Melanicus 5,208 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Roberto Di Matteo has shortlisted two wide players from Porto and Lazio respectively to add competition to Chelsea's first-team squad. The new Blues' boss wants to beef up competition by providing back-up to Branislav Ivanovic and Ashley Cole. Di Matteo is seeking a right-back, a versatile left midfielder-cum-defender and a replacement for Didier Drogba as top of his list of priorities. Two names near the top of his shortlist are Porto's Cristian Sapunaru and Senad Lucic from Lazio. Sapunaru is seen as being able to provide cover for Ivanovic ahead of what is sure to be a testing campaign for the Champions League winners. And Bosnia international Lucic, who has enjoyed an excellent first campaign with Lazio, has the added attraction of being able to play either as a wide midfielder or at left-back.Source: DailyMail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The Daily Mail could at least spell Lulić correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If you believe the mail, we have also signed about a dozen other players in the last week Won't believe any of this until we are reliably linked with them.Having said that, I wouldn't mind Sapunaru here. But then again, doing business with Porto is always a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 funny enough i was playing Fifa last night and signed Sapunaru for those reasons as cover for RB and CB.we didn`t do bad the last time we signed a Romanian RB.... however it is the mail so we probably sign someone else.

OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Cristian Sapunaru plays for Porto you say? Well expect some dodgy release clause of at least 80 million then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosnianLion 232 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I would love this. Lulic is a fantastic player, I'm sure the fans would love him here. He's one of those that gives 110% every match, runs like crazy. Little engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosnianLion 232 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 By the way, no wonder Di Matteo is a Lulic fan..Player X plays in Switzerland, switches over to Lazio in the Serie A, and then to Chelsea. Sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BosnianLion 232 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 So basically another industrial player like Ramires, oh yes we could do with a few of those sorts of players.Absolutely. Incredible pace/stamina coupled with technique, not to mention he can SCORE as a natural LB/LM. He was voted as one of the best Serie A transfers.

Amblève. 4,995 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hey guys, new Member here, name's Mehmed. I'm from Tuzla, Bosnia but I live in Belgium . I think Lulic is a great signing, I follow the Bosnian NT heavily and I loved his games in the qualifers, best player by far!-Mehmed.Dobro doso, stari! As someone who watches games of the Bosnian NT and Lazio games (because of Lulic of course lol) I can assure you that Lulic would be a nice fit. A good rotational player who provides you hustle and heart every game. He's not the most talented guy but he can make big things happen from time to time. Tho, I'm not sure if we are in need for such a player as we should rather be watching out for some real quality lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBosanacinBlue 9 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I love his long shot, especially his 4 goals this season ( I think ), were almost all from right footed finesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBosanacinBlue 9 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm not sure if he would get any playing time though, he is a preferred LW or LM, and we have in that position, Mata/Marin/Hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanicus 5,208 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 He wouldn't be bad signing, but I'm not sure if interest is really strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
