there really isnt many top strikers out there who can make chances for themselves at the highest level, i can only think of Suarez, Benzema, Ibra and Aguero when he is on form, Benzema could be a realistic signing in the summer but without CL football probably wont happen, Ibra is out of contract in the summer but he will probably want to try and win the CL before he retires and may end up at Man United

Aboubakar should be our number 1 target for a striker, Icardi is very one dimensional, he is quiet all the time in games, only comes alive when the ball is in the box, Aboubakar looks the real deal

yes but he didnt have the playing style to suit what Jose wanted, if Vardy didnt hit the ground running under Ranieri and Okazaki did then Vardy would probably be out the team right now.

well he was one of their best players when he arrived though, i wouldnt give Ranieri much credit for continuing to play him

you have a lot of faith in him, we will see, tbf he will probably get at least 2 when he plays against us.

it wasnt Ranieri who gave Vardy his chance...

yes he proved himself in the Championship, which is where i think his future lies

20 PL goals? or are you counting Europa League goals as well?

and he was given the chance out on loan and proved himself, Bamford hasnt

last season was last season, Michu and Andy Johnson once looked great in the PL, he is a good young striker, whether he is good enough to become a truly top class striker, who knows but the jury is still out for me.

if he was good enough, no doubt Pardew would give him regular game time, Bamford is too limited to make it in the PL imo.

3 against the worst team in the league, Bournemouth, 1 against a manager-less Villa and 1 in the Europa League in his last 3 games, and then 1 today against a injury hit and fatigued Arsenal team, i am not convinced by him yet.

bad miss! its looking like Leicester's year.

I heard he missed a sitter to win it for City, how bad was the miss?

Stoke sat back for most of the match, i didnt think Matic was bad but didnt think he was very good either

at this point i do feel its best for us to finish 3rd in our CL group and go into the Europa League, if we can get back into form in 2016 we should be able to win the EL and get CL football next season.

he only made 1 interception, i wasnt impressed with him again, still way below his best

wasnt as bad as people are making out

i think its true what Pacquiao said you are obsessed! so tired of seeing this stuff!

i dont think that was a dive there was a clear push in his back, when running at pace with the ball that push was enough to put him off balance. I just cant think of good chances that he has missed this season, also our 2 most creative players from last season (Hazard and Fabregas) have been poor this season, for me the service just hasnt been there for Costa.

he clearly doesnt though, and the numbers back that up, what good chances has he missed this season?

cant agree with that, a striker is only as good as the players behind him, if you dont give your striker service he simply wont score many goals, its not like Costa has bad movement like Torres, Costa has very good movement, but just doesnt get the ball played through to him often enough, i would agree with you if Costa had missed a lot of good chances this season but i cant think of many chances this season that i can look back on and say 'Costa should have scored that' I can see the frustration some have with him this season, at times he does try to over do things and tries to take on a whole defense on his own and he does drift out wide a lot, but i feel he does these things as he is frustrated with the lack of service he gets, so he tries to do things on his own and he drifts out wide just to get involved in the game, because if he just stayed up front with our slow build up play he would barely get a touch of the ball

i dont think many strikers would be doing well for us in our current situation

he is currently leading the vote

shows how bad we are in attack! It must be very frustrating playing as a striker for Chelsea right now
