Do Chelsea Know What They're Doing with Denmark's Andreas Christensen? | Bleacher Report (via http://ble.ac/teamstream-) http://teamstre.am/1IyqIp5

Good article. Really hope this guy can make it at Chelsea.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Pretty cool with 2 senior caps already, I have to say. And everyone that watched the games say that he was comfortable.

anyone seen how he pperformed against Germany?

Gladbach still want Christensen, says Max Eberl. They have a strong defense. I fear the same situation Kalas had at Köln

[ProXima 11]

Paradoxically, defence is the worst Gladbach's formation (only 27 goals conceded in league last season) because we have only one nominal left-back and two players who can play there (but it's not their basic position) - one of them is a Dominguez (CB), rest players for CB: Stranzl (awesome defender, but old and often injured), Elvedi and Brouwers (I'm sure Andreas isn't worse than them). Also Dane can play as DM and Borussia have only three player for this position.

So I think he won't be a permanent member of first squad but should get plenty of minutes.

Did I miss something about his contract renewal ? He has only one year to run.

Though I guess they indeed signed him and didn't announce it because I simply can't imagine otherwise, it's too much illogical for this to happen.

Good team, I hope he will get plenty of minutes but I thought they won't need him since they recently signed centre-back.

Strange...Chelsea saying that the loan is for the 15/16 season only, but Borrusia claiming that its a two year loan deal?

Even better. Two seasons at Borussia and he can come back.

[Thendo 1,088]

Yeah, I think it's a good strategy to integrate him into their team, getting minutes during the first season and hopefully if all goes well he can be a starter for them the 2nd season.

Still odd that Chelsea didn't announce that it was a two season loan...

Maybe it's like an option clause rather than a straight 2 year deal.

I honestly wish himthe best success, I'll try and watch his games.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Lets hope its not another Salah fiasco. Obviously more to the contract than a straight 2 years.

Lets hope BM is the right place for him and us.

Yep, probably.

Good move. Now get similar moves for Boga, Musonda etc.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Fantastic move. Gladbach's coach Favre is an excellent manager as well so very excited to see how well he does.
