robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 If pedro coming means I don't have to watch Cuadrado trying to control a football... come to papa little pedro! best signing ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonsFinest 692 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Schurrle wanted to leave. Do you understand that? We didn't sell him because we wanted to. He asked to be sold. HE ASKED. How does that not prove my point on him being a flop here. He didn;t have his greatest moments here and you know it's true. Even if he asked to leave in January, the words that "nobody believed in him" don't guarantee he wasn't going to be sold in the summer. Half of the forum wanted his head, anyways. He flopped here, because he was the next big thing since his Mainz days, was good at Bayer and never really made the jump here. Pedro is a class above Schurrle. Whoever denies it, really needs to look at how he plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS 382 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Then do you think that Mata was a flop too then then because he was sold as well, Schurrle isn't a Mourinho type player , he played really well for Chelsea just see how much goals he added to the team Go figure. It's an English thing. Everybody is flop if you don't fit into a particular coach's theme in an EPL team. Smh.I guess Matic was a flop too, but since he came back to Chelsea, he's world class.

Whoever denies it, really needs to look at how he plays.I don't see him as a flop. If he was bought for a large transfer fee and he was obviously purchased to be a crucial player then yes he was flop, but that wasn't the case. From day one he was seen as a player that could push for first team selection and he did that for the most part. We made money on him in a year and a bit and he delivered what we expected, it didn't work out for him but he was not a flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had really high hopes for him, but he was more inconsistent than Ozil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Well lets be honest would any our current attacking midfielders/wingers get a game ahead of Messi, Neymar or Suarez? I don't even know if Eden would get in that front 3 to be fair. And Mourinho's transfer record since coming back a hit and a miss? Half of the guys he signed have been nothing but good and useful for us, some we've not seen as much of. Financially his signings have been very good too. Some will not make it here but will make us money.His first transfer window when he came back in the summer: Schurrle - played regularly, sold for profitvan Ginkel - played a couple of games, got injured, loaned out twice, will be in squad or sold for profit likelySchwartzer - reliable back up, played when needed, left on a freeWillian - playing regularly, improved into one of better playersEto'o - played regularly, left for freeJosimar Quintero - youth signing, don't know what else has happenedIsaiah Brown - youth signing, loaned out, hopefully part of squad soon or sold for profit,Cristian Cuevas - youth signing, loaned out, sell for profit? Stipe Perica - loaned out. probably sell for profitChristian Atsu - loaned out. probably sell for profitThen in the winter:Bertrand Traore - loaned out, will be part of our squad or sold for profit soonNemanja Matic - regular and vital part of our teamMo Salah - kinda regular first half of season then struggled to get in team again, loaned out, will be sold for profit probablyKurt Zouma - loaned out, came back played regularly over a certain amount of timeMario Pasalic - loaned out, looks talented, if not sold probably be sold for profitThe next summer window: Cesc Fabregas - regular and vital part of winning two cupsDiego Costa - regular and vital part of winning cupsFilipe Luis - didn't set the world on fire but still very reliable playerDrogba - don't know particularly why he was resigned as in terms of playing wise he was past it butRemy - reliable back up, scored vital goalsThen January: Cuadrado - only bad signing hes really had here imo still though early to say but not as big a fan. still fetch a decent fee for him though.Now we've added Begovic, Falcao and possibly could get Pedro? I don't think hes particularly made a poor signing other than Cuadrado and maybe Salah although I'd say both could still have a chance as they need more games but okay. The majority of players he has signed that have played in the first team have had an impact of some sort, the others have either been loaned or sold for profit. He has been shrewd in the transfer market. I suppose we all have different scales of success. Playing a few times and being sold or loaned out and sold within a short time doesnt strike me as much of one I'm sorry to say.I know we put alot of pressure on new signings to make an impression straight away but its because we have a small squad and Mous not liking too much of a rotation so it makes it all the more important for us to get it right.Which is a shame sometimes because we all know players sometimes take another season to settle in. Its difficult enough changing clubs in the same country but add families,langages,media etc into the deal and its not easy.But we know too that if your face doesn't fit or your'e not one of Mous styles then youre out.

marketing media pet 27 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I wouldn't call Schurrle a chelsea flop, but he's not better and never will be better than pedro. (and pedro is not "world class" either, he's just a very very good player) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
