petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 A no brainer for the rumoured amount. Not only that I want him here, but I think he is first eleven material as well. Cuadrado is rubbish and Willian is not a winger. Just like Thomas Muller, Pedro is not the most exciting player to watch, but he is damn good at what he does.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Morata is good. KO'ed Real in the CL and scored against the best team in the world in a CL final. But yea, Spain isn't very good anymore.I know he is good but not Villa level good, he is atm more similar to the Higuain type to me and just being a great poacher, but that is about it.

But I agree, Villa was a top 5 striker in the world at his peak, Morata i doubt will ever be quite that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Some members here need to go and wank it out on Reus and then return here and post. Obviously we are not interested in Reus and it's nothing we can do about it. I never said he is a bad player, but he has been playing as a LW for some time and that's his position for me now. If he played RW before cool, but I still feel he's better on the left. Who else is there besides Reus for our right wing ? Trust me guys, I'd like us to sign Reus too but we're not even interested Or you would rather we've signed Sterling for 50mil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvala 2,167 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I think he'll be a great addition to our team.He has great movement, great touch on the ball, is experienced and doesn't cost a shit load of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,142 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Willian has to be the most overrated player in Chelsea history. Even Malouda who had 3 better seasons than Willian will ever have wasn't anywhere near this appreciated.Is he a great dribbler? NoIs he particularly creative? NoDoes he score goals? NoIs he a big game player? NoYet people claim he's "much better" than a player that was a starter for the most dominant club & NT sides this decade up until last season. A player that's just 2 goals shy of scoring 100 goals for Barcelona. I mean, his isn't some loveable academy prospect or something he's a £30m signing that is currently in the prime of his career. Astonishing just how low the bar is set for him. I just don't get it.You really do not like Willian do you? But you seem to rate Oscar as the best thing on this planet. Stats are not always the biggest thing. Second half of the season I would say Willian was our best player after Hazard. His dribbling is not great but it is good. His dribbling and balance often means he can shrug off challenges and create chances. Especially when he plays through the centre. He does need to score more, agreed. He is a big game player because he does what Mourinho asks with his defensive work and that is why we have not lost any big games (top 4) in the last 2 seasons. Willian is criticized because of his stats but even pundits who are non-Chelsea fans always point out that bar that he brings so much quality and balance to our team. Yes, Pedro has better stats than Willian but I think you and other people are actually assuming he will lose his place in the team without realising how key he is to Mourinho's plans.

jmarlow 458 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 if hazard gets injured any time, we are screwed too. but their is a difference in replacing hazard with a youth player like brown (haddidi for barca), or a decent replacement like pedro/remy (turan/vidal for barca) and thats what we are saying here. if it is about replacing any of those MSN as per each of their talents, there simply aint players available.yes i get that, but at the same time if an injury happens before or after Jan, Barca have to just simply deal with it these things happen, i dont think they will be too concerned if they go into next season with Munir and Sandro as back ups until Jan.

True, he isn't a world class player but you make him sound like he should be playing for Sunderland or something.Also, let's judge Oscar (your husband) by the same criteria you just used with Willian:Is he a great dribbler? NoIs he particularly creative? NoDoes he score goals? RarelyIs he a big game player? NoYet you think he's this incredible player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonsFinest 692 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Is there any reason why we can't get him, make him push Oscar/Cuadrado and if the first doesn't pick up form or Cuadrado flops we just get a replacement in Griezmann/Isco or whoever, depending on the club stature? Good signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Well if theres owt to the reports he has reached out to Cescy with his worries of not speaking English who has obviously told him of our multilingual talents,I hope that if he does come then he is given a fair crack at the whip in the 1st team and we use him to our best advantage,Seeing as we are told apparently we aren't interested in Reus and we shouldnt pay too much for players.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 While Pedro is a goalscorer, dont take the number of his goals for granted.Even Cesc had 15, 14 and 13 goals for Barca in three seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its still easier to score for barca in la liga then chelsea in PL IMO Oh and as I know Mourinho, he will probably play Pedro as second RB too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Shit this is actually serious I don't want him for 30m euros, might as well add 20m more and ask about Isco/Reus who are far superior players or just do 40m on Grizemann release clause. FFS and to think just a few million more we could have got Sanchez last summer which would have made our attacking front line just as good as Barcelona or Bayern or Real.
