New Signing Victor Moses Joins Chelsea

way better than an EPL unproven Willian for a 20 million, I just hope Cech get's back in form, with that we're good to go!

Is he a true winger though? I've always been under the impression he is a winger that has been converted from a centre foward.

Like Sturridge, I don't think he's big enough to shrug off most defenses and also, like him he prefers to shoot than pass, not the most prolific of wingers, just the 8 goals to show in 74 matches but he wins fouls, he's clever with his feet and he's only 21! decent buy but like Oscar, it's too early to tell if he'll live up to that badge.

Perhaps but I don't care if he was a postman in his past he played as a winger for Wigan and he has done it well there. His crossing is also nice.

Biggest positive thing is that he is this summers first signing with epl experience. And he had wonderful season with wigan, his speedy wing runs will also give us another option to our attack.

Would have prefered a striker.

Hazard, Marin, Oscar Sturridge, Bertrand and Mata are already here for the 3 offensive midfilders

If you haven't read this, i suggest you do. Must have had a very tough childhood, makes you really respect Moses

The fact that you had to include a left-back and a striker there to make up the numbers clearly shows that Moses is more than needed. Now we have Hazard, Mata, Marin, Oscar and Moses for those three positions and the likes of Ramires, Bertrand and Sturridge can all provide cover there if needed but primarily they should be playing in their own positions. Ramires is a tricky one because Di Matteo doesn't seem to like him for the double pivot and insists on playing him on the right wing, but Sturridge and Bertrand shouldn't play on the wings that often imo.

I didn't include Malouda, Benayoun and Kakuta there because I consider them deadwood and they're not in the club's future plans. Maybe we can't get rid of all three within this transfer window, but they're definitely gone by next summer at the latest.

He came through an extremely difficult situation.

Nothing but respect for the man after reading this article. My goodness, the horror which people have seen and still keep on going.

I am delighted that we´ve signed him. He´s very strong and happy to drift out wide and hugging the touchline. Something we haven´t had in ages and what we need so desperatly. If called upon, he´d play as a striker as well. I remember last season Wigan lost to United with a man down and he was playing centre forward alone upfront and still troubled the shit out of United.

The Physique of the man! We've just basically bought Lukaku again but one who's got more premiership experience. After seeing Lukaku yesterday, i can't wait to see us play him and Moses and Terrorise some poor back line one day.

Respect. Wish him even more luck now. The guy is extremely couragous and is playing Football for the love of it. His parents would be proud

Not a conventional winger because he likes to do runs on the entire width of the pitch, to cut inside as well. But Martinez praised several times his tactical discipline, when Moses' handed a role, he holds it anyway.

Many speak about he 'width', the main thing is the tactical discipline. Same with Moses' strength, he's powerfull but first of all he keeps his body balance. One thing doesn't implies the other, cf Lukaku

He played upfront at Palace, in 2008/2009 by example but he wasn't that great, he didn't manage to fulfill the promises of his 1st season.

On a personnal plan I'm very excited about the fact we finally signed him, usually I'm not right to the start. The last time shall be Deco or Zhirkov. He has raw talent, he's been praised all his career for his hard working mentality (and we can see his improvement season after season). His personnal background is kind of a guarantee he won't just earn his paycheck every month, that's the reason I'm so eager to see him playing and improving at Chelsea

My personnal bet is two years from now, to laugh about the possibility to sign Hulk for such a ridiculous amount of money whereas we've a potential who can become at least as good in some time now.
