Mats Hummels

[Joe Ay 66]

Couldn't find a thread on this guy so figured I start one.

Imo, this guy will be the best defender in the world in 2/3 years time. He was solid against Portugal last night, and has been consistently good every time I've watched him for either Dortmund or Germany.

After Thiago Silva and Kompany, I'd rank him as the 3rd best defender (based on form) in the world right now. This guy is just phenomenal. He's similar to our David Luiz in terms of technique and how comfortable he is in possession, but I'd rank him higher in terms of his decision-making and ability to make out a pass.

I know that our central defence is looking pretty decent these days with Cahil being a decent back-up to Terry/Luiz but one can dream eh? Terry can go on at a top level for another 2/3 seasons, more than enough time for Hummels to mature and be more willing to test himself abroad.

Just signed an extension. In the future, he will probably go to Bayern, that's where most Germans end up anyway. Plus, he came through Bayern's academy. You can bet they'll try to play that card when getting him.

No thanks. We already have two quality Champions League winners for our future

Besides, i rate Vermaelan and Agger higher

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

CB is the last position we need to reinforce so no thanks. And Luiz will be the best, not this German.

we wait on him in 4years time

Both very injury prone, especially Agger who we should never even consider as he's constantly out with back problems. Hummels is imo great, but I agree with you, we are more than covered in the central defense.

if we sell branslav or luiz. i think we can pull him for 25 million

In my opinion Hummels is already among the best centre backs in the world but we don't need him at Chelsea and I doubt he would even want to come. Also as noted above, he just signed a contract extension and won't be leaving Dortmund this summer.

if we sell branslav or luiz. i think we can pull him for 25 million

And why the fuck would we want to do that?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Varane, Sakho, Hummels,...lot of grat defenders coming. We dont realy need him, but sure he is class player.

And I dont see him in Bayern somehow, they already offered a deal, but he refused them and extended with Dortmund. He knows they got rid of him and now want him back (unlike Cesc who is one cry baby...had no thanks to the club who actualy made him star)

[CHOULO19 24,332]

And why the fuck would we want to do that?

I think he meant if Brana wants to leave. He left the door open for Madrid by saying that he will decide on his future when he returns from vacation. You never know.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Could Hummels play RB too?

[blue_swaggin_96 96]

And why the fuck would we want to do that?

well to be honest, branslav already said, he would go to madrid or like the guy above me said. he commented on madrid

as for luiz, you never know. he loves attacking, if barca puts the right price down.. i think our board would sell

of course i dont want none of them to go as i think we gotta pretty good chance on retaining our European glory next season!

No need to buy every potential world class player.

Eliaquim Mangala, remember this name...
