Rumoured Alex Teixeira

[Pizy 17,860]

Still trying to comprehend how/why this signing would make sense.

We already have Hazard, Oscar, Willian, and Pedro. Two of those when fit (Hazard & Willian) are nailed on to start every match. Oscar is someone Hiddink clearly thinks highly of and seems to be a near lock to start. Pedro has been playing very well lately.

Spending £30m on another AM who may not even be an upgrade on who we have seems stupid. What if our next manager doesn't like this type of player? Why not save the cash and make a run at AM's who we 100% know are upgrades and we have our next permanent manager appointed? 

We won't have CL football next season but if we manage to lure Simeone he's a manager who is probably attractive to top players. We may be able to lure Isco for example.

he might hit lampard/toure numbers from midfield. would be incredibly useful

I think it's clear we need to have two extras AM. We had Salah and Cuadrado. 

Gone, and now we got Pedro and need another one. It's just the right thing to do for a big squad with having ambitions in many cup competitions.

Yeah, there's sense in this move when you think about it.

Young players receiving the time and care to develop here is a pipe dream so seeing the likes of Kenedy and Musonda in action is not happening.

If Texeira joins, you have Hazard, Willian, Pedro, Oscar, Texeira. If he does well, he'll stay. If he doesn't do well, you can sell him after a year or two.

Don't think Hazard or Willian will be going anywhere. If Oscar or Pedro isn't happy because of amount of game time, you sell one.

In a fantasy world where big names will want to join Chelsea in the summer (I mean, come on), you can still purchase an attacking midfielder. Let's say Isco. The same rules will apply, survival of the fittest. The best play the most games. If you can't get in the team first XI and are unhappy, you can leave if good money is offered.

A much better situation than the current 4 players for 3 roles situation, playing players out of position in cases of absentees and forced to play underperforming players.

I personally would've prefered Sané but that's a fantasy purchase. Don't know Texeira well, videos didn't blow me away or anything but he could be really good.

Both of them play deeper in midfield. Teixeira is an attacking midfielder.

was lampard not an attacking midfielder at times?. he said on mnf, that he had to play behind the striker, in ancelotti's diamond

Roman Abramovich ready to treat himself to a Brazilian

Chelsea remain keen on Shakhtar Donetsk forward Alex Teixeira who would command a fee in excess of £30million.

Chelsea are also keeping an eye on Isco's situation at Real Madrid but the 23-year-old is being urged by team-mates to stick it out in Madrid as pressure mounts on Rafa Benitez.

Manchester City are admirers but may not bid the desired £30million in January

Isco please.

I agree. Unless Hazard is leaving there is no reasom to buy him. The club needs to quit fucking around and buy a defender.

"If there is an offer that will satisfy both player and the club I will fully support his move," said Lucescu.

I hope his probable arrival means one of our AMF/WF are being sold in the summer.

That's the obvious one, but are there any suitors around?

All rumours as it stands. Using him as a makeweight for Pogba would be ideal
