With the capture in summer 2012 of Eden Hazard and Oscar, Chelseas attacking talents seemed to be the strongest in the Premier League, barring only perhaps the two Manchester clubs. Even so, the exciting nature of Chelseas Three Amigos, with their clever interplay, creativity and mercurial inventivene s, seemed somewhat more tantalising than Uniteds use of Michael Carricks short pa sing forward as well as back and James Milners steady, workmanlike efforts on either wing or in the centre for City. With a final finish of 3rd and the capture of the UEFA Europa League, the future seemed bright for Chelsea. The relative young ages of their most potent attacking threats was another reason for Chelsea fans to look forward to the next season with excitement 25-year-old Juan Mata, 22-year-old Eden Hazard and Oscar, aged 22, had years in which to mature and develop. Even Fernando Torres, with his 22 goals showing tantalising signs of a return to his old self, is still the right side of 30.And then came the return of Jose Mourinho, Carlos Zambrano Jersey the self-styled Happy One, and the capture of forward Andre Schurrle from Bayer Leverkusen for 18 million, the 22-year-old seemingly another investment made by the club in preparation for another season of challenging for silverware. Schurrle is a more dynamic player than either Mata or Oscar, and po sibly edging out Hazard as well, with a direct running style almost reminiscent of Thierry Henry in his pomp. Gliding along the touchline, with the ball glued to his feet, before cutting in, shifting up a gear and unleashing a shot at goal, the German is a player who offers another dimension to Chelseas play. Intricate pa sing movements and close control are all well and good, but sometimes a more direct route is required.Whilst Im not advocating the use of Route One football, Schurrle offers Chelsea genuine width, an invaluable contribution to any team. Whilst Manchester Citys capture of Jesus Navas in the summer was heralded as a tactical masterstroke, one that could give City a more unpredictable tactical flexibility and an attacking outlet, with the likes of David Silva and Yaya Toure sometimes stifled as the City team tried in vain at times to play the ball through the middle, the same could well apply to Chelsea and the new boy Schurrle. With all three of their attacking midfielders enjoying the role of trequarista, the cla sic attacking number 10 role beloved of players like Ronaldinho, Juan Roman Riquelme and perhaps even Paul Scholes, the ball was sometimes funnelled through the middle for Chelsea last season. But with Schurrle, Chelseas team has another option. Rather than rely on the close control and twinkling feet of Oscar, Mourinhos anointed Playermaker-Of-Choice, the Chelsea team has width now. Look at their first goal against ironically Manchester City, with Torres taking on the City defence out wide before putting a devilish cro s into the box for Schurrle to put away. Eden Hazard has the potential to be a lethal winger, Schurrle a proven performer this Chelsea team has enough tactical po sibilities to make an FM player like me fall to their knees and weep.And lets not even get started on Marco van Ginkel. With the 35-year-old Lampard reduced to a bit-part role at the club, Vite ses 20-year-old midfielder was bought for around 8million, a fee that could well be a steal. When van Ginkel signed with Chelsea, he talked to the clubs official website, describing himself as a box-to-box player who covers a lot of metres and can score a goal. And whilst thats not to say he can catch Lampard whos Chelseas leading goalscorer, dont forget that sounds like the perfect replacement for the England man, and yet another actor who could have a big part to play in the epic tragi-comedy being acted out at Stamford Bridge every other weekend.
