César Azpilicueta

[Marvin123 483]

Chelsea have also begun talks with Marseille over £16m-rated full back Cesar Azpilicueta, 22.

Villas-Boas has made a new right back one of his top priorities and could complete a deal in the January window.

Same report in the mirror and daily mail!

Despite having an interest in Ligue Un I've seen very little of OM and of this young man.... hopefully Peace. or SeB can enlighten us.

Not that it's any really accurate assessment but he's a beast in most football games and Football Manager at least does have scouts.

I signed him for Chelsea on fifa

On a more serious note i have liked what all be it little i have seen of him and his arrival will reduce the chances of us having to see that Bosingwa at the right back and Ivan in the centre dreaded combination.

I think Ivan should be considered a right back with the ability to play in the centre. He's just so much better on the right.

Agreed.

So many times in recent season's injuries have forced Ivan to play in the centre which means Bosingwa at right back, his arrival should it happen will significantly reduce the odds on that happening again.

Yes he did and yes he was

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Wait, £16million?! What the..

[Kieran. 6,317]

Could possibly be starting for Spain in a few years. Very good player. Maybe not with 16m though.

[ack17 205]

can he play CB?

Id happily see us pay double that if it shoves Bosingwa down the pecking order.

Touché

[Tomo 21,684]

Actually while i think of Bosingwa would it make more sense to offer Marsielle £8-10m plus Bosingwa?

[incometax 116]

Can this guy cross unlike the entire chelsea right side?

[manpe 10,857]

Signed him in FM.. if it's any indication, but he has 20 long throw skill there And he can't be worse than Bosingwa, surely

[Severinb 309]

I asked a friend who is a marseille fan and he said: he can cross has great view for a defender and his positioning is top class!

He doesn't play that much with Marseille. Not because he is poor or average, but because he doesn't fit Deschamps' vision. I.e. he is an attacking-minded right back, and the coach wants a big fat right back who only does clearance. However, that doesn't mean he is poor at defending. And don't be worry, he might be attacking-minded player, but unlike Bosingwa he has the qualities to be attacking-minded lol. And it wouldn't be hard to get him, since I think it woul be good for both parties (the players and the club).
