But the question is, do we take a punt on that by not approaching a striker like Falcao this summer? Because if he doesn't step up, we're fucked again till Jan.
With Smalling out Roy might be forced to pick Terry. Jagielka's been a shadow of his former prime, Rio got nothing on Terry this season and Jones is still pretty raw. Though a snub will work just as well for us, so either way it's a win-win as fair as I'm concerned.
They're the best by reputation, but both command enormous transfer sums and wage-demands. We shouldn't buy both, if I'm brutally honest, I wouldn't be complaining but they'll need to deliver for us properly if they are indeed 'replacement'
Just careful what you wish for, with your excitement. As I said in the Hulk thread, no more excitement about 'big names' from me till they prove they can do it in a Chelsea shirt.
Because we're not Real Madrid who just dismiss good talent ahead of the 'big names.' (then again, Torres & Drogba instead of Lukaku for most the season..)
Brilliantly summed up by Goal. Incredible finisher in front of goal, I'll never forget his ability to just be there in the right place at the right time. Time and time again he proved how good he was at doing so. For Man United, Real and all other clubs he played for.
