LondonsFinest 692 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I love it when people talk for him, like they watch Shahkthar 24/7. From where act. is this knowledge based? That being said, I have my heart set on the colombian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Does anyone think we'll sign both Costa and Cuadrado? if we sell Salah and Schurrle i could see it happening. Right now the main trio (Hazard,Oscar and Willian) are starting basically every game, it's kind of ridiculous. If it means Jose will start rotating the squad i'm all for it. I would rather we sign Cuadrado and promote a youngster (Boga) but if Jose doesn't trust Salah or shurrle i doubt he'll trust a youth product starting a PL/FA/League cup game.

Chelsea can do the same way City did with Bony - buy now and cover the FFP money in the summer. Schurrle out for 23m. Cuadrado in for 23m. FFP covered now.Douglas Costa in for 16m. Thorgan Hazard out for 6m and Salah out for 11m, with FFP covered in the summer because of the Salah deal. Plus 1m profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 2,827 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Our team is gonna be full of guys with nothing but good workrate.That is the Mou way. I'm not sure why you're surprised. We're never going to get a player that pushes up offensively and is constantly beating his man on the other wing. Jose is perfectly fine having Hazard do that, and occasionally have Matic push up, but the other winger in our system will always essentially be a wing back. So naturally it will be a player who is a work horse and who tracks back like crazy. Why do you think a player like Schurlle is falling out of favor and is now most likely leaving? Because he only plays the offensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he only plays the offensive side. Well the formula of Hazard in the free(ish) role and the right winger running around like a dog has got us 5 points clear at the top of the league playing our best football for years and scoring the most goals in the PL.While his end product might be a bit frustrating Willian has been a key element to our success so far.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If we buy both Costa and Cuadrado then we will have three right wingers with silky skills but no one who can actualy finishes actions. I rather buy realy good winger for 40m with Willian as back up rather than 25m Cuadrado AND 15m Costa. But why the fuck is Mou even looking at these fancy players when we never play open in big games. Instead a no nonsense winger with good pass shot and cross would be more effective than all that dribble jibble from Willian or Costa who would only slow our counters down.Get Cuadrado or no one and wait for quality in summer. Im bit tired of buying decent (but still overpriced) wingers who fail and we have to sell them and buy new ones...almost every year. Why not just splash 30-40-50m on that one guy and settle for next 5 years. Hazard at the time was bit more expensive but it worked. We always go for that category of not realy expensive but still a lot. And we ger overpriced, hyped players with little improvement. Bring someone from top leagues who is proven and has good potential not ukrainian flavour of the month.And for Costa and Cuadrado, I dont think we will or should buy both, probably we dont want to pay full price for Cuad and now looking for alternatives. I would prefer fucking Payet, Valbuena or Candreva ahead of another ukrainian brazil dribbling guy who I already see will waste chances and be no where seen in big games...but Ive been wrong before...
