Schurrle signing confirmed; will wear #14

It's a bit frustrating that we're focusing so much time and effort into a player that isn't really seen as a super talent. I haven't heard of any other top side wanting him.

Obviously there's shit going down that we don't know about, but I wish we would here about some concrete links with players we actually need. Wish we'd get deals done quickly.

It'll be pretty annoying if City manage to get Cavani soon too in addition to Fernandinho and Navas before we make a single signing.

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.

It's not as apparent, KDB has come out numerous times and said he doesn't know where he's going out on loan yet because he hasn't spoken to Mourinho yet.

For all we know, Mourinho might want him to stay.

This whole saga just exposes what a colossal sham our youth program is. The more I think about it it's probably a front to funnel money somewhere else.

We have a talented young player, a starter for his up an coming national team, attracting the attention of multiple elite European teams and we are looking to replace him with an average talent no one except us in interested in. What the fuck is happening here ? The fans should demand the club to show them what they are planning to do with the young talents they have. Is there an actual plan to integrate them into the team ? Is there even a willingness to do so ?

Lukake, Courtois and now De Bruyne. Just by ourselves we might be able to destroy Belgium's national team. The more I think about all of this the more sick I get.

Hopefully in the future the FA will step in and stop this scam system of a hundred youth loans.

Worst on the pitch IMO which i didn't expect.

[Leif 6,006]

Wow awful shot

[nono 791]

Nice pass to Drogba. So far he is quick and passes pretty well.

[Super-Mario 74]

He is everywhere. He walks and walks.

[Super-Mario 74]

Also he has a nice haircut.

[Hutcho 8,443]

He keeps getting fouled lol.

@ChelseaRumours: Mourinho when asked if Schürrle's going to Chelsea: "We'll see." smiles.

[Super-Mario 74]

So this means a Yes !

[Hutcho 8,443]

Yeah i think its all but done. Would be very syrprised if it didn't go through.

[Pizy 18,368]

Pretty underwhelmed until I see him in a Chelsea shirt.

Said the same about Moses though and was pleasantly surprised at times.

[Super-Mario 74]

German Sky reporting he signed a 5 years-contract

Kevin de Bruyne is better than him! Jose needs to realise that!

[didierforever 7,349]

20 mil + kdb loan. NO WAY IN HELL!!1

[Super-Mario 74]

De Bruyne is imo a central player. We have there Mata,Oscar und Hazard.

[Hutcho 8,443]

In jose i trust.

So i will stick my neck out and say i am happy with this transfer. From what i have seen of him in the past i have been fairly impressed. Haven't followed him religiously by all means, so it will be a bit of a gamble. I think it could turn out to be a great signing. Only time will tell, but i'll back it. Would rather KDB be with us, but regular first team football and being the "star" of the team should help him.
