Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

With Schürrle it will be pretty much the €20m fee and reasonable wages for a player of his status.

A player of his status? :lol2:

How is he on set pieces?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Torres at his prime is 100x the player Schurrle will ever be and Andy Carroll was a classic case of panic buys.

A. They are completely different players, so comparing ability is pointless...

B. He hasn't been at his prime for 4 years.

Also, how do you know that. Schurlle is only 22. Whats to say he still can't improve. And finally, because he is only at that age, we will be able to sell him on at a later date if needed for a similar sort of fee, if not more, if he performs well.

Yes? A proven player in the Bundesliga who's good enough for the German national team, but not by any means a superstar like Neymar etc.

He starts for Germany ?

No he is mostly a sub.

Some great goals in that video. He looks more direct than any of the current attacking midfielders. A very respectable 14 goals 10 assists last season. He averaged 4 shots a game in the BuLi last season (which is the most) and had 122 shots overall.

He may not be the best player in the world but he's a massive upgrade on Marin and will be a good squad player.

People thought Moses was a waste of time and money. But he turned out to be a 'good' buy. I hope Schurle is that kind of buy though his price is over the roof. 12M should have done the deal

Dude, he is not a player who earned any status to be worth 20mi + KDB loan!

Schurrle is not the winger we need, he is only a sub for Germany (nothing impressive) and he is selfish.

Why are we buying an expensive player that doesn't fit in our system and will make Hazard move from his favorite position?

Have any of you actually watched Schurrle? I mean you'd think he was the second coming of Klinsmann reading some of the posts on here, so I actually made an effort to watch a few of his games and I was shocked at how average he is.

If anyone can put forth a legitimate argument for the club putting a one trick pony like Schurrle above KDB I'll keep quiet once and for all. I mean even German fans/press think Schurrle has stagnated and is overestimated by English fans.

This.

How is his crossing ? For 20m pounds we could get Di Maria couldn't we ?
