Ba - Lukaku - Dzeko Thank you very much. These are the types of strikers we need. Speaking separately from this Gomez topic, we don't need more Number 10s that will run around the facilitate. Our midfield is more than capable.
Ba feeds about 30 people back in his home in Senegal. The man is a legend. I remember in his old Bundesliga days and his tandem with Vedad Ibisevic. Can't wait to see him play.
Take a look at this. Look at the goals compared to the minutes he's given. This is not factoring in today's goal which would put his tally to 10 if that "own-goal" would be given. So 9 goals in in 716 minutes, and then 89 today, that means 10 goals in 805 = a goal every 80 minutes. Last season he averaged 81 I think. Brilliant. He'd score for fun with our midfield and the run of form Torres gets.
His last goal is "technically" an own goal off the keeper even though it was his hattrick. Shame for him because not only is he a good player but he's got the right mentality for any team. Scores some important goals too. Would love him here as a Drog replacement.
If this happens we will have one of the youngest, most talented, and dangerous midfield in the world. We already do but Pjanic would put it over the top. Do ettttttt
Pjanic's prime may be ahead of him, but he's a player you can plug into the starting lineup RIGHT NOW, not in the future. He's not a wonderkid or a talent anymore, he's starter quality and he's only going to get better with the years.
He's been Roma's best player the last 4-5 games since Zeman has embedded him in his starting 11. He's also a free-kick specialist which is wonderful. Here is his goal against Lazio in the derby recently;
I watch him for Bosnia-Herzegovina as well, and he's always the best player on the team, even at such a young age. Already has something crazy like 50 NT caps (including friendlies) under his belt. Here is also an article on him: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1448034-chelsea-transfer-news-miralem-pjanic-would-be-perfect-signing-for-blues
Milan are interested in Pjanic, as are Tottenham and Barca. Jose Enrique was so impressed by him that he personally recommended him to Barca. Can we please not let him go to the evil power? Lampard replacement with real fire in his belly. We need him.
Off day? From what I've seen of him he's an engine with technique and even scoring ability. You need one of those on your team. My Bosnian mates wont shut up about him.
