Toli 977 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 See if you can Google it. he has been linked with the Spurs.tons of players have been linked with them. if they wanted him, they would have snapped him up already. lamela is clearly their no 1 target now. also todays papers are reporting they want eriksen from ajax.ps: ok if these atsu reports are true than I am sorry. but if we really just buy this players to deny Spurs, we are plain dumb. hopefully our board and mourinho arent thinking like small kids and buying players just so others dont get them. if yes than maybe they should rethink what they are doing. in the end we are damaging ourselves while investing in positions we have enough players in.

They are doing just fine. There is no harm in buying young players, loaning them out for the future, trust me on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Do people just skim past the posts which suggest it's purely a business deal before posting things like "Why would we want him?" This transfer has nothing to do with our current first team. Absolutely nothing.If the rumour is true and he's available for under £5m, you can bet the loads of other top clubs in the world are in talks or at least have been in talks with his agent(s) and Porto too. You just can't not sign him for that cheap otherwise you look like a foolish club. He'll leave for at least triple that figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediator 2,026 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I don't deny the fact that this is good business for Chelsea, but this guy is stupid, why signing for Chelsea and never play for them... ? To get better loans?He will have the same kind of career than Kakuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It's the revolutionary 0-10-0 formation. With 5 on each wing and no one in the center.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,144 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Is this guy actually trying to ruin his career before it has even started? It makes no sense. There are several other teams he can surely join or if not stay at Porto until another suitable offer is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I think this move was not made to improve the team but purely a financial one. He will cost £3m because he is into his last year of his contract and I am sure he is worth at least £5-£10m if he still had a few years left in his contract.

To get better loans?He will have the same kind of career than KakutaBecause just being associated with a big club helps with not only promotion, but wages.He plays his cards rights and he is easily set for life with the wages players get now.

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 He was at the training ground yesterday and said goodbye to his Porto teammates. He'll fly to London for a medical."Há alguns pormenores que os clubes ainda estão a resolver, mas creio que nas próximas horas tudo será oficializado". Tony Appiah, his agent"There are some details yet to be resolved by the two clubs, but everything will be official in the next few hours."
