Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 1 hour ago, Blue Colored Sky said: Honestly, I'm ok with this. He looks that he has some talent to play possession football and he likes to play through balls. He can shoot. His freekicks shots/deliveries are great. What I know is that we absolutely need attacking midfielder this winter but we also crave for major player next to Diego and Hazard. If we won't block here a pathway to marquee signing in the summer, then sign him up. It really is a catch 22 for Chelsea at the moment. Because much like you, I want ELITE- World Class signings in mold of Griezmann/Dybala/James Rodriguez/ etc. etc., but the first two names are most definitely not leaving in January or in the Summer either. And James Rodriguez is pulling this ultimate dance; stating he's fed up of not starting, to Zidane giving him starts upon winter break, to getting his British Visa/whatever in Colombia, to not really pushing for the move anymore, to who knows what the hell what he wants. Deep down, i think if we sign Hakan, no major Elite RF purchase comes in the summer. Because Hazard/Pedro/Hakan/Willian would be the options. Unless, Conte thinks he can get Willian to convert to RWB, I don't see how we buy Hakan and a major RF. But we cannot go on without an Oscar replacement, that'd be just too risky. Decisions, Decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decisions, Decisions. We should pay 5-10m and loan some player. That's the only option we can take to a) fill the gap don't overcommit on wrong player. Obviously it's super unrealistic. Attacking midfielder is the only position that you can't plug the hole with stop-gap solution. In goal, defence, midfield you can buy experience for a few months, even in attack you can buy some old poacher who will do the job for you.

He has pay €100,000 in compensation to Turkish club Trabzonspor, for whom he agreed to sign as a teenager, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled on Thursday. The complaint was originally lodged in 2013 and has somehow taken 4 years to come to a conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artandur 939 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Except his freekicks we pretty much have a better version of him in Fabregas and even he isnt seeing a lot of the pitch. Doesnt really seem like the type of player Conte is looking for imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Only Ozil is less of a Conte player. And maybe Taarabt. It's easy to draw conclusions about what they all have in common without explaining. Exceptional talent does not equal exceptional performances. This guy is great to watch but only if it's not in your team. I would take him only in a scenario where he's a bench player used against small sides in cups. For those games, he'd always ensure we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
