Guest justin_3d Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Well it falls down to last minute spending as i was thinking.But even with the last minute spending Chelsea will become title contenders again, cause it would have been hard to do it with Kalou, Anelka and Malouda.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 aren't we rushing ahead of our time with all the De Bruyne and Hazard thing?De Bruyne looks certain to join. Regarding Hazard, he is my preference. Either him or Gotze would do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm a big Gotze fan, so he's my preference but both are fantastic.Yeah, agree both are going to be huge stars. But i think in a few years they will either go to Barcelona or Real madrid, it's just what tends to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 If we end up signing Juan Mata and Luka Modric i think it will have been a fantastic summer for us and it would put in a great position to really fight on all fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Tbh I don't see how Mata is different from Malouda apart from being 8 years younger.Both aren't your typical pacy wingers who are direct and neither are they any good at dribbling past the defenders.We needed Hazard or Gotze. I don't believe we missed Turan who was much cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFear 23 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 ^^ I second that. I would rather see Hazard than Mata. We so desperately need someone who an beat 2-3 ppl with their dribbling. Mata doesn't do that. Im not saying he is bad, but Hazard defeinitely over Mata anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one thing Mata can do is dribble and he is good at beating players. He is also a good passer, and crosser. But i would still rather Hazard, but both are great.

Mata has some very good pace , his comparison with malouda is a total nonsense , they have 2 totally different games and btw Messi , Ronaldo , Neymar are not "typical wingers" , Mata is more of a typical winger than any of those.

Messi is more of a second striker, Ronaldo is a utility player on attacking front and Neymar is listed as forward in wikipedia... so none of them are pure wingers, Ronaldo probably the one being the closest. And I actually like that Mata isn't one dimensional, that he can play on wings and in centre, shows some versatility and that he has different qualities... hopefully he has intelligence to play only one of the roles he's assigned, not drift out of it always.

What i meant by typical winger is just that Neymar and Hazard are more often going to try and beat a player with their pace and skill. I don't think Mata is that type of player but i may be wrong.
