KaKa Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Real Madrid have sacked Finnish striker Eero Markannen from their B team after he allegedly returned from holidays having gained 18 Kg He claims it's untrue and has posted a touched up photo on twitter: http://estaticos03.marca.com/imagenes/2015/08/25/futbol/equipos/real_madrid/1440506700_extras_noticia_foton_7_1.jpg Apparently we have a young finish player in on trial this week.

Parsley Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 As much as I disagree with the move for Stones, Chelsea could probably use another centre-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Everton should hold tight for 12 month. He'll be worth much more then or worst case scenario they get the same. 4yrs left on his contract. Ball is in their court. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The only reason I think it might go alright for him is the lack of quality competition at centre half. Having said that he does make some bad mistakes as most young players do but I'm not sure Mourinho will tolerate that. Odd signing for a Mourinho team really I don't disagree with this logic, I just think Chelsea are fuckwits who chop and change every five minutes and pretty much anyone who signs for them will end up on the heap in a year or so. Unless they sign Ronaldo/Messi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 If it were another manager I would have high hopes for Stones at Chelsea. Terry is old. Cahill isn't a top CB. Say Zouma replaces Terry, Stones is good enough to jump Cahill and Terry within 12 months imo. But Jose will Jose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm surprise Mourinho wants him as he doesn't seem like the type of centre back he likes at all. As in at the moment Stones likes to be a footballer first and a defender second. I mean to me he looks classy fuck, but he just doesn't seem your usual Mourinho defender.

According to rumours. Markkanen isn't good enough anyway. And yea, ofc it's not true that he gained 18kg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Chelsea are a cancer, it's a shit move for his career, but at least he's doing it properly.

Interpolic Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It's silly timing as he'd have benefitted from another year or 2 at Everton. Do think he's good enough to make his mark there though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 You'd like to see him stay at Everton but it could easily be a fantastic career move for him. He'll learn from Terry and could eventually replace him, going on to be Chelsea's main CB. They've obviously had a few options over the years but it's not one of the positions they've really chopped and changed; certainly not recently. Cahill and Terry have been mainstays for the last three seasons. The risk is that he probably won't get too much time to be what they want him to be. If he doesn't look the real deal in 12 months time they'll obviously just sign someone else. It's a risk but as far as English lads going to City/Chelsea, it's one of the more understandable ones.

The College Dropout Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Think Carlo is the best manager around at dealing with a group he's been "given". He'll not continually ask for a wide player than not play em. If he has no wide players, he'll build a system around what he's got. MOurinho has a tactical/team template and if it doesn't fit.. you don't play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as? I can only think of Ramos at CM. I would say Di Maria at LCM is his best position. Think Isco & James are versatile players. Bale at RF worked well.
