Premier League Champions 2017-18

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I would be upset if we lost/wasted Oscar. It would come back to haunt us too like KDB as he will undoubtedly be a world beater somewhere. I don't care if we sell Fabregas or Costa or even hazard but I would be very upset if we sold Oscar.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

He runs and works very hard. I could see Conte liking him a lot more than Cesc.

This. And he scored that goal against him. Stunnah!

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Fuck. Lukaku in and Oscar out looks very likely. I'm not happy with any of this.

 

[Arnau]

Oscar must leave, he didnt develop a shit for years... He probably even got worse.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

The rumour is to inter for £30m, where did inter get £30m?

Too cheap. Bet man city or juve or whatever will rebuy him for £65m in two years time

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Oscar must leave, he didnt develop a shit for years... He probably even got worse.

That's a good point and I've said it too. He might need to leave just to get his career back on track.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

We are not a club for creative talent to develop at. If you're a big as hard tackling black dude, you're fine.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Oscar doesn't seem like a creative kind of player though. Just a player who works hard for his team and defends. He could make a good winger. How has he done when played there?

He could also play well as a central midfielder but he probably doesn't fit the profile for a central midfielder.

 

[Pogba4Now]

You would have been better off with Mata. He has been inconsistent for Man U but he has done better than Oscar and I am sure he would do better at Chelsea than Man U.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I preferred Oscar in attacking role and trace the beginning of his stagnation to when he was pushed back to centre mid. When he came in he was part of the supporting forward trio

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I didn't realize that baba has been sent on loan to schalke, which leaves us very short of full backs

 

[Arnau]

Cuadrado, Kenedy, Azpilicueta and Ivanovic

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Cuadrado, Kenedy, Azpilicueta and Ivanovic

One natural fullback in the squad. Great.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Apparently Salah was still ours. He isn't anymore.

I saw that too. Apparantly we sold him to Roma just now for £12m. Pathetic in the current market.

 

[poet11]

One natural fullback in the squad. Great.

This. Isn't Kenedy a winger? And no natural LB. You should do fine if Azpi moves to RB on that side. By the way, there were links to Ricardo Rodriguez of you when we were linked with him heavily. He had a cheap ass clause but that may have ended in July.

Azpi-RR would be pretty great with the other options.

 

[Arnau]

There is no such thing as natural fullback. Its either a winger or a CB not good enough in his position.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I'm old fashioned and still think the people who play on the left and right of the back line need to know a little bit about defending and positioning

 

[Arnau]

What if Conte plays with 3cbs and wingbacks? Then Kenedy and Cuadrado makes a lot of sense

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Yes but I am not comfortable with us not having a backup in case that doesn't work...

Edit: and if we do do that we need more CB options and not just koulibaly
