What Chelsea need to complement their attacking qualities is a winger like Schurrle, a player who is direct and can create space and opportunities for others by simply running at the opposition and penetrating its defense.
When all else failed in the World Cup final, it was those qualities that helped deliver the trophy to Germany for a fourth time.
Make no mistake, Schurrle's a rising star of the game and will be on hand to repeat his heroics for Chelsea in the years ahead.
Silly season it may be, but should Chelsea allow their German to depart for any price, there are plenty more adjectives that would better describe the move. Crazy is at the top of the list.
