nadavTKL 1,787 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 he wont add anything except take a seat on the bench. lightweight, but to the point is not a very good player. slightly above average but knows how to make himself look like a good one.Can i ask how many times you've seen him play?

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So Douglas Costa to replace Schurrle. You couldn't have asked for a better end to this day......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My biggest problem with this potential signing is he'll start on the bench from day one like Salah, and have to impress in 10 minute cameos or fall away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel1980 1,425 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I hope it's BS. A few of my coworkers who watch the Ukrainian league told me that he's a very frustrating, inconsistent player: can have one brilliant game and be shit for a month.I even checked out the biggest Russian sports site(there are lots of football fans from Ukraine there too) and pretty much everyone agreed this guy was worse than Willian (my Russian isn't that good, but that was pretty clear).

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I REALY hope Shakhtar wont drop from that 40m asking price, because that would mean we wont go after him.I rather pay that 35m clause for Cuadrado than 10m for this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,976 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Now watch us seriously regret settling for this kid when one of our direct rivals like City or United sign Cuadrado in the summer.Replacing a player we had with a lesser player. Obviously I'll support him if we sign him and hope for the best but this would be the least excited I'll be for a signing in as long as I can remember. I'd rather just keep André honestly.

dee25 1,044 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Let's just hope this is just like the Guarin rumors that popped up last January window. All signs were pointing to us signing him and then out of nowhere we snatched Matic. I can only pray a similar thing happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special Eden 78 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 If Schurrle goes - then were getting Cuadrado and NOT Costa.If Salah goes - then were getting one of them.This is due to Champions League. Cuadrado can play, but Costa not.But i REALLY hope Schurrle and Salah goes and we buy Cuadrado AND Costa(for the right price of course) If we must pay Cuadrados clause its not the worse.. But if Shaktar want more than 20£m for Costa, its a no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzzaFuzza 4 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Another terrible signing by Mourinho. we desperately need another defender not another Willian. we will be fine with willian and Schurrle for the rest of season, there is no need to buy this crap and sell him next year just like Salah. I'm tired of Mourinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've no funds this window, hence going for Fletcher on loan.
