Victor Moses

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

I'd like to take back all of my previous objections against Moses.

I just read that Lukaku's gone out on loan, we need a 3rd striker as soon as possible.

I hope Moses is not our 3rd striker. Would not be much better than going into the season with Torres, Sturridge and Lukaku IMO.

Lukaku and Sturridge wouldn't be happy as backups though.

[LeonDavis23 371]

surely this guy must be signed with lukaku going on loan at west brom, we need an extra striker.

[Hutcho 8,443]

moses isn't a direct replacement as a third striker however he can play there and for wigan he plays rw with di santo down the middle for many of the games. he is a useful squad player to be used when needed as a back up striker or at rw which has become his primary position.

[Hutcho 8,443]

and on the Oscar front the freedom he will get from playing cam is why he should play there. we want him to be able to get the ball and move about freely without having to ensure someone is covering his position at dm, and being limited in that way. i personally think he will play in the centre of the 3, but rdm can do what he likes and we will just have to wait and see. he could even play ramires at rw all season. which i wouldn't be too pleased with but it wouldn't be the weirdest thing ever. my 5 i think has to be

Mata Oscar hazard

mikel lampard

with rambo as a supersub for anywhere Moses as a sub at rw and st if we need to.

Marin lw

malouda lw

essien and Romeu in the pivot.

raul for anywhere if we have a lack of players for some season in a position.

Wigan take Miyaichi from Arsenal on loan.

Think, we'll announcement Moses deal soon.

The way it should be done, nobody wants another Robinho saga.

Apparently a bid is accepted

y not

hazard mata marin/rambo. playing oscar as cam in his 1st season in epl seems to risky.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Oscar should play in double pivot and that's it.

No.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

I urge the fans who doubt Moses to not be so skeptical as he is a promising talent and a perfect candiate for a 3rd choice striker or winger this season.There aren't many players out there who are willing to accept a minimal role and be worthy of playing for us.

i honestly don't see it as that risky as with Mata and hazard next to him and lampard behind him its not like we are putting all our eggs in on basket. But we (me included) are getting very off topic in this thread.

[warnie_666 1,081]

Moses will be wasted here behind Marin and Ramirez.

[1chelsea 864]

u never know if he waste for sure untill it happens, it can still happen the other way round

[The Skipper 20,593]

Leif, that's exactly how I see it too. I can imagine Hazard who's better at penetrating the ball than anyone else on our team playing behind Torres in a sort of second striker role (sort of). I think it would work pretty well.

I can envision a team consisting of Torres, Mata, Hazard in the hole, Hulk/Moses, Oscar and Mikel working very well to break down those games where we face stupid and stubborn defences.

yes we are getting off topic but that is because the signin seems to be almost done and dusted.

also i feel we would play around mata with him being the center of the attack and every1 feeding off him. so its hard to see oscar taking the cam role.

This is a depth signing. Abramovich has signed it seems dozens of these 8-15 million dollar players in his tenure. Moses is a strong build player who can player up top or outwide. He is a different type of player than Marin, who is expected to be on the bench. Marin is a playmaker while Moses is more of a bruiser and strong player. And unlike Lukaku, he isn't demaning first team action.

I don't see how Moses "takes up a spot."

Malouda, Benayoun are likely gone, and De Bruyne, Lukaku and McEachran are going out on loan.

Oscar, Hazard, Marin, Mata, Moses, Torres and Sturridge are your guys for that 3-1 formation up top.

Lampard, Essien, Ramires, Obi Mikel and Romeu are going to be in the 2 holding spots.

Then Meireles is on the outs. Now if they bring in Cavani, Hulk or Schurrle, then different story.
