YOUNG CHELSEA MIDFIELDERS PERFORMANCE LAST SEASON.

                            

  1.OSCAR DOS SANTOS

The Brazilian looks like a real talent. He already has all the qualities of a prefect #10. The closer Oscar gets to the level of Juan Mata’s performances, the more beneficial it will be to Chelsea this season. Many have labelled Oscar as the new Kaka, a clever, skillful and confident player, who loves bringing his teammates into the game. He has shown great ability in scoring and assisting his team mates and many have already started labeling him as Frank Lampard’s successor in the Chelsea squad. Oscar has been scoring for fun for both Chelsea and Brazil and at the young age of 21, is already Brazil’s number 10 and looks to be one hell of a talent that would surely tear apart defenses across the Premier League and Europe. 

2.EDEN HAZARD

 The Magical player who has the ability to torment defenses with his pace and skill. He proved his worth to be a top class player that we needed. He has somehow or the other been involved in almost every goal we have scored in the Premier League.He wins penalties, has blistering pace, knows how to go past defenders, knows where the net is. What more could you possible want in an attacking player? 

Eden Hazard is one of the hottest talents in the world at the moment and there is no point in talking about his skills because if we do, I could never end and we all already know that he is one of the most attack minded and creative player in our squad so its pretty obvious that he will be a crucial part of the Blues 2012-13 campaign.

3.JUAN MATA

Chelsea’s most important and consistent player in my opinion. The player who has been rewarded Chelsea’s best player of the historical last season’s team has already been in blistering and consistent for form for the Blues this season as well. After being rested by Di Matteo, Mata regained his top form and has registered six assists and has scored four goals. He now lead the Blues in assists and is the team’s second-leading goal scorer in all competitions behind fellow countryman Torres this season.

Moreover,the amazing combination between Mata,Oscar and Hazard that Di Matteo has created and  the manner in which they were connected, organized and especially Hazard and Mata was spectacular.They are running riot throughout the midfield and have both shown that they are more than capable of destroying defenses at will. 

Exciting times lie ahead for Chelsea for sure!

CELTA VIGO STRIKER IAGO ASPAS SET FOR A MOVE TO LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL AGREE DEAL FOR CELTA VIGO STRIKER IAGO ASPAS.

Liverpool have agreed a deal in principle to sign Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas for a fee believed to be around £7.7 million.The move has been in the pipeline for some time and will be confirmed when the necessary paperwork is completed.Aspas scored 12 goals in 34 games this season for the La Liga strugglers, whose place in the Spanish top flight was only confirmed on the final day of the campaign.
The 25-year-old was directly involved in 51 per cent of his team's goals this season having broken into the senior side in 2009 after coming through their youth set-up.Aspas can play through the middle or on the wing and would become Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers' second signing of the summer transfer window if the deal goes through. Centre-back Kolo Toure also agreed a move to Anfield from Manchester City in late May and it will be completed at the beginning of July.
Rodgers' summer strengthening is beginning to gather pace as Liverpool are also hopeful a deal can be done for Sevilla youngster Luis Alberto.The 20-year-old has been on loan at Barcelona B but yesterday was the deadline for the Catalan club to offer the midfielder a permanent contract.Having tracked the youngster's progress and made it clear to his parent club they are interested in a deal Liverpool are optimistic they can add the promising talent to their ranks. Rodgers is keen to get as much of his business done as quickly as possible and they have reportedly made a move to bring in Sporting Lisbon's 20-year-old defender Tiago Ilori while attempts are being made to secure the services of Schalke centre-back Kyriakos Papadopoulos.
Liverpool have also been linked with Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.The club hope to offset some of their outlay by selling striker Andy Carroll to West Ham but although a £15million-plus deal has been in place for some time, the player is stalling on agreeing to the move.

JUAN MATA DENIES CHELSEA EXIT TALK.

MATA EXPECTS TO STAY AT CHELSEA AND SAYS WILL TALK TO MOURINHO ABOUT THE FUTURE SOON.

Chelsea playmaker Juan Mata has denied suggestions he is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.Mata was named the club's player of the year last season but some media reports had suggested returning Chelsea boss Jos Mourinho might have no place for him in his squad and with barcelona showing interest in him,he may move to Nou camp.Spain international Mata, who is in Brazil with his country as they prepare for the Confederations Cup, insisted he was unaware his future at the club might be in doubt and insisted he will speak with Mourinho directly rather than rushing to conclusions.
"Nobody at Chelsea has told me that Mourinho wants me out," he said."When I finished the season I was told that they were very happy with my performances and with the two years I've spent with the club,he adds.

Although the words 'surplus to requirement' shouldnt be included in the same sentence as juan mata. He had a phenomenal season last year, and is a brilliant player. He is only 25 years old, in his early prime, and is going to be playing the best football of his life for at least 5 years, the greatest can continue past that age, but one thing not on his side will be pace, but he still has a good 6-8 years left in him. He was a very exciting young talent and was even linked with liverpool in the Benitez era but they couldn't sign him eventually.
