Again surely that depends how Chelsea intend on playing? Maybe Chelsea are not looking to play a deep lying play maker. People seem to forget that Mikel's passing range is pretty decent so maybe he will be trusted to do both jobs and Oscar just coming forward from deep and then joining in with the attacks? Like i say, until we see at least 6months of this new Chelsea we are just all speculating.

PSG XI vs Chelsea: Douchez; Sakho Alex Jallet Armand; Bodmer Chantome Pastore; Lavezzi Nene Gameiro.

Chelsea XI VS PSG: Cech, Ferreira, David Luiz, Cahill, Ivanovic; Lampard, Obi Mikel; Marin, Hazard, Ramires; Lukaku

No matter what style you play, you always want that kind of player. The Euros was evident of that. Virtually every major side had at least one player like that.

It's not too hard to see how Chelsea will play, looking at the players they have.

Maybe not but some of the best sides are sides who tweak certain things from other things that have already worked. You know as well as i do that Mikel is underrated and his passing range is very good. So maybe his job will be to break up play and also do the deep lying play making role too. Will have to wait and see.

Mikel is better than given credit, but doesnt even get close to being that kind of level. You still need that supreme (relative to that level) passer, and that isnt Mikel by a long shot.

Like i say we will see. Oscar has all the tools to be that type of player and has time on his side which is perfect because Lampard is not ready to give up just yet.

Im not here to troll before you say it,

But Hazard really does do alot of talking, if he dont back it up this season he will make himself look very very silly.

Good player, yes. But seems way to arrogant and cocky

What's he said recently?
 
Said he'll be like Messi for Chelsea, or something along those lines.

Eden Hazard said:
'Messi is the world’s best player and it's a bit of an exaggeration to say I can be that good.

'But I am happy if people see similarities between us and being compared to Messi makes me think about what I can achieve with Chelsea rather than the obstacles I need to overcome to get there.

'Ultimately it's the coach who will decide if I play in a similar role to the one Messi plays for Barca but I am looking to succeed the Eden Hazard way.'


Well, that was predictable. He didn't say anything of the sort, contrary to newspaper reports.

The headline. I will be the Prem's Messi

The actual quotes.

“Messi is the world’s best player and it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say I can be that good.“But I am happy if people see similarities between us and being compared to Messi makes me think about what I can achieve with Chelsea rather than the obstacles I need to overcome to get there.“Ultimately it’s the coach who will decide if I play in a similar role to the one Messi plays for Barca but I am looking to succeed the Eden Hazard way.”

EDIT. Pointed out above me... -_-
