My thoughts exactly...

Not necessarily. Contract running out soon so he couldn't be that much overpriced only for performing well at the Euros, could he? Also if it's true he's a Chelsea fan I'm pretty sure he would choose us over another top club.

Anyone know if he can play CM too? So far I've seen him play in a free role behind the striker and on the wings so seems quite versatile to me. Maybe he isn't exactly what we need most at the moment but could be too good an opportunity to turn down if he's available for peanuts and willing to come.

As far I see, he is winger. Involves lot in attack, fights for ball and is classic winger who likes to pass more than dribble.

I dont see why you keep saying he is not fit to our formation, while he is winger and we need winger. He certainly is not CM or CAM because he is not playmaker type (Zenit trio are CMs for Russia), but runs on wings and then goes to penalty area, trying to score or pass. I like about him that he makes double passes and creates clear chance (something that him and Mata would do great), and not so much dribbling play (ala Hazard).

Reasons:

Cheaper than Hulk (15-20mio or free)

Plays for CSKA (Abramovich is in good relations with this club)

Prefers wing play with passing

Knows how to score

IS A CHELSEA FAN

only 21 years old

Even if we get him, where are we going to play him? He is a CAM and we already well stocked in that area.

RAM?

kinda like this

---------------Torres

Hazard-----Mata-------Dzagoev

kinda similar to Dortmund.

not saying we should buy him, but it is very possible to make room for him.

He would then still be starting in the wide area, won't he? What we need now is a proper right sided winger, one who is comfortable playing there and Dzagoev is not that.

Agreed. We've had enough converted wingers over the last few years. But we haven't had a proper natural winger since Robben!

But who is a "natural winger" now? Every winger now dreams of being an "inside forward" or even being an out and out central player. Even Hazard.

True there aren't many left but surely we can find someone. Utd and Tottenham have proper wingers and that adds a dimension to their gamer we usually sorely lack especially against tight defenses.

We've already signed a natural winger in the form of Marin (let's hope he can prove to be world-class) surely we can find another.

Sometimes its better to buy player who actualy

comes here because he likes club, not just to become more famous for playing in bigger league for bigger club and more money.

A player like Dzagoev has completely different mentality than those of Hulk or Torres. If Dzagoev comes to Chelsea it will be his dream come true and such players cant flop. He will work lot and wont be under pressure as much as Hulk or Torres, Sheva,...

And nowdays, there is no such player as 'natural winger'. This is moder football now...

He's played predominantly in a wide role for Russia so far, granted I haven't seen much of him at CSKA so i'll go have a hunt and see what I can find, but it would strike me that he could play that right side next to hazard and mata. There's nothing I've seen that seems to suggest he can't.
