He's one I wanted from Celtic (along with Wanyama)... Dembele is the next one..

No he isn't when it comes to passing and his passing range.

He's excellent at breaking up attacks and getting rid of the ball. He's not CB you want fricking around at the back with the ball.

Respectfully disagree... It is what he excels at.. He is the epitome of a ball playing CB.. that also happens to be a big, physical CB too..

He doesn't look to have poor range to me. Seems pretty confident in himself.

Bro you already admitted you haven't seen him outside some clips

Regardless he's a great defender and could be the long term replacement for VK.

What in the absolute frick? Have you ever actually watched him? fricking El Mundo Deportivo links him with Barca every window because of his skills.

Lennon, Deila, and Koeman have all even used him in midfield and as a forward at times because of his skills.

Yea I've watched him a lot and did see him at DM.

He's not the type of defender that fricks around at the back with the ball.

I dunno where he fits in their system.

Dudes in a tough spot right now and not sure what top English team really needs him. But he's trying to get his work permit.

How much will he cost?

I can see him plugging into the pedro/willian role on the right, but not sure they need him...

He seems made for PSG... expensive, luxury player..

edit: that sounds like I don't like him.. I actually think he's fantastic..

You would Madrid would want at least £40 million back for him

He could play on the wing but he excels in the hole.

yeah, thats his best position... but he played on the right at Porto and those chelsea "two" play more as inside forwards and not touch line wingers..

They could probably just hand over the Oscar money and come out the better for it..

I thought he was linked with you guys as well? But I don't see where he would fit with you either..

L'Equipe is saying Draxler to PSG is done for €36mm..

No clue how reliable they are..

edit: Also, Thiago Silva has re-upped through 2020

I just can't see him being a Conte player. I guess he could play RW, but that would mean whoever is playing RWB is going to defend A LOT by himself.

If we're willing to spend that kind of money, I would much rather invest in a legit CB or a more dynamic box-to-box midfielder who adds more going forward than Matic but works harder without the ball than Cesc.

L'Equipe puts out shite rumors sometimes but if they are saying it's done it's pretty reliable

Club has confirmed in any case

Gabbiadini is rumored to Everton, Stoke, and Wolfsburg among others. Napoli has confirmed he will leave in January.

Conte robbed that Chinese club

Oscar isn't worth 40mil, let alone the reported $60mil they got.


Conte is going to build Juve West, and dominate the league. He's already opening up a big league and the guy still doesn't have his last 3 or 4 piece to his puzzle in yet.

Not sure why they would purchase James from Madrid, i think he fits LaLiga soccer much better than EPL.

Vidal rumors to chelsea would be a huge move for them. Vidal is the ultimate troll on the pitch, he gets people wound up, and can play back, or move up and get big goals.
