I don't think so...

I think Mourinho did want the whole Modric for Oscar swap and wasn't media driven...

First I've heard of that rumor.

All I know is that José just reiterated yesterday that Oscar was our best player in the early part of the season. Hazard is easily our best player and our only global superstar.

No reason to sell.

The only #10 I could see José swapping Oscar with is Özil whom he admittedly loves.

anyone liked Pippo Inzaghi in his day? If Drmic becomes the player he could be, I think he is the next Inzaghi or Suarez. Arsenal ready to buy him apparently.

Inzaghi and Suarez are the polar opposite of each other as a player...

You mean that one is slow and cannot finish with every part of his body and every part of his foot? I know why you would say 'they are polar opposites," but I don't think you know why I mention both of them just now.

Inzaghi was a pure poacher who had an excellent finish and was always in the right positions at the right time, whilst Suarez is a dribbler, needs the ball at feet, can play at either flanks or behind the main striker etc.

Completely different type of strikers.

Isn't he on his way to Leverkusen already?

Yes, I understand that. Drmic IMO will probably not become a Suarez in terms of creating something through his dribble (probably more with less touches and more passing in the case of Drmic), but could be a bit of both of these kinds of player (even if he has not yet scored those Inzaghi headers yet). From my point of view, even though Suarez will create more than the poacher Inzaghi, in terms of finishing, I have not seen so many forwards that have such ability and awareness. Raul was another.

I'm speaking of finishing in the context of Inzaghi, Suarez, and Drmic.

If Jose meant seriously that he wants a striker similar to his describtion (can create, can score etc.), he will pay as much as required to get such striker. And such striker isnt cheap.. I can see him splasing big money, but question is of any of such strikers will move (Cavani, Suarez, Benzema,...)

Agreed, technical strikers are hard to come by these days. Unlike most i'm still holding the faith that Cavani could be on his way, (naive probably to think so, but hey crazy things have happened). The only striker 'semi-available' that fits the bill is Cavani,, God knows he wasnt talking about Costa with that description.

Cavani-Lukaku-Eto'o (if he stays) and Schurrle is a fine combination IMO.

One thing i'd like to see form JM next year is Schurrle as a second striker. Never saw that this season, only a false nine. Pulling a 442 against the lower teams can help throw a different look and keep the oppositions CBs occupied instead of the lone-wolf when we defend.

[quickpassnmove 924]

yeah. but he is also able to play for USA. or is about to be able to.

I didn't know about this kid. That's a special player for us, in the U.S. Finally some East African who lived in the U.S. is getting a chance.
