Jase 43,479 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I think you're too harsh on that. His 1-on-1 defending is quite okay, but it's true that he isn't a defensive monster like Ivanovic.Too harsh? It's just fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Remember, Bosingwa was a heck of a RB in his first season with Chelsea, but ever since those injuries he has never been the same Injuries have nothing to do with positional intelligence.

Severinb 309 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 "Not a single club has shown a concrete interest in signing me so far, so I don't know where I will play next season," Van der Wiel told Goal.com."I have not said farewell to the club yet, and neither has Jan [Vertonghen]. We had agreed not to do so with the players whose future is still undecided." He said that today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Alex Sandro and Danilo are quite interesting. They are young and Porto already paid more than 20mio for them, unusual to their buying policy...If they grow, they will be extremely expensive.

Naturner 0 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I wouldn't be so sure about that. We only bought Bosingwa because he impressed at Euros 2008 and look what has happened since then!I'm not saying we should buy him based on his performances with the national team. I belive I have some authority when it comes to VDW's qualities. Since I'm an Ajax fan and have watched pretty much all our games of the last two years. He's had some bad patches, but overall he's shown how good he can be. I said watch him at the EUROs because he tends to step up when there is actual pressure. I think he'd do well here, because he needs a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Chelsea, Madrid and Roma in three-way fight for Dutch starhttp://www.talksport...tch-star-171783I be kinda disappointed if we get him and not Azpilicueta.But nonetheless, as it is known his contract got less time till expire, and thus Gregory might be cheaper. So if we are on budget, I can't complaint with such a buy if it where to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Alex Sandro and Danilo are quite interesting. They are young and Porto already paid more than 20mio for them, unusual to their buying policy...If they grow, they will be extremely expensive.Alex Sandro was 9.6 million euros and Danilo was 13 million euros. They payed more than 20 million for them collectively but not individually! Also Porto's buying policy doesn't really refer to price its more about signing younger players who have potential to replace the players they've had to sell. Example 1 Falcao for when they sold Lisandro Lopez to Lyon. 2 Kleber for when they sold Falcao to Atletico Madrid.Anyway we should go for VDV, better RB than Bos and Paulo plus Branna should be used as a CB.
