Baba Rahman

[Azul 1,615]

City has joined the race for baba.

If we are seriously interested then he'll easily choose us over City.

20mil pounds for a 2nd choice 20 year old LB. no thank you. ake would be a better option for the scenario. would rather use the money for a world class winger/CM.

I'm not sure. We have Ivanovic and Azpilicueta, he would likely to end up on the bench. City have Kolarov and Clichy, two huge moron, he can become a starter easily.

Mou talks to him on the phone and that will be enough lol

I am certain that his name has somehow somewhere been flipped. It just has to actually be Abdul Rahman Baba or Baba Abdul Rahman.

[Rekin 835]

I have honestly seen him play like one time, so I am not a great judge of how good he is. It seems however that he is almost universally considered to have had an amazing season, with great potential. I would really like Dasilva to succeed here, but if the Baba is as great as he is said to be (quick, good tackles and crosses while being two footed) then some competition will not be bad. I love Cesar but I would like a more classical wing back that adds more to the attack, perhaps he could go back to the right side in the future?

Or he asks his son Essien to do that

Never heard of him. I can't be the only one who's frustrated about the tendency of YouTube compilation to only focus on the offensive aspect of a defender. I'm trying to get a picture of his defensive skills and it's nothing but his assists and goals

Did you even bother to watch the video I posted???

They make it so easy for you, all you gotta do is hit the tab that says "DEFENSES" and you will see his defensive skill.

Jose Mourinho wants £15 million-rated Ghana left-back Abdul Baba Rahman

I think if Felipe Luis leaves he would be a good replacement. in certain games can move Dave to RB and play with two true fullbacks. Bran should always be in our matchday squad because he can play anywhere in defense. in certain games we could also play with a 3 man defense of Zouma,Terry/Cahill and Bran.and use Dave and Rahman as wingbacks. I think Dave at RB/RWB would be able to be more effective coming forward,where he wouldn`t have to cut back to whip in a cross.

also Rahman turns 21 next month..by the time he`s 23 or 24 when he should be ready to become a first team regular starter,Bran will be winding down and be ready to be replaced as a regular starter.(by Dave)

"Chelsea are taking concrete steps to sign Baba", according to Di Marzio.

Juventus and Roma are after him as well but we're more serious right now.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

More updates from Di Marzio:

The player's agent, Sascha Empasher, travelled to London to meet with Chelsea who offered €15 million, but it will likely take €20 million to acquire him.

Chelsea faces competition from Juve for Baba, but they are trying to close the deal before the bianconeri.

[Magic Lamps 11,446]

Would be a strange move. But we have been messing with that leftback position for years. Playing Azpi, a rightback over Bertrand the best (natural) left back in the league after he left us and Filipe Luis the arguably best left-back in the world before he joined us and then signing a 20 y.o. nobody from fucking bundesliga who will never be anything close to one of the three mentioned for more than 20m € is just plain bonkers.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Hes got good comments from his German fans on Youtube.

[Pizy 17,860]

Unless Filipe Luis is just dying to return to Atelti or he can be used as a makeweight for one of their players, why not just keep him?

Seems pointless to just trade one expensive, bench warming fullback for another.

Chelsea is interested in a new left wing back. As we reported earlier today, Mourinho's club is after Baba, who is coming off a strong season at Augsburg and anche performed well in the Africa Cup. The player's agent, Sascha Empasher, traveled to London to meet with Chelsea who offered €15 million, but Likely it will take €20 million to acquire him.
