IkE 267 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Agree over Essien/Mikel and the loanees. Though I think a Championship loan for Ake would be good too. However we look at it, that 12/13 needs to be whittled down to 6/7.In my personal Opinion Ake could be one of our best young players, but he need to feel the pain... So or train hard with us, or go to any team that will play almost all the games (preferable premier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 never seen him play so i will reserve my judgement about him.but as far as the board goes, this is a stupid move considering the type of youth players we already have. chalobah, ake, josh, romeu, kdb and not to forget even OSCAR. what we needed right now was a world class DM who good be head and shoulders above most people on the football field. de rossi would have been IDEAL. so in my opinion not a very good use of 8 mil (thats what i heard) as it does not solve any problems that we currently have.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Happy to see the deal finally done. I actually expect him to stay here and take some part with the first team instead of leaving on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Happy to see the deal finally done. I actually expect him to stay here and take some part with the first team instead of leaving on loan. If we play a 4-2-3-1 then i can definitely see him getting significant playing time but in a 4-3-3 i dont think he'll get much playing time.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Loan out Romeu and Josh, get in De Rossi or Kondogbia. Leaves us with Lampard, Mikel, Essien, Ramires, Van Ginkel, De Rossi/Kondogbia for the pivot with Oscar and KDB. Could potentially mean we're playing 4-3-3 as well, which isn't too bad. Squad already potentially looks a million times better than last season's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankit 3,176 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Who the hell has made this? Oscar has gone down???Got it off from twitter! Don't agree with Mata's price as well! You can't even get Mata's shoelaces for 40 million. We are talking about a world where Bale is hyped up to be 65 million plus. But the point is, board has done a fantastic job!

Jype 6,398 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Great signing. Personally I expect him to have a significant role, I don't think he would have joined otherwise.I like this new Chelsea. Only two years ago our squad had probably the highest average age among Europe's top clubs but now we've got a brilliant young squad.Feruz (16), Kalas (17), Piazon (17), Wallace (18), Lukaku (18), T. Hazard (19), Omeruo (19), Courtois (19), Romeu (19), De Bruyne (20), Oscar (20), Van Ginkel (20), E. Hazard (21), Moses (21), Azpilicueta (22), Schürrle (22), Mata (23), Luiz (23), Marin (23)All our young signing since 2011, inside the brackets their age at the time of the signing. Only Torres, Meireles and Demba Ba have been players older than 23 when they were signed. On top of that all that the homegrown talent (Chalobah, Ake etc.) and the future is looking very bright for the club, even if we stopped making any more big signing in the next couple of years, be it because of FFP or a new club policy or something else entirely.

Agree.Our squad is amazing and will be even more amazing in 2-3 years. People think we just buy like City or PSG, but the fact is that we're building a young solid foundation, and it's gonna blow minds soon enough.

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Hopefully the scouts know what they're doing, because you'd have to pay me to watch the dutch league too.. Monaco signed João-fucking-Moutinho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we should be happy about the "Current Estimated Price". Although that section also seems a bit wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
