Chelsea Legend 11

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.

Those types don't get sold. That's why we this is a rare opportunity. Van P went for half as much as Falcao but he's 2.5 yrs older. Ibra is in his 30's that's the difference right there.

100% agree! no more young wonderkids we need players in their prime, they don't come cheap though

Bilbao last year would get destroyed by Utd this year, no question about it... Too many goal scoring options to have to deal with. My opinion. Regardless you look at every top side they have a formidable striker, who is ours?

not bad... I like the fact that Falcao has done it in two leagues, Cavani and Van P haven't.

Regardless, you can look at any formidable team in Europe and I guarantee you will find holes. What you won't find is a lack of finishers. Edit: and don't mention Utd last year to formulate an argument this year. They have Van P now, they would merk Bilbao now.
