Rekin 835 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Baba is obviously not being bought to be loaned out, or to remain on the bench for a longer amount of time. He is too expensive to be farmed out for a higher fee, and too young and raw to be a good back-up. I reckon he is supposed to take over the left spot, whether right away or next season (provided he justifies his price tag) with there being a change on the other flank. I suspect that with Terry being phased out in favor of Zouma/Stones, the backline will not be as deep and Mou can relax the expected characteristics in full backs that made Bran such an obvious choice before.

iseah100 5,612 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 completely overpaying for him. shows how desperate we are. nowhere near worth 30 m after one good season in the Bundesliga. Hopefully he can cope with the pressure and the new league. for sure better than spending money on Rose. we are taking a gamble with him, but everything is better than watching Ivanovic playing as a RB atm.Except for its not 30m so your post is irrelevant.

the wes 7,212 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 no no... ivan is too slow... bench him and play stones along side JT ... i like the way u think mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Except for its not 30m so your post is irrelevant. According to the Kicker it is 30 m euros. And even 25 m euros is a lot, if you consider that we bought Luis ( a world-class LB at that time) for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 When was the last time we had a fast fullback???? Ashley Cole was no longer fast after 2010.... Let's hope his defending is as good as Azpilicueta or close, if not he's going to struggle to get games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHaRaOn 2,131 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Can't believe everyone is suggesting Baba when we can buy Laporte/Ricardo rodriguez for that positionLaporte can play left-back, but he's not a left-back. He played whole last season as CB. As for Rodriguez, surely he'll cost more. To be honest, I think RR is a bit overrated. Obviously he's not a bad or an average player, but he's not as perfect as people make him. He has his flaws. Still, can't say nothing about Rahman. Never saw him play.

Despiadado.Maleante 1,046 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 If its really 20m euros which equals around 14m pound. Fair deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Augsburg coach: When you sign someone like Baba from 2nd division & he’s on #CFC’s radar 12 months later, it does make coaching staff proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supporter 3,088 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 20 million euros or 20 m € + bonus (25 or 30 in total) is a good agreement. Someone good and new to avoid monotony. And a new guy that will come with the intention to conquer the world (metaphorically).IMO I would play with Azpilicueta - Zouma - John Stones - Baba throughout the season, but I understand that John Terry (c), Cahill and Ivanovic have their status acquired after so many years. But it would be good to go regenerating our defense gradually.But the best would that we were able to use these seven players throughout the season to get with gasoline at the end of the season. Seven players, four positions and more than 45 matches ... There minutes for all and JT, Cahill and Ivanovic would perform better with 30/40 % minutes less at the end of the season. Jose has to rotate our squad.Welcome Baba!Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Can't believe everyone is suggesting Baba when we can buy Laporte/Ricardo rodriguez for that positionLaporte would play cb , and could still be an option? And Rodriguez is much more expensive , and slow according to some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've never seen him play and won't pretend that I have, so I'll judge him after his first ten matches or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishBlue 426 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Same here. I still think it's stupid that we sold Luis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
