Wishlist Fábio Coentrão

Don't forget that José has bee shifting Coentrao around the park a lot. He hasn't really been played in a consistent position since he joined. Leftback, Righback, Central Midfielder, Left Winger.

I imagine it's hard to remain consistent when his role has been changed so often.

Yet he is struggling to get gametime? He is missing training sessions and what not.

He missed one training session. He missed it due to injury. They still expected him to show up, even though he is injured. José didn't think too highly of this. When it's all said and done you can't make too many valid excuses for not showing up to work. He has also missed a handfull of games due to a four suspension handed out for insulting a match offical.

I have no idea why Real Madrid bought him. They never needed him when they already have Marcelo. I'd say that there on about the same level of abiltiy but José seems to prefer Marcelo to Coentrao. Any Benfica supporter will tell you that he was really important to their team when he was there, much like Cole has been for Chelsea.

Real Madrid is turning into a bit of a toxic wasteland for players and staff.

I'd only take Coentrao if Cole does end up leaving, which I think he will. Hell, he almost joined when AVB was in charge but was tempted by the "glorious" Real Madrid. And I think he mentioned something about having a hard time learning new languages like English, or some nonsense like that.

Coentrao is a very good fullback on his day, especially when attacking but I really want Bertrand to be given a shot if Cole leaves. Buying Coentrao will effectively end his career at Chelsea since he's 22 and he'd still be playing second fiddle to another LB.

Agreed, Bertrand has proven he can carry the torch.

He's good going forward but suspect at the back, i would rather Baines.

No thank you. Dont think a guy like that would fit in Chelsea.

We are fine with Iva, Cahill, Luiz and Terry for now. Rather have us sign some young, cheaper, talent. Like a Cahill-buy

He is a left back not a central defender. So I dont know why you are comparing him to Terry, Luiz etc..

Mata cant get into the Spanish squad....is he shit? No there are just better players out there.

Because the manager is a cunt. Mata is and was better than Silva at the time.

According MARCA, Coentrao will team up with Mourinho joining us. negotiations will begin as soon as the Mou tranfser will be official. we are ready to pay 18 million euros.

not surprising if it happens. he is versatile and pretty good.

[yuvala 2,167]

He's pretty good indeed.

would like this to happen if its under like 20M

@ChelsTransfer: Fabio Coentrao is expected to join #CFC for a fee of 18m and will be announced at Mourinho's first press conference (Radio Marca) #RMCF

More than happy if this came off

[Toli 977]

he is a good defender, still young...only problem is, at madrid, he didnt play well offensively (dont know why). for portugal, he offers really good support in offense. hope he will back up to this, if he comes to us.

but i dont believe in this rumour. coentrao and mou dont have the best relationship with each other.

[Severinb 309]

Hope we dont sign him would love to have bertrand and shaw play for us!

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Really like him.Di maria next please!!!

[Spike 12,049]

Turn him into a left winger.

Or something I don't know, as long as Shaw ends up here I'm happy.
