César Azpilicueta

[diskoviolente 425]

If you say he looks bulky, then what about Hulk? Fat?

I meant for his age and overall appearance. Compare him to Bosingwa and you know what I mean with bulky. I mean it in a good way. He won´t be easily muscled off the ball, I am sure. Hulk, well, he is the Hulk, isn´t he.

The commentators will look forward to pronouncing his name.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Which number will he get?

[Blue Traveler 256]

Which number will he get?

It probably will be one of: 20, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41 and so on till 99!!

[Christo191 173]

I think 13, if i'm not mistaken, that was his number in Marse.

[Milan 17,955]

20 looks like it but maybe someone will leave the club which would leave him a lesser number or he has some wish.

[Madmax 9,219]

Lol... and it's not me this time...I was at work.

Wait, what ... you work?! You and Cap are on here 24/7

Saw that and I'm not quite sure if it was wise for Cole to talk about the transfer regarding Moses like that despite Wigan having agreed the fee from us.

RDM said Moses just needs a medical. He's pretty much signed too.

without having to go through the 54 pages, would someone kindly say what type of player he is? Is he an attacking fullback? Or more of a defensive type? rounded?

On 24 August 2012, Chelsea completed the signing of Azpilicueta for an undisclosed fee, reported as £7 million. According to his teammate and countryman Juan Mata, "He is a strong running right-back who has pace as well, so I think he is already a complete player." Upon arriving in England, his new teammates started calling him 'Dave' in referance to the British comedy only fools and horses, as they could not pronounce his name.

Azpilicueta made his debut on 25 September 2012, starting in a 6–0 home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers for the season's Football League Cup. He played his first Premier League game the following week, coming on as a substitute for Branislav Ivanović in a 4–1 success over Norwich City, also at Stamford Bridge.

On 3 November 2012 Azpilicueta made his first league start, appearing against Swansea City in a 1–1 away draw. He played 48 official contests in his first year with the Rafael Benítez-led side, including eight in the Blues' victorious campaign in the UEFA Europa League: in the final against S.L. Benfica his 67th-minute handball led to Óscar Cardozo's penalty kick equalizer, in an eventual 2–1 win in Amsterdam.
