Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

[The only place to be 11,313]

The price will tell me everything. If we pay something like 20+ million for a squad player then just wow. We haven't learnt a thing.

But we clearly have learnt a lot. It seems weird that you would take all the other good transfers and then look at this one transfer and use this one example to judge the club's performance in the market.

Personally I'm looking at it the other way - we clearly have learnt so if we're pursuing this guy then the people in charge of recruitment must see something in him. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt at least until he's stepped foot on the Stamford Bridge pitch ready to kick a ball.

You know what, the sun is shining so I'm going to be extra nice and not write him off until his second game for us. How patient am I??

Is he faster than Navas ?

Is he faster than Navas ?

Depends who's chasing him...

Not sure. I am guessing Jesus Navas is faster but i don't know. I am sure someone will go check thier fifa stats for you though.

[Krypt 241]

Bit unsure about him.

Like previous posters say we seem adamant about getting him , maybe our scouts see something special or maybe its his age?

but as said previously 20 mill for a squad player is a lot.

"Good long distance shot" and "work rate" are definitely not the things that should come to mind first when you talk about a winger you wanna buy for 20m...

no, no we can't.

[Toli 977]

no

though his art of speaking is kinda harsh, he is right. schürrle is an inside-forward, not a winger...he aint crossing or something and not running trough the line. he has stamina, pace, speed, technique, a very good shot, is quite creative too. but he aint no "winger" as maybe Valencia is or A. Young.

[haranr 485]

no, no we can't.

Man are u really not gonna listen. Schurrle can play as a striker.

Somebody that understands.

I don't think so. He categorically called him a striker. Hazard has stamina, pace, speed, technique and creativity (Schurrle doesn't have a very good shot IMO. Most shots in the Bundesliga this season, barely any goals) but he's not a forward, striker or inside-forward.

Schurrle is an unorthodox winger IMO.

But he's not a striker and you said he is. Any player can play as a striker. I'm sure Luiz could play as a striker. But that doesn't mean he should or it should be considered an option.

Schurrle would not be bought to be played as a striker. Bayer don't play him as a striker. Germany don't play him as a striker. Because he isn't a striker.

He has some of the worst finishing I've witnessed this decade I think so really shouldn't be considered for such a role.
