Never seen him play but he's the same age as Bamford and we also have Solanke coming through, and both of those have bags of potential.

 

Drogba won't be playing with us next season and there's a possibility Remy won't be either so it will be interesting to see what happens on the striker front.

I don't know much about him other than that he is an attacking midfielder and a wonderkid on FM. 

 

In Lazio’s 4-2-3-1 system, Anderson usually starts on the left of the ‘three’. He is naturally right-footed but is still comfortable on his weaker side, as shown by his left-footed goals against Inter Milan and Roma. He is quick, with excellent close control, an eye for a pass and a powerful shot. The Lazio coach, Stefano Pioli, is working hard to improve Anderson’s tactical awareness and his appreciation of defensive duties.

 

9 goals and 7 assists in 1248 minutes at 21 is impressive even if you keep in mind that it is 'only' Serie A. He would cost quite a bit though and personally, if we are going to spend big, I would be looking at players in the 23-27 age bracket who have shown they can do it for more than one season.

He's a winger, not a striker. definitely has potential.

Looks a real gem.

However we need to give our own youth a chance insterad of buying everyone else's.

I second this, we have bertrand traore and bamford who can both play wide right. The only young winger I'd be happy to take a punt on, would be memphis depay.

Sorry my bad.

21!!?!?!? that guy has more wrinkels then me!! no way is he 21!

Think he signed a new contract in the past few weeks.

 

He's a talent, I've seen a few Lazio games recently and he is one to watch for sure. Think he will stay at Lazio for another year at least and then they will cash in

I would wait one more season before signing him. This his first great statistical year, could easily fall of into mediocrity the next but he is still young...

Saw Anderson and instantly thought of the fat f**ker

That is another Brazilian we can cross off the list that has been linked to Chelsea, next

I hear Pele was spotted in England recently... Could be a good replacement if Drogba retires, I've read somewhere he's got a decent scoring record (on the pitch only mind, apparently he had a few troubles off the pitch)

Depay plays lw and personally I hope we steer clear of him.

God no, not Depay. Hasn't he been linked to Manure, btw (one of the gazillion players being linked to Manure)?

I know it's Pele, but can he do it on a cold wet night in.. oh never mind.

Saw him during Lazio's game against F Fiorentina. Made a good run from the left wing and committed the defender into sliding in to give away a pen. Looked tidy, nothing spectacular. If he's a right footer who who plays on the left, where would he fit with Hazard playing?

Sounds like bollox to me
