hamad138 190 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 The german clubs are poor besides wolfsburg and bayern. Baba would be too expensive for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,014 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Because Alaba, Bernat, Schmelzer, Durm, Ricardo Rodriguez are at those clubs.That's never stopped Bayern before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,949 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Is he really better than either Kurzawa or Coentrao? Two guys I believe we should probably be looking at ahead of him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 He looks bang on average from what I have seen so far, looks like another dude we are linked to because of his physical attributes more than his actual ability. He looks average at best technically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If we sign another experienced LB, it could have the same fate as Luis last season and we will sell him at the same time as today next year. It is make sense to looking for someone young and potential for this position as Azpi understudy also act as a backup. Baba fits in those criteria perfectly.

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I have never seen this kid play. How is his attacking ability? Worse than Luis but better than Azpi I assume and therefore it makes sense as then both fullback positions would have defensive and more attacking options available.

didierforever 7,349 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 can anyone give a nice summary of his playing style. strengths, weaknesses, play style, etc etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 can anyone give a nice summary of his playing style. strengths, weaknesses, play style, etc etc..Doubt anyone here watch him even once, let alone extensively to give a summary. I think we can only hope he is a Zouma/Varane defender and not the flavor of the month who just had one good season because I never heard of him before until we are linked a few weeks ago.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Would rather us go for experienced back up tbh. Coentrao would be a nice signing if he wasn't too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHaRaOn 2,131 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Would rather us go for experienced back up tbh. Coentrao would be a nice signing if he wasn't too expensive.Jose has said a few weeks ago that he doesn't want a Portuguese players this summer. And he said same thing last summer, as I can remember.

Toli 977 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 can anyone give a nice summary of his playing style. strengths, weaknesses, play style, etc etc..he is a strong guy, fast, has a good attacking contribution, can run the whole game up and down. weaknesses are in the defensive area: positioning sometimes, sometimes also timing etc. still a bit rough in the defensive part but he is quite good at going forward. even though Luis at the moment is the far superior defender, but it is Mous secret why he hasnt gotten any chance to prove himself here.

quickpassnmove 924 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I think this will be an excellent signing. He will become a great defender for Mourinho and he already has excellent physicality, speed, tackling, delivery. One of the positions Chelsea need the most.

Hope he either grabs amazing chances and benches Brana or waits one year of his development, because I'm confident Jose won't be playing with a 33 year old slow CB at RB in a year. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
