And CHOULO19 regarding your response to my prior post - all the power to you for watching every single game Guarin has played for Inter. I normally follow the Serie A closely but haven't managed to watch much of inter this season, so I'll just have to defer to your knowledge. :) I am however curious though as to how you could have thought Guarin is a natural attacking midfielder? That's just as bizarre as calling Lampard a natural defensive midfielder or Oscar a natural winger, or Torres a natural striker. You also claim that Guarin is horrible at dribbling even though he's among the top when it comes to successful dribbles made in the serie a. You SURE it's inter you've been watching? Might want to call up your mate and double check on that....

Ah, leave Choulo be. He's just suspicious of every DM/CM expect ones that begin with 'M', end in 'L' and rhymes with 'Jikel'.

:Goober:

Are there more options available? Not calling you out, I'm just curious.

Imo it's a good deal because as I said before, he won't solve our problems but he'll ensure we don't completely sabotage the rest of the season by not reinforcing the midfield at all.

What about Schniederline? Cabaye? Mrrison? What about some other CMs from the Serie A who are also not cup-tied (although I don't imagine that is something of great importance to Jose and the Chelsea board as the main concern is the league)? Players like Pjanic? Ilicic? If we want to do business with Inter then why not get their best CM and one of the most promising young play makers in Europe: Kovasic. I'm sure you'll find the Inter fans reaction to be much stronger if we are linked with him instead of Guarin.

Just to get things straight here. Adding Fredy is just another attacking midfielder to the mix. Any more of the same coming ?

Fredy isn't an attacking midfielder. He is a box to box midfielder. He was very promising when joining Inter but hasn't been very good there at all. He is greedy with no vision but he can tackle and intercept very wel. This deal makes sense because he is fairly cheap and not cup tied for the Champions League. A quick fix solution untill the summer.

I count the most advanced central midfielder as an attacking midfielder like Lampard, Oscar..ect and Guarin. The reason for Guarin having so many successful dribbles is that he usually is the one who takes the ball forward for Inter (due to the lack of creativity they have in the middle. That is also part of why Inter fans want Kovasic to start in his place) but that does not make him a good dribbler. He loses the ball way too often while dribbling and that is in Italy where most teams don't press in midfield, imagine what would happen in the EPL!

15m is cheap for a full International central midfielder with experience at a big club. This is a price being placed during a commonly inflated January transfer market I might add!

In a sense I suppose, but with FFP around we can't just simply throwing money around anymore though, the day when £15m was a lot...

Gianluca Di Marzio, who broke the story, is reporting the fee to be 15 million euros (12 mill pounds) plus bonuses. http://www.gianlucadimarzio.com/calciomercato/inters-guarin-between-man-united-and-chelsea/

Really doubtful seeing they signed him from Porto for around 13m euros. Doubt they want to make a loss especially with him being one of their best player atm

They signed him for 11 million euros and selling him (a year later) for 15 million euros (plus bonuses). How's that a loss?

Does this means no more Witsel or other world class CM?

Witsel would cost at least £35 million in January IF we could get him from Zenit which is unlikely when they still have CL football. After the season ends then there's a better chance of signing a top class midfielder at a decent price.

On a slightly less serious note, this guy apparently has the third highest combined attribute rating on FIFA 14 behind only Ronaldo and Bale.

May I point out, Jose has picked him. Therefore, get ready for the bus depot, soon.

So you spoke with Jose, that's how you know?

Only gazzete and sky italia told.this story which I believe is pure fiction..but we will see soon...
