So with the Qaud (that can be his nickname from now on) close to signing, who would everyone's starting 3 be?
Hazard Oscar Willian
I think it doesn't change, as Willian does his job incredibly and will not be dropped. The one to miss out would he Oscar imo
I don't think we will have a first three, so to speak. It'll depend on tactics and how Mourinho wants to approach the game.
I'm not a fan of strikerless formations however there could be an argument where Oscar, Hazard, Willian and Cuadrado could all be utilised in the absence of a recognised front man. Oscar's high press has been vital to our game and he is often ahead of the striker when doing so.
In terms of setting up for counter-attacking football, I could see Willian be used ahead of Oscar through the middle.
What we might see is more rotation between Willian/Oscar/Fabregas dependant on the formation used.
Id drop Willian for Cuadrado then we playing with 2 proper wingers that will run at people and Oscar will have more room in the middle Costa going to score so many goals :)

Willian would be the one I'd leave out, if Cuadrado is better than him.

Cuadrado is Willian in defense but 10x better in attack he should definately start
Hazard isn't true winger he is much more attacking midfielder like Oscar or Willian.

Depends on who were playing as others have said. At least it gives jose the chance to rotate with trust.
