Pizy 18,907 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 if only we'd sign Rooney now and Roman with a last minute gift to Mourinho would get Witsel from his russian friends rooneyeden mata willian witsel rami :sweating: :sweating: :sweating: :sweating: Swap around Hazard and Willian and we could win the CL again with that lineup.

DDA 9,938 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I was referring to BlueMourinhoKing who made that comment. I partly agree with you but ignore the Villa game, when Mata is out wide right for instance, he will not necessarily stay there. He will roam all about the pitch looking for the ball, dropping into holes and I think Mourinho still sees this in him and once Mata is fully match sharp I believe he would do a good job out there. Like Ozil, he sometimes will start off there but gradually interchange positions within the game. Yea that is true but that is also where the problem is in Mata playing wide. We need a winger who is going to hog the flank for width in big games. Thats why City got Navas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Willian deal can piss Spuds offOffers another option in the midfield as a DLP?Willian is an attacking midfielder.Anyway I dont feel WIllian brings anything we already dont have. Sure hes a good player and it gives us more options but still, Moses who had an excellent pre-season wasn't in the squad vs Hull or VIlla so who else comes of the bench for Willian, Demba Ba? Lukaku? Schurrle? De Bruyne? Lampard? We only had 1 defender on the bench vs Hull too so its really really really stupid to get another attacking midfielder for a big price where they will need to be in the match squad every week.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 So what, people are supposed to be happy with a signing that doesn't make sense in their opinion? Why should we be happy about spanking out £30m on a player we don't need? Doesnt make sense? to who? You,the championship manager brigade on here? Jose Mourinho has approved this,1 of the greatest managers about has determined we need this fella so it makes sense to him and thus it does make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Neither will be happening, Oscar moving to CDM WILL NOT EVER HAPPEN.I don't think it should. But how else do you manage that many players? Plus he played in the pivot last match during the second half until he was substituted.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Man City look like favourites for the league this season. Why? They have top quality players in every position and in depth. They have 4 or so strikers who would be undisputed #1 strikers for the majority of the other clubs in the world. Man City's strength is scoring goals, so they focus on goalscorers. Jovetic, Aguero, Dzeko, Negredo.How did that turn out? Tevez with shirts burned and Balotelli almost beating Mancini? Dezko threatening to leave?Negredo is a bench player and didnt cost City 32mil and Jovetic is a young promissing player who knows he will have to fight for position. Not slightly the same thing with Chelsea!How did Juventus go about winning Serie A last season? By having the best defence record in the league, players being: Chiellini, Cáceres, Barzagli, Bonucci, Marrone. Juve's strength is their defence and thus they've kept it packed with players to ensure injuries etc. won't be too costly.Last time I learned how to count, that is 5 players for 3 spots. With none of them on 150k/week nor with stagerring transfers fees. Plus, Marrone is just a rotational dude...Now a team who use the exact same formation as us and are best to compare to, favourites for the league this season, Bayern Munich: Thiago, Ribery, Robben, Shaqiri, Gotze, Muller, Kroos. That's 7.Ask Shaqiri how he is feeling. Wait 6 months for one of Gotze, Muller or Robben to start complaining to the media about playing time. And lets see for how much time Bayern's financial stability will last with all thoses big players in their wage bill. You play to your strengths. Our strengths are mainly in retaining the ball and making a lot of passes in the opposition's box area (roughly). As it's our main strength, we must make sure that the players responsible for this strength are properly covered and up to scratch.Exactly!And that is why we already have Hazard, Oscar, Mata, KDB, Shurrle and Moses...Moses did a lot this pre-season, but half as much last season. We shouldn't pass up signing a should-be-superstar just because "Moses is a fine squad player". You don't win titles with a "fine" squad. You win titles with an exceptional squad.Manure disagrees, Dortmund disagrees, Valencia disagrees, etc, etc, etc...Willian is a better player than Moses. So why not sign him?Because he is a luxury we dont really need!Real life doesnt work like that, it is not FIFA or Football Manager where everything gets solved in the bush of a button...Don't be scared of depth ????
