Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Agreed, but who?

Duh

[Hutcho 8,443]

Duh

He's not a right winger.

He can play there, but he is a AM, whose next best positon is probably a bit deeper.

You may as well have just said oscar.

[Strike 7,474]

Agreed, but who?

Ideally Reus. or di Maria or Lamela. Griezmann and Mollo have played some games in the right but I have no problems with Schurrle if the board have tried to get some of the wingers. I just hope that they have taken an informed decision and not jumped on the first player they thought of. If di Maria was available and goes to some other club in the window, I would be pissed

There is also the very obvious positional problem with Schurrle. He's a Left winger and so is Hazard, who is a definite starter in the team. Schurrle hasn't played enough on the right and he will be basically learning the Right Wing position. Would have been better off signing a proper Right Winger in the first place

Resign Kalou

Yeah lets just stick with our incredible unbalanced team.... jesus christ do some people on here even think?

We conceded loads of goals last season because of lack of work rate, midfield was left exposed which left the defence exposed, the team wasn't working all at once. We already have too many Mata's and Hazards as it is.

Someone like Schurrle will chase the ball and try and win every header, he has the right mentallity, all you people think about is 'Oh well Hazard is a better dribbler, uhm he isn't a better passer than Oscar'. FOR FUCK SAKE WE NEED DIFFERENT PLAYERS! our team is far too unbalanced, getting different players so they can do shifts down certain wings is a wise thing to do, because when we play the Mazacar we concede a lot of goals.

Duh

"Proper right winger" KDB is not a winger, and is better in a central position.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Why dont we include Marin instead of De Bruyne since he is more versatile and more pressing to our needs than Marin?? The things the board does sometimes. SMH

[Strike 7,474]

Duh

Why do Chelsea fans have the impression that KDB is a right winger? Sure he's played there a few times and his crossing ability is good but this is just absurd. His best position is Central where his passing becomes an asset

This is my point. I agree with all of those names, but theres no guarentee that they would sell them, or want to come here. The majority would also be more expensive and compared to other positions there arn't actually that many quality ones available.

I don't think there is a person on this forum who wouldn't have reus or di maria, but its never as easy as that.

Why would leverkusen want him? I understand why they want kdb from us the most!

Pretty sure Leverkusen will call the deal off if Marin was offered instead of de Bruyne

Robben and Ribery weren't renowned for their work rate either until this season.

Mata is hopeless, Hazard has shown a willingness to track back as the season has gone on and Oscar is brilliant defensively.

Those three aren't the problem for our crappy defense either by the way. It's been going on for a good 3 seasons now long before they arrived. Mou's return should hopefully rectify that problem.
