Apparently a deal may not be far away. Sounds like a great prospect, may sound the end of Luis though.

 

Thoughts?

Di Marzio tweeted about him.

 

I'd prefer Gaya to be honest.

Didn't Gaya just sign a new contract?

I remember the last Baba we had at left back... Bad times.

Don't you dare Fc.....

Does this mean we can sing 'baba black sheep have ye any wool?' at games? If so, sign him up!

LOL!!!

Baba is currently the 7th ranked player according to the latest Bundesliga player index with an average of 2.9 interceptions, 3.5 clearances, 1.4 dribbles, 0.5 shot blocks and 4.8 tackles – the highest tackle rate by any player in the Bundesliga

You don't need to comment that on every rumour thread concerning a player you haven't heard of. 

Apparently Arsenal are sniffing around. 

 

Don't they sign a new left back every year? 

No I think that's us.

No I think that's us.

we've signed 2 in 9 years.

Chelsea are leading the race to sign Ghana defender Baba Rahman from Augsburg, sources have told ESPN FC.

According to WhoScored he shows the following (statistically):

 

Tackling

Very Strong

Aerial Duels

Strong

Dribbling

Strong

Concentration

Strong

Ball interception

Strong

 

 

He really looks solid

Looks very Ashley Cole(ish) obviously dubious with only seeing this video

If we did sign him, then what does that mean for Azpi?

You think Jose is going to drop Ivan?

Hard to imagine that Ivanovic could loose his spot since he stand for the one of the best backs in the world. It is more likely to see rotation between Azpi and Baba.

Azpi is a far better defender than Ivan.

I think most people know that, problem is Jose would never drop Ivan regardless of his form.

Well, Ivan makes some mistakes in defense, but he is not center back. Wing/full back should have offensive qualities, and that's where Ivan is one of the best in the world. Unlike Azpi who, in my opinion, has very low offense for Chelsea standards.
