Sneijder to Chelsea?

Can we have someone younger and more creative...

I'd love Kroos TBH. A slightly more attacking version of Schweinsteiger. perfect for what we need, and young too.

um don't know who you have in mind tbh.

If you are alleging Sneijder of being old, then i should remained you that he is the same age as Torres and technically he is younger.

Not creative enough?

He is credited as one of the most creative AMF in the world, i can't really think of anyone better then him atm.

A few years ago he was highly touted, but since his move to Bayern he has disappointed.

Mario Gotze of Dortmund is a player i like a lot and i think he has a chance to better then Ozil in a few years.

I hope Chelsea shows interest in the future.

Sneijder might be a good move. They are planning to get Ganso and if that happens Sneijder might move. If not it would be very hard to even try for Sneijder.

Well sneijder is close to 27, in two-three years his downfall would start as it is with players of his category. Tbh I don't have anyone else in mind, nor do I think they are a lot of experienced, creative ams out there right now bar him, but i think we need a more pacy player to attack from midfield. Or maybe we should rotate with Mceachran and Lampard (hes hardly passed it imo) and hope next season piazon or bruyne step up? After all with those two young creative players in the squad, plus mceachran and kakuta, it wouldnt make sense to spend big on someone else. That's why I was hoping Neymar would come, because Lukaku is more of a drogba...

he actually moved back to bayern, he was only loaned out.

He just needs to find some form and he'll be great again.

Sneijder has at least 5 good years in him, don't know why you would think he would decline at 29 or 30.

We need Sneijder or another MF because all of the alternative you listed are not put to the task. All of those players are either very young or unexperienced.

Sneijder would start declining at around 30, but thats just the start. He might have one to two more years. But he is going to be expensive anyways.

We have made a 10m euro bid for Bruyne accoring to Metro They were asking for that amount and we could complete the signing. The question is, do we loan him back for 1 or 2 years? Genk have the possibility of featuring in next year's Champions League, if they qualify starting from the third qualifying round.

I want him at Chelsea, i think he can develop much better by being part of the squad then going on loan.

The problem with bringing him in outwith a loan is we will have no experienced wingers if we get Neymar, De Bruyne Sturridge and A fourth.

Malouda

Malouda can do one.

Malouda... lol i'd rather keep Zhirkov!

It is not about who should stay, it is about who will stay and Malouda will be with us next year.

Zhirkov is gone, we can sell him now and recoup some of the 18m or we get nothing for him next year.

We can sell Malouda next year and he is better then Zhirkov imo.

Malouda should leave, he spoiled so many attacks because of his non passing attitude and floppy shooting. Yes he was great last season, that is the double winning season but that was one season out of the many season he was here. Zhirkov never really got a chance to show his talents and from the glimpses of chances he got he showed true wing play. Plus he can cover for Ashley if needed. If Malouda was given 2-3 years to get into proper playing ways why would you want Zhirkov to not have that?

I truly can't recall any moment of brilliance from Zhirkov tbh. His signing has been a utter failure and quite frankly he is very injury prone.

We don't need Zhirkov to cover Cole, because we have two very talented LB behind him.


I have said this many times we sell now him now we might get 8-10m, next year we will not make anything out of him. It is simple as that.

Zhirkov is gone this year, and Malouda will leave next year. Simple

If it was up to me i would sell Zhirkov and Malouda tbh.

Why should Malouda stay? In your opinion ?

And Zhirkov has shown that he has dribbling skills and better passing skills. He never got to show his game due to bad injuries.

And on other news its said that Lukaku and De Bruyne will be approached this weekend.

I hope both of them get loan back deals

Beside Sturridge none of these loans deals ever work out.

We shall see what happens with De Bruyne and Lukaku.

agree with blue, zhirkov is pretty useless to us. He can't play as an attacking mid and he can only play lm, but we never use wingers in our formation. Hence he hasn't and will never be playing for us....

he can play lb but hes more or less crap over there, now that we have luiz we can use him there or someone from the academy.

41m for Neymar is a tad excessive imo.
