Mark my word. Pedro is another Bojan Krkic. Dude has no skill above average and will suck at Chelsea.

He doesn't have to do much to improve our right wing situation.

Sun Sports: Chelsea are to send Cuadrado + Oscar +95 mil. to Juventus for Pogba. Congrats, you've been fleeced majorly! ))

those two plus 95m? I don't believe it until it happens but I would actually do that.

Post #1169 » by **fatlever** » Sat Aug 22, 2015 3:19 pm

Oscar + Cuadrado + 95 mil (pounds?, USD?, euros?) is just silly talk. Oscar + Cuadrado are worth probably 70 mil pounds combined (Oscar 50, Cuadrado 20)

Chelsea still trying, still extremely doubtful anything happens so late in the window.

Hats off to Pedro, who has about as nice of a debut possible - 1 goal, 1 assist (should have been another but Willian **** his pants in front of goal), great work rate, ability to hold ball and take on defenders. I cant wait to see a midfield of Hazard, Oscar, Pedro, Cesc and Matic at the same time, with Willian as the super sub to run circles around everyone when they are tired.

Where would Pogba play? Box to box or CAM?

Post #1176 » by **5DOM** » Sun Aug 23, 2015 10:58 pm

middle of the pitch for Juventus.

Yeah but they play a different formation. Would he play on Cesc's spot or Oscar's?

Post #1178 » by **fatlever** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 1:00 am

possibly a switch to more of a 4-3-3, something like:

---------------------Matic (Mikel)
---Pogba (Ramires)---------Oscar (Cesc)

Pedro(Willian)-------------Hazard (Moses)
---------------Costa (Falcao/Remy)

and Cuadrado off to Juventis on loan w/ or w/out a Pogba deal

So now what? What that rock bottom or does it get worse after the break? Is Jose ready to make some real changes to the lineup - benching Ivanovic and Cesc, among others?

Players have been awful, Jose has been awful and the transfer policy this summer has been awful. It was clear at the end of last year that some changes needed to be made, yet we waited until a week before the window ends to wake up and start trying. It was too late. Nobody is selling an impact player this late in the window.

Finishing top 4 might be a struggle this year.
