Mourinho wants his wingers to be more like Willian (workhorses) and has already given up on Martial, I would happily swap Willian with Martial! hope we can make that happen in January!

I sure as hell wouldn't, Willian was our best player last season and has has another good start to the season..Martial on the other hand has fallen below two teenagers in the United pecking order.

De Bruyne couldnt get in the Chelsea team under Mourinho, look at him now! Martial isnt a workhorse like Mourinho wants him to be! we need more of a goal threat from our wide players. Martial over Willian anyday!

I wouldn't sell Willian either (he's far too useful for Conte) but I'm not sure who the 'two teenagers' are - Martial (20) is quite a bit younger than either Lingard (23) or Mkhitaryan (26).

Given Jose's usual allergy to playing youth, it's unlikely Martial will feature much, and given his off-field distractions that's even less likely.

Woops didn't realise Lingard was that old, the other I was referring to is Rashford.

You are right in that Chelsea need more threat. This current Chelsea team relies on Hazard the magician to create everything. Willian literally doesn't do enough in the final third. He doesn't get wide and put in crosses or can create chances with short play and passes like Hazard.

With Oscar aswell and you have two workhorses but not a lot going forward. I read on the Daily Mail in 13mins at Swansea Fabregas created 3 chances and started the move for the 2nd goal. Watford he created the winner and 2 other chances. Fabregas has to be in the first team, he is too good not to be.

Martial over Willian I am not sure because they play different positions and are different type of players. I would defiantly put Martial on the left and Hazard in the middle though. Basically defenders would rather play against Willian than Martial because Willian is too predictable.

He just isn't direct enough when you need him to be. There were doelld last season where he looked like he had started address that. 

Need Conte to get him to of fix that, to mix it up, go wide more, shoot more, get in the box more.

Willian's stop and go mentality infuriates me. It is like he wants the other team to get into position so that it is more of a challenge. The rare times he runs at defenders, he is excellent.

Considering we we loaning out 30+ players a season, it's amazing we sold KDB without a second thought. Surely, he could do with a loan move if he was deemed lazy or incompetent ( which proved to be wrong )

Back to Willian, he's just too happy to let Hazard doing all the work. I saw a number of occasions where Hazard sucked in a few defenders then send the ball to Willian on the other side, Willian just happy to wait and see instead of taking on the last defender when he had time and room.

Don't get me started on Oscar, always a 6-7/10 player on his good day.
