Łukasz Piszczek

[Joker10 946]

For a back up to Ivan, this guy and Debuchy cannot be it.

It has to be someone young like Azpi, or someone mediocre like Van Der Wiel.

Top players don't want to be back ups.

He won't be coming here thinking he is a backup, he is thinking he would challenge in making the position his own. If you look at our past signings, you would see we don't sign backup players. We sign players that would challenge for the first team.

Mineiro says hi.

Steve Sidwell says hi too.

[Joker10 946]

Marin?

Marin has the potential to challenge for a starting spot. He once showed enormous potential, this is more like a low risk high reward signing, hoping a change in scenery would help him reach some of the potential he once showed.

Mineiro says hi.

Steve Sidwell says hi too.

Mineiro seriously? 1-2 appearances he made at Chelsea on a free transfer

Sidwell? One of our worst signings in the Roman era, didn't take us long enough to ship him out.

I should have mentioned we sign players to challenge for a starting squad or potential to do so in the future. Like everything else there are exceptions to the rule. Didn't think people would mention Mineiro, who i completely forgot about.

A good example would have been Benayoun.

Reports in Germany say Lukaku on loan and £8m could be enough for #CFC to land Piszczek

Lukaku on loan where?

Dortmund?

[bushman 2,043]

Chelsea do not need RB. Ivanovic is very capable & there are some young kids to play as backups for the last 20 minutes or so.

Chelsea needs more attackers to pop in more goals.

Their defense is one of the best there is if not the best.

[rami 6]

For my money he's the best right back in the world , if we get him he will probably be first choice.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Lukaku on loan where?

Dortmund?

Yes to Dortmund

I've lost count how many times this is said but brana won't play 60 games a season! Bosingwa managed i think about 35-40 appearances last season - do you honestly expect an 18 year old to play that amount of games?!

Neither do young players....

Azpi wont move to us to be a backup when he could play for Marseille still who are usually in the CL as first choice.

He's 21 and looking to break in to the Spanish national team against the likes of Arbaloa and Ramos(who will play CB for Spain when Puyol retires likely) so why would he sit on the bench and play half the games he would usually play in France?

Anyway Piszczek is meant to be class, not seem him much but I was impressed enough with how he played in the 3 games. Looked great going forward and is actually for once, one of the only right fullbacks who is equally as good at defending as well as going forward!

There are reports hes Real Madrid bound so if we are to try and get him we must try and hijack this deal....

[1chelsea 864]

is best we can find in the market cos we got title to defend

[Superblue 6,331]

Didn't realise he was 27.

I would prefer debuchy.

[Severinb 309]

Didn't realise he was 27.

I would prefer debuchy.

Debuchy isch 26 not a big difference!

[Jase 43,479]

Debuchy isch 26 not a big difference!

Both are 27 this year. No difference at all.

[Superblue 6,331]

Sorry that wasn't worded well. I mite have considered piszczek if he was younger but as he's a similar age to debuchy i would prefer the frenchman because i've been more impressed with him when watching.

[silviupastean 135]

hope we get him or debuchy, no VDW please!
