Left wing imo

Will Schurrle take Moses' spot? This also surely means that Marin will be on his way...

Marin gone? Dancin' time.

Marin has been as good as gone for months now, never fit enough nor good enough to even get a proper chance and Benitez sure isn't going to play him now when there's so much at stake. Doesn't matter though, I'm sure there's still someone willing to pay around five million for Marin given his reputation and the relatively low wages guarantee interest from slightly smaller clubs as well so there's no chance we're going to be stuck with him like we have with the likes of Benayoun.

And yes, one could assume that the imminent arrival of Schürrle would mean less playing time for Moses. However, there's no way Mata, Hazard and Oscar are capable of playing another season like this one and therefore they're going to need much more rest next season so there's still plenty of games for everyone. De Bruyne could easily fit in too if the new manager decides to bring him back, which most of us of course are hoping for.

ST/LW

Left wing imo

But that is Hazard's best and main position. No way Schurrle will be playing there if he's going to be a 1st choice player in the team.

Heard he can play on the RW as well but not so effective there.

Play

Schurrle Mata Hazard

Which will rotate round during the games as they do now,

so then

Hazard Mata Schurrle.

I am not buying this whole, Hazard is ineffective at Right wing, but amazing at Left wing. And the way our front 3 work they rotate around anyway.

It's like playing Robben at LW, you take away his best trick which is cutting in and having a shot at goal.

Hazard plays RW almost every game, and there have been times he's started from there - doesn't change anything, he can still beat his man and create space for others.

What makes you think he's going to be a starter?

But he is not as comfortable nor as effective as on the left and you simply dont prioritize fucking Schurrle over Hazard!

This deal is so wrong in so many ways: overpriced, KDB, not a real RW, probably not what Mourinho wants...

Is there any real RW available, that we have been linked to? with the exception of Di Maria who i don't believe Madrid will sell then i can't think of any.

And Hazard is a very good player, he can play well on the right, and has an unbelievably strong weaker left foot. It's not prioritizing if Schurrle-Mata-Hazard is better than any other combination we have.

Exactly. Its about the best combo for the team... And the way our front 3 work i don't think it would be a problem.

Di Maria and Sanchez are very realistic options...

Barcelona clearly wants Neymar by the summer and this leaves no space for Villa and Sanchez. While Real will have a major revamp and, according to Marca, Kaka/Di Maria/Higuain/Pepe top the list of players they want to sell.
