I agree mate he's no winger his best position his the number 10 role which doesn't fit in are new formation 

[LAM09 6,773]

Need to be going after players that we can accommodate in our current system. He isn't one of them.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Could easily play the Pedro role. 

[ILoveLamp 270]

Dont see where he fits and don't rate him that highly. He scores great goals but his general game doesn't impress me. Would rather avoid...

[TheIceMan 596]

maybe back up for Hazard! Although some on twitter say that he is to replace Oscar!

[lucio 5,418]

great player, please get him

[BoyBlue96 990]

Uhm, people here forget thet Moses is originally a left winger right?

 

Conte can easily mold a player into another position. If this is a Conte signing ,not a Buckenalo, I have full confidence in him and Conte for choosing him and for Hakan choosing Chelsea.

Looks like the sort of creative little magician we were crying out for under the last regime but I don't see the need for his type now.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Same old same old.

We need proper solution. Preferably left-footed. Fekir, Bernardo Silva, James. Dream signings like Griezmann or Dybała. It's not like we need much. Time to bring that marquee signing. Seriously, the hunt for a RW post-Kalou is embarrassing and I feel this guy is more  of the same.

I don't know exactly what some of you are talking about, we're not going to sign a player for the starting XI in the winter. If we do sign Calhanoglu its to strengthen the squad, he'd be Hazard's understudy with a chance to fit in on the right if he hits the ground running.

The time for big signings for the XI is in the summer.

[TheIceMan 596]

I have a feeling this might be true!!!

Hakan Calhanoglu was close to moving to #Chelsea in July, but Leverkusen were unwilling to budge from their £17m asking price. [Haberturk]

Turkey boss Fatih Terim was even made aware of Calhanoglu’s move, with Antonio Conte keen to find an alternative to Oscar. [Haberturk]
