[the wes 7,212]

The agent of Shakhtar Donetsk winger Darijo Srna has revealed a move to England is on.

Srna has been linked with Chelsea and Tottenham and Igor Stimac said: "But if a transfer happens, than my prediction is that he will not move to Barcelona. It is more likely that he will sign for club from England.

"We are talking about a club, which is right now selling a right-winger and the coach is just in love with Srna's style of play."

Linked to Barcelona as well? Who the hell IS he?

he's the captain of Shakhtar Donetsk, and a regular with the Croatia National Team. He led Shakhtar to UEFA Cup glory last season.

Only problem .... he's 27

So, if he is good, still has the juice left and can be a useful player, then he could be a great buy. I think fans here are a bit too obsessed by getting very young players

Great player. Absolutely brilliant. Didn't know he was 27, though, thought he was in his thirties. Would be a good signing, I think he'd be great for us. Truly excellent dribbler and has a shot and a half on him.

I reckon 28 is the oldest we should buy

[Alee. 182]

NO

We have Zhirkov, Joe Cole and Malouda on the wings already! As hard as its going to be rotating them, we cant do with someone like him, whos captain of his team and would want decent # of appearances at Chelsea

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

Would be a good buy, Srna is absolutely top notch.

I always thought hes a right back.

"We are talking about a club, which is right now selling a right-winger and the coach is just in love with Srna's style of play."

Sounds more like he's moving to Spurs?! Where right winger = David Bentley.

I always thought hes a right back.

he can play both positions

[Blue FC 3]

Spurs always sign him in FM09 - he's class on there.

In real life I've never seen him play - but all reports are good. Unlikely though this summer.

Srna was one of the biggest talents on Balkan in last 5-6 years, maybe his problem was movin to Shahtjor from Hajduk Split and there he get himself injured...but he is great great layer can play as a middfilder or even right defender....and his free kicks are sooooo good!!

[Mart 29]

Spurs are selling Chimbonda, probably therefore paving the way to sign Srna? Dunno. Doubt we will sign him anywayz.

Chelsea are lining up a £10million January bid for Shakhtar Donetsk right-back Darijo Srna.

The 27-year-old defender is under contract until 2011 but, according to the Evening Standard, the Ukrainians will not stand in his way as the Blues have already made contact about the player.

The Croatia international, who has been at Shakhtar since 2003, said: 'The truth is I have two definite offers from top clubs in Europe, but I cannot name them. That would not be right.'
