/oscar/ torres ... for example + his work attitude is already better than most of our players. Also in his latest interview (see his personal topic) he explained all this and was getting fed up being called a kid an therefor getting less chances than other players, you also should know that he already made his debut at Anderlecht at the age of 16 yo and played more than 100 games on a high level... and for me once your passed 18 your not an kid anymore anyways, although some may still be a kid mentally when they are 25 ... I doubt a "kid" could become the first foreign teenager in a league like this to score that much... (I am right aye? Only owen and fowler scored more?) Years Team Apps† (Gls)† 2008–2011 Anderlecht 73 (33) 2011– Chelsea 8 (0) 2012– → West Bromwich Albion (loan) 26 (13) National team‡ 2008 Belgium U15 4 (1) 2011 Belgium U18 1 (0) 2009 Belgium U21 5 (1) 2010– Belgium 19 (3 Y

I guess players will feel better if they have some people/friends they can speak with in their native language, whom they also know from youth and 1st squad @ national team, also in case of Belgium for sure, they are all players with the same objective for their national team: getting as good as possible to be sure they are selected for it + qualify for WC, if you can also work on that at clublevel thats very nice i guess. Also almost all our internationals play in the premier league, don't think thats a coincidence

Another idea might be Rudi Garcia, perhaps someone else can give more intel on him? As i myself dont know him that good, but from what i've seen from some of lille's games his playstyle is offensive/ lots of pressing and leans heavely on positioning which means our offensive players wouldnt have to run like crazy/backtrack all the time anymore. Kinda like Klopp's Dortmund. Hes good with youth, examples: hazard, cabaye, gervinho, debuchy... So well dont know...

Yeh its kinda weird Marin didnt get more chances by now to prove himself :/ sucky at training? As for Hazard, well he doesnt get the right balls at the right times as a winger, everything he has to force by himself / has to do things way to difficultly at the moment, but that will only become better once they know eachother better/we get a better coach that has a clue about positional play. Btw we should stay on topic or move this to Belgian NT topic

And DeBruyne is further in his development than piazon, still leif, carrying a team in a top 3/4 league is good enough to make the step to ours directly i think, enough examples, but yeh it will depend on our possible signings anyways.

² hes prolly most important player for them next to De Bruyne, they will have to watch out tho next season :/ (if De Bruyne doesnt come back)

Yeh , Arnautovic can be good but very inconsistent.

1-1 endscore, beautiful assist

Subbed 80th minute, nice round of applause, job well done!

Too bad for him, woulda been great for his stats/top scorer list.

+ watching the mazacar combo, when it works, in full action can be pretty awesome already.

Or these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Brgdd7PtqM

I am cheering for the following lineup: Azpi--Cahill/Iva/Luiz--Terry--Cole ------- Luiz/Lampard - Mikel ----- ---------Mazacar----------- -----------BA---------------- Terry cuz for me he we was the only one doing well against Bucharest. Mikel to keep tabs on Kagawa (will prolly play) and/or Rooney. Luiz (or Lampard) to be the well needed link between Defence and Oscar (or another AM) And well BA instead of Torres.. duh. If we dont plan to/if we cant link up properly, like in Bucharest, we may as well not put Hazard/Oscar on the field and go with Moses/Lampard. Then i would go for: Iva- Cahill -Terry--Cole ------- Luiz - Mikel ----- Mata---Lampard---Moses -----------BA----------------

I would only get him if : 1) we are tempted to buy another striker, but dont want to spend 50M to get someone like Cavani 2) we want 1/2 midfielders Because then he could play (well) on both positions. Any other situation i would go for witsel/modric... as a midfielder.

We should loan him to Werder Bremen instead of KDB next year, if he can manage there...

Gratz Peace !!!
