Jype 6,398 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 23 minutes ago, Pizy said: He'll turn 31 during the season and isn't better than either Willian or Pedro. Don't see the point of it at all. I feel like if we're after another winger he should be a clear upgrade on what we have. It's not a priority area that needs money splashed at it now. Wait until next summer and join the Ousmane Dembele competition. At the Euro2016 Candreva played as right wing-back for Conte's Italy. Providing another option for Moses on the RWB as well as being a capable backup for the attacking wing positions would be great. Age is not really a problem either with most of the key players in the squad being 22-27, a little experience in the squad never hurt anyone. We're talking about a player the manager knows well and seemingly values a lot so I don't really see a problem here. If Inter are ready to sell, he'd make for a good signing.

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 All for this signing. Gives us depth at right wing back and has experience. Conte knows him well too. Sign him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,543 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 give us 2 good years or more and help us win some silverwear and it`s money well spent.not bothered by the age..Italians have a longer shelf life than most (when it comes to football anyway..their women not so much..:))..we signed Zola when he was 30 and we had 7 good years out of him.. you don`t get much in this current market for 20m..he is somewhat of a bargain really..

zekinjo 449 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I don't know how bad he is at Inter while he is playing on RW but I know how good he is on every WC or EC competitions when he plays as RWB, arguably in 2,3 players in the competition on that right side, if not the best. If Conte really wants him, I believe he'll be a starter for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,153 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 He's not even a massive upgrade on Moses, and this is what I was saying the other day about adding to positions and upping the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and yes 1 hour ago, sir_volrath said: Antonio ffing Candreva, guy isn't even good enough for the worst Inter side in the last 20 years. Have to disagree. This Inter side is average but it is not as bad as the one Mourinho left behind and then fell apart. They were horrendous for years afterwards. This is Inter side is actually the best since then. 37 minutes ago, Special Juan said: He's not even a massive upgrade on Moses, and this is what I was saying the other day about adding to positions and upping the quality. No he is not but few players are. This is because there are not many outstanding players able to perform in this position in a world class level as they used to be wingers or fullbacks with 3 at the back being a relatively new formation. Not even Danilo, Walker or Ox are massive upgrades over Moses when all are performing at their best. However the wingback position requires an awful lot of running which is the reason that even in a one game per week season, MOses got tired towards the end. Hence, Conte wants to have depth and competition in the wingbackposition. And for this Candreva is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 MOSES Speed 8/10 Crossing 5/10 Ball control/Close control 7/10 Stamina 9/10 Shoot 6/10 Body strength 8/10 Bonuses - not bad in the air for a winger. CANDREVA Speed 7/10 Crossing 8/10 Ball control/Close control 8/10 Stamina 8/10 Shoot 8/10 Body strength 7/10 Bonuses - good with weaker foot, can take good free kicks. Conclusion - Moses is physically stronger, faster, Candreva on the other side has much better technique. I would take him for reasonable price. EDIT: Considering that we certainly won't bring some technically gifted midfielder, I think Candreva actually fits us a lot better than Moses. EDIT 2: Have read about him a bit more, his crossing isn't THAT good, lowered it to 8. (I know it looks like I just c/p this from PES or FIFA, but that's not the case, I know both players, and I checked some statistics of course.)

Despiadado.Maleante 1,046 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Moses is the most wasteful player iv seem play for Chelsea in ages. Attack wise this will literally add 10 goals a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
