Am I the only one that fears Chelsea will have a relatively bad season, I think this season will be a rebuilding season, but what I fear is that Abramovich might sack Mourinho because of a bad season

Based on what evidence? Yes you're the only one on the planet who thinks Jose gets fired this season.

Try reading everything next time, I don't think he will get fired, I say I'm afraid he will, if Abramovich don't understand it takes a season to rebuild a team.

I don't see Mourinho having a bad season, we'll be top 2 in my opinion. If I'm wrong however, I am getting the impression that Roman has seen the revolving door policy of managers isn't the road to continued success and will give Mourinho time to build his team.

Haven't we been rebuilding for the last two years anyway? I'm sure bringing in 3-4 players really won't upset much. Maybe keep your fears to yourself in the future

It's weird, but I have absolutely no fears of a bad season. Maybe that's us setting ourselves up for disappointment, but everything just feels wildly positive right now.

Now that mourinho held talks with van ginkel, expect him to sign by Friday or early next week, it now remains only a striler and guaranteed clean sweep of everything in our path, by the look of things right now our second eleven are Good enough to beat utd, though ruddy is still not finalised.

A new centre back would be nice.

Rather van ginkel. Get him signed up. Our midfield looks quite rubbish ATM. Lampard and Essien past sell by date, Mikel just useless.

Let me go straight to my point, Oscar should be played ahead of mata as he will bring more out of a striker and the front three, not a bad idea if mata put to the wings, but I tell you we will be more forceful if Oscar is in that position that mata even de bryune will be better option, i'm not saying that mata is not good at that position because he did a good job there last season, but for the future these two are faster and stronger, though equally technical in terms of taking on defenders and passing, let me share my thoughts with with the current attacking mid we have in hazard oscar mata de bruyne schrulle piazon (why piazon cause I believe with the exception of hazard he is as Good as as all the attacking mid we got just younger but he has got all heart, tech. Skill) any striker can flourish now that mourinho is in charge. Although I will love it we can get cavani, but I want assure you that with the available squad only man city can challenge us for the title.

I agree on the fact we should play mata on the wing and oscar in the centre. I don't think piazon is ready yet, but he will be great in the future no doubt.

Mata. 96 chances created for his team mates last season, 2nd highest in the world behind Pirlo 112. I think that answer's that!
Oscar would be better as a deep lying play maker in one of the two sat in front of defence, he's played there for Brazel and done really well. That position is not so much about tackling and more about pressing the other team into giving the ball away and then being able to pick the correct passes. Something which Oscar is good at, he's a very intelligent football!

I think mata behind the striker works really well as he does not have the explosive pace which hazard or now schurrle have. Not many teams in the league can score goals throughout the team. We need a class striker at the top of his game (cavani or lewandowski). luiz for me should play in midfield next to oscar.

No no no. Mata isn't half the player on the wing. Sorry but its true. Oscar is better deeper! By far.
