Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

Maybe we should go for Son Heung-Min instead.

As much as i like heung min, I think schurrle would give us options in the way we play next season as mentioned by some here. Although heungmin would probably be abit more cheaper.

This guy will pleasantly surprise a few on here.

Be careful you might get shouted at by people who are adamant they want him to fail before a ball is kicked.

You can't blame some of us for being sceptical especially after lots of members made Marin out to be a German Messiah (and of course that stupid German Messi rubbish) before he arrived.

[Peppen 934]

Have a gut feeling he'll be a class act for us. Go for it.

[Special Juan 27,456]

I don't mind anyone having an opinion but please have a valid opinion of a player based on watching him more than once and not what others say or from Youtube clips. Titus Bramble is made to look like Mats Hummels on Youtube.

Take some time and watch games these players play in, it's much easier.

I don't want to draw any comparisons, because they are different players afterall, but nevertheless isn't Garth Bale all about his pace and shot? Let him first prove himself, 20mil euros for a potential player isn't a bad decision.

marin sucked at bremen...so people making him out be "german messi" are on their own fault. he was already on a downhill of his career, while schürrle probably has had the best year of his carreer...

A lot of news related to Schurrle at the moment. Some said no deal yet. Some said it is a done deal. :confused:

You are the last person I expected, who against Son Heung-Min's signing, but oh well.

I found some similarities between Son and Schurrle.

- They are both has the same height 1.84 m. Son even taller than Schurrle by half an inch.

- They are both could play as a striker, second striker or winger.

- They are both has an excellent speed, work-rate and pace.

- They are both quite young, Son 20 years old, Schurrle 22 years old.

Your know what really grinds my gears?? That no other team want this guy. I have a feelin he will be a Moses or a Ba. Still think we are over payin them

Lol wut? This is how you base your opinions on transfers? Well no-one was targeting Oscar, Luiz, Azpilicueta etc when we went in for them and look how they've turned out. It's a very baseless argument you've posed.

Im not against Son, I just thought that we are 'close' to getting schurrle anway. Yes from the little that ive seen schurrle they seem to have some similarities.

As you said, both can play as striker, ss and winger although Son usually plays on the right wing compared to schurrle on the left.

I believe schurrle is the faster player which is one of his major strengths. Son is more technical though and a better dribbler than schurrle. Great left foot but also cuts in from the wing like schurrle, not a traditional winger. Both as you mentioned hard worker, Son in particular would track back.

Son is pretty average at aerial duels though (wins only 38% of his aerial duels), even though he is quite tall especially for asian standard.

I would not say no to Son, but there are no concrete interest from Chelsea. I dont know how much Son would cost either, but Schurrle would offer somethign that non of our current attackers have and the deal seems to be close to done.

Im hoping there will be a korean or asian player at Chelsea sometime in the future. Interesting to see how football is growing in Asia.

Didnt we steal Oscar from under tottenham's nose?? which made it an even better transfer Muahaha.

We have been hearing that for yonks now. Has been going back and forth this transfer - on, off, on, off, on...

Just get this transfer done ASAP if Schurrle is really wanted here by Mourinho.

On and off like a whore's knickers.

He's an upgrade on Moses definitely but I'm going to be pulling my hair out if he's slotted into the XI and pushes Hazard onto the right in the process.

Under Di Matteo I felt Hazard was actually better on the right as he went through the centre more and showed off his tricks more, but he's definitely becoming more of a threat on the left now, playing the role Ronaldo, Jese, Bale (sort of) etc. play. That 'i'm going to play like a striker but be on the wing' sort of role.

It's common knowledge that putting Schurrle on the right isn't much better than putting Ramires on the right, so I've no idea how this will work unless he genuinely is just a bench option.

Regardless; Hopefully he's more consistent for us than Podolski is for Arsenal. I see them as similar players.
