Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Good player. I'm glad we'll get him (probably). But I just wish we dont sell KDB...Game vs ManU showed that we really could use a player like KDB. With him, we could rotate one of Oscar, Hazard, mata without having too much of a downgrade. On the other hand, I doubt KDB could do with as many games as Moses got this season. When he joined us, Moses knew, he would probably never explore his whole potential and will be a bit-part player his entire Chelsea career, with maybe one season as regular starter such as Malouda. KDB is an immense talent, and surely will expect to become a great player. he won't become that at chelsea. At least not in a 4-2-3-1. It's a little bit different with andre Schürrle. he fits better in our system, is already a bit more accomplished than KDB and he will be ok with the amount of playing time he will get. He has been a killer joker, scoring a goal almost every sub-appearance. He does not need any minimum of time to fit in. I think that pretty much plays a role in case we decide to swap KDB for Schürrle. IMO KDB has greater talent, but Schürrle is by far the safer bet.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hmmmm I don't know. Just not convinced with this guy. So many better right wingers out there. I can't get past the perception of this guy being Mediocre. Plus these ridiculous prices for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuvala 2,167 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I do think this is a good buy.. this guy seems like a good prospect.Just wish he was a RW not a LW and had a strong left foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Look at this way, he is on the bench, we look to make a sub he comes on for Oscar/Hazard/Mata other than Yossi Benayoun.Now that's the difference, not only miles apart in ability and what they can offer but all of a sudden our options look really good and the Mata, Hazard's and Oscar's can be allowed to rest when needed but at the same time replaced by quality.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 He cost very for much for the skills he has!We paid almost as much for Lukaku, who was way less skilled back then (probably still is). we do not only buy the player and his skills, we buy his potential, too. He is only 22, his future is bright. I'd have looked to other, faster, more out&out wingers, too, but this is not a bad deal at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Might just try to buy Lacazette. He is having good season and contributes lot to the team, he often makes great decisions, either shooting or crossing/passing. Surprised he wasnt called up for NT yet...

DDA 9,941 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 At first I was too skeptical about signing this guy but the more I watch him the more I see why we are interested. He is young, quick and German. Every team needs their very own German, they reinforce an industrious, die harrd attitude to the team. I know the price tag seems steap but people are mostly judging the price because these very same people think every player has to do a thousand step overs and run like they are have a firework lit up their ass to be worth anything around the 20mill + mark.

bushman 2,043 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The main reason why Chelsea should sign Andre.Finishing capability.He is a precise finisher. He mainly plays in the wing but he can move towards the box too.Chelsea depends on the mid-fielders than the strikers, will benefit immensely from these qualities of the player, I feel.At times Oscar looked ordinary & this is where Schurrle would provide an alternative to the team.At 22 he already has got over 4 years of experience of top flight football for Germany.

I can't get past the perception of this guy being Mediocre. Plus these ridiculous prices for him.Just because he's not a hazard doesn't mean he's a bad player.Where not buying him because we want a player with flair, where buying him for rotation, he's someone who chases the ball and gets stuck in, something what the Mazacar aren't so good at doing.I think it's a clever move, I thought the board lost the plot when we wanted Willian aswell, thank god they actually have some sense.

bushman 2,043 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Everything, what I have read so far indicates, he is a buy.Apparently, he pushes it hard to join Chelsea. So, he wants to play for the club which always helps the matter.Also, I like the fact he is a German. German league is not too soft & Chelsea needs tougher players.Enough of samba boys & their joggling techniques. Bulk up the team with toughness.Do you remember Ballack ? I thought he was great in his hay days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
