CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes but hardly due to Oscar winning us games is it? Hazard has been winning us games recently. Not to go into tactics too much here, but it is the role that Oscar as well the striker has been playing and their movement in the final third that is allowing Hazard to win us game recently (taking nothing away from Hazard himself, of course).

yuvala 2,167 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Surely we have to get something out of this deal other than money which we already have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It's been due to the consistency of our 3 Attacking Mids. They play and interchange so well together. I'll tell you its not our world class striker, our solid back four, or stout CDMs winning us games. It certainly isn't Oscar either so settle the fuck down. Mata won us games by himself creating numerous assists and scoring goals as did Drogba in the past and as Hazard has started doing now. You take Mata out of that Chelsea team in 2011-12 and 2012-13 and we'd not have been as successful. guddy69 and Azpinator 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 To sell him is ok, to sell him to United is terrible. Sometimes people at our club really don't have a clue what are they doing. Lets see what happens.Also Mata would turn out to be quite a hypocrite in the end, after all the love and attention he got from us. Very very disappointing.

Thendo 1,088 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Why would we want a pre-agreement for Rooney? We are in much more need of a top striker than they are of a nr 10 playmaker right now...Getting Rooney in january could well win us the title...

Hes not an inferior footballer to Oscar, far far from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That was this morning. Someone actually posted the link to the article here in this thread. From what I can see there is literally nothing on the Guardian site relating to anything like that. Would you be able to locate the link? guddy69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 A little off topic question, is it true that Rooney can buy out his contract this summer and join whatever team he wants for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not an inferior footballer to Oscar, far far from it. It's not like Mou is focusing on William, Oscar, and Hazard and telling Mata to fuck off. And the claim I'm making isnt that Oscar is superior to Mata, I'm making the claim that Oscar is the better player for us right here right now.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 But you take him out of this team and we're in the title hunt which we haven't been in in a few years. Pick your poison bro.We were in the title hunt last year sitting in third just 4 points off Utd before RDM was sacked. That was the United side that walked the League at a canter not the one currently languishing in 7th. Azpinator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 United need Rooney if they hope to finish in a CL place, no chance they will sell him now.Then we must not sell them Mata to make it more possible. bababoom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick your poison bro.Still you are making out as if Mata hasn't been the best player to play for this club (imo) since Zola in terms of ability... I'd rather have Mata than Oscar. I'd rather have Mata than most players in the world in his position except for maybe Ozil. Azpinator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think that time is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
