Alex - CB - Chelsea (19 Viewers)

[Flamez]

I've never thought Luisao is that slow.

He's quite slow on the turn, but his huge stride covers the ground reasonably quickly when it comes to a straight sprint.

He'd be pretty high on the list of CBs I would say Juve ought to consider (no idea if he's available).

Well, I don't think Lugano is that slow.

Luisão isn't fast and if you asked me to compare, I'd say Lugano is faster than him. The brazilian is great positionally and leading the defensive line, though. I'd take him before any of the names referenced by the press, but I want him with Benfica and the money coverage that Benfica would get wouldn't cover the huge loss on the pitch by any means.

P.S.: Maybe I rate Coates higher than Luisão or any CB linked with us, but he would mostly be an option for the future anyway. We need someone right now.

Brig has always these sensational rumours Salv

Yeah I know, no one believes the guy. Just wanted to spice this thread up .

 

[Salvo]

We would have the best direct free kick team in the world

It's "The Sun" who came up with the latest rumor. Apparently we're raising our first offer of 7m eur (was there really an offer?).

Oh, and according to them Marotta tried to get Alex on loan but Chelsea refused that.

Seems like the loan option is the first thing that comes to Marotta when negotiating.

 

[jussr]

I don't know if I'd take him on a permanent basis. He is very good but also on high wages and injury prone, he could become a giant liability.

 

[Byrone]

He couldn't possibly be any worse than Andrade, he's definitely worth the risk.

 

[Salvo]

Apparently 2.5ml for the loan and 7 next year.

 

[Byrone]

When did you become a transfer guru, Sal?

 

[jussr]

Apparently 2.5ml for the loan and 7 next year.

This would be great. We get a good player without risking too much by signing him on a permanent basis and after next season if he is good for us we buy him.

Unless its another one of Marotta's "loans", which it probably is.

Weird trend on here; when a thread is opened regarding a player there's an initial excitement and you see comments like "Oh my God, too good to be true" and as the player is about to join you get a flood of negative posts

"Injury prone" "show pony" "one-dimensional" "unproven" "non-EU"

Just be happy bitches. That's all I'm saying.

Unhappy player, need the money, need to reduce the roster and fill the homegrown quota.

 

[Cuti]

Apparently Chelsea rejected a 7 million offer from us and are holding out for 12 million
