Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 German tabloids understand that Baba's distinct wish to move makes this deal to only hinge on formalities. 17.6m pounds/ 25m €, 40k wages. The figueres are probably inaccurate but the move is imminent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Mourinho asked about the arrival of a new left-back, he said: I don't know. But we try. We don't have, we have only one. We are trying.And when pressed over whether the new signing could be Baba Rahman, he replied: He is an Augsburg player. I don't speak.http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/595224/Chelsea-Transfer-News-Jose-Mourinho-Baba-Rahman-FC-Augsburg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Funny how 20m-25m euros for an unknown LB seems to be OK but around a few million more for an established name like Pedro is considered not worth it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chels 2,502 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I heard you wanted a left backWe're looking for a back-up LB, not a starting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We're looking for a back-up LB, not a starting one.Get Rodriguez and start Azpi on the right...Not happening but I would love that. Aside from his offensive abilities he's a proper defender as well. And at his age, he still has a lot of room for growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consired by who? Fifa career mode players? if he was so good why no one heard of him until we were linked with him?2. Who to say he is not just a 1 season wonder? also 5 years of backup?

I would bet good money there are a ton of players you've never heard of who are top players. Just a hunch...2. What if he isn't? He has the raw tools to succeed under Jose's tutelage. big, strong, fast, will tackler and a worker... I see nothing that would lead me to believe he may be a bust. Brana is gonna be 32 at the end of this season, how long do you expect him to be in top form?Chelsea FC know more than you, we have people who actually watch these guys play every game. You have no knowledge of yet you feel its fit to comment on his fee? Why not wait until you see him play before you make an assessment on the valuation? I really don't understand why people routinely comment on things they know nothing about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 how good do you think he is?As I have not seen much of him myself, I have spoken to some mates who have seen plenty of him. They attribute Augsburg's considerable success, establishing themselves as 6th in the Bundesliga and 2nd best team in Bavaria and best in Swabia to their tactically flexible backline whihc he was an integrable part of. What we can expect from him is great athleticism: pace, strength and stamina. His crosses can be hit and miss. He is better when operating with space so he can use his pace for the power dribbling than in tight spaces cos his ball control is not the best but still decent. On the downside he is prone to defensive errors and false positioning. Surely still has to develop but will inevitably get game time here because of our lack of other options.
