blizeH Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Why is there no thread for this guy already? Very highly rated by Hiddink, is a big Chelsea fan and has said that Lampard is his favourite ever player. Interesting article about him here: The 19 year old who'll be better than Arshavin and four more young Russians Dzagoev is regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in Russian football, after a superb 2008 season for CSKA Moscow. The 19-year-old possesses great technical skill, electric pace, a willingness to take players on, an eye for a pass and the ability to score from free kicks.Comfortable with the ball at either foot, Dzagoev is also a quality finisher – which rather predictably has seen him labelled ‘the next Andrei Arshavin’. However the start of Dzagoev’s career has proved more prodigious than that of the Arsenal superstar, and the signs are he could surpass the former Zenit forward. What are we waiting for?

Virosh Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I think his name has been waved around in other threads. I must admit I don't even know what he looks like, but if all they say about him is true, he sounds a great prospect I fully believe if Hiddink has advised us to get him, we would have at least made an attempt to do so and even if he doesn't arrive this transfer season, we might as well see him at a later time, allowing him more time to develop and get playing time is a strong league. In Guus we trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good point, but if we were going to do that I'd much rather try and sign him now, then loan him back to CSKA for a season or two than I would wait, run the risk of losing him or his transfer value going through the roof.

evissy Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The 19 year old who'll be better than Arshavin These are always funny lines to read. How the h*ll does anyone know how someone will be in 8-10years..Why does anyone write these, makes them seem like idiots. Anyway, would love us to land these young promising players. I think we are front runners to any Russian player and Roman is first to talk to anyone there so these deals could be made in the background without anyone noticing.

kalpitv Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Just read the Daily Mail or shall I say Sportsmail article that first revealed that Zhirkov was on his way to Chelsea, and found this interesting sentence in the very last bit of the article. Chelsea are also thought to be interested in CSKA's 18-year-old CSKA midfielder Alan Dzagoev, who could be part of the deal. CSKA said they would not comment on 'rumours and gossip'.

TheWestwayWonder Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 If he is 19 and still learning his way in Russia, it makes me think we have an agreement for a transfer in future, or have paid for first refusal or something. I think that would be best for us and the player Eitherway, he claims his favorite team is Chelsa and his favorite player is Frank. Hopefully thats accurate and he actually wants to come here if/when he blossoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Dzagoev would be great! If we can get him this transferwindow thats good. But he has stated earlier that he want's to stay a bit longer, becaus of his age. CSKA-manager has also said he is willing to sell all his starplayers for the right price and early enough so he can get replacements. Great believes in this kid! If we could get him, we have Mikel and Dzagoev to take Frank and Ballacks positions when they quit Chelsea! Zhirkov and Dzagoev please come!!

ace Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Yeah, management needs to get a deal in place for his rights, but I don't think we'll need him in London this upcoming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Just came over this: Chelsea are understood to have first option on the Moscow club's rising star Alan Dzagoev. The 18-year-old has already been capped twice by Hiddink and Abramovich's club are thought to have an agreement to bring the midfielder to Stamford Bridge before his 21st birthday.

calscott Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I think this guy is a must, he would be someone very exciting to put into our ranks along with sturridge, it might even be a good idea to send him out on loan in the epl to gain some experience in engalnd if we buy him Edited June 25, 2009 by calscott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWestwayWonder Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) This is a simplistic comparison made off youtube videos, but this kid reminds me alot of Giovinco at Juve. He is small, quick, squirrely and has an excellent touch out there. It looks like he already has a deadly final ball that he can use to release a teammate on goal. However, he does seem to have a thing for diving. The video showed him being cautioned several times. Still, that will work itself out after a few years. A very very exciting prospect did you? blimey, you really got excited by that didnt you... :D that took me a minute :) (to understand the joke, just for clarification) Edited June 25, 2009 by TheWestwayWonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evissy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Roman being russian and his whole influence in russian football federation could turn out to be very good for us in the future. Their national team is very strong and they all are young players. I mean Arshavin is probably one of their oldest players. We need to use our connection to Russia and bring in these brilliant youngsters. I hope we get Zhirkov and this Dzagoev guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
