Toni Kroos

[iseah100 5,612]

Yep he been playing there mainly for Bayern this season as Pep don't trust Javi Martinez in that role and Bastian was injured for a long time at the start of the season. But he is also excellent as a CAM, played there for Bayern last season under Heynckes until he got injured.

Would you be willing to sell Oscar and replace him with Kroos?

Would you be willing to sell Oscar and replace him with Kroos?

For the right price yep as I mentioned. Although I would prefer us to keep Oscar and sign Kroos for free in 1 year. But if PSG decide to go mental again and bid 40-50m for Oscar after WC we can sell and get this guy to replace him.

That would be good, definitely an upgrade on Oscar. But max I would go for him is 20m-25m as he only got 1 year left, while Oscar we can sell for 40m.

Are you sure about Kroos>Oscar? Oscar is a great talent and a top class player. I am also a fan of Kroos and rate him high, however, I've seen some rather bad performances of Kroos playing very simple passes and slowing down the whole game. On the one hand, he surely has those deficits, on the other hand he is a very flexible player who can play in the front of the midfield but equally at the back as CM. Broadly speaking, not the worst deal we could make.

Local bavarian newspapers are appearing with the news, that Mourinho wants to replace Oscar with Kroos. Having lost faith in Oscar, José wants to bring Kroos to the Stamford Bridge.

Can you give a link mate ? Kroos would be such a wonderful signing.

[iseah100 5,612]

I don't want to sell Oscar. Next season he'll be great again like he was at the beginning of the season, we'll be more offensive minded next year soI he'll perform where he should. I think.

Jose dropped Mata for Oscar, why would be buy Kroos to replace Oscar then? Should have just kept Mata if he was ok playing a passenger at CAM. Kroos doesn't seem like a Mourinho type player. I doubt there's any truth to these rumours.

Couldn't find anything on this story in the European newspapers. Still, there's an article on Deportes Azteca website, a TV station in Mexico, written about an hour ago, that confirms what Jose1893 said.

El DT de Chelsea, José Mourihno, perdió la fe en el brasileño Oscar, clave durante buena parte del curso, pero no ofreció el rendimiento ni los resultados que se esperaban hacia el final de la liga.

yeah lets Jose replace the whole fucking team. Why cant he trust players for some time? Why he looks for instant success...we have big season ahead and trust me if we change GK, LB, CM, CAM and ST, our team wont be runnig motor, but another transition season.

[mannyfreshh 164]

No !!!!! Oscar > tony Cruz or whatever his name is.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I'm amazed at the amount of people here who claim to know Jose philosophy and love him as a manager who continually call on these slow players with no defensive I.Q as a player they would like to see Chelsea sign.

In Jose's world DEFENSE leads to OFFENSE, we need people capable of winning the ball and putting in a shift. One dimensional players need not apply.

Ahh, that's why I'm not impressed by him! Thanks for reminding me, he's SLOW AS FUCK! Oscar is better.

LOL how on earth is Kroos an upgrade on Oscar???

[magic weeds 446]

Maybe Javi Martinez would be appropriate

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Its amazing how a few people here just forget about our own players and go on supporting players of other clubs.

Sounds like a fake story.

Toni Kroos is an upgrade on Oscar and people who are talking like he can't play in a counter-attacking system just doesn't know him. Look at his perfomance against Arsenal in 12-13. Under Heynckes in 11-12 too,..

[Pizy 18,368]

I think Hazard and Oscar are two untouchables in José's eyes. He won't sell either of them.

please explain how on earth Kroos is an upgrade on Oscar? first off they dont even play the same position!

Oscar is a much much better goalscorer, much better defensively, suits a counter attacking system much better, links play in the final third better, better creativity in the final third and has much better potential then Kroos.
