Schurrle will show his class at Wolfsburg. He was very good at the World Cup.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Guilty m'lud, by virtue of Kenyon's involvement. Anything he's associated with is dodgy by default. Nasty little twat.
I think there was a 442 journo who said that he felt that deal stunk to high heaven when it was announced during the summer. The story went, from memory, that he had been punted around for a much lesser fee and suddenly his agent arrived back at Dynamo with a much, much higher offer from WBA.
Pogba in the summer.
Don't know what's so "dodgy" about this deal. We bought him for £18m and we were never going to sell him for a loss. He was one of Germay's best players at the World Cup and is being sold to a loaded club. We're only making a relatively small profit. Not like we just sold him for £40m or something.
Why was poor De Gea subjected to having to carry this lot? He stands out like a swore thumb in that lineup.
Aye, shame to see him go. Underrated player and one that i really enjoy watching due to his style. Wolfsburg are building a really solid team right now that has a great chance of solidifying 2nd place in the Bundesliga in the coming seasons.
Chelsea's deal with Wolfsburg is not that impressive considering we have to pay a higher fee and higher wages for Cuadradro. The numbers for Cuadrado and Mourinho not too keen on selling Schürrle were the reason that Wolfsburg had to pay the 3rd highest fee ever offered from a Bundesliga club. But for Chelsea it's deal which means that we have probably more costs of around 10 mil.Euros over the next 4/5 years because Cuadrado is simply more expensive.

The revolution will not be televised
I think the fees are comparable - depending on a source it's between £24m to £27m for Schurrle and £23m to £26m for Cuadrado. As for wages, how do you know how much Cuadrado's going to make at CFC? According to Telegraph, Schurrle will get close to £85,000 a week at Wolfsburg. I imagine, Cuadrado gets about the same at CFC.
Wolfsburg will initially pay something like £25m and the fee for Cuadrado was something like £27m. We also have to pay the agent for Cuadrado and his solidarity fee, so we pay minimum something like £31m for Cuadrado.
Schürrle didn't earn that much at Chelsea and Cuadrado will get more because he is older and it's his final big career contract - potentially. But that maybe doesn't hurt us that much if we get any bonus payments for Schürrle.
I just go by what I read in the press. The fee for Cuadrado is close to 23 potentially rising to 27. This is how Chelsea got Fiorentina to sell, by agreeing to a price that can potentially reach his actual buyout fee. Schurrle's fee is in the same range. Neither you nor I know what their actual wages are.
Now now, are you really suggesting that a stand up citizen like Roman Abramovich would be involved in any suspect business practices?
It's lies, all lies.
Me too. The reported fees for Cuadrado were mostly higher than the one for Schürrle. You can't ignore the solidarity fee which will be something like 0.5 - 0.75 m€. And the agent likes to get his expenses covered (and a big chunk on top of that).
I know LGV has said we won't be signing anybody but I can't help feel disappointed at that, I still worry about our defense and our midfield still isn't great. Hopefully our squad is good enough to make the champions league next season but boy if we don't then we could struggle in the summer to get the big names.
I think every team looking to play in the UCL should strengthen their squad by signing at least 1 player every window
Cuadrado done.
What is your reasoning for this?
Should have signed him when we had the chance, is the sort of winger we have history with at the club and the sort we currently lack.
I was hoping we'd try and bring in a central defender (Vlaar maybe) but it looks like we're stuck with the players we've got 'til summer.

"Tim Cahill could easily be an important player for a mid-tabled Premier League team should they choose to sign him. With 99 out of 99 jumping and 94 heading accuracy on Fifa 15, he'd be a real threat from set pieces and could score some important goals. He's a very good option to have, even if it's just as a back-up. He could always take up high jumping in the Olympics if football doesn't work out..."
WTF?!

Don't be so disrespectful, you feckless shit. He has 99 jumping.

Best I've managed is 72 vision.
I think it's best for all parties if this eventually happens.
Ings should definitely go to Sociedad if he's intent on leaving Burnley. A move to Liverpool wouldn't be healthy for him at this stage as i don't think he is of that quality yet, plus it will be interesting to see a player of his ilk moving abroad to craft out a career rather than stick in the PL. Having Moyes as a manager would help him settle in well too, he's a cracking manager when working with rough diamonds and nurturing them for the level above.
Is this the most boring window ever?
Yeh defo , seems funny how one player gets sold for silly money then someone comes in for around the same price . Ffp rule bending one thinks
Inter Milan are having a very good team (for Serie A level) on the paper.......a shame they can't show it on the pitch
Handanovic - Nagatomo, Vidic, Ranocchia, Santon, - Hernanes, Medel; Shaqiri, Kovacic, Podolski - Icardi
