I remember there was a rumour about this last year... Definitely the kind of player we need.

Maybe it'll be one of their songs he chooses to sing to the team! That would be class.

Don't think Ash will find them too funny.

Do the daily hate approach Chelsea transfer policy by making up as many stories as possible in the hope one will come true?

Yet another player I've never heard of. I must begin to follow football outside Chelsea...any good? Anyone seen him play?

yeah he's alright, would prefer Hazard &/or jovetic (especially as he isn't cup tied). Barcelona & Arsenal both scouted him previously.

Not in the Shakhtar squad today.

So around £25m? Hmm, haven't watched him nearly enough to tell if he's worth it. Probably the best we can get in January though.

Weird way to handle press in Shaktar. They very openly post at the teams website news like this. We'd never do such a thing.

The price looks steep for a relatively unknown player. I have no idea is he good or not but after that dire 0-0 I'm willian to try anything.

Not really sure what the Shakhtar website is saying really

Either way an international Brazilan attacking midfielder/winger will do me just fine. Anyone will do.

Though after what ive just watched id take Grant Holt up front for us, he looked more dangerous and more interested than most of our mob today.

Seems to me they are saying we can have him for 30m Euros but not for 20m - which means if this is genuine and we are truly interested then we may end up getting him for around 25m.

personally i'd prefer to try for Hoilett from Blackburn, similar player would cost less and has premier league experience.

Its saying chelsea have made a move so we are going to try and get a bidding war started by making it known. Our am I just being cynical.

[Zeta Orionis]

Is he better than Malouda? Bcause that's all that's important at this stage really.

[Andreas]

Just the kind of player that we need, saw him against barca and he was rippin it!

Anyone is really but they are mugging us off, he's nowhere near a £20m player.

Agree, 10-15m would make him a good signing imo. January tax though!!!

[Castiel]

WAGNH have done a scout report on him for those who haven't seen much of him (myself included).

But they're saying they paid nearly the same amount when they bought him and his profile has only gone up since then so its understandable they would seek some profit from the sale.
