Chelsea are reportedly close to signing young forward Victor Moses according to a number of media sources, including BBC Sport, who say that Wigan have set an £8.5m asking price and it’s up to the Blues to meet it.
The story goes on to say that our chief executive Ron Gourlay met Wigan chairman Dave Whelan on Tuesday to discuss a deal for the 21-year-old and would like to complete the deal quickly so that we can include Moses in the squad to travel to Villa Park to play against Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday.
Wigan’s initial asking price had been £10 million and Whelan said that he would not stand in the player’s way if he wanted to leave, as long as the fee was met. Now the fee has dropped to £8.5 million which suggests a compromise between the two sides and if that’s the case, it’s not going to be long before Moses becomes a Chelsea player.
Roberto Di Matteo is said to be keen on Moses, who only scored six Premier League goals last season, but fired late into the season which helped keep Wigan away from the drop and he put in a good performance when he played against us at Stamford Bridge last season.
It seems as though many people, especially from the comments I have seen on Twitter, believe that the purchase of Moses would mean an end to pursuing Porto’s Hulk or another attacker. But I think he’s being brought in to replace Salomon Kalou, who left the club and joined Lille on a free transfer this summer. Moses also has homegrown status which is particularly valuable, especially if Daniel Sturridge was to leave the club this or next summer amid interest from Andre Villas-Boas’ Tottenham.
The fans have been divided over this particular rumours, would Moses be a good addition and is he good enough to play for a club like Chelsea? – Have your say in the comments below.
Moses can play any rol d boy can strike,he can play winger wat else fuck u patrick.
Moses will be a very good addition to chelsea squad because he has all d abilities dt a winger should posses and as for you patrick i won’t blame you because u don’t have what it takes to be like him.UP BLUES.
Moses is a player wc is needed by chelsea due 2 his ability ,dribln,speed,sharpness&other attribute wc a gud striker shud av,paritric stop being a fool
If Victor Moses eventually joins chelsea, he would definitely be a massive addition to the squad. He is not a selfish player like Daniel Sturridge. He can play from the flanks and can also play as an assistant striker. He’s also a player who has a vast experience of the EPL. Big signings don’t eventually live up to expectations e.g shaun right-philips,torres,lukaku,andy carrol, but players who are not big-money signings are the best eg anelka,ivanovic,duff,robben,marin….up blues….up moses
Moses wil b a vry gud adition 2 d team.he as got al d qualities a winger shuld av.ask me y e terrorise d defends of d big 4 last season.if we can get moses,chelsea is gud 2 go.lets invest on dis guy.8.5m 4 a playa like moses 4 me it is 2 small.lets capitalize on dis n 4get payin 2much 4 hulk dat we cant predict weda he may flop.up blues,1 luv.
Patrick responds as if he has a problem with moses. If moses is de worst player in the world, then how on earth will chelsea scout spot him and have made four bids for him. U think ur better than those scouts? If U are, then I wonder wat ur doing here when U should be writing ur own article on chelseadraft.com
Moses might not be a drogba or an incredible hulk, but statistics proves that he made the most dribbles on EPL. No doubt RDM will give him a try and he will be a big player for us atleast better than Solomon kaluo. Chelsea should get him, the price is so reasonable compared to that of hulk besides, hulk is not doing so incredible at the Olympics unlike the likes of neymar oscar and lucas. No strings attarched, infact am a big fan of hulk but am just been real.
God bless ChelseaFC
YES HE IS A GUD ADDITION TO CHELSEA SQUARED BECOS HE HAS D STRENTH ND AGILITY 2 SCORE GOAL.SO I WIL LIK HIM 2 PLAY AGAINST MAN CITY ON SUNDAY.
