Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

[blueaddict 6]

He's likely to join us after all,Mourinho will be coaching the Ballack farewell match today and Schurlle is going to be playing the World 11 side going to be coached by Rudi Voller,and there are rumors Mourinho will get to talk to Schurrle after the match

[Mceachran 109]

In that video against the USA team, he didn't look to sharp. Mind you that left back he was playing against isn't even a proper left back.

Hopefully the deal will fail. I don't really understand how on the one hand we are paying around 20m for Schurrle but on the other we're haggling so much for Cavani ?

[Jype 6,398]

Not sure if already mentioned but something could happen as early as tonight, seeing as Mourinho, Leverkusen director Rudi Völler and Schürrle himself are all in Leipzig for Ballack's farewell match.

Hope the deal doesn't come through

According to a few German newspapers, Heung-Min Son is about to join Bayer Leverkusen. It's only about the transfer fee right now. Could be the Schürrle replacement.

Bayer Leverkusen asked Chelsea to change the proposed loan ofKevin de Bruyne to two years rather than just one.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

So they want Kevin for two years and 20M ?

Fuck that, no way we should agree. IMO Schurrle is not much better than KDB, that is if he is any better.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Didn't mind the year but 2 years? 2 years!? Now they're having a laugh. Unless they want to knock off at least another £5m off the deal.

[nono 791]

These idiots are crazy. Two year loan deal for a player ? Wtf.

[lucio 5,418]

i would do that deal for lars bender but for schurrle??? its starting to lose its appeal tbh

[LDN Blue 7,903]

It's not an unheard of request.. I mean Bruma is on a 2-year loan at Hamburg.

No one's saying that it's an unheard of request. It's the audacity of getting £20m for Schurrle AND KDB on loan for 2 years that's funny.

[chrismada9 1,948]

This is so pointless... and typical from our joke of a board! Can't even agree on something for a player that we don't even need! I'd much rather try and strike a deal for Rooney or Cavani... players who play in a position that we need people for... not wingers!!

We don't need Schurrle! I'd rather see KDB return to us and save £20m than sign a player with the same attributes as KDB and blow £20m!

That's like buying a PS3 game.. giving it to your mate to try out and play, before you play it yourself, then buying another PS3 game to play while the other game you bought is still being played by your mate! Then you let the mate who has your first game, give it to another mate for him to play! You never get to play that game while that game is being passed around, and then as a result, it's a waste of money!

Poor analogy, but it's the same thing as the De Bruyne situation! It's stupid!

Is it though?

With this option KdB still has a chance at Chelsea, it means if he does turn into this second coming of Jesus that everyone says he is - We won't be ending up kicking ourselves and then trying to buy him back for £35million. It would surely be better than selling him to BVB, no?

I'm actually for loaning him out if it means he gets regular playing time as a starter at a CL club but I don't see the need in them requesting for a two year loan because KDB is too far in his development - it's not really comparable to Bruma who was nowhere near ready for the CFC squad - and it's not like we're exactly blessed with depth in midfield.

Plus, it's not like it's exactly either a choice between KDB to Bayer for 2 years or selling KDB to BvB.

It isn't? Because from every other source it's quite apparent that he won't be with Chelsea next season and he's definitely on Dortmund's wishlist.

[GermanBlue 82]

The worst thing about this is that we have to fear that Chelsea will agree on this.
