Christian Atsu

[Leif 6,006]

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.

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

It's the revolutionary 0-10-0 formation.

With 5 on each wing and no one in the center..

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.

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.

Yes Blue. You got it. An abundance of wingers, flying high, who knows what he brings to the club ?

Because 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.

I see what Jose is driving at... below shows a possible line-up against Bayern on Friday...

I'd put Luiz in midfield though

[Mceachran 109]

trust me on it.

oh OK, got it.

[bushman 2,043]

oh OK, got it.

Don´t drink too much though.

Don´t drink too much though.

I drink enough to stay snarky and pretentious.

Then take it easy, relax & stay calm.

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."
