Bracken Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I wouldn't mind him, can't see United selling him to us though. I'd love us to bring in someone pacey who can just finish, nothing fancy, just a pure finisher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Do we? With Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Lampard etc in the team I'd have thought the best option would be a Hernandez/van Nistelrooy/Huntelaar type player just to poach. I think we're definitely trying to play in a way where ALL of the attacking players are involved in the buildup. Personally I don't mind as long as he scores but I don't really like Hernandez anyway and there's no way he joins us either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deez0r Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Would love someone like Defoe at Chelsea. Easily one of the most underrated strikers around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddidiodion Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thoughts on Javier Hernandez? United have an over abundance of strikers, so might be open to leave. No footballing ability whatsoever except he knows to finish. Huge fan of Chicharito, imagine having a #9 who knew how to finish!? Oh you poor naive souls... can't have him though, I don't care if he's crap atm, I still love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deez0r Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Someone like Defoe not Defoe himself, if he was a few years younger then yes. Best natural finisher in the league in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegr8anand Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ya found this news. http://thechels.net/2012/08/anderlechts-kouyate-linked-with-chelsea/ The latest news comes from DH, who suggest that Blues scout Tony White (who does a lot of work in France and the Benelux region) is looking to finalise a deal for Senegalese defender Cheikhou Kouyaté. The 22 year-old, who wore the number 8 for his country at the London 2012 Olympic Games, would not currently qualify for a work permit but DH claim that he is in the latter stages of finalising paperwork to acquire Belgian citizenship. A fee of €7m has been floated for the 6’4″ youngster, who can also play in midfield, with talk that some or part of the fee would be bonus/incentive-based. Roma, Arsenal, and Tottenham are all also believed to be interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorando Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I don't think Anderlecht is prepared to sell Kouyate for 7 million. Anyway Kouyate said he wants to stay if they qualify for the champions league in 2 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubenJ Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 it was a tap-in in an empty net though but aside from the goal he was decent, in spite of his bad ball control Eden Hazard was also decent but not up to his high standards. Courtois was excellent as always (and hopefully became the definite number 1 for the qualifiers) and De Bruyne was also very good, especially his ridiculous pass that led to the 4-2.

Delighted he's going to be getting a chance for regular football, but a little disappointed a Premiership side didn't take him. He's got the talent to hold his own at a mid-table side IMO, although perhaps Chelsea want him to prove his fitness at a lower level first. Nottm Forest have spoken about how highly Chelsea rate him though (on the BBC page) so hopefully he'll have a future with us, even if he'll be about 24/25 before he gets the chance to make his mark.

Müller1469564937 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 That Essien video is great, but the thing that annoys me about that is how Shaun Wright-Phillips grabs him and pulls him down before he gets the chance to run off and celebrate with the fans. I reckon he was cleary about to dive right into the front row and start a mini riot, haha. Great goal though, just ashame about that bellend ruining his moment.
