Waterfall 893 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Certainly, Zouma will be a great signing. However, shouldn´t Jose look for someone who could score goals now, instead ?He said we are looking at the bigger picture rather than just this season. We'll probably sign a striker in the summer when there will be more better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Kurt Zouma on loan to Middlesbrough, would probably happen when hell freezes over. Inter Milan, Monaco, Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea all wanted him, hardly going to go to Middlesbrough haha.Yep, you're right, but as you know, football in the UK is kinda different from the other leagues and since this is a mid season transfer I was thinking maybe Jose wants to have him here and get the kid used to this type of football with a loan to another team. 5-6 months on loan just to get him used to the weather, atmosphere, stadiums, pitch, style of play etc. before bringing him to the first squad. But now I've heard the deal is as good as done and he'll stay in France until the end of the season. Anyway, good piece of business from CFC, Zouma is such a wonderful talent.

bababoom 4,478 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Perfect, very happy we got him now so in the summer we only NEED to buy two players, Striker and a left back. Most likely Shaw and Costa. I would love for us to buy a Left back now though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AswinR 96 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 He doesn't look like these new center backs who can play ball. i.e: pass/build from backLooks like your old school center back who is strong and good in the air; not sure he would fit the system here because he's not technically gifted. as Jose said; we want to play from the back.mourinho says lot of shit... he like to play mind games and he is the best at it... but mourinho always like to play with a solid reliable good in the air CB's .... and we are kinda playing from the back now.....just not AVB styleexpect to see cahill/ivanovic partnering zouma/terry combo for next year....the only question is what is going to happen to luiz.?

Obviously that will be £20m+, so it's not a certainty anyone will pay that which might mean he stays. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/transfer-news-chelsea-agree-fee-with-saint-etienne-for-kurt-zouma--reports-9096788.htmlhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2548790/Chelsea-agree-12-5m-fee-St-Etienne-wonderkid-Kurt-Zouma-defender-set-stay-France-rest-season.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenIsLegend 475 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If we get Zouma I predict Luiz would be off in the summer. Let him have a good WC to increase his price then let him go to the highest bidder more than likely Barca or Bayern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jose would've sold him this month if he had the option, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
