Mufassir08 2,400 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Surprised there is no thread about him,Anyway he's been linked with us recently. Chelsea are planning to make a €12m offer for Saint Etienne defender Kurt Zouma (RMC)http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8789142/Transfer-news-St-Etienne-defender-Kurt-Zouma-happy-to-be-linked-with-Chelsea-move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 "If you hear of interest from Chelsea and a great manager such as Jose Mourinho, you take notice," said Zouma."It makes you happy, and it means you are on the right way to the top."I am relaxed about all the fuss about me being linked with big clubs, at the moment my focus is on the Under-20 World Cup. We have to try to win that with our generation of good young players."he is a tank. him , varane and mangala will be frances main centre backs for years to come. you may worry about his age but we would have azpi 24 , luiz 26 and cole 30 something. and mourinho did a great job with varane from 18 years old and turned him into one of the best.

Duppy Conqueror 1,534 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'm starting to wonder if we are planning to play with a back 3 in the future with the number of centerbacks we have already got on our books and still reportedly chasing more.

Article - http://t.co/8VIj82wTdGOf course no one can dribble past him, he can just blast the ball from under their feet:Seriously though, I haven't seen him enough to judge, but when it comes to these "one-season wonders" I'd rather wait to see if he has a similar season next time around.

matheradam 4 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 another good young center back with a lot of potential, would be a much cheaper option than Mangala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Saw this guy at the U17 World Cup two years ago and he caught my eye. After that I haven't seen him play but judging by reports he was very good last season despite being only 18 and he was a regular the season before as well. Defenders rarely play this much at such an early age but this guy is a beast physically. Always nice to get these young players, especially if they're good enough to make an immediate impact, but is Zouma better than Omeruo who is already in our ranks? Sure, Omeruo could be sent on loan to a PL team next season if we got Zouma and then recalled when Terry goes or retires but if we're tight on money I'd say no to signing Zouma because he'd only be a luxury signing and not someone who's absolutely needed. If the money is there to be spent, then I'm all for signing this beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman2610 1,417 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 After being priced out on mangala I thought there would be more news on this signing, from what I have read aout him he seems to be the real deal even for someone so young. Anyone who has watched him play what do you think is playing style is? More of Terry or more like Luiz/Carvalho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Rather go for more experienced player if we go for a centre half, we have a young enough team as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,503 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Zouma has a very high ceiling, I'd take him over Kalas, Omerou.He could potentially be our starting CB for the next 10+ years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 So where does this leave Kalas and Omeruo?Zouma seems like a very promising player but we have two other full internationals who play in the same position who are one year older. What makes this egg any more suited to a Mourinho-led team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Just to let you guys know, he is banned until Feb for breaking someone's leg so this guy is not exactly 'nice' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Right now, Mangala would fit us better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
