According to The People, Hamburg striker Heung-Min Son is on Chelsea's radar. 

The 20-year old Korean forward has been tracked for quite a while by the likes of Tottenham and Liverpool, and apparently Chelsea have now also joined the race to sign the youngster from the Bundesliga club. 

Heung-Min Son has a 1:3 goals to game ratio, which is quite impressive at such a young age in such a strong league. 

He has also played for the South Korean national team twelve times.

Depends how many goals in how many games he has.

 

 

Averaging 1.3 goals a game when you've only played 5 games is a bit misleading.

17 in 60 over his career, 9 in 20 this year. He can play across the front of an attacking band, but generally is used on the right.

I don't know why but the title of this thread is making me very hungry.

Lovely cheers for that.

 

Looks impressive statistically I must say.

 

 

But then I remember Kezman and the excitement recedes a bit.

Why is Kezman always brought up when a rumour comes up about an up and coming striker from mainland Europe coming to Chelsea? Judge the player on his own merits.

Okay, Kalou then.

 

 

Basically Kezman is the best example of a player bought into Chelsea whose statistics looked fantastic and then they completely underwhelmed.

 

So while the idea of signing a player with a (slightly under) 1 in 3 goals to game ratio appears great it does not mean much in the grand scheme of things.

I'm just tired of hearing the "...yeah, but Kezman, blah-blah-blah..." EVERY time.

Why not Drogba?

I wonder if this thread will be longer than the Hulk one .. ?

As I said, Kezman was the best example of a Chelsea player who "failed" to live up to his goal scoring reputation.

 

He was signed from PSV where (according to the ever reliable Wiki) his record was 122 appearances and 105 goals. Even if he was only half as successful with goals to games at Chelsea he would still have been an outstanding success but he wasn't.... Which is why he is the example used.

 

Why not Drogba as the example? Well because of:

Would that be "Incredible"?

I asked about Drogba, because he is one shining example of a big hype player coming from mainland Europe and being a success. Not an instant success story, mind you. Although he wasn't bad in his first season, he did struggle a bit and the fans gave him stick for it. When a new rumour comes up, I think only once has Drogba's name been mentioned in such a case, and even with Lukaku, I think people were pulling out the Kezman card.

Well I suppose the main difference with Drogba was that he was what 25 when he moved? So he was already quite well "developed" as a player so you was closer to buying an end product as apposed to potential. 

 

Other than that I suppose Drogba is the anomaly as apposed to the norm?

The actual number of posts in the Hulk thead is 2642. Frightening indeed.

Drogba was a late bloomer and he started proper professional training when he was already an adult. Before making the move to Chelsea he'd only had two good seasons in the French league, so I don't think it's a bad example. If Drogba had come to Chelsea a season later than he did, I'm sure people would have had doubts about him and we'd probably have seen the Kezman card being used as reason why we shouldn't sign him.

We can do it.

Get everyone on the site to post here at least once, even if it's random chatter that has nothing to do with the player that the thread was made for...

Hello.

Nice day today.

Torres...

On a more relevant note he scored a cracker of a goal on the weekend against Dortmund which I can't seem to find a video of at the moment.

Do it in the Torres thread, so sane people can ignore the trolling.

Good striker from what I've seen, very average on the wing but then again he's not a winger. Still, if we are looking at a striker it should be someone a lot better than this guy otherwise we might as well just use Lukaku.

Just realised, Hamburg is where Frank Arnessen is now isn't it?

 

He probably owes us something for all the players he pinched from our youth ranks.
