Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 There are a few reasons why i hope this is true. First and foremost is EDEN HAZARD! For him to reach his full potential we need someone behind him with experience and attacking nous. Someone that has the ability to take away some of the defensive responsibility Eden has been charged with this season. Luis is precisely that player, he will get forward, he will defend and is a cool enough of a head that he won't be overwhelmed by the extra defensive commitment.The second reason is Diego Costa, we need a player or two who know his game and can get him the ball where he likes it. He's not an AM but from wide areas he is the type of player who can deliver the ball where Diego can attack it. They know each other and to me that could be key to Costa hitting the ground running as opposed to stumbling in the early going. Chemistry is So So important.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Our striker needed much more support from fullbacks and creative midfielder. No point saying Torres would score more, because he misses open nets, but strikers in general werent given enough balls IMO. Luis and Cesc will be brought exactly because of that. If everything links well, we will have great counter attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I don't get you guys, why would you pass up on a La Liga champion and UCL finalist just to have someone like Blind instead? Just because he's had one good game in his entire season and Filipe is "old" at 29? For Christ's sake, it's 29, not 85, you don't die at 29. The guy is in his prime, one of the best left-backs in the world, he will guarantee you at least two or three top seasons.Blind is such a liablity at LB that even de Boer changed his position and played him as a defensive midfielder for the entire season. He's had a good game against Spain. So what? That doesn't make him the ultimate left-back out there. Comparing Filipe Luis to this guy is just silly. It's like comparing Ash to, I don't know, some fucking bellend Assou EkottoHyping players based on international games is the biggest mistake ever.Mathieu Debuchy says hi..

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Mathieu Debuchy says hi..Debuchy has never and ever been as good as Luis, I don't get it. Do you compare Debuchy to Shaw or Luis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Blind is such a liablity at LB that even de Boer changed his position and played him as a defensive midfielder for the entire season.

Blind is not a liability at left back. FDB did not change him into a CDM because he was being poor at LB... He's actually been very good there for some time now. Because he's a versatile, well rounded player, FDB decided to make him the lynchpin of his Ajax side at CDM... He still played at left back more than a handful of times last season.Blind a liability at LB... . I'm not advocating that we should sign Blind over Luis but come on, you don't have to make stuff up.

I respect your opinion because you should know him better, being Dutch and all this stuff, but I was only sharing my point of view regarding this player.Still, he isnt' Chelsea material in my eyes and nowhere near as good as Filipe Luis, Ricardo Rodriguez, Shaw, Alberto Moreno, Alaba, Alex Sandro etc. That was my point - there's no reason why Chelsea fans should look into him when there are better players out there. He's just an updated version of PvA IMO. I can't see him leave Ajax for more than €7-8m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PVA is better at going forward than he is, whilst he is defensively a lot better than Patrick. Merely stated that he would be a good signing IMO because he's a very versatile, great utility player - especially if we got shot of more midfielders. Wouldn't buy him as a starting LB though.

It will be done when its done, I mean all the build up from his agent coming out and speaking about our interest then Atleti signing a good LB as a replacement does that not point to something?
