Mata, Hazard of Oscar? I'd go for Hazard - just watching him last night was jaw dropping. Mazy runs with the ball stuck to his feet like glue, stunning flicks, great vision and blistering pace.
Mata is the more effective player at the moment (maybe due to playing at '10'), his first touch and finishing is superb, has an eye for a pass and always seems to find himself some space. What England could do with a player like that. Hazard is more inconsistent but is a joy to watch on form, especially his pace and ability to change direction so quickly. Another couple of years and Hazard and Oscar will be right up there with Mata IMO.
All very skilful - though I think Oscar is the most naturally gifted of the three. Hazard is amazing at using his pace and skill to get past players, and with Mata it's about the pass and touch. All very exciting players - none of them are the same imo.
I'd have to go for Hazard or Mata, I don't think Oscar is quite there yet for me as I still see a lot of little mistakes from him. Last night Hazard was amazing, not only the skills but the strength to hold players off at the same time. ' Mata also brilliant skill wise but not as 'bulky' as Hazard.
In a season or two's time, that trio will be unstoppable. Love to see this side out regularly by then; Cech/Courtois Azpi (CB, hopefully a world class one) Ake (LB, Luke Shaw my favourite) Ramires/Mikel Chalobah/McEachran Oscar Mata Hazard Lukaku
Don't really rate Bertrand if I'm honest, especially to replace someone like Cole. Shaw looks like he's going to be a world beater! Can't see Bertrand getting much better than he already is but hope I'm wrong as it'd be good to breed our own left back. Forgot about Piazon and De Bruyne!
No Luiz then Drogs ? I thought he did really well when he's not shoved in defence, he was never meant to be a defender.
My team in two years would be something along the lines of Courtois Azpilicueta (bargain buy) Hummels (this guy is unbelievable) Ake Shaw (this will be done in the summer, but by 2016 expect him to be slowly turned into a winger) Luiz (c) De Bruyne (I think in the pivot couled be brilliant for KDB especially with his passing skills and directness) Oscar/Mata/Hazard Mata/Hazard/Oscar Hazard/Oscar/Mata (a 3 way combo where they keep switching I would love to see) Lukaku With Ramires, Feruz, Chalobah and Moses still around
Future line up possibilities - Courtois Shaw - really want us to sign this guy. Luiz (c) Omeruo Azpillicueta / Kalas Chalobah / Ramires Ake / Mikel Hazard / Piazon Mata Oscar / De Bruyne Lukaku / Feruz
to the OP, skill matters when you have the end product. At this point - Mata's got the most end product, Oscar least and Hazard in between!
