Yep, that means exactly what I wrote. You're the one who's reading it wrong.

25(4) means 25 starts and four sub appereances, not 25 total with four of them off the bench. If you'd played FM, you would kow this. :P

LOL It's different on FIFA :P

Also both named Kevin so it's not really helping. :o

I can see commentators making a mess of this if they play together.

"That was a great shot by Kevin De boateng, I mean Kevin Prince Bruyne, what the hell am I saying?"

Jose Mourinho: "KP Boateng to Chelsea? We want footballers, not models. Last year he had more haircuts than goals scored."

I know it's fake but why do all transfer quotes start with

"This player to this club, question mark"

"Cavani to Chelsea? Bla Bla Bla"

"Schurrle to Chelsea? Bla Bla Bla"

"Neymar to Barcelona? Bla Bla Bla"

"Bale to Madrid? Bla Bla Bla"

I'm confident that regardless whether the club do or don't actually want him that his wage demands will be too high. The club would probably want to spend £60k per week on him at most but he'll likely demand something more like £70k - £85k, especially when you consider the fact we are indeed Chelsea and have had a record of overpaying players in the past.

I remember he had a long contract dispute with Milan last season (I think). He was on around £40k a week and was demanding close to £80k a week. The proposal was rejected by Milan.

After talks with our Chelsea reps today his agent is now off to Portugal where Jose currently is to speak directly with him to get an understanding of what Boateng's role would be here if he were to sign.

Well, the good news is Chelsea are trying to add a bit of steel to the midfield. Last week there was talk of de Rossi, this week KPB. Most of us would prefer de Rossi but I can only imagine he wants to stay at Roma if Chelsea have jumped to Boateng

So looks like this deal could well happen. On a personal level I'm not holding a grudge on him for Ballack like many Chelsea fans but I'm not quite sure what he'd bring to the team. I'm under the impression he's best playing behind the striker but that's the only position where we really are stacked as it is. How's he in a deeper role?

If we're really getting him, maybe we could try negotiate a part-exchange deal involving Essien going to Milan? They've been interested in him before.

I think it'd take him time to adjust to a central role again. I believe it's his preferred position, but by 'central' I do mean in a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2; not as deep as he'd play in a 4-2-3-1. I'm not sure how he'd adapt to such a deep role.

I have faith that he'll be able to do it though with Jose's guidance. He's not had many if any major injuries in recent times so he'll still be that steel powerhouse, so any lack of tackling or interception ability should in theory be made up for with brute force and tenacity in his hassling of opponents.

I've mentioned this comparison before and it does sound odd considering Boateng has played far further forward, but his qualities really are just like Essien of old - only not as refined, consistent or simply as good - which is understandable since Essien is one of the G.O.A.T box-to-box midfielders.
