Victor Moses signs for Chelsea

[Spursidol]

Down to the last year of his contract and wants a change from Wigan.

Could fit into a 433 system nicely - but as a far less experienced winger/striker than Hulk (but also much less expensive in bith transfer fee and wages than Hulk).

Looked the main man at Crystal Palace aged 18/19 but only really started to shine last seaso at Wigan - or am I being unkind ?

Slight disadvantage is that although he played for England youth he seems to have opted for Nigeria (and the African Cup of Nations).

Anyone think this is one of the few times that a player exchange might work - Wigan wanted Gio previously, so Gio for Moses anyone ?

 

[daryl]

jenas ang gio for moses would be nice

 

[tobi]

I like him, he'd improve playing/training with better players, looks coachable too.

Unpredictable player but the English premium needs to be considered though.

Gio only wants Spain.

 

[sweyid]

I'm a big fan of Moses and he keeps on impressing me. He needs some coaching and tactical discipline though, but there's no doubting his skill and potential. Would very much like to see him at Spurs.

 

[Hakkz]

Any guesses on what he would cost?

 

[Mr Pink]

I think he has great potential, he impressed at the back end of last season....he's a got a bit more to his game than some think.

Anything under 10 million, would be about right IMO.

 

[Spursh]

Not a fan

To call his decision making 'rash', is putting it kindly.

Prefer Hoilett & he's out of contract. But to be honest, they'd both be quite a way down on my list of wingers

Is he not a Nigerian?

 

[AUSpur]

Is he not a Nigerian?

Yes, then no, then yes.

"He accepted a call-up in March 2011 for Nigeria's games againstEthiopia and Kenya.[15] However, he was ruled out of those games because his application to FIFA to switch nationalities was not received in time. It was announced on 1 November 2011, that FIFA had cleared Moses and Shola Ameobi to play for Nigeria.[16] He made his Eagles debut as a substitute on 29 February 2012 against Rwanda."

 

[tobi]

English premium as in inflated price tag, not his nationality.

Surely if he felt he was good enough for England then he wouldn't have applied to switch nationalities,,

 

[AUSpur]

Or he may have felt a pull to his native land. I suppose that pull could have been the call up to the national team, though.

I thought he was excellent for the last few months of the season, a big reason as to why Wigan were doing so well. I don't think much of Hoilett actually, Moses has more to his game IMO.

As somebody who could provide plenty of versatile cover for wider areas I think he could well be worth a punt for the right money.

His physicality would be more of a change of speed, so to speak, from Lennon.

There are quite a few good players with dual nationalities who opt for the "lesser" side. Benny for Cameroon and Boateng for Ghana, for example.

No thanks, just a young defoe.

would he be cheaper than sturrdge? that's the question

 

[tobi]

I doubt it given the tension between us and them.

 

[micmay]

I think GDS maybe better than Moses

 

[BillyWhizz]

He had a handful of good games at the end of last season I doubt this is enough to get our interest yet, he was awesome against the scum though I'll give him that.

Think we'd also need a translator along with him has anyone ever heard him talk? Fuck knows what sort of language he speaks
