Yeah he is left sided no doubt but I would say he is much more of a left winger more than he is a left back and signing him would no doubt be for the wing.

Yeah yeah I know, he is a left winger by formation although he is played as a left back. I just wanted to point out to St Abramovich that he doesn't play on the right wing.

In as much as I would love to see him here, I think the club should start looking for a right winger too. We don't have much depth on the right compared to the left side.

Left>>>>>>>COLE, MALOUDA, ZHIRKOV, PvA, RYAN ........Coentrao

Right>>>>>>BOSINGWA, FERREIRA. (Ivan is not a RB, Kalou is not a winger)

Benfica set Coentrao price.

Portugaese club demand £26m for star left-back.

Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira insists Fabio Coentrao would only be allowed to leave for €30million (£26m). The attack-minded Portugal left-back has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid, Manchester City, AC Milan, Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

But Benfica are unwilling to allow Coentrao to leave for anything less than £26million.

The club's president, Luis Filipe Vieira, told Portuguese media: "Coentrao can only leave if a club pays €30m, which is his value in the market."

Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha has reported that Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has already agreed a deal for Coentrao.

But Real and Manchester City would have the financial clout to outbid the Anfield outfit if it becomes clear that the 23-year-old is available.

Benfica seem to think everyone will overpay for their players the way we did :rolleyes:

HA! Overpay eh? Ramires, not overpriced, Luiz not overpriced, DiMaria, not overpriced, and if anything Coentrao is undervalued. He's currently top 3 LB in the world. You don't find world class players for less than that. And for everybody saying we'd buy him as a left wing, that's hilarious. He's been changed to a wingback and will not return to his former position when everyone knows that while he was very good as a winger, he's out of this world in his current position.

All that being said, I agree with other posts that we have more glaring needs right now and while Coentrao is a fantastic player and would be a great signing, I personally think we need to spend that money elsewhere.

Don't need him.

He can go to Madrid. He will be good, but i rather give more time to our youth then spend on him.

Chelsea in the race for Coentrão

With the future of Ashley Cole yet undefined, Andre Villas Boas is already preparing the future of Chelsea and the Portuguese market promises to be one of primary importance for the strengthening of Blue London.
