Taking the Muscles out of Brussels- The Chelsea Transfer Thread

I'm not, will do him well IMO.

 

Only will be disappointed (a little) if he doesn't stay in England so I can draft him for my fantasy league team.

 

So if Moses and Azicantspellyourname are our final purchases our attack will be:
------------------Torres--------------------
Hazard----------Mata--------------Ram
--------------Lamps------Mikel-------

Keeping Studge and Marin in reserve/Plan B?

 

Oscar?

 

I'm not sure how Ram will work on the right wing, to be honest.

 

A 20 year old untested and untried in this league doesnt start in front of Lamps.

 

but they wont be playing the same position?

 

Agreed but does Moses start in his place or Marin? If we start the season with Torres, Studge and Moses I certainly money will be set aside for a striker come January.

 

As it stands now, I dont start Oscar period. The untest/untried appellations still qualify.

 

------------Torres-----------
Hazard----Mata-----Hulk
-----Lamps----Oscar-------

?

As coy as RDM can be, I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 more signings, ala Cesar Az, Hulk, Moses.

 

if you're good enough to wear the "10" for the selecao, you're good enough to start in the EPL imho

 

Torres

Hazard--Mata---Oscar--Ramires--Lampard--Marin

--

Cole---Terry--Ivan

Cech

 

Ramires won't be playing exact right wing to be precise. His position will be like that of a right sided attacking player, a bit drifting inside & covering the whole area up & down, which uses his skill set to full extent. The CFC FB will be stretching the formation, Ramires will run & run in the corridor b/w opposition fb & cb.

 

Does he wear it for the senior team or the U21 team?

 

Both.

 

Who wore it before him?

 

Well, quite a few people, tbh...

 

My understanding is that Oscar and Lamps will play the same role. So you probably won't see them together, unless you're putting Oscar out on the wing.

You can't take Ram off the field if you're starting your best 11.

 

Lamps has been playing further back recently and Oscar seems to be further forward so I can see them playing together.

Where are you getting your information?

 

Kaka and 'dinho. While it's obviously not certain that Oscar will be the focal point of Brazil's midfield in two years at the world cup, he has certainly played better in that role that Ganso (who's star is clearly on the wane at this point), and he was given that shirt for the friendlies earlier this year. Brazil's clearly not going back to Kaka for the #10 shirt for the next world cup, although, to be fair, Oscar does get slightly by default - there's ironically no great CAM that has followed the Kaka/Ronaldinho/Rivaldo generations - it's slim pickings for a position that has seen so many famous Brazilians. Although, wearing the #10 shirt by default for Brazil is still quite an accomplishment!

From that article, KDB says he's been playing on the right with us....something he's never done before! I thought he was a RW?

 

He plays mostly on the left or in the center, although I am sure that he can get accustomed to playing on the right.

 

Having watched Oscar against the Egyptian Olympic side yesterday... he starts. Every game.
