Who was the lad Hazard was laughing with as he came in for training. Charly Musonda? Cant recognize him at all
Kakuta. #31? Yea, should be him.
Maybe its just me but I am just as excited to see Marin in Blue. Had his best season at Bremen when he was played on the left alongside a conventional No. 10 (Ozil), his problems started when he was shifted to CAM where he was was pretty bad
But at Chelsea he will get a chance to play alongside a proper No. 10 in Mata/Hazard. Hopefully he works hard because he can be a star
Moses and Maicon would be fantastic additions. Maicon with his experience, attacking verve and the fact that he is still a solid player who can give world-class performances if his minutes are managed properly. Moses who can be a star and that price, low risk-high upside move....
Modric please!
Also apparently Marin had spent his summer at Cobham getting to know the club instead of going on holiday during that time. Also mentioned that he preferred to play on the wings and hopes he can give a lot of assists to the strikers in his words
Also Claudio Pizzaro played a part in Marin's decision to move to Chelsea. Encouraged him to join the Blues
Genuinely excited to see Marin, offers us something different from our other attacking players and adds a new dimension to the attack
Was just about to post this lol, just shows how great of a club it is to be at if someone like Pizzaro enjoyed his time and he barely played (scored 2 goals both against Birmingham in separate games). I am as excited to see Marin next season as i am Hazard and that is the truth.
Here is the link to the interview.

So if Modric to Madrid is apparently a done deal... Anyone think we should turn our sights to Nuri Sahin then? He cant be too happy that he has fallen even lower in the pecking order and that is behind 2 world-class players like Alonso and Modric who he would find nearly impossible to dislodge
Not to mention Sami Khedira and Lassana Diarra, I think Diarra just likes staying at Madrid for money, not interested in playing football obviously.
meh.. Deal not confirmed yet so nothing else to say really. Honestly would be gutted if this was true. Wanted Modric more than anyone else
I'm really excited about Marin, probably more so than Hazard because I've not seen Marin play for years. Also looks as if his attitude has changed if whats said is true about Cobham.
Moses should have done another season at Wigan, but I'm sure we can replace him. Personally, I think he's just thrown his career away because he's never going to start for Chelsea.
Relating back to Chelsea, Victor Moses and Maicon would be two very good signings, I think Maicon is vulnerable to pace against him though, so for a defensive option for a Right Back you would use Ivanovic, but against inferior opposition Maicon would be very useful, definitely better defensively and probably attacking wise as well than Bosingwa.
I think if these two signings go through you should challenge for everything next year, although you still have not addressed one key area as of yet, probably the most important, a CM Playmaker (someone like Modric/Moutinho etc.) to link the play up.
