He was never going to feature much until next season. This time next year is when we can start judging the transfer.

Carlo Cudicini
Won't he be very upset. If he loses his WC chances on our bench?
Not the move he planned to.

He wasn’t in their squad before he signed
The egyptian
Carlo Cudicini
He used to be before this season. And I know it's not our fault but one of the causes why he move out PSG is trying to save his WC chances.
Bedfordspurs
Martin Peters
You sure?
I assumed he wanted a fresh start at a club that values him but what would I know

Paul Walsh
He’s played more with us than he did w PSG. And when he comes off the bench to score the winner in the semi it will help husband WC place (and remember it was I who said we’d top our CL group after the draw).

Jose Dominguez
Of course, I don't see anyone judging
I'm sure he knew it would be difficult to get into this team straight away. The only thing is that if Son, Dele and Lamela stay around for a few more years then he might find his chances limited.

Things can change very quickly, as we have seen with Son and Lamela. Poch likes to give players time to settle in and tends to rotate less in the run in. I don't think that Moura's lack of appearances is because of his quality, I think that he was always signed for next season. He'll get plenty of games when we have league, Champions League and League Cup games next autumn.

Even though Moura's not seeing much game time, the fact that he's here now means he will go into his first Poch-pre-season already knowing the system, already knowing his team-mates' way of playing, the fluidity of their positions on the pitch, how to interact with them etc, as well as presumably already being accustomed to the tough training regime (although maybe not quite so tough at this end of the season). This should make for a productive pre-season as he won't have to be learning everything in a short period of time and that I think will be invaluable at the start of next season.

It's good that we got him in January then, so he is already bedded in.

Rafael Van Der Vaart
Exactly, he joined us because he hoped to play so he could earn a berth in the World Cup squad

Andy Thompson
That was always the case IMO, IE - he was a buy for next year.
If he can contribute this year, then fantastic, but I dont think that was ever really the intention.
Bedfordspurs
Martin Peters
Not that I saw but obviously I wasn’t involved in the discussions
I’d be stunned if we even got to that level of discussion on the basis he was joining a better side than his current one
NaijaSpurs
Rafael Van Der Vaart
Maybe you are misunderstanding me, I am not suggesting for one moment that there were conversations between player and club, rather I just gleaned that from his public comments he made about his lack of playing time and comments that he was leaving because he wanted to play and also wanted to get back in the national team.
Bedfordspurs
Martin Peters
Why wouldn’t he want to get back in but he would have to get past the guy who took his place in his last club
NaijaSpurs
Rafael Van Der Vaart
Well we need 3 wins assuming Chelsea win all their games
