At the moment, our condition is considered weaker than last season. So, from the non biased view, it should be Spurs as the favorite. Giggs comments are very biased.

Ah yes, maybe I mixed it up a bit with the formation and stuff. But if I remember correctly we did play Schurrle as a striker in several occasions.

We've sign Eto'o at 29th August.. when we only have Demba Ba as a striker with the 'true false 9'. If I remember correctly we play false 9 system with Schurrle several times back then.

Jose Mourinho heaps praise on Manchester United new boy Romelu Lukaku: 'I like everything he does... he's now a top striker' This cannot get any weirder

This reminds me with the summer when we are linked with Cavani, while he is still at Napoli. Who we get back then as the new striker?

My thought from the words 'a bigger role'. Seems we're not in any rush to sign a striker, and also with no sign of playing with 3 midfielder formation, to keep Baka, Kante and Cesc playing, we might go for false 9.

A sign of using a false 9 perhaps?

Maybe Conte tell them the idea of using false 9 next season.

Looks like the board have not made any move yet. Maybe waiting for something to happen first.

No one interested then. All are BS rumours.

We will buy at least one striker this summer for sure, maybe along with one wing back and one midfielder. Filled the empty spaces with youths and we will be set.

We have the CL football, and we can offer him the same or even bigger chance of play and salary than Milan. Think we are more than capable to do this. Even if we believe the Lukaku rumour is true that we match MU bid, they have the CL football, offer him and his agent more money + Rooney. Not a surprise we're losing that one honestly. Anyway, personally I don't believe the Lukaku rumour is true though.

Let Milan do the bid first, and then we hijack it.

Anyone else get annoyed reading the words "after losing out on Lukaku" in every Chelsea related articles? Fucking sick of it.

Actually it is much, much better than we let him go to MU

Arsenal are basically City reserves, if they want Sanchez, Arsenal will give him to them.

At least it is over now. Time to seek his replacement.

It's true. Moses (suspended).

So, let Milan get every player they want first then. After that we pick from what is left. Maybe we can offer them Matic, Zouma or Costa too.

Yup, would be great as the second or third choice striker. Hopefully Conte will give him a chance.

He is world class striker. Considered in top 8 best footballer in the world. German teams are usually very strong in defense, yet he is scoring for fun there. He will be a great signing.

Think that both are versatile players, can play in the middle or in the wings if needed. Looks like we are after Danilo, so I think maybe only one between Ox and Mahrez, that we're going to sign.

Question of the day, which one do you prefer, Ox or Mahrez?
