Kevin-Prince Boateng

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

lol our defense would suck imagine Oscar vs Yaya XD

Oscar's future with Chelsea lies in center midfield. That is all.

[Jusek 2,031]

Nope, does not need him. We need a central midfielder. Enough with am

[The Mak 4,459]

Boateng gives nothing in return to replace Ramires, because Boateng would be more of the same thing we already have with De Bruyne!

Ramires gives us that pace for counters and incredible work-rate and stamina not many midfielders have nowadays. Yes, he is a bit sloppy, but he is still a very important player to have in our squad because he gives the team a new dimension whenever needed.

Prince will be a versatile midfielder who can play out wide and on the pivot as well. But all if this is very similiar to a certain player loaned out to Bundesliga and that has a contract with Chelsea.

However, I much prefer keeping both Rambo and KDB than to invest 15mi (which can mean a new CB or DM) to go and get Boateng...

Thank you! Whay I was trying to say but more eloquently put.

This is my last post in this topic.

For people saying he will 'add-depth' or is a 'versatile player', what happens to our current squad when, say, the likes of De Rossi/Schurrle arrive or we decide to develop de Bruyne or even Aké? What happens is that the likes of Mikel, Lampard and Ramires (our most versatile player by the way) drop to the bench and, therefore, our bench becomes stronger.

If we actually try to address our most important needs as a squad, e.g. DLP/DM etc. instead of buying random players, our bench naturally becomes stronger, adding 'depth'. If done right, next season's bench can consist of some of last season's first team, which doesn't sound too bad at all.

Not to mention KPB is a cunt.

Fin.

If we are indeed linked with him, where will he play? I won't pretend to be an "expert" in Italian football because I don't watch it all that often, unless there's a Serie A game on ESPN and I'm bored out my tits. Does he/can he operate on the wing? Because I think we have enough CMs...

However despite all that I genuinely think that his name is just being flung around and mentioned alongside Chelsea to raise his price.

THIS!

I must be watching a different Serie A than you, mate!

He's a decent player on his day but is incredibly inconsistent. He relies on his pace bursting forward and his stamina to keep running. But technically and tactically he is very weak.

Kevin Prince Boateng is such an average player. His game is mainly based on stamina and energy and take that out of his game, he's pretty much poor. The players we have now can provide what KPB gives and more. Will be a waste of space and a needless signing especially when he's not the type of midfielder we need!

[King11Didier 916]

For me Chelsea don't need him.He made very good last season,but that season he is awful.I haven't watched his game this season,maybe 4,5 but I heard that from Milan fans.And we have enough players on this posistion where he play.And in the end I don't like him at all after he injured Ballack.So he can look elswhere and hope rumours aren't true.

he is technically well gifted and has a great shot. he can pass, shoot, nearly everything. and efen defensive-wise he aint bad too. for 15 m we should consider, even though he aint that creative-type we mabye would need.

as I already said, he often plays as a CM for Milan and did play in a double pivot for ghana, where he was amazing.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

KPB is a CM, in Milan he played mostly as a AM because they havent found their new traquista but that doesnt change the fact he's a CM.

I like him, i think he could be a very good squad player, but i dont know what Jose's plans are, i mean i dont think he should be the starter CM because i want a DLP in this position.... we shall see.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,183]

didn't he use to play for Portsmouth?

[Leif 6,006]

It really is unfair to say he's had a 'bad' season when you take into account he's played as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, winger, trequartista and false-9.

He hasn't been 'exposed' this season. He's been 'misused'.

Not every player we sign can be a 21 year old 'Next Ronaldo/Beckenbauer/Zidane'

I've convinced myself though so I won't try force my opinion on others like in the Schurrle thread.

If we do indeed have real interest I trust Jose with this particular deal and will try hide my joy if it goes through.

One post: "Boateng is lazy!!!!"

Next post: "Boateng's game is all about his work rate and stamina."

This is the case with over half the players we're linked to. People comment without watching the player.

Thank you for your wondrous insight. I'm sure it will benefit the discussion a lot...

Just because other say different things from one another, or rather say something different from you, you just jumped the gun and accused these people of not watching the player?!

The rumor is just another one of the many BS rumors Palmeri is starting on a daily basis.

KPB is technically weak? I mean he hasn't had the best of seasons last year but to say he's technically weak is something else. On his day he's very clearly one of the best in the Serie A in my opinion.

Like I said I don't want him here because we don't need him in our squad but he's world class on his day. I agree he's inconsistent but to say he's just a decent player is massively underrating him.

Seriously, if we are gonna spend 15m on a player that will add nothing significant and improve our squad, would much rather see us give chances to someone like Ake.

[The Skipper 20,609]

I'm laughing at how people think he offers nothing but stamina and pace... He was a beast as a number 10 when he had Ibra and Robinho with him. You don't play number 10 if all you offer is "stamina" and "pace".

[Sheva. 5,373]

Are you describing Prince or Ramires?

[The Skipper 20,609]

Why the hell are people comparing KPB to Ake? What am I missing here? It's like comparing Romeu to Mata. Ridiculous.
