Roman Abramovich and Chelsea still interested in Brazilian Neymar da Silva
According to various reports, Chelsea is looking to re-spark their interest in Brazilian teenage sensation, Neymar da Silva. The player who is currently employed by Santos has previously gone on to turn down attempts by the Blues to sign him but it seems
like the team is willing to risk it all once again and launch another series of bids to secure the player.
It seems that it is not Carlo Ancelotti who feels the need to bring in the nineteen-year-old forward but in fact the owner of Chelsea, Roman Abramovich himself. The Russian is being reported to be willing to spend up to twenty two million pounds on the forward.
What is surprising about the situation is the fact that the team has just spent seventy five million pounds this January during the transfer window and secured Fernando Torres and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542. This new acquisitions have yet to pay off for the club. Some observers
believe that it is not a good idea to bring in a nineteen-year-old, who despite being rather good for his age, just isn’t the sort of player you would want to spend so much money on.
Neymar made his debut with Santos in 2009 and has managed to make a total of a hundred and fourteen appearances so far. In those appearances he has managed to score fifty seven goals as well. Nonetheless, the fact that he is actually playing in the Brazilian
league is a point against him. The Brazilian league is not considered the very competitive when compared to euoropean leagues.
Neymar also just doesn’t seem to be cut to be a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 player just yet. The forwards game relies mainly on pace and flair, while Chelsea tends to operate with brute strength and precision passing. This difference in approaches to the game, between the player
and the team could be one of the reasons for them to snap him at such a tender age but it still doesn’t do justice to the ridiculous price tag on the players head.
Either way, if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044. Both Drogba and Anelka are currently in their thirties and set to retire soon and with Carlo Ancelotti looking
to build the team for the future, he could perhaps let go of the more aged strikers on the side with a pat on the back and a thank you.
This is because even if the duo leaves the team, they would still possess the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076, who is set to return from Bolton at the end of the season and Neymar. On paper those three could make a phenomenal strike partnership.
However the lack of experience for Neymar and Sturridge could potentially do more harm than good to the side.
It is still unclear as to whether the Blues will go through with the move for Neymar but with all due respect at this current moment spending twenty two million on a nineteen year old above average player is just ridiculous.
