Please no KDB loaned or sold,please emenalo!!!!

[Behemoth 266]

I was watching some YouTube clips on him and it seems like the majority of his goals are from the outside.. very powerful shot.

For 20 million, Fuck no!. Honestly nothing special at all. Would prefer what we already have.

I agree with you on the price, 20 million seems a bit much at first. However, Schürrle is a really good player who's very different to what we already have and he would provide depth both on the wings and up front. I consider those positions along with the midfield to be the areas where our team is clearly lacking both in depth and quality at the moment so getting a player like Schürrle would be killing two birds with one stone. Two proper strikers (out of Ba / Lukaku / Torres / someone new) as well as Schürrle would be considered great depth and for the positions behind the front man there would be Hazard, Mata, Oscar, De Bruyne, Schürrle and Moses, once again more than enough depth and quality to compete on multiple fronts. With that bunch of players, things would work out even if the new manager decided to mix things up little and deploy a 4-3-3 or something, as KdB and Oscar could easily play CM in a three man midfield.

That list may seem like too much players when you first think about it but effectively it's only two more to what we currently have and we have been in desperate need of more players this season, it's ridiculous how players like Benayoun get played week-in, week-out whenever Mata or Hazard need rest. With a couple more quality options up there, everyone would be better off. This season the lack of options on the bench turned out to be one of the main reasons for our downfall, simply put it there is no one capable of turning things around if Mata and the boys are having and off day.

All in all, considering his quality and versatility, Schürrle wouldn't really be that expensive, now would he? Hell, we paid £18m combined for Moses and Marin and what did we get in return? Absolutely fuck all.

"Schürrle update. Chelsea have now submitted a second, improved offer (€22m + bonus) in case De Bruyne opts out. Ball in Leverkusen's court"

That was Raphael Honigstein (@honigstein) on Twitter

edit: He also added this - "it's "take it or leave it" - no more negotiations"

Fucking take it Schurrle, you won't get a better fan than me c:

Leverkusen should accept first

[Backstreet09 499]

Leverkusen should accept first

I know, I'm saying he could force them to make this deal go through.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Tell me he can honestly play on the flanks without compromising our defensive system (remember that Hazard and Mata arent exactly work horses) that I accept him here...

What would torres do if you start cheating on him with Schurrle?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Why is there talk of KDB leaving... Where is that all coming from. He hasn't even been here yet.

[Backstreet09 499]

What would torres do if you start cheating on him with Schurrle?

Torres won't be here next season, so I don't think it'd cause any problem. But if stalkerazzi published our love affair in the news papers and spread it all over the internet. Torres won't feel any jealousy, you know why? It's fucking bromance . Brozzz don't get jealous xD #betterlovestorythantwilight

I wonder what will happen if Schurrle signs and de Bruyne stays. Problem of plenty is better than lack of depth i guess

There's no such thing as problem of plenty, I could bet, even mata and hazard would be happy to see some games on the bench.

[Stats 7,142]

Schurrle provides something useful that Moses, Mata, Hazard or Oscar cannot offer. His shooting outside the box is brilliant and we may need that type of game changing player who can hit a shot from distance and blast it into the net. Sometimes we have struggled to score this season because our play is too much passing and there is not that many capable long shooters apart from Lamps. Having another player like that who can cut inside and unleash a shot would be useful. Happy the club is pursuing this transfer for many reasons.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

£20million makes me cringe. That being said, I haven't seen much of Schurrle to even begin to see reason why it would/wouldn't be a prudent investment. Squad depth is necessary however, so a player in that position, with that versatility can't be bad?

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I am so relieved that its looks like KDB wont be involved in this deal at all.Just one problem though if schurrle comes we have KDB,schurrle,oscar,moses,hazard and mata for the band of three so it would kill the chances of piazon to become a part of the squad.

[Leif 6,006]

it would kill the chances of piazon to become a part of the squad.

Why is that a problem though? All the players you mentioned are clearly superior to him currently. If he's good enough, he'll play. If he's not good enough, there's no reason why anyone should want him to play.

He has been good for malaga so he naturally should get a chance over here.

[Leif 6,006]

He has been good for malaga so he naturally should get a chance over here.

Schurrle has been a regular in the Champions League in a team fighting for the Bundesliga title for the past few seasons (or at least doing better than the other teams at doing so). Piazon has 4 starts for Malaga, a team who can play who they want in the league as their standing will now only be pride as they can't play in Europe next season.

So based on that, Schurrle >>> Piazon.

If we're to judge just Piazon himself though, 4 starts (5 sub appearances) in the league for a team who don't need to win nor lose games with 0 goals and not many more assists hardly cries out for a chance here.

Where would he play? He's certainly no playmaker so I don't think behind the striker would work, and he's not a winger either. Unless we change to a system where he's a proper supporting striker, he can't play how he wants.

Anyone who gets their chances ahead of Piazon either deserves it (De Bruyne, Lukaku) or is simply the better player (Schurrle).
