[killer1257 3,282]

So he is coming to Chelsea?

I hope not.

[Barbara 15,149]

another Willian in disguise signing, we should be trying to get rid of his captive starting place (for lack of better competition) not assuring we have another player like him.

No, thank you!

[Parky 739]

From what what I've seen on youtube I like him. Seems quick and with a killer left shot. Willian frustrates me more than Mikel and Ramires atm..\

Only like 2-3 days ago I was absolutely confident we would get Cuadrado and not Costa. Complete opposite opinion now, especially if Shakhtar have told Costa they're going to try and reach an agreement with us

SkySports, which is a reliable source just posted that Cuadrado wants to join us and negotiations are ongoing.

Douglas Costa is cup tied so I hardly doubt that he could be the only arrival. Cuadrado,Costa in and Salah, Schürrle out seems to be more likely.

[Special Juan 27,104]

Yes SKY reporting talks are ongoing with Cuadrado.

Calling it now, Douglas Costa to do an Odemwingie and park outside Stamford bridge on deadline day wanting to be let in. The guy seems legit desperate.

Willian was much better at Shakhtar.

Douglas wouldn't be able to show his skills in EPL as he does in UPL.

[Mart 29]

Had a hard time trying to find stats for this guy, because of the league he plays in almost no one seems to record the assists. Well, I found on here http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/douglas-costa/leistungsdaten/spieler/75615/plus/?saison=2013that he apparently has 7 goals 14 assists in 39 appearances. That sounds alright to me! Don't know much about him obviously, but he's got to be an improvement on Salah at least.

Willian by contrast 4 goals 10 assists in 46 appearances according to the same website...

He's not better than Schurrle ffs.

[lucio 5,401]

He's not better than Schurrle ffs.

If he can control a football and dribble past a defender, then he is. He doesn't inspire confidence though

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

That words he said for Globo Esporte last night. You'd think the interview was done with some former Shakhtar player, not an actual player.

He agrees that his time at Shakhtar has come to and end he is so confident that a move to Chelsea will eventually happen anytime soon.

[Thor 2,128]

He's not better than Schurrle ffs.

And Schurrle wasn't better than Sturridge.

Maybe one day we will reach the end of this road and get a decent wing again.

Sturridge is better than Schurrle on the wing?

[iseah100 5,612]

And Schurrle wasn't better than Sturridge..

LOL ok

[Thor 2,128]

Sturridge is better than Schurrle on the wing?

What makes Schurrle so great on the wing for us?

Dude takes more shots than Sturridge ever did, and breaks down great plays at times, just to have a ping at goal. Of course he'll score a couple if he takes as many shots as he does.
