Oscar

Gundogan had many suitors, however, his health was a red flag so they wanted to wait for him another year. Gundogan, like Reus is on high wages and both of them didn't move, however, realistically both will move sooner than later. It was also reported that United refused to pay Reus his money (which makes no sense for either cases since Marital when for crazy money in transfer fee)..... Scotland sucks, but Gundo was really good today along kroos and muller. Healthy Gundogan >kdb. As robbery ages, Muller can reclaim his role on the right side and Gundogan or vidal or thiago can play behind Lewandowski, so, a player like Gundo has a place on Munich, unlike KDB

Same could be said about Reus. However, we all know both will leave bvb sooner rather than later and the big clubs will come in hard for them both. Javi is a huge question mark for Pep and even than, pep still plans to play him in the back, alonso will leave next summer. Also, robbery, will end sooner than later as well. Leaving Munich lacking in a few areas, so potentially they could do a Costa- Lewda-Muller Vidal-Gundogan Thiago Alaba-Boateng-benatia/javi-lahm or gundogan in the hole and thiago-vidal as pivots.

Matic-Cesc Pedro-willian-hazard Costa maybe the europe guys are tired and need to be rotated?

I can see munich going for gundogan next summer. He would be a better fit that pogba at barcelona as well.

I have my doubts on Koke actually working. Like Cesc, he is a turtle and at atletico he plays as left midfielder, rarely in the 2 middle spots..... People thought Koke coming into Chelsea would drop Oscar, but essentially it would drop Cesc. Gundogan has looked like 2012 Gundogan. I think a lot of the problems stems with the back. Thibo is brilliant goalkeeper defensively, however, isn't good in other aspects such as dribbling/ballhandling and long passes and quick ball release. Than, none of the cahill, zouma, terry are quick (zouma is fast, but not quick) and none can really setup the team well from the back like David luiz could or any brazilian/spanish CB. Than, the CMs. Matic is long and tall, so he can cover ground well, however, his stamina isn't that good, nor is his particulary on the fast or quick side and Cesc already has his phsyical limits. Oscar covered for them phsyical. but his pressing was absolutely better than any individual player I have ever seen am wise(granted other teams press well collectively). People say he sucks in the second half, however, when you look at him phsyically and the work he does in the first half, you can kind of assess why that does happen. Honestly, the idea that Jose has for the n10 on Chelsea is a position I think only a prime Vidal could play in the world.

Wilmots said hazard was the worse player on the pitch. Maybe mistranslation from the media?

Robben might be the most important player in international football. Especially, in Europe. Holland has completely sucked without Robben, while other teams can adapt, holland cannot. Holland was overrated in the world cup, but now, everyone can see how crap this holland team is...

I read that KDB agreed to terms with Munich very quickly, but bayern dropped out a day or so later. Makes no sense for Munich to take KDB or for Pep to try to implement him.

dont know assists. Can't find the info? Also, huge difference is that Oscar doesn't take most of the set pieces on brazil, its neymar. Taking away set pieces is huge for stats.

PSG will be interesting. I can see both pep and mourinho vying for the job(if they leave) and implementing their style with a few transfers and tweaks. Pep to either Manchester squads is far fetched judging upon the players already there. pep or Jose to PSG in 2016 and kick that incompetent manager Blanc out the door with a team argubly top 2 in terms of talent level in Europe.

This season at city will be tellingNot city winning bpl, but kdb and his play on a stacked team

And you think he's wolfsburg form of 14-15 would of been identical here? National team stats: Oscar: 44 games 12 goals KDB: 34 games 9 goals Oscar is a beast on brazil as well, even with neymar hogging the spotlight all the time.

Fellaini!

Only good matches: Beglium vs bosnia Holland vs iceland (just to see holland lose, haha)

Whose better outside of City, even without their summer signings still has the best team overall...

Jack Wilshere is fantastic player. Injury prone, yes, but when healthy, he is one of the best cm/am in the epl. Much better than ramsey is Jack Wilshere is still 23 years old and outside of inform yaya, no one in the epl is a better b2b midfielder.

Kos and gabriel/chambers over zouma-terry-cahill. Arsenal isn't the team that allowed 9 goals in 4 games.

Don't compare ronadinho to hazard. Hazard would tell you that would be a slap in the face to ronaldinho. Hazard, right now, is fantastic. One of the top 5 dribblers in the world with decent workrate and very good creativity. He could be better, but hazard is still amazing!

United team is not good at all. Their midfield is slow, Mata is slow and Rooney has to drop deep a lot to help the midfield. They have romero as gk, who might be the worse gk in the EPL along with blind as a cb. United has scored 2 goals in 4 games this year. Team was always overrated by people thinking Bastian was going to be the same bastian as 2012. Chelsea forwards: pedro, costa, remy better than united and arsenal. AMs: Arsenal i ranked the best, but they have too many cams on their squad. CMs: Pending on Jack, but without jack, chelsea has better midfield than those 2. Cbs. I prefer arsenal over united/chelsea GK. chelsea over both united and arsenal

Yea, if the same team was there you be right. However, losing Vidal is too much for Juventus. Vidal essentially covers for pirlo and pogba defensively/workrate. Now, Juve is left with pogba, stutaro, injury prone khedira , old marchisio and hernanes, who mancini was glad to sell. Dybala will score a lot, but not sure about the other forwards and zaza was going to get loaned out this year. Juve is old. Their time has come and essentially the old guard will be replaced with rugani as CB. Juve won like 4 years in a row because they were significantly better than everyone just like PSG is significantly better than everyone in France. However, Inter really made good signings and knowing mancini and his record in the league, he would excel with the current inter team. Melo-kongdobi-medel doesn't need to be as creative as barcelona. Melo is already a fantastic passer and Medel-kongdobia would destroy teams phsyically. If Mancini cared about "creativity" he would be reluctant to sell hernanes/start him, but he didn't. This is the same guy that had yaya/tevez as the n10 durin his man city days over david silva. Tell me what you rather have bonucci, chilleni, sturaro, khedira or juan, miranda, kongdobia and medel. All four of those inter guys played CB before. A key thing as well is that this inter teams isn't playing in europe this year, unlike roma and juventus will. That will be a huge benefit to mancini.

Luiz was not a JT captain, howeven, JT made a ton of personal mistakes as well. On the field and off the field. However, the young lads listened to Luiz very well and he is vice captain on both brazil Luiz was by far the best cb on this team for many years. Like many top agressive cbs in the world, they make mistakes and get burned often. (ramos, pique, boateng, silva, etc). He was the only proactive cb we had in many years.... Our midfield was compatible vs City and even better collectively with Luiz there and even in Europe. PSG, especially Verrati made Cesc and Matic look like youth kids. Selling luiz for 50m and than going around and paying stupid money for Stones, makes you wonder the huge mistake selling Luiz

The overall makeup of the team is still top 2 in the league (only City is better).... Should still be fighing for the title and domestic titles regardless of not getting pogba and a cb. However, Jose needs to be sacked in order for the fight to begin again.....

Hazard won the pfa award....

I never knew there was a thing called a "jewfro."

Another good option for Jose would be the current inter team. Medel-kongdobia-melo are ideal for jose. Athletic/strong cbs in miranda and juan.
