Yep ... he ALWAYS delivers. I rate him higher than Hazard for now. So fucking consistent and creepily good. Comon Roman .... do it!

Yeah you right, he is our best player right now.

I can see one fucking world class 4-3-3 midfield next year like this :

---------- Witsel ---------

---- Mata ------- Oscar-

RW--------------- Hazard

---------- Striker ----------

I see us getting absolutely smashed on the counter...

But it does look pretty sweet in attack.

Witsel will take care of that - also Oscar next year. Just suppose we have Schurrle on the right there who backtracks ..... we would be more solid defending than we are now, I'd guess. :-)

Cavani

I think bale would fit in very well at bayern.Ribery is 30 and wont be getting any younger so they should offload him and sign bale.

[ChelseaKid10 35]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Are you kiddin me? Why should a two times German Champion like Lewandowski make a move to a mid-table EPL team where he would probably get paid less and would not play internationally? Have you actually ever watched a minute of football?

Yeah. Finally someone else who wants narsingh. Fuckin beast that guy. Pacy , clinical + cheap.

true.

classy CB like

Hummels or Garay - 25m

solid DM with great all-round skills like

Gonalons, Bender, Capoue 15m+

good DLP like

Benat, Gündogan, Strootman (DM or DLP?)15m+

pacy, out and out winger

Narsingh, Alexis Sanchez 10-25m

striker who offers more than Ba or Lukaku

Aspas, Schürrle, Lewa 15-25m+

so let's buy 5 players

promote a goalie, KDB as second option for CAM and DLP, get back Lukaku,

Outs: Torres (15m) Marin (7m), Essien (10m) Benayoun, hilario, Turnbull, Ferreira, Malouda etc can leave for free. (I know already said multiple times but it just feels so good to write 'em out )

Fucking Mug, I was talking about Aubameyang.

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

Priorities

Striker : Lewandowski

DLP : Gundogan/Moutinho

DM : Bender/Capoue or (wishfull thinking) Witsel

-----

RW : Someone who stays wide, runs in behind the defence a lot.

CB : just a quality cb

Anyways, I get what you are saying and I agree, but I dont think we would have such an inflated squad if those players returned.

For instance, does anyone believe Malouda, Benayoon and Marin will stay? If not, we would have Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Moses, Schurrle and KDB for 3 starting positions. Consedering the amount of games we play a season + the fact Mata and Oscar will again not have a decen summer vacation (because of shit Confederations Cup), is that really too many players?

I really want KDB back because with all the players going away and the fact Mata and Oscar will have another busy summer, he will be indeed used. I also really want Torres, Marin, Mikel and Lampard gone. With this, we could buy a CM, DM, CB, ST and Schurrle without spending 100+ nor any more money on wages.

Hum... I don't really know...

First off, will we play, during the upcoming season, as many as we did this year ? We won't play in the Community Shield, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA World Cup. That's four game less, and it won't provoc congestion early in our schedule. Furthermore, we have been in three semi-final this year : FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League. Will we repeat that next year ? Especially if we are in Champions League, that will be hard to get three semi-finals. Plus, we had to play two replay in the FA Cup. One of them was unnecessary, the other one was a bad timing (the four games in nine days). I think we are bound to have a season less fraught than this year. Finally, we won't be dealing with the negative effects caused by the CAN.

Then, he might end up with Schürrle. We can picture that it will have a significant positive effect on the situation (regarding the AM) - unless if he's a flop, but oh well... We can assume without geting carried away that Schürrle is a 25/30-starts-a-season kind of player ; that's more starts than Marin and Benayoun combined. In addition, I'm pretty sure that Schürrle can replace either Mata, Hazard or Oscar in a big game without dramatically damage the quality of our front-three ; just as Moses. On the paper, it's a big step compared to this year. This way, I believe that we can perform an efficient turn-over — probably not the best, but much better than this season — and thus keep our AMs healthy.

And there's another angle from which to see things. For instance, against Manchester United in the League Cup, we had to to play our big guns because our bench couldn't defeat United's. I believe that we were in this case more than once. I think it's safe to assume that our bench will be improved significantly. Thus, more rest for our starting players against weak teams. Moreover, we have been over-reliant to Mata and Hazard, and to a lesser extent Oscar. Why ? Because aside them, we don't really have players to drive the team, to make things happen (especially regarding our strikers and our double-pivot players). That means that if we find a very very good midfielder, or even find a performing midfield (I refuse to think that the Club won't fix our midfield problems), then this over reliance upon them will be lessened ; they will be able to get more rest against weak and mid-table sides...

We also have Bertrand we can provide cover for the left-wing spot... Granted he does not set the world alight when he's playing there ; though, if as I said we will improve our squad quality, he shouldn't be too much of an weight if the others around him are good.

From this perspective, the situation in regards of the players' fatigue does not look that bad, (even if you considere that, as you pointed-out, Oscar and Mata won't have a proper rest during holidays). That's sure that having de Bryune as the sixth AM wouldn't be a luxury at all, but I still presume that we can live without that sixth player.

Nonetheless, as I aforementioned, I do not really know. That's just assumptions. I believe that whether de Bruyne will be needed or not depend on how much we do strengthen our other areas. If we do good enough in that regards, then it will be the best for him as he would be able to play week-in week-out (-> he will have a better environment to develop as a player) ; and for us as well, on the long-term (we wouldn't slow up his development).

P.S. Well, I hope you understand me, because it's late here and I am kinda blazted.

No, we should get a time machine, go back to 1988, and get Van Busten. He's a BEAST!

Don't know him lol, was he any good? did he scored 22 premier league goals with a shit liverpool side ? I don't think so mate

Tottenham will only consider letting Gareth Bale leave for a massive £65m

Bayern can afford it no doubt.
