He has what it takes to be our number 1 winger alongside Hazard? Do you seriously believe that?

he has what it takes to be a very good backup in case willian gets injured.

if you are going to compare every possible winger option to hazard, i am sorry, you wont find ANY available options that are good enough to lace his boots.

[iseah100 5,612]

Doesn't mean much to me at all, he's been the best of a bad bunch... He'll get a chance but he isn't good enough to be a starter here IMO. Maybe okay to be a squad player here.

I disagree. He's proven himself in the PL, he is fearless, strong, fast. He'd do wonders for us, but it's irrelevant cause we'll play with Willian-Oscar-Hazard.

What do you exactly disagree with, him being good enough to be our number one winger on the right or him just being a squad player here?

Given the chance, he could be our first choice rw.

[cfcs most wanted 657]

He has good energy and pace but dosen't have anything which sets him apart from the others

[The Skipper 20,609]

Given the chance, he could be our first choice rw.

Even if he did cement the opportunity to become our first choice RW, would you be satisfied with Moses being our starting RW for the next couple of seasons?

If he performed at a high level, which he is capable of, then absolutely. It would give the club money to spend on a midfielder or defender.

Fair enough, but I just don't see him doing that. Can't ever see Victor Moses performing to a world class standard consistently and there will always be better players out there, but each to their own I suppose.

For me personally, Moses has done nothing to over impress me over pre season because I know exactly what sort of player he is.

Players can always improve. We're just so used to the opposite that we dont expect it anymore.

Moses is nowhere near starting 11 quality, not for a title wining and UCL challenging side.

False

Neither is Willian or Juan IMO, but those are the options we're stuck with.

[1chelsea 864]

Nothing working for Chelsea in this transfer window not even one top quality player yet till date

[Unionjack 7,531]

It would be nasty if Chelsea sign Zenit duo - Witsel and Hulk just what we need to push for the CL title

Ohhhh please no more with the Hulk! We've had bloody years being linked with him. I reckon (HOPE) if it was going to happen it would have done by now. And he signed a 2 year extension in Feb

Anyways Kenedy is supposedly the 'NEW HULK'

[nadavTKL 1,787]

So Di Maria signed for PSG, what do you think about them? can they make the step-up right now?

In 3 seasons in CL their biggest achievement was probably knocking us out last season, and imo they didnt made a real progress for all this time, interesting to see how they will look now, they have a lot of quality in the squad. Probably more than us.

Much more quality than us.

[Unionjack 7,531]

It seems to me theres about as much passion on here right now as there is on the pitch.

I know we cant do fuck all about it apart from bitch and whine but its hurting me just how bad we are right now.

You cant go saying that someones a troll just because he doesn't agree with the consensus.

[DYC. 7,542]

Much more quality than us.

They've got some quality players (Silva, Verratti, Di Maria, Cavani/Ibra) and some brilliant young players (Marquinhos, Aurier, Rabiot, Lucas), along with good and solid players. I'd sell Ibra and start a new team (Ibra alone hugely influences the way they play, he's so dominant). They could use two extra squad options though, one in midfield and one up front. And they should've appointed Klopp.

Sirigu

Aurier Silva Marquinhos/Luiz Maxwell

Verratti Motta

Lucas Pastore Di Maria

Cavani

I'd rather invest in developing Marquinhos but Luiz cost a lot of money.

Motta wants to leave though. They'll lack a good holding midfielder without him.

Good team but also with it's issues. Their attacking line is light on goals. 3 creators and 1 scorer. Downside of the team. But an abundance of technique in midfield.

They'll probably end up playing Cavani on the wing, waste Marquinhos and Lucas on the bench and play everything through Zlatan though.

I agree about Zlatan, but im not sure they can afford to let him go without bringing another top Winger or a versatile striker like Lacazette. Lucas is still not there, it seems.

I think playing Cavani on the wing is just not good enough especially when facing the best teams of Europe, it holds them back. So i agree about your formation, But dont think it will happen.

Zlatan, Cavani, Di Maria and Verratti will be starters, so its another 2 from Motta (was not the same last season), Matuidi (big desicion for Blanc to bench him) and Pastore (who seems to show his talent more and more).

Btw Khelaifi said today that Zlatan and Motta will stay (both contracts ends in a year).

[ZOS 580]

We might still be favorites for the EPL but, by being complacent during the transfer window, Chelsea has effectively forfeited it's chances in the champions league this season, and this is not typical of Jose or Abramovic. Something else is going on.
