Marco van Ginkel

Did we pay 6.7M for KDB?

I thought it was 5 flat

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), 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 when 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 stop 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.

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.

Don't think the price is right for Piazon, Wallace, Lukaku, and Oscar.

Lukaku was 13mil with potentially rising to 18

Yeah, could be! But we should be happy about the "Current Estimated Price". Although that section also seems a bit wrong!

all thanks to King Emenalo. Meh, the guy doing some good job

[Ollie 4,400]

Nice, he looks a real talent so great to get the deal sealed.

If our recent signings are anything to go by then of course they know what they're doing. Don't forget that it was Jose who persuaded him to sign as well.

It was just short of 9 M euro according to Genk . So 6.7M pounds makes sense

So we aren't building a team for the next season like PSG, City or others top teams do, but for a decade. I like that vision and with Mourinho at the lead, that's what we all wanted, stability !

Seems like Jose and Emenalo have a decent relationship. Schurrle and Van Ginkel were long-term targets before Jose and have been confirmed since his arrival. If Jose wasn't on board I'm sure neither player would be here but they are. Things are looking to be working very well behind the scenes which is pleasing.

I'll admit my knowledge on him is limited...

Is he gonna be in and around the first team, or you reckon we will send him back on loan?

MVG met Mourinho on Tuesday and the deal was confirmed today. It would seem likely that Mourinho has told him that he will play enough to convince him to make the move.

Another young signing though, another investment for long term which is great. And from what I can see he looks like quite a talent.

What a steal.

Indeed ... we are not building teams anymore but a fucking dynasty.
