LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 This signing strikes me as a stop-gap. One of those signings that'll be in off in about 2 years... Like those other two guys he's reportedly replacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 There were people who wanted us to change a very successful set up so Torres could score, it was absolutely retarded, people said he couldn't play with Drogba in the same squad hahahahaha but yet these people like you said want Schurrle gone because he hasn't done too well after a half decent first season. . Schurrle was very solid last season and he can improve on that. But he can't improve for Chelsea if he sold at the first sign of weakness. Besides if the Club sold all players that had a slump, Drogba would have been gone years ago, Lampard was average till Mourinho came along, Branislav didn't even play for an entire season when he joined, Nemanja Matic was hocked and now he is the best DM in the world. I'm not saying that Schurrle is going to be amazing but I will say that he has the potential to be amazing. He isn't a starter and probably never will be as long as Hazard is healthy, it must be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Fiorentina Coach talks about how Cuadrado will only leave if we pay the release clause and that he doesn't want him to leave. He goes on to say: "“He has the characteristics suited to English football because he’s fantastic in positive transitions and with Mourinho it could be perfect.” http://www.football-italia.net/61890/montella-cuadrado-clause-onlyHuh? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namika 922 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Personally, I think we are just waiting for Schurrle to be sold to buy him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We play with like 60% possession in most games, we need people that are good in possession and holding onto the ball because even players with 80% pass completion and good ball retention look bad in our team compared to guys like Hazard and Willian who never seem to lose the ball ever. That's the reason Schurrle doesn't fit, De Bruyne didn't last and also why I think Cuadrado will struggle. Not sure about Douglas Costa, never seen him play.

Jase 43,479 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 That is the club though. There were Torres fanboys with erections so raging hard for him they would have changed the entire team to justify his presence in the starting XI. The fans are quick to throw Schurrle under the bus for a new toy.Never mind Torres, people forget that Schurrle is only 24 years old and he can definitely still get better. If others like Oscar, Willian (he's 26 already for that matter) etc can be given the time and patience to improve themselves, then why not Schurrle or even Salah? Granted, Schurrle's form and performances haven't been too great this season but he showed his qualities last season and earlier this season as well. We all praised him for it. You don't just suddenly lose those qualities and become a poor player overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schurrle hasn't been injured if I recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schurrle hasn't been injured if I recall correctly.I don't think that "mystery illness" has helped given Mourinho mentioned that it affected his physical and mental state. Not trying to find excuses here but don't think he's been helped by not getting enough game time to get back to his best. Guess that's what happens when the team is doing so well..
