Victor Moses

[francozola 2,040]

I know Moses is a good player, but is he even in Hulks league? Seems like a massive step down.

Agree with this, he'll probably just be a squad player if he joins but I feel like we need to take advantage of being European Champions and lure some better players to the club. I know people feel like we already have too many players for our squad to try and sign more (potentially) world-class players but that's just not true, there are 60 over games every season and to be able to compete for the title and the CL you need excellent players and replacements in your team. Torres, Sturridge, Lukaku are a question mark. Malouda is pretty much worthless. De Bruyne & Marin are unproven. Out of our 'attack', only Hazard and Mata can be relied upon so if this does indeed happen, I hope it isn't our final piece of business in that area.

In a perfect world (for me), this transfer would mean Torres leaving for anything above £20mil to Juventus, Sturridge becoming our starting striker and then Lukaku + Moses being his back-up.

Isn't Moses a winger though?

[Leif 6,006]

Isn't Moses a winger though?

Well he's naturally a striker, who's simply deployed on the wing.

Just like Sturridge, Hulk, how Anelka was, etc.

[Spike 12,049]

You want Schurrle and Jovetic, neither of whom are strikers, as back-up?

Schurrle has only played on the wing for Bayer Leverkusen at Mainz he was played at CF.

Schurrle has only played on the wing for Bayer Leverkusen at Mainz he was played at CF.

He only ever plays on the wing for Germany too, though, and we're about to enter his 2nd season of him playing on the wing, as a winger.

He's also known in the Bundesliga for being an inefficient finisher (based on this past season only though.)

[jmarlow 458]

There's so much I could face palm at there.

Ramires is a central midfielder. He was played out of position on the wing. So you want Moses, who is apparently not a striker (I assume you mean he's a winger then), to be back up to a central midfielder?

You want Schurrle and Jovetic, neither of whom are strikers, as back-up?

Moses is unproven at the top level? He's proven in the Premier League. When was Jovetic proven?

Or do you mean Sturridge, our top scoring forward this season, is unproven?

Moses as back-up to Marin? You DO realise don't you that Marin IS the back-up?

LOOL! you dont get it do you?

First of all yes Ramires is a CM but he was also our best player last season with Mata, and most of Ramires best performances came from RW!!! and yes Moses is not an out and out striker! Schurrle and Jovetic can both play as strikers and out wide!

and yes Sturridge is unproven as a striker at the top level! oh wait but he scored goals for us last season from RW! lool! you do realize scoring from RW where he could sneak in at the back post is a whole lot different to leading the line and scoring goals as an out and out striker where he would be up against two CB's! who would probably scare the life out of Sturridge! i could only imagine how bad he would be playing for us as a ST he would get bullied so easily against the opposition CB's, Sturridge is not the answer simple as that!

[Spike 12,049]

He only ever plays on the wing for Germany too, though, and we're about to enter his 2nd season of him playing on the wing, as a winger.

Doesn't matter, he is more than capable of playing as striker, he didn't magically forget how to play in that position.

Now whelan is saying and i quote " Chelsea have offered a lot less than 4 mil ." He also said they will let him go for right price which i think would be around 8 mil

No-one claimed Moses is an out-and-out striker.

Why do you think we're trying to buy a WINGER then? Why are we even talking about WINGERS? Because Ramires won't be our starting right-winger next season.

I see you're completely disregarding Sturridge leading the line for Bolton then, scoring most of his goals from headers and one on one situations after getting past centre-backs.

How on earth can you talk about the idea of Sturridge getting bullied easily by CB's, and be talking about Jovetic as back-up instead?

*facepalm*

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Why the fuck didnt we go after Lavezzi if Hulk was too expensive?!?!

Lavezzi is only class winger along Hulk, we might get him for 25mio, he is experienced and not too old, real fighter and runner plus bulky enough to give balance...now he goes to Psg...

[Leif 6,006]

Doesn't matter, he is more than capable of playing as striker, he didn't magically forget how to play in that position.

Exactly the same as Victor Moses, naturally a striker, then.

[Pizy 18,852]

Hope you guys that are saying he'd be a squad player are right. Otherwise, this is what midtable clubs like Liverpool do. Poach cheap players from the likes of Wigan and bottom table clubs.

We're European Champions and should be bringing in proven, instant impact, world class players.

Moses would be a great squad player, though.

[English Freak 456]

Doesn't matter, he is more than capable of playing as striker, he didn't magically forget how to play in that position.

Don't think he's capable (Schurrle) of playing the lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

We bought Cahill.

He helped us win the Champions League, including putting in a masterclass performance in the final vs. Bayern Munich.

He was bought from now-relegated Bolton. Wigan aren't relegated. Cahill also isn't world class.

A team is supposed to be built up with a mix of world-class players, experience, promising youngsters and squad players.

Do you expect us to buy Thiago Silva?

You don't just magically find and buy world class players.

You buy players with potential, and then turn them world class.

[The Skipper 20,609]

A potential Sturridge, Moses and Lukaku combination leading the line is a massive step down from a potential Torres, Sturridge and Hulk combination. Not good enough for a top four finish at all. Even Newcastle would have a better front line.
