Fulham Broadway 17,315 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Love the shape on those crosses. Imagine the possibilities with a better striker at the end of it rather than the clueless ones Augsburg have.Decent at 1 v 1 as well.Still feels like a step down from Filipe LuisAgree, something Bridgesque about the crosses Better than the other Baba we had as well (yaro)Can see him pummelling up the left working well with Hazard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hope this deal collapses. We are getting absolutely ripped off here. He isn't a 25m player and never will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hope this deal collapses. We are getting absolutely ripped off here. He isn't a 25m player and never will be.People are forgetting the euro-pound exchange rate here. 25m euros would be only £17m at the current rate. That isn't too bad although I have never seen the lad play but I trust Jose on this one. Just get a midfielder too and we are set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 People are forgetting the euro-pound currency here. 25m euros would be only £17m at the current rate. That isn't too bad although I have never seen the lad play but I trust Jose on this one. Just get a midfielder too and we are set!More like 17.7 m pounds. but it is 25 m pounds anyway according to guardian. If we are held to ransom by this excuse of a club then we create a dangerous precedent. We were dumb enough to sell Luis first and making a mess of this and no we give in to their ridiculous demands? Felled or ghoulam are no worse than baba but would cost half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felled or ghoulam are no worse than baba but would cost half.25m pounds is 35 million euros. I believe it is the usual case of British papers not understanding the difference between different currencies just like with David Luiz transfer. 35 fucking million for a neverheard left-back? I think Jose and the board would have already found another left-back if Augsburg had the balls to ask for such money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think it might be it this time. Di Marzio was the only one who contradict the reports about a done deal a week ago (from Bild), and he was also the first to report about Baba.The datails (Google translate, later they will translate it to english):" An operation that ended based on 20 million EUR plus five bonus; in addition, all 20 games will add another million and after reaching 100 appearances will add another 5 million. For the player, however, five-year contract to three million Euros net per season" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Welcome to Chelsea. Make the best out of it and be the proper fullback we have longed for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Relief. Big money but it was vital we got LB cover. As good as Azpi is I hope in home games against teams who are much inferior to us, we see Rahman start because it is rare that he will have much defending too. Having a naturally fast, attack minded player will be really be beneficial. Especially with people saying he is an excellent crosser, I hope he is not left out the team as much as Luis was. I do actually think that the lack of a natural left footer can hinder us sometimes so hope Mourinho sees a lot in him and trusts him to play every so often. Seems like he could challenge Azpi for the role, hopefully too. Had the most tackles in the Bundesliga last season. Very impressive. We hopefully have a LB who excels in attacking and defending.

King11Didier 916 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hope we don't sign him with the idea to bench him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I can only hope he turns out to be a quality fullback, with pace and quality on the ball and going forward.I do wonder though... With Mourinho's reluctance to rotate, how much will we see him? Would be a shame if we saw another Luis situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hope we don't sign him with the idea to bench him.Put him in at left back, Azpilicueta moves to Right Back.. suddenly you have Ivanovic having to work for his place!That's an ideal situation. Whether Mourinho agrees with me or not depends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamad138 190 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Baba will bench both azpi and ivanovic. He is better than them and he has far more talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
