Marco Reus

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

For some reason I actually think Ribery could do a job for us here for a couple of years on a low fee and high wages. Lets say we sell Schurrle to Dortmund for 20-25m, who in turn got it from selling Reus to Bayern for the same amount(release clause). Bayern would then be willing to let Ribery leaves, who we can sign as a Alonso type of deal aka 10m max but even though he will get 150-200k per week on a 2-3 years deal.

Of course this only applies if Ribery actually show for the rest of the season he still got it at the highest level(which he seems to be doing atm). Also a lot of ifs but I wouldn't rule it out completely, domino effect and all that. Then in a couple of years we get rid of Ribery if he isn't up to it anymore and begin battling for the next Bale/Hazard. how does this sound?

Getting Reus while dumping pathetic Schurrle at the same time will be a dream come true. Please god, let this be true.

Granted, I'm not very regular in here anymore lately, but when did this Schürrle hate begin? And why? I don't get it..

right around the time I was voted the president of the Chelsea Player Hater fan club. I'm working on starting the Diego Costa hate. It'll be my toughest test as president

Haven't watched much at all this season but Rafa Honigstein termed his season so far as "Subotage". Probably tells you what you need to know.

No.

Ivanovic is a fucking nightmare defensively. Always goes walking, switching off defensively. Imagine having Reus or Alexis in front of him lol:

Hence why if we signed Reus then shifting Azpi to RB and having Luis at LB would be the only option. I think we wouldn't lose much defensively because we'd essentially be trading Willian and Brana for Luis and Reus. Not much of a step down defensively but a big step up offensively, IMO.

Chelsea to beat Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal to Marco Reus in Andre Schurrle swap deal

My brother is a huge Dortmund fan and I suggested this to him a few weeks ago (Schurrle +£10M for Reus) and he said that he reckons Dortmund would snap our hands off. They're essentially getting a great like-for-like replacement (not as good, but still) for essentially £10M, and then they have £10M extra cash to reinvest in getting a GK that isn't Weidenfeller.

[Viper22 2,418]

In this, you have a reason, but remember that they did something similar with Lewandowski. They preferred leave him go, without getting nothing money, that sell before and losing him for champions.

Yeah but the general consensus is that they regret that now. Doubt they'll make their fans go through that again.

Aren't Schurrle and Reus good friends? Don't think Reus would want to come here if he knew he would be forcing Schurrle out.

He's been poor. Well and truly dislodged by Sokratis. He's probably fallen behind Ginter too now. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go in one of the next 2 transfer windows.

Depends. It would probably help Schurrle's career playing week in, week out in an easier league. Reus might think like that?
