Despiadado.Maleante 1,046 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri Very tricky. I say Neymar to be the best within 3/4 years, but with Messi up there too. Hope will be there around also Willian and Shaqiri Obviouly wont happen now. Via SKY ITALY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I wasn't sure when we were first linked with Willian back under AVB, but after watching him play well against us twice I can see he's a brilliant player.To anybody who is still sceptical ask you to think back to last season when Oscar, Hazard and Mata were played to exhaustion because Benayoun and Marin were the alternatives. Think of that time we played Bertrand at LW in a Champions League final. Now look at all the options we have. Absolutely amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustafa 885 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Call me crazy but i think Jose Mourinho bought Willian as a replacement for the man who started as a 'False 9' for us at Old Trafford.... I think that he wants to develop Schurrle into a striker perhaps. If he does see Schurrle as a striker then he'd need someone to fill in the gap in midfield that Andre left. Hence the signing of WillianI think that secretly Jose was hoping against hope that Schurrle would prove to the world that he infact has the ability to be an out and out striker at Old Trafford. This didnt happen but I think thats the route he's taking. As for all of our other strikers... well, he's given Torres a chance (which quite frankly i think is a waste of time); he's given Ba a chance but he's yet to give Romelu a chance. So i think that Torres and Ba should be out of the equation leaving you with 2 strikers (one of whom is still being developed), Schurrle and Lukaku.

Weckerz 3,781 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I don't know him well enough to have a decent opinion, but if he's as good as Eden as some claim on here, well.. brilliant signing!glhf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic weeds 446 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I think this is an Eden Hazard on the Right Wing. They both have similar attributes. Low CoG, very good technically, very fast, tricky, flashy etc. Now put Mata at 10 rotating with Oscar. KDB rotates with Willian while Shurlle rotates with Hazard or CF. Lukaku/Etoo/Torres Hazard/Schurlle-----Mata/Oscar---------Willian/KDB Lampard/MvG------------Ramires/Essien/Mikel Cole/Ryan---Terry/Luiz---Cahill/IVA----Azp/Iva Cech/ShwazerWe are good to go. and that is what we call DEPTH. Maybe we need one CB, cuz of Kalas' injury. But from that list, I can count 22 players (Including Kalas). exactly what Mou was asking. In other words, Ba and Moses are gone on load and sold respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Same. Lot of wingers have become great CFs. Henry and RVP are gr8 examples.RVP and Henry were strikers that had capabilities to play up front. Schurrle is a wide player that has capabilities to play out wide. It really isn't the same.
