Schurrle?
Yes! That's the guy I had in mind. Heaven's knows why I mixed them up.
Well they're both promising young German attacking midfielders... understandable
De Bruyne is from Belgium and Ginkel is Dutch. Schurrle is German though.
van Ginkel is Dutch
They're all promising midfield players from central Europe that has played for Chelsea, so it's understandable.
They poached Willian from under our noses, they didn't refuse to sell him to us.
Lukaku and Mourinho don't have a great relationship, that is clear to see. If he makes waves and wants to move, and we bid, I reckon we could get him.
I guess the other question we need to ask is whether Lukaku is the next Ibrahimovic - clearly has talent (or at least the physical attributes to bully his way around) but has now fallen out with two fairly big name coaches in AVB and Mourinho.
No matter how good he is, he has to appreciate that the manager risking his reputation on a 16-19 year old is just not feasible. I suspect that he may request a transfer this summer to Everton and take a pay cut for it - only question is whether Everton can afford it.
Unfortunately, for the sake of beating a dead horse, if Lukaku leaves it will be for either: Bayern, Real, PSG. Man City is a maybe depending on how well they do in the CL this year.
I think you are overestimating this lads ability. Sure he's a handful, yes he's a good player. But he's not quite in that top bracket yet.
Yeh the reason he left Chelsea was to get games, he can get them with us and still play for a reasonably big team. He won't want to sit on real madrids bench.
Anyone else think Van Gaal is working with Baldini/Levy over any transfer business this january?
We'll see.
I would hope not. Very disrespectful to Sherwood if they were.
When has anything Levy has done got anything to do with respect?
It's a word he knows nothing about.
