Matterz 67 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Very solid buy here, I remember watching the home game vs Athletico and being ridiculously impressed with the long haired left back. Glad he's gonna be in blue this season!I think that is just it, he is solid. He is not going to be barging forward in the attacking sense, like some other LB's, but he is very good defensively and very consistent, which is exactly what is needed to win a league in my opinion.

The Chels 2,502 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 From Rob Beasley, the journalist with close links to Chelsea who broke the story: £15m is a good deal. If it rises to £20m it means he'll have helped us win trophies so who would care about an extra £5m in that case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Haven't seen it here, but 9 mins vid i just saw of him: He'll really help against parked buses, if he can get in the box like that and create chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara 15,149 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Even if he was I'd prefer someone with different qualities.exactly my thoughts.If we have Costa keeping Lukaku makes no sense and if he's willing to be sold instead of loaned again, so sell him. I don't feel this is a Daniel Sturridge case. Costa and Lukaku are the same striker, Costa is only 25, so there's no point of keeping Lukaku unless Costa ends up being a completely flop - Torres' levels, but we have all agreed that's not quite likely (not to say possible).We need a technical striker, someone like Eto'o. I don't know if Eto'o is leaving because of the little spat with José, because the board doesn't want or because he doesn't want, but he'd be perfect to stay. He offers something else, I think he helped Hazard a lot this season, helped his development. That's the kind of striker we need as a #2. Having a carbon copy of Costa doesn't give us options.

Having a carbon copy of Costa doesn't give us options.Exactly, we need different options. The idea that in a game where Costa is ineffective we can replace him with Lukaku makes me cringe. I can't think of a single thing that Lukaku brings to the table that Costa doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I forgot what an attacking fullback looks like. I miss those link up and bombing overlapping runs we last saw on a consistent basis in 09/10 season. Luis offensive game is silky and very fluid and it will no doubt bring the very best out of Hazard and Schurrle. He is a good crosser/passer too so I had expect most of our attacking plays to come from the left side as I can't bare too watch any more awful crossing exhibition from Ivanovic next season.

The Chels 2,502 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 So he didn't complete yesterday's training because of a 'bruised knee' and is missing today's because of a 'fever' lolhttp://www.vavel.com/es/futbol/atletico-de-madrid/368575-filipe-luis-con-fiebre-no-se-entrena.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Looks like he threw a tantrum and Simeone decided enough is enough and sent him to train there. You don't mess with Diego and get away lol. Now he basically forced himself into leaving as I am sure his relationship with Diego is damaged, even if he stays that new LB will surely be given a lot of chances ahead of him now.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'd be quite surprised if we don't see some developments with this one by Friday 5pm. Would imagine Jose would want him on board by the time the European friendlies begin and preseason intensifies. We'll end up paying the buyout clause for sure.
