Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

I like the look of this guy i really do.. As Spike said, he seems to have that typical German efficiency. Every team needs at least one German in their team!

We've got big Marko Then again, technically he isn't German So maybe one pure German

Schweinsteiger it is then

In all seriousness if this boy is going to cost £15-20m, are we not better off 'upping' our offer for Moses to something likely to be accepted, say £6-8m?

[Spike 12,049]

I'd add selfish to the weaknesses.

He suffers from the same ailment as Danny Boy, that is a CF being played on the wings. He is much less frustrating though.

Chelsea officials have immediately asked Schurrle's agent about a possible move to Chelsea after his exit from Euro 2012. Bayer Leverkusen already know about the interest. No negotiations have started yet. Just a interest until now. -W.

We need to stop trying to buy wingers and focus on getting a striker, whether it be Hulk or anyone else! We've got Marin, Mata and Kdb on board, what more do we want??

Hulk is a winger mate. Well an inverted winger/inside forward whatever you want to call it. Schurrle is a proper striker who is being used on the wing as he is meant to be excellent at dribbling and really fast...

i thought marcus reus looked good too.

anyway shouldn't our top priority is to find a RB cover?

tomorrow's Express (Cologne tab): Leverkusen have turned down €25m offer from Chelsea for Schürrle. #CFC (via @SkySportNewsHD)

CEO Holzhäuser: "They first bid led to concrete negotiations. In the end we've decided to keep André at the club."

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Move on. 25m euros should be enough to get him, if they have rejected it then; 1) They're mental 2) We are mental cause he isnt worth it, I dont see us going any higher either tbh

He's a winger mainly though, rarely plays striker. Must be true then, we are after another winger. Cue Moses, Walcott rumours

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Wow that came out of the blue!

But good thing that Chelsea are looking at options.

Good attacking/winger youngster.

Not bad.

But agreed as most say, if they turn down 25 mill time to look elsewhere.

[Severinb 309]

I think 25 mil is already too much and i am happy that they are not willing to sell! I would prefer hulk or/and moses!

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Even €25 million is a bit too much for him. Move on. I hope this does not mean we've given up on Hulk.

You thought we were in for Hulk to play him Striker? The rumours that we were after another winger started with him!

[Jype 6,398]

I rate him but €25m is way too much.

[Waterfall 893]

Rather him at 25M than Hulk at 50M
