chrismada9 1,948 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 That is Luka's number exactly .. plus, it's a free number, and no-one has used it since Claudio Pizarro some 3 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Different from his customary 4-1-2-1-2 formation used for his previous successful squads, Schaaf saw the talent of all three players when played in their favoured positions and went forward with a 4-2-3-1 formation with Marin and Hunt on opposite wings while Ozil played behind the lone striker with some rotation amongst the three, showing that Marin had a little versatility to play across the front three.This makes me wonder if Robbie had some input into this. It's clear he prefers to play 4-2-3-1 to get Mata in the middle, but we really lack the players to play out wide. I think it's a good signing. He has been forced to play out of position since Ozil left, and that won't happen at Chelsea - Mata is and will remain the main man in the middle for us. With a couple of genuine wide men, this formation will be the beginning of the evolution of our football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 14 will go to KDB. I say he should get 15 if Malouda leaves, or 13, but I doubt he would want 13, Ballack wore it before and would be nice that new german in our club gets that number.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 fair enough. he's a step up from Kalouda but he isn't the big transfer we are craving for is he?Many of us in the transfer thread suggested Junior Hoilett and i feel he would have been better 7million euros cheaper than Marin (also, adjusted to Prem League. pacy enough. dead eye for goals)Being Canadian naturally I wanted Hoilett too especially because we could've had him on a free... Oh well not disappointed the club went out and got Marin, with Romans bank it probably feels like a free anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Ive seen nothing that makes me think Kakuta will succeed at Chelsea. He is rubbish completely rubbish.Well he's been very, very good on loan to Dijon this year so you never know! what is he 21? hard to call a player rubbish at 21...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Not at all i don't think Junior Hoilett is that good, he's the most inconsistent player ever, you hear about him on match of the day once a month, two times if you're lucky.He's still a definite worth signing for a free, definitely. He has amazing flair, but very inconsistent performer, he will be a great asset to our bench though.I wonder if that has anything to do with being on Blackburn? Hmmmm....

Uhmm no they don't stop going on about shining players in the premier league mid teams and relegation teams. Every match they have on match of the day they discuss them, Hoillet has one good game a month usually, he's very inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look at him play he will have 1 good game in 5, but that 1 good game will be an amazing game. So shut it dick head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 ------------Romeu----------------Mata-----Kagawa---Hazard----Cavani---MarinNot gonna happen and I dont like having 4 completely new players in attack. Romeu is not yet ready to play alone in DM.Kagawa, Marin and Mata? They are very small and fragile, they have no clue of tracking back and overall, our team never play attacking football too much (look what happend when AVB tried it). Cavani is 30, Hazard 40, Kagawa 15 and we already got Marin for 8 plus we need RB. We wont spend 100 mio for new players. We cant afford it...Your players are good, but too many of them, and they dont fit chelsea. We always had stronger players, Mata and Marin are only two to be non strong. Forget Kagawa. I would go after Azpi, Moutinho and Hulk. We dont need striker if Torres stays. And I would give Drogs one year extention. Danny is also available. Hazard will be realy expensive, Hulk would be better because of his stocky build.And in your team, there is no Ramires, WTF? You think he is not good enough and would bench him and buy new players on his position? Hell NO!!!Iva-Luiz/Cahill-Terry-ColeRamires/Moutinho-MikelMataHulk-Torres-MarinKDB, Dannny, Bertrand, Meireles, Drogba, Lamps, Azpi,...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just like Mata, this has come out of nowhere. Seems Chelsea are becoming good at the under-the-wraps transfers, hopefully it's a lessons arrived from the Modric saga. It makes it sweeter to know Tottenham wanted him too, it really is Mata mk II. Anyway not gonna pretend to know a whole lot about him by watching endless fan videos on YouTube. But he's young, he's a winger and the reported fee of €7m + Lukaku loan seems a very good deal. Especially because Bremen need a striker since Pizzaro will be leaving them this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavy Crockett 190 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Until I've seen them playing in a Chelsea shirt I'm not sure about Marin and De Bruyne as starters but I don't have any complaints about this signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
