Chelsea Legend 11

what are you talking about? the kid's a beast and a goalscorer! How much football have you watched in your young life? And its not 18M its 12M plus performance add ons

Actually we were linked with Marin earlier in the year. And there is no reason to speculate over names that haven't been linked to us especially since there are plenty of names that are. Its sort of silly to keep making suggestions about players who aren't likely to move

Agreed. I don't know why people keep mention names that either a) we aren't linked to or haven't given any indication they are even going to be transfered.

You don't think every team in the world wants to find transfers like that? Honestly if coming into the season had Chelsea spent 2M on Michu as our answer to fixing the striker situation everyone would be up in arms. Small clubs make gambles like that Big clubs go big!

EASY FELLAS we're all Chelsea fans here! no need for name calling! We need a striker. I think the need for a midfielder is lessened with Luiz playing in that role, he's a fantastic footballer.

I'm thinking Walcott and a proper CF even someone like Bony (still hoping for Falcao)

Bony untested in bigger leagues and competitions. Ba huge injury risk. Cavani the same price as Falcao

I just don't want to have the problem of having to address the striker position again, Falcao makes perfect sense in that regard. I won't be disappointed if we don't get him but if not him we need to grab someone who is in form.... Any names?

For the record I don't care who it is between Cavani and Falcao both are class and would produce in different ways

this is what I'm concerned in. Big goals in big games, who is the best at getting those types of goals?

Well then there will be no strikers available in your price bracket. Napoli won't sell for less than his buyout and in Dortmund they have no reason to be sellers.

would you pay £48M for Cavani?

Love Jackson Martinez! If and when he builds his reputation in Europe he'll be another big player out of Porto. Lewandowski is nothing like Drogba, not even close! I like Cavani a lot if it ain't Falcao I'd gladly take Cavani.

Who? Because I think we need someone like Messi....

Every player has a bogey team see Messi v Chelsea Besides didn't look like his teammates were looking for him much, perhaps preparing for life without Falcao! LOL

didn't change my mind.

His release clause is exactly the same as Falcao's actually

That could be the case but that's no reason not to bid.

I do think 98M on two strikers is ridiculous but we can't let the mistake that Torres was hinder the club's ambitions. It was a mistake, move on... Shakhtar beat us at home, they only have to worry about CL because they are in a poor league. No not necessarily, it could take loads of pressure off the pivot since we'll be banging in goals!

Hear, hear my sentiments exactly!

Easy the wages he's on performance incentives. Similar to Hazard. If it comes down to that we won't get him, particularly if we miss out on top 4

Oh boy... Was Cavani world class before he went to Napoli? Falcao went for about as much as he was worth after two great seasons at Porto, has he done anything to diminish his value in La Liga? See Falcao for Aguero. A players value is dependent on their history and form... Its really quite simple we're meeting Falcao's buyout so we can get him now. If we wait till the summer there will be a bidding war for his services between City, PSG, Real... If we miss out on CL there is every reason to believe he will go somewhere else.

Agree to disagree this is an asinine debate son.

Agree to disagree.
