Rumoured Alex Teixeira

[the wes 7,212]

Last month, Teixeira confirmed he would be interested in a move to Stamford Bridge, saying: “I have an offer, it was a pleasure to know that Chelsea want to sign me. It would be great if the transfer happens in January.”

[the wes 7,212]

Don't know him. How good he is?

well He has scored 21 goals in 22 matches this season, including 19 in just 13 league games I have only seen him on YouTube he seem to be to good for the Ukrainian league with that scoring record i think hes worth a gamble cause willian and Fernandinho came from Ukrainian league and they have both done well in the PL

I'd rather see us spend money on a CM or a CB, imo we don't need more AM's

[!Hazard! 3,394]

He really doesn't have place in our XI unless Pedro starts riding the bench. We need goalscoring threat from midfielder though but who you gonna drop out? Unless we turn Willian into a central/defensive midfield

Willian Matic

Teixeira

Pedro Hazard

Costa

you cant put willian there

Sign this guy, we badly need goal scoring midfielder since Lampard left/started decling. Shakhtar produces some great players - Costa, Fernandinho, Willian, Mkhitariyan to name a few... He will tear up the PL.

He looks like TEXTBOOK January signing. Definitely can see this happening.

I always rated him the most amongst all of the Shakhtar offensive players. Had something about him, that magic touch, unconventional vision, knack for something extraordinary. I'm talking about little things that you had to pick up. That was from 2011-2013 period when I watched Shakhtar several times. Always thought that he should be signed before any of the other players from that Shakhtar side.

But I wouldn't give my blessing. I don't know if he is the one that Chelsea need. Isn't your typical number "10" and what is other position in attack that Chelsea need strengthening ?

I'm sceptical, he'd definitely strengthen a squad, give few more options but not entirely sure about first XI. But as I said, he is TEXTBOOK January signing and is quite attainable.

Not good business for £30m IMO. Would prefer us to spent that sum of money elsewhere.

[Leif 6,006]

why 30m. seriously why. what has he done to justify that. what. who are we to pay that. why do we continue to be mugs.

They didn't produce any of those players. They just have really, really good scouts.

steal their scouts they seem to be doing a good job finding talent

[Melanicus 5,208]

Well they did produce them, because they became the players they are today in Shakhtar. If they didn't move to Donetsk we wouldn't ever hear of them probably.

To the people that actually watch Shakhthar. Even solely in the CL:

He is, imo, the player that has impressed me the most, even when they tore us up a new arsehole and everybody said it was all Willian. IMO. Teixeira was amazing back then, somewhere on youtube there is bound to be a clip of it and you can see it. He is good. A dynamic No.10 ala KDB. I'd be CONTENT with him here. Mainly because I'd prefer Isco.

I thoroughly disagree with that.

What is with all the isco hype? He is good player but he is show player not someone you want when you play big team because he does fuck all in those games except for few nice tricks.
