André Schürrle

[Special Juan 27,429]

Didnt impress me at all during pre season, hope he is saving his best for the start of the season

He's a massive upgrade on Marin and Benayoun, that in itself improves our squad vastly.

Missed an open-goal sitter in the 96th minute to win the game for Germany last night. Which is weird because I didn't even know he was on the field until he missed that

I really like what Adidas did with those pics. I'm tempted to use one of them as a sig just because they're damn perfect aesthetically!

[The Skipper 20,593]

He was never likely to be the explosive type like Hazard. He is someone who occasionally scores an out of this world goal. Think of him like Mata but a bit worse. Actually he might play a similar role to us like when Yossi did for Liverpool a few years ago. Coming off the bench as an impact sub or start some occasion game but never going to be a mainstay.

Lol, you haven't seen Schurrle play at all if you think he's anything like Mata.

He is very explosive, just wasn't fit enough during pre season.

[Mceachran 109]

I'm so afraid he will be this season's Marin.

His style is very similar to Mata. He is not the flashy type, just someone who likes to get the ball, dribble and shot.

If you think Mata is a player that likes to dribble and then shoot then I must wonder if you actually watched Chelsea at all last season but then again I'm not surprised seeing as you have said strange things before.

To say Mata and Schurrle have a similar playing style is mind boggling. One of the strangest things I've ever heard.

When did you see Mata dribble and shoot? I thought he collects the ball, then finds a player making a run and put in an orgasmic ball. Dribble and shoot? Not really, mate!!

Schurrle has alot of work to do. Hopefully he justifies his price tag and proves that he's better than Marin.

[Term-X 7,891]

He certainly put a lot of effort into branding himself, have you seen his official site?..

I think it's time for you to put the xbox controller down, and start 'watching' football matches.

[meetdoscar 335]

I think he would do ok plus he doesn't look out of place as marin was.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

I have a feeling his gonna be used more as a striker this season after that Willian signing

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Schurrle sings on Chelsea TV!

You now have to give serious considerations to the possibility of Schurrle being turned into a striker.

Jose did say we had a Plan B when asked about Willian. One would presume, that means Schurrle to be instead used as a striker to make room for Willian?

that's what I said in the Willian thread.

If Willian comes I think there's a possibility for us to play with André as a false 9 or just as a striker. He has the tools to do both I just feel like he's going to take a while to adapt - as expected - but yeah, he could be moving more and more forward as time goes.

To this day I'm still feeling sorry for the chip against Hull that was just above the goal. Poor thing.

I want to believe Roman, Mou and the board actually have a plan other than demoralize and make Spurs look like idiots.

No need for a false 9. I think he has the tools to become an out and out striker. He's got great shooting technique. Can dribble and a good first touch as well. Pace and a decent enough finish. And he's only 22. And most of all excellent movement as well.

Even though I agree about Schurrle having the ability to become an out and out striker...we still need a quality centre-forward to lead the line.

Lukaku has all the ability but he's still raw...same with Schurrle...which leaves us with Torres as our main striker..and that is a major concern.
