Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

This guy is very selfish, redundant signing, Sturridge can do everything he can and more. People shouldn't criticise Danny for his selfish tendancies, he's a striker and wanted to show the boss that he deserves his place their. Plus their is the added bonus of him being English thus aiding or meeting those quota systems. Studge had a bad second half of the season but as a whole him and Mata carried us for the first half of the season, I saw him take England to the U21 final, he was the leading scorer and voted player of the season (the only other person to achieve this was Tevez) as City won the Nike Cup in his youth career and proved himself as a natural goalscorer at Bolton scoring some wonderful goals.

If you ask any of your friends whether they would take Sturridge, most of them would say yes. At 22 he's got too much talent to replace. Ancelotti called him the quickest player he ever worked with and this guy managed Sheva in his prime! He more than merits his place in our team and we'd be stupid to sell him.

I really hope we don't loose Danny cause of this guy.

Torres with Sturridge 2nd choice is LETHAL imo.

[Rahul Haque 57]

why are we after needless amount of players? i dont want to lose sturridge at all. he has far more potential then schurrle imo.

Bayer Leverkusen director Wolfgang Holzhauser has not ruled out Andre Schurrle's exit from the club.

The German outfit revealed at the weekend that they had turned down a bid in excess of £16million from Chelsea for the 21-year-old German international.

While Holzhauser says he laid the topic to rest at the weekend, he admits that might not yet be the end of the matter.

He told Rheinische Post newspaper: "I am not keen on ruling anything out at any point in time, but personally I have laid this topic to full rest last weekend.

"Of course, we have seriously considered the offer. We did. Still we came to the conclusion we would be unable to sign an adequate and affordable replacement for Andre Schurrle."

Looks like they are enticing us to make a higher bid :/

Edit: Dammit was beaten by a minute O.o

Translation: "We want more money".

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Out of all our targets this summer (Hulk, Jovetić, Moses, Schurrle, Oscar) Schurrle is the one I least want here. And I sincerely hope we won't sign him.

[Marvin123 527]

Same here, I'd rather Moses over him

[jmarlow 458]

I hope we do sign Schurrle im a fan of his for sure! Sturridge may be better right now but i feel Schurrle has far better potential than Sturridge.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

jovetic anyone? id rather him before hulk,moses,or this schrulle who i want no where near CFC!

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Interesting.

Either they want more money from us, or the player has come to his senses and wants to play for a top club.

So lets see what happens. I am never against buying top young prospect. They are little risk since we can always sell them for not a big loss....unlike a certain Torres!!!

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

I would have him here as long as he is going to be used as a winger. Danny can get his shot up the middle then challenging Torres for the starting spot. If we play to Dannys strengths we will see his real potential, he is fucking rapid, play him in behind defenders and they will struggle! Same with Torres, as long as we play him in behind defences he will hopefully start banging them in. None of this long ball to Drogba tactics any more.

I see nothing about this guy realy special. Average prospect, didnt show anything at euro and probably selfish. Not realy a winger and I think he will be good only in Germany.

I hope we dont get him, realy worst option of all we have been linked...

Can't help but agree.

[Kisho 33]

Apparantly schurrle can play on either wing with the same effect. His a good player with lots of talent.
