    His pace is insane though, as soon as he figures out how to put the ball in the net he's going to be scary

      Yea, kid has some wheels. He also looks much older than 22 when he has the full beard going but I'd guess that he's had that beard since he was 10, lol. I know the jump in class is huge but Mo finishes really well for Egypt and like Torres for us. He could have easily had 5-7 goals last year in the 2nd half of the season.

          Gonna be honest here, I think Eden is a terrible finisher for a person of his ability. He scores goals because he is one of the best players on the planet and puts himself in good positions, but he is far from a natural goalscorer. Shirley is our only "real" goalscoring midfielder and he is in a bad run of form.

          I actually think we should go all in for Reus. He fits our system perfectly and is exactly the kind of goalscoring threat Jose wants our other midfielders to be. I realize we don't NEED him, but if we want to make that final jump to the top tier of European clubs (Barca, Real, Bayern) then we need players of that caliber (I love Willian, but he will never be THAT good).

            So yeah, looks like my previous post sums up our game today pretty well.

              You jinxed us, lol.

              The minnows did punch way above their weight class but man...Schurrle & Drogba were poor.

              Oh well, Schalke lost so we're still in a good position. Hopefully this fires us up for Liverpool on Saturday.

                Oscar signed a new contract keeping him here until 2019.

                Great bit of news.

                  Man Courtois just cannot buy a clean sheet. He really has been fantastic, I can't think of a single goal we've conceded that was his fault. Never puts a wrong foot forward and then we concede some absolute comedy goals.

                  We played well vs Pool but our finishing was dire honestly. The amount of times they turned the ball over in dangerous areas was silly, we should have punished them for those mistakes but we didn't. If that was RM, they'd have massacred Liverpool.

                  Oh well, 3 more points. Let's just try to make it out of this stupid month.

                    Seems like your wish may come true. I just saw on Fox Sports (take with a grain of salt) that Chelsea is interested in a Marco Reus-Andre Shurrle swap deal. There is mutual interest between both teams.

                    I love Shurrle, but if Mou could make this happen that would be amazing.

                    EDIT: False alarm. Take this with a shovel full of salt. Turns out they got this from the Daily Express.

                      I read that and I think it's probably total BS. I don't see how Dortmund would even consider that. Also it's probably Fox reporting on a story from some garbage English site like the Sun or something.

                      I actually like Shirley a lot, I'd probably be very conflicted about a move like that.

                        This makes me very happy

                          You guys are fantastic this year and I agree. If you get Reus my lord it would be over. Fact of the matter is Chelsea knew who to buy, bought them all quickly and quietly. That's how you do transfer business. Selling players for massive profits also.

                            Hypothetically speaking of course, how would Reus fit in with Chelsea? Strictly from a schematic standpoint. Doesn't he play the same position as Hazard? If I'm not mistaken Reus is basically a more developed Shurrle?

                              Shirley and Reus are different actually, Reus is far more proficient with the ball at his feet. As for positions, Reus and Hazard would just swap sides continually throughout the game, Reus currently does this with Auba at Dortmund.

                              I'd say calling Reus a more developed Shirley is slightly insulting to Reus, he is Germany's best attacking player.

                                Rob Beasley is reporting that Shurrle is fighting for his Chelsea future and can be replaced as soon as January. Rob Beasley is a pretty credible guy as well.

                                Perhaps this sums up his selfishness and desperation to score goals as of late.

                                I'm hoping we can somehow get the Reus swap done. If we throw in a plentiful amount of cash I think Dortmund would bite.
