Ketsbaia Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Atsu, Gabriel, Gray - on their own they're ok signings but to spend £20m is a bit underwhelming. If the £70m budget is true, there's a decent chunk already gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Atsu, Gabriel, Gray - on their own they're ok signings but to spend £20m is a bit underwhelming. If the £70m budget is true, there's a decent chunk already gone. Gabriel Pires was is rated 196/196, I.e. the worst, on midfielder (combined) stats for la liga... Soriano from Villreal is best performer (on their criteria) with 1,014 points. Gabriel Pires has -228. http://www.squawka.com/football-player-rankings#performance-score#player-stats#spanish-la-liga|season-2016/2017#all-teams#midfielder#17#42#0#0#68#22/08/2016#20/05/2017#season#1#all-matches#total#desc#total Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Pires seems an odd one then, he's still pretty young at 23 though. Rafa must see something in him and I'm happy to trust his judgement over Fifa 17 or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I got talking to a Leganes fan on Twitter who rates him very highly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Assume Pires will have had to have gained Italian or Spanish citizenship for him to get a work permit. I see he was at Juventus for a while Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Reckon those late-season goals will make him think he can get in their side tbh, particularly if there's still uncertainty over the future of Diego Costa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Can't see us having any chance of signing Batshuayi on loan until the Diego Costa situation is sorted out at Chelsea. Big money involved so it could drag on all summer, i wouldn't want us be waiting until to end of the window to get a striker in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Why would Chelsea let Batsuite go when they have the Champions League added to their fixtures next season, that would be nuts unless they intend to buy another striker, which would be nuts as they already have Batfink.

Of course they will, it's Chelsea we are talking about here. If he stays he'll be exactly in the same position as this year assuming Costa actually leaves. I have no doubt they'll spend big on a striker though, probably Lukaku. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlito Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Definitely see Chelsea going back in for Lukaku. Didn't Lukaku say he wants to move back there? Anyway I'd love to see us get the lad in on loan. To me he'd be one of the most positive signings we've made in years. From what I've seen of him he tends to play quite similar to Lukaku. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Still think Lukaku could backfire for a top club. His linkup play is poor and he's very streaky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
