Could be a good deal. More than good enough to cover for Ivanovic and will give us an attacking threat from that position, something we will lack once Bosingwa leaves.
Question marks over his defensive ability though but I think he is good
Ive heard from a few people that Van Der Weil is just like another Bosingwa? Anyone seen him play quite a few times and know how good he actually is?
Like Bosingwa indeed, good attacking but defensively poor.
Chelsea should just hire me lol. Hitting the marks time and again. Perfect addition imo, good rotation player, halfway between Boswinga and Ivanovic in terms of attacking and defending
I think thats the reason why some are hard on him, we have seen what he can do but he never done it on a regular basis.
Very smart way and as i said when it was announced FFP was coming teams will find ways around it.
We did indeed, seems as if we were both right about how we would get around it.
I have heard we are pressing Samsung to make an improved offer.
Basically in my eyes it will keep the bigger clubs big and make it harder for the smaller clubs to catch up and have a chance of success.
Am interested to see how he does, will look at some of his stats in a minute and post them to see how he compares to other known right backs.
Can't be worse than Bozzy's lol.
He looks in a right mood lol.
Think people are very critical of his defending to be fair, he is pretty decent at it and he is only 24 so plenty of time for him to improve. His attacking ability is very impressive however. Would add an extra dimension to our attack if signed. Ivanovic on the other hand is a fantastic defender but not very good on the attack.
So again depending on the opposition, Van Der Wiel will give us another option should we need one
You're not getting around it, just complying. Nothing wrong with using your CL revenue, in fact thats the whole point. Still a gamble mind
I would still of chosen Azpilicueta over Van Der Wiel personally.
The speed at which we have moved in the transfer market makes it obvious that we have been planning this for some time now. I suspect Mike. was right when he said a month or so back that AVB and Roman had worked out a number of players Chelsea needed to sign in the summer and now Roman along with Emeleano are acting on that
Agreed. But I think Azpilicueta would have cost more.
Anyways Van Der Wiel is just a rumour as of now. By no means a done deal. So we could still go for Azpilicueta
It's a gamble which is within the rules and pretty smart if you think about it. Instead of paying for deals upfront pay a little upfront and the rest over a sustained period. I think that also allows you to offer more because it's easier to pay which makes the selling club more likely to sell. Very smart indeed.
Just saw that VDW only played 13 league games last season, injury?
Most clubs pay for deals over a period of time. Except City and Real Madrid.
Everyone will have to if they want to spend big from now on then, well that's until Uefa bring in another rule banning clubs from doing this.
United have been doing it for a long time. It's much better business sense for a well run club.
That pay over period of time is not way around or way to comply for FFP. It's the way Uefa count every transfer towards FFP.
If player signs on a 5 y deal for 50m transfer fee Uefa will count it 10m per year for those 5 years eventhough Club might pay it upfront.
If player signs on a 5 y deal for 50m transfer fee Uefa will count it 10m per year for those 5 years eventhough Club might pay it upfront.
But some clubs do it anyway as its easier to handle in finances, United amortise fees over the length of the contract, which is why its wages, and not fees, which drive our transfer business.
What is 'amoritisation' exactly?
