Victor Moses

[silviupastean 135]

i was just pointing out that malouda didn't play that much this year, and it's obvious that next year won't be any different, and he still said in the press he wants to stay, although he won't play

Jovetic isn't a natural RW...he'd take time to adjust to the RW role which is something we don't need at the moment.

Moses would be a good addition to the squad for the long-term...but we need to sign our starting RW first.

I doubt we'll be playing witha proper RW anyway as the three would probably rotate with jovetic in there. Something like: Jovetic-Mata-Hazard. Moses would be great backup though as I'm sure he's not being brought in to be first choice

If we're not going to play with a proper RW...then Marin, Kevin De Bruyne & Kakuta should be good enough to fill one of the 3 attacking midfielder/winger roles in a 4-2-3-1 formation...hence we don't need Jovetic for 25 million.

Well, it looks like some of you here might be pleased to read Chelsea are prepared to increase the price for Moses.

Even though, their first offer was laughed at, perhaps the next one just may be accepted.

The kid wants out of Wigan badly & that might work well for Chelsea.

I still think, he is not needed at Chelsea & money spent for him will be dead for a couple of years yet.

Malouda staying isn't all bad, he can still put in a good shift and though he seems to refuse to take players on, he does a very good job defensively. He's a useful squad player.

Good suggestion, but his wage would be such a waste for a squad player, might as well give the slot for Kakuta, KDB or Josh, just my humble opinion.

Malouda is on 110k pounds per week, do you really want him in the squad considering how shit he has been for the last 18 months .

having backup is good but at this rate we are inflating the squad beyond what's needed. if we sign moses i think malouda should leave. there is already kdb, marin, hazard, sturridge, ramires, moses/hulk/both who can play on the wing.ryan bertrand as well

Dont think there is a huge interest from us to actually get Moses. I think it was one of those "yeh stick a bid in if its accepted great, if not we will move on, wont lose sleep" Although I'd not be surprised to see a 2nd bid. Probably about 6m, followed by a public TR or admittance by Moses he wants the move

[The Rising Sun 711]

Why cant we hijack the Lavezzi deal with PSG? He's probably the fastest and most skillful wingers in the market currently, if we cant get hulk, we should hijack lavezzi.

Moses is decent and has his good moments, but this move has too much risk attached to it..... not on the money angle, but whether he becomes a stewart downing types who was good in a small team but couldnt step up. Im not one who agrees with the argument that he was cheap so even if he fails its ok. We do need someone though.

Additionally, i think its about time we scrapped our youth setup and spend that money on buying players, as either our youth has been crap over 8 years, or start churning out prospects and bring them as back ups. im not saying many need to come through....even if 1 or 2 come through, that will be good. Bertrand is an exception. A little sarcasm with some anger.

Our youth team has consistently won trophies, yet other teams keep having their players come in as backups, and a few even make it into starting lineups.... for us.... its no one coming through, just buy buy buy.

[capriccioso 2,545]

We should really have gone in for Lavezzi instead of Hulk. He had a maximum buyout clause of 28 million pounds, throw in a Malouda or an Essien and we could have beaten them down to about 23.

Agree. And if you remember, Napoli fans rated Malouda very highly for some odd reason.

26 million euros to PSG. what a steal. We like sitting and watching good players available going to other clubs.

[The Skipper 20,609]

If I remember correctly Lavezzi prefers the left side? Possible explanation. I think Hulk is exactly what we need, we can't be too lightweight in attack and Hulk offers more physicality than Lavezzi. That's why I wouldn't mind Moses as a back up here either. He's got power.

It will be interesting to see how Man City, a club with a solid recent history of bringing through academy players will bring players through with all the money, top talent, and massive expectations.

By 'other teams' only Man Utd have been at the same level as us over the last few seasons. They have an academy established over a number of years and a manager who's job is iron clad and can blood youngsters with less pressure involved. Over the last couple of seasons they have only brought through Welbeck consistently, and Cleverley on the fringes. Both have been out on loan and enjoyed successful loan spells, much like Sturridge experienced.

Have faith and patience mate.
