James 5,331 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Chelsea are set to beat Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund to the signature of German U-17 international Julian Brandt, reports The Daily Star.Brandt, 17, who currently plays for German side Wolfsburg in the Bundsliga, has recently rejected a new long term contract extension to stay at the Volkswagen Arena, but has decided to honour his current contract which expires at the end of this season, where he will then be a free agent.“Julian Brandt has turned down the offer to sign a new contract with VfL Wolfsburg,” a Wolfsburg spokesperson told Deutsche Presseagentur.“As he is out of contract at the end of the campaign, Julian Brandt will therefore depart from VfL Wolfsburg.”If Mourinho were to sign the young striker, Brandt will be the fifth German to represent The Blues after, Robert Huth, Michael Ballack, Marko Marin and André Schürrle.Click here to view the article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 This looks really likely to happen. Always good to have more young talent in the squad...and more Germans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Most importantly can he play in the pivot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Can't I like both? They're not exactly mutually exclusive. Of course, you may. Just like me. I enjoy watching samba dancers while I am eating knackwursts with a cup of English tea on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,509 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Not sure why we need more youngsters...particularly in the attacking positions.If we are looking to sign youngsters, our main priority should be Luke Shaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Not sure why we need more youngsters...particularly in the attacking positions.If we are looking to sign youngsters, our main priority should be Luke Shaw.Signing a younth team striker for free isn't really the same type of transfer as a £20 million purchase of a left-back who would be expecting first-team action from the get-go. I agree we should get Shaw but highly-rate young Germans are usually a decent investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucio 5,418 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 a striker? i heard he was a winger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Surely we can sell him for more than he costs us, so why not. I am sure a Bundesliga club will pay a a decent amount for him once he has played a couple of years in Arnheim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,448 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Tbh, these days I hardly get any amount of excitement when Chelsea go after a new youngster for the team. Especially after Eddie Newton basically confirmed that most youngsters are groomed so that they could be sold for a profit. Its good business, but hardly exciting stuff as it does nothing for the first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Have you seen him play?Once, he played in an U19 international game, but I don't remember his performance, which at least means it wasn't that impressive. He looks like a decent player, A signing in the ink of BAmford. I hear he has been really prolific in the A-Jugend Bundesliga but that does not necessarily mean anything. I actually don't see him breaking through but 17year olds who have shown less talent then him have, so what do we now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 a striker? i heard he was a wingerSame but I suppose most German wingers are more than capable of playing as forwards in some capacity like Muller, Schurrle, Podolski, Reus etc. Anyway has he played any first team football with Wolfsburg?
