Well sorry, but if we spent this money on a guy who cannot hold down a position in his current team, when all players are fit, I would feel Chelsea have just made themselves "mugs" in the market.
WTF kind of bollix point is this?
Higuain didn't hold down a place in that side, Varane has gone through spells where he doesn't get played. Robben struggled for starts, so did a whole range of other insane footballers.
Terrible remark.
I agree, the figures going around are too much - considering he's not starting most games for Madrid. That being said I'd still be excited by the signing.
To be honest, I'd prefer spending that money on Verratti.
Loan with an option to buy? Fair enough, but I feel we would be getting seriously ripped off on a guy who i feel has not done anything yet to merit the fee.
Even if most of that fee is paid by an Oscar transfer to China.
---------------
You are about to get £50M (or more) for Oscar.
what goes around comes around........
He cant get in a side with Ronaldo & Bale on the wings and a midfield featuring Kroos and Modric.
He's also no striker so where would he play?
No shame in him not starting in a team with that much quality IMO

if was REALLY worth £75m, then my opinion and i'm not expecting you to agree, he'd be vital to his current team.
show pony with an apparent bad attitude who scored a 1 good goal in a world cup,
and for the people who like to throw stats around, we can look no further than mezut olzil
we would be daft to sign him and i am sure that their are players elsewhere at a fraction of the price where we can invest, LWB being one
Laxalt who we have been linked with looks a hell of a player
signing rodriguez would imo set us back in terms of having players willing to run through walls and hinder us in terms of future purposes
one of
Laxalt
Danny Rose
and pipe dream of verratti should be signed ahead of him imo
It's not as if he hasn't been a regular previously, he was in the team before Zidane took over.
Very good player and for Oscar plus a few million it's a good deal.
He cant get in a side with Ronaldo & Bale on the wings and a midfield featuring Kroos and Modric.

exactly, also throw in isco in there with kovacic and its abit different when you trying to break into the Chelsea 11 despite how well they've been playing

I do feel Alonso is in need of competition.
I'd also like, going into next season for Moses to have competition.
For what its worth I'd rather us go for Verratti though
http://metro.co.uk/2016/12/21/is-james-rodriguez-an-upgrade-on-chelseas-current-forwards-or-an-unnecessary-luxury-6336830/
here are some stats,
people always underate the players we have in our team, usually the younger fans who want to see big money signings all the time that relate to their fantasy squads on FIFA
the glaring fact about James is he offers alot less than the brilliant Pedro Willian and Hazard to an all roudn game
wouldn't suit 3 4 3 at all
we should steer clear
He's not an upgrade. Spending 75m on a player show is not even an upgrade reeks of stupidity. Let united buy him.
James is young and a good talent. Currently he is frozen out of Real. Zidane doesn't fancy him. I don't think we will pay 75M for him. If we get him for loan and option to buy(35-40M) that is a great deal.

"Well sorry, but if we spent this money on a guy who cannot hold down a position in his current team, when all players are fit, I would feel Chelsea have just made themselves "mugs" in the market."
Just because he didn't have a big impact at RM doesn't mean he won't perform well for us. RM is a funny club. Sneijder and Robben were both unwanted by them and Inter and Bayern benefitted from it. They helped their new clubs win the CL. James can have a similar impact for us. He's expensive but let's see it as a swap for Oscar. Juventus did similarly when they spent most of Pogba's money on Higuain.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
its very simple
He will not have any impact becuase there is no room for him in our side
He is not quick, not compared to Pedro willian and hazard
we generally have a very counter attacking mindset so hes not getting in the team over pedro or Willian any time soon
He is vastly inferior to hazard, hazard is on another planet to him so would be a backup at best £75m for a backup ......?!?!?!?
its a completely unrealistic transfer, you cant have a 60m plus player taking oscars space ont he bench, someone will have to move out and if you think it would be a good idea to faze any of the current starting 11 then i feel bad for you and you fall into the FIFA Ulitmate team generation who want every star name crammed into their squads,
We do need depth but players with functional attributes that work within our system and have the mindset to match.
look no further than deigo laxalt at genoa,
a player who can play LWB and AML
Hard working, quick and technically gifted
this is who you want as a january signing and would be more than half the price

He can play as a RFW in our 3-4-3. He's left-footed so would complement Moses well. Yes Pedro and Willian work hard but their final ball is lacking and Willian's decision making is frustrating at times. The amount of times we mess up a good counter attacking opportunoty due to poor decision making is annoying. James would provide the creativity and intelligent play we need to unlock stubborn defences in this league.
I don't see why buying James and upgrading other areas such as LWB in our team are mutually exclusive. I see this deal as a swap for Oscar. We surely have the fund for other transfers as well.

they are mutually exclusive because we dont have the money to do both things
we spend quit a bit in the summer
we are about to post large loses
and we dont need James
we dont need James because willian occasionally gets a decision wrong
you'd miss willian if he was gone trust me

Terrible remark.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think it does raise a question of value though ...£75m for non regular is a lot, whatever the team......the value is no there at £75m for a player who still has much to prove.
Also....if we are going to pay £75m then the player needs to have proven he has the ambition and hunger. James seems to have been happy to live of the plaudits of the last world cup rather than fight his arris off for a regular starting place at RM...............
He may well be the real deal, but for he ain't proved it yet and for that reason..............at £75m I'm out!
Thats not a bad point in terms of value, but it shouldn't take anything away from the player himself.
Considering he is a superstar, with a huge marketable appeal, who is yet to hit his peak years, and from a club such as RM; £75m is hardly absurd in this backwards market.

we are about to post large loses
and we dont need James
we dont need James because willian occasionally gets a decision wrong
you'd miss willian if he was gone trust me

The stat is based only on this season so it's frankly a ridiculous stat. I can use last season's stat and come to the conclusion that we should swap Hazard for Walcott.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
put james into your Chelsea ulitmate team on fifa then
any sensible fan will know and see we don't need players with bad attitudes, sub par work rate and a "superstar" mentality
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I just pointed out a false logic in the stat and you came back with a childish response. I thought you're interested in a debate. If you have made up your mind why do you bother posting on here?

Well sorry, but if we spent this money on a guy who cannot hold down a position in his current team, when all players are fit, I would feel Chelsea have just made themselves "mugs" in the market.
WTF kind of bollix point is this?
Higuain didn't hold down a place in that side, Varane has gone through spells where he doesn't get played. Robben struggled for starts, so did a whole range of other insane footballers.
Terrible remark.

I think it does raise a question of value though ...£75m for non regular is a lot, whatever the team......the value is no there at £75m for a player who still has much to prove.

Also....if we are going to pay £75m then the player needs to have proven he has the ambition and hunger. James seems to have been happy to live of the plaudits of the last world cup rather than fight his arris off for a regular starting place at RM...............
He may well be the real deal, but for he ain't proved it yet and for that reason..............at £75m I'm out!

Thats not a bad point in terms of value, but it shouldn't take anything away from the player himself.
Considering he is a superstar, with a huge marketable appeal, who is yet to hit his peak years, and from a club such as RM; £75m is hardly absurd in this backwards market.
