César Azpilicueta

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

There is no way we going to sign Richards as City won't sell and if they do then it will be for a really high price.At the moment,there aren't many right back options available for us.First it was Van Der Weil from Ajax but his terrible performance in the Euros cost him a move to a top club which probably included Madrid also.

Maicon was the other option and I honestly felt that he would have been a great a short term solution but unfortunately the deal never happened.Now Cesar is probably our only option and since we desperately need a right back as we can't depend upon the short temper Iva or Paulo,this deal should be completed asap.

Everything seem to be going well right now, as some have said and hoping we can seal this deal soon, very soon.

@CarloFan: RT “@NourAgha: L'Equipe believe a deal for Cesar Azpilicueta might be done by the end of the week for around €9M. #CFC”

It's picking up pace, I feel this will be done very soon

Decent deal if true. Not heard many great things about the lad, never seen him play, but €9m is a relatively low fee so even if he doesn't turn out to be good it's not the end of the world.

All I ask from him at this moment in time is that he'll provide good back up to Ivanovic, better than Ferreira or Hutch. If he can make the step up then that's even better.

In the Bundesliga, yes, but Marseille were awful last season, and Ligue 1 is quite a step down from the Bundesliga, so I'm expecting him to actually be one of their better players next season.

The Bundesliga is a step up in midfield and attack in general, but in the back four the Bundesliga is for me a step down on Ligue1.

Azpilicueta must be our first Right Back.

Ivanovic is ok if we play defensive with the midfield line close to the defenders.

But otherwise, I would prefer Azpilicueta as he has more agility and is quite good on one on one situation.

Not basing on what I've heard/read. Azpilicueta isn't on Ivanovic's level at RB. He's not supremly agile compared to Ivanovic, plus he's not better in attack either. I think you've got the wrong image of Azpilicueta in your mind if you think he's good enough to displace Ivanovic at RB.

Then again, I could be wrong as well as I haven't seen him play at all.

Chelsea Transfer News: Cesar Azpilicueta To Be Confirmed By The Weekend As Blues Hold Squad No.13 For Him

[FormerRussianSpy 163]

Any credibility to those sources? I'm excited to see them coming from a couple different (albeit dubious) places rather than just one [dubious] place.

80K/week?? little high for a back-up. As long as he could provide a above decent performance i wont mind.

[Marvin123 530]

80k a week? Can't be right

In this season,he will get a lot of chances to show his skills and Ivanovic won´t play 60 games.It would be a good signing and he can improve his defensive skills,when Ivanovic teaches him sth.
