Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

[BlueLyon 9,359]

But he is a true winger and has much more potential.. He can beat a player and does not always do the same thing and shoots...

Farfan. If you ever watched him, you know why he would be great here.

Im sure there must be some experience too, bit old but he has some killer through passes/crosses. We lack that badly...

[The Skipper 20,593]

and we're prepared to let him go

We aren't though, just because there are rumours someone is interested in our player doesn't mean we're prepared to let him go.

Farfan. If you ever watched him, you know why he would be great here.

We should be aiming higher than players of Farfan's calibre, sorry.

Leverkusen set to sign Romarinho from Corinthians as his replacement.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Does that mean we get to keep KDB??

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Does that mean we get to keep KDB??

He may still go there on loan... hope not!

KDB, Hazard, Mata, Shurlle, Oscar, Moses is perfect for the attacking 3

YAAAYYYY

[Hamilton 2,120]

Better a loan to there then a sale to Dortmund..

[blu35_army 551]

KDB, Hazard, Mata, Schurlle, Oscar, Moses Di Maria is perfect for the attacking 3

Realy? Farfan's only weakness is his age, but aside from that, he has everything we need for a winger. He is incredibly muscular, decent height (1,78) and superb sprinter. He tracks back (similar to Pedro), but what he is best is that he offers width. His dribbling drags defenders on him, giving space for Huntelaar and others. His crosses/through balls are fantastic, you rarely get that in wingers nowdays. Do we have proper crossers? No. IF Cavani ever comes, someone like Farfan is 10times more usefull than Sanchez or Schurrle. Farfan can dribble, play short passes (from Psv times) and cross very good. He isnt real finisher, but he can score (in past he had rocket in his legs, nowdays he is more of team player and wants to deliver ball to strikers, rather to shot himself). As from defensive rate, he isnt Schurrle, but still much better than Mata or Hazard. His physical strenght is key in his dribbles (while Sanchez uses mostly fast tricks). You wont get this guy of the ball when he is attacking unless he will want to dive. While dribbling, he also relies on his pace (still extremely fast, like he was very young). Pace is what we lack in attack, thing is that Farfan can drive the ball through flanks with speed or if opponent playa tight defence, he could do one-twos with Hazard and Mata. His passing is realy good, you know. Not xavi but certainly equal to Hazard (less flair but more calm passer). He can pose threat from set pieces and when he takes long shots. One thing, he is also very experienced (regular player in CL) and now plays in BuLi, league that is alredy on high level and physicaly strong one.

As I said, his age is his major flaw, because he 28 already. That isnt going with our policy, but hey, we cant have just young players...I think he would fit with Mou well, he isnt trouble maker off pitch or on it, and he can play either possesion or counter football. And he is NATURAL right winger, he would fit in team perfectly. Schurrle isnt skilled passer and Sanchez is never coming under Mou, I think...

[Magic Lamps 11,635]

We should have signed Farfan two years ago, when we were also linked with him. He is just like a faster, more skilled, more experienced and more mature Moses. He would give us great balance in the attacking team, surely more than Schürrle or whoever. Sadly he is already on the way down and won't get any better. He would probably need some time to acclimatize to the EPl and at his age he does not have that time.

[Alabama 1,992]

will give the team another dimension of attacking threat especially with the precious ingenuity of our mazascar trinity

@BlueLyon you have forgotten his problems with discipline. he was often fined by Schalke etc. also sometimes he starts season overweighed etc...he is a little troublemaker. dont want him here, also he is already on the downhill. his form this season wasnt that good.

Well yeah, he is getting in late years soo..If only he was 26 or sth...but his attitude was never realy a problem like it was/is with likes of Balotelli or Mvila.

Yeah it looks like he will be moving, and most likely to Chelsea, since we are the only team after him:
