I think it's option two.

Cause he can play striker and AM I'm assuming. I didn't want to sign him either. With his signing there's really no point to buying Cavani unless we're getting rid of both Torres and Ba. I'd sell Torres and have Ba, Schurrle and Lukaku as strikers.

 

[Jenks]

He's probably planning to offload Marin.

He's probably planning to offload Marin.

Haha, I totally forgot about this guy. There is Moses as well...

 

[DonAndres]

He's basically the German Robben. Never passes, always cuts in, and skies most of his shots. Efficiency and teamwork seem to be foreign terms to him and his presence will likely have a more negative impact than a positive one. Without him, other more deserving players would get more time.

 

[antonnn]

Lol, and I've read in places he's a striker. Some websites have no idea. I heard he had the most shots in the Bundesliga last season and only scored 11 goals. He's pretty much like Bale with the whole cutting in and shooting thing.

Damn it why did we sign him? What a useless signing, and for that price too? I hope Jose isn't pressured into using him due to his price tag and the fact Chelsea chased him looong before Mourinho even considered coming back. I was never convinced on why we should be signing him, I had hoped that us keeping De Bruyne meant his deal was over. Oh well, what can be done now? Please Mourinho, if he's shit, don't use him.

Marin v2?

Schurrle is a very good player Anton. I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised with him next season.

 

[Jenks]

Solid if unspectacular.

 

[DavidVillano1]

Bayer Leverkusen have got the better deal by replacing Schurrle with Son, who IMO is a better player and was cheaper.

 

[Gauss]

The only half decent back up we had for our three amigos was (not so good) Moses last season.

Whereas noow we have Moses, De Bruyne, and Schurrle. So I'd say he adds a much needed depth.

In fact now we could probably afford to rest/sub off all three amigos as this isn't so bad in itself:

---------------------- Striker --------------------------
Schurrle ---------------De Bruyne-----------------Moses


If Mata isn't playing we put Oscar inside and put De Bruyne on right wing. This is still as good.

Van Ginkel should retire now !

Mourinho is obsessed with attacking midfielders. Remember when he signed Modric for RM last summer, even if they have Ozil and wondered what is the logic of that.
