Echo is reporting that we're interested in Andre Schurle, always liked him as a player, quick, hard working, reasonably skilful, can play accross the front line and has a rocket of a shot on him.
{Ed002's Note - Another EPL side has been looking at Schurrle in recent weeks and has spoken with his agent.}

He would complete City's new attacking trio in place of the great but aging and increasingly injured Silva so I hope it's not them! An underused player at Chelsea.

Spurs?

Is it confirmed which club that is out of interest ed002.
{Ed002's Note - Spurs.}

So does this rule us out or have we showed a genuine interest in him? I've liked shurrle ever since Leverkusen and he was actually pretty good for Chelsea. I don't understand why Chelsea would get rid of de bruyne and shurrle.
{Ed002's Note - There are reasons both left Chelsea, in the case of Schurrle he had not been playing very well, a good offer was made and the club asked him if he wanted to go - the answer was "yes" as he thought it best for his career. Wolfsburg know of interest from Spurs - and that has been ramping up in recent weeks, and they know that prior Dortmund interest in replacing Reus with Schurrle has now gone. They don't know of interest from Liverpool.}

i hope he does not come, he is over rated and when you see him play, he often loses the ball. let Spurs have him, he will only warm their bench.

I think he would be a very good fit for a trio with coutinho and firmino. I'm starting to think it less likely we go for a wide forward however as I think it's looking more likely milner and lalanna will stay? This would again leave us overstocked unless ibe and ojo get loaned and markovic goes but I don't see that as too likely either though.
I would like us to go for someone like schurle if we do go for an attacking player, think we need someone direct with pace and power and of decent height that provides goals, someone in the bale or schurle mold.
