The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 But in general, i am against this trend to sign young players as back ups. When Mourinho bought Sahin, he sacrificed his carreer and did nothing for Real madrid + you always overpay cos they are young. Experienced players are cheaper and contribute more and faster. It's different with Schurrle because we don't have a player like him in the squad. What Schurrle offers is tactical flexibility for Mourinho, he can switch up games due to the nature of his attributes. Sahin required to be the main playmaker in the team and you don't need that with Schurrle so he's a lot more flexible in that sense - Sahin's situation is not really comparable IMO.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Don't forget age - he's only 22 And if anybody can make this guy great it's Jose Him, Zlatan and a DM would be a good summer maybe in throw in a Rooney too (cover for Mata) - then we'd be set for the EPL Yes, like Jose did with Sahin and so many other young players. Age is the problem. He won't develop that much cos he won't play much. I'd rather have an experienced player. Rooney and Zlatan won't come. you do not pay those wages for declining players with diva attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes, like Jose did with Sahin and so many other young players. Age is the problem. He won't develop that much cos he won't play much. I'd rather have an experienced player. Rooney and Zlatan won't come. you do not pay those wages for declining players with diva attitude. Well Mourinho talked about young players in his interview. So I think he wants to build something for long term like saf did. The you don't win nothing with kids quote comes to my mind. Saf did it and I think Mourinho wants that challenge as well. This is why he said he was not going to go crazy spending on players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes, like Jose did with Sahin and so many other young players. Age is the problem. He won't develop that much cos he won't play much. I'd rather have an experienced player. Rooney and Zlatan won't come. you do not pay those wages for declining players with diva attitude. sahin was injured most of the ime, so jose couldnt do anything. also he loaned him out to pool, where he sucked too. was rather a problem of sahin than of mouschürrle i think could develop...he has the ability. he needs to improve his passing-game yes, but basically, he has everything you need.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 One thing I will say about Schurrle though is he might be the best player on FIFA. He's like a more agile Ronaldo on this game lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguelito 459 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 not sure if this quote is real, but he said this according to ESPN: Mourinho coached the World XI team that Schurrle played in, and afterwards the player told MDR: "Of course I talked to him. He is my coach after all."http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/210642.html?CMP=chromeits at the bottom of the article. i would be really surprised if this didnt go throughEdit: It is misleading, atleast for me it was. I believe he was talking about how mourinho was his coach on the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Well at least 20 million Euros is a decent fee. We've adressed the winger issue. 2 more to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 'Meh' pretty much sums up my feelings on this transfer.You hit the nail on the head.I still think we could have searched for better options else-where, but its already done. Glad we kept KDB as i think we can focus on other areas of the pitch to strengthen now (DM, CB, CM) And our attacking three look set in my eyes with: Hazard/Schurrle--Mata/Oscar (as i see his main position as CM)--KDB/MosesSchurrle's gotta work on his finishing and decision making big time otherwise fans will be all over him like they were on Danny Boy. (sturridge) Being a hard worker is great and all but even that can only go so far in endearing him to the fans. Hazard and Oscar (especially the later) put in good shifts defensively while still being a threat offensively, Schurrle does well working for the team but going forward well.....its hit or miss....mostly miss.

Strike 7,489 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 This talk of the Schurrle deal NOT involving de Bruyne is fantastic!http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2013/6/5/4399838/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-2013-andre-schurrle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,941 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 People will be surprised when Schurrle joins and see how he fits into our squad. It's a decent no thrills signing that will strengthen our team and give us options. Options is what we lacked last season and under Mourinhos guidance he can only get better!
