Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

[bushman 2,043]

Nobody here really knows the status of the transfer, but there is far more pointing towards him being close to signing for Chelsea than the opposite. Tribalfootball has about as much insight as goal.com, and what they write should not be considered at all.

As far as Schurrle goes I think it will be a very good transfer. The price might be slightly higher than I would have liked, but I have many friends who follow bundesliga and they are all very sad for Chelsea snatching him away from there.

As far as KDB goes I find it quite amusing how much people are complaining of the "treatment" he gets at the hands of Chelsea when we truly have no idea how the negotiations go. So far we only know, more or less, that Chelsea did not want to sell him to Leverkusen, that is a good sign in my opinion.

Even if he is being used as a pawn and will be sent to Leverkusen for a loan, is that so terrible for him? Leverkusen has a very interesting team and belong to the top in Germany, that in combination with the Champions League will hardly be a bad experience for him.

As I said, it was just a rumor, whether reliable or not...

As for KDB & Chelsea´s treatment of him. Well, he too does not want to go somewhere where he feels awkward.

KDB is very talented young player. He should have a say in his future, I feel.

Wouldn't be upset if the deal was really off, tbh.

According to EatSleepSport...most of you experts might say...unreliable.

Andre fears for his proposed move to Chelsea could break down.

A 5 year deal has already been agreed but the transfer fee now the only potential stumbling block.

Lever want 20m plus KDB but Chelsea are reluctant to sell Kevin & would prefer to loan him out for another season.

If this story has any merit, then I may ask the following:

Are these Krauses for real ?

LOL 20+KDB for andre fucking schurrle???You gotta be kidding me.

That´s what I thought. Either the story is out of it or the krauts are drinking too much, I feel.

Schurrle is good but Kdb is easily worth around 18mio.

That plus 20mio extra is 38. How the fuck is Schurle worth 38mio for Bayer?!

must be kdb on loan. leverkusen are just mad they sold vidal for 7m

[bushman 2,043]

OK take it easy boys. The krauts are going to keep Andre all discontented player & Chelsea will buy someone else.

OK take it easy boys. The krauts are going to keep Andre all discontented player & Chelsea will buy someone else and recall KDB

Fixed.

Well, just look at this kid´s goals.

Any word if we are dumb enough to give them KDB?
