[Beepu 1,714]

im pretty sure oscar was 25m euros

Schurrle wouldnt fill a need, but he offers something a bit different than what we have now. Im just glad KDB wont probably be involved

[The Skipper 20,609]

True. I've already seen this Schurrle transfer reported as a 50m deal (adding wages). They really hate us don't they?

It makes you wonder about other figures like £32m Hazard and £25m Oscar. Even Lukaku at £18m

I'm pretty sure Oscar was 25m euros.

Thanks. The English press are the absolute worse football journos in the world.

Maybe Torres wasn't 50m after all

That's 22m euros firstly and there's also the fact Schurrle is very happy to do a job on the wing, contributes defensively and has immense work-rate as well as contributing offensively. He's also far more talented than Sturridge (just my opinion mind). Had Sturridge shown all of these qualities then maybe he wouldn't have been sold. So yes, nice job CFC

Schürrle is more mature, intelligent than Sturridge, but Sturridge is far more talented and unpredictable.

Still I'd rather have Sanchez, cos he is a little quicker, out and out winger, more experienced and skilled. Though it is not much a difference.

im pretty sure schuurle is faster than sanchez but they are both fast. and im sorry but he pisses on sturridge. there is no way sturridge would of got 22 caps for germany if he was german

Schurrle isnt even that fast, no way near the pace of Sanchez.

A little skeptical to this buy, would rather see a speedy winger that can beat his man with pure pace, like Moses but better.

Like I said, just my opinion that Schurrle is more talented.

Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Völler is in London right now to negotiate the Schürrle to Chelsea transfer. Decision close. #CFC

It makes you wonder about other figures like £32m Hazard and £25m Oscar. Even Lukaku at £18m

As some members have already stated, Oscar has been bought for 25 millions euros, not 25 millions pounds. I read on some brazilians site that his price was slightly over 60 millions reals. $R65m = €25m. So that makes sense (and £25m = $R77m...).

On the other hand, Hazard price tag is truly £32m. He cost €40m. Though, his wage is “only” £110k a week, while they say £150+k.

And Lukaku as far as I recal was 10M + bonuses (which could increase it to 18). But if he turns out good enough to earn those bonuses then he's good enough to warrant that fee.

Yup. English media has brainwashed most people to believe that Hazard is on 175k p/w wages here when he's clearly not as the Belgian/French media has said he's only on 110k p/w wages(or somewhere around there). In fact, I even remember the English media going in detail and calculating the price of Hazard's entire contract which was just ridiculously mental! Anyway, between the English and French/Belgian media, I know who I would rather believe more in this situation given the latter knows much more about Hazard and especially the English media has an agenda against us and they don't usually have a clue what's going on with our transfers.
