Why would you need more than 2 strikers for one striker spot when you have Schurrle and even Hazard to fill in if needed?

Because players get injured, suspended, tired, etc...

[Special Juan 28,133]

Yes certainly do given that we are not entirely sure the 2 who are staying will acutally produce goals for us consistently.

Eto'o is a blank canvas, complete and utter stab in the dark like most transfers. But we must not allow ourselves to think "Ah well Schurrle can fill a void" We need the right players for the right positions.

Torres worries me still. Torres and Eto'o would just be worryingly thread bare, if the board haven't learnt they want shafting with a red hot scaffolding pole.

As I have stated, loaning Lukaku OR Ba is great. But loaning Lukaku AND Ba is terrible!

Why? When was the last time Chelsea used 3 strikers? In a one striker system, you just need 2 strikers and a third player who could fill in in an emergency. That's it. Right now, we have 4 strikers and Schurrle.

What does that have to do with my facist joke?

see? I keep saying I'm not smart enough and people won't believe it.

I thought you implied I was drinking

I didn't get your joke. Or the theories. Or other jokes.

My 3yo don't tell me that stuff, my boyfriend is the most innocent and naïve person in the world. I'm too harmless and slow to make up those things - or even understand them.

but I seem to be a good cheerleader from what I gathered from this gate.

Now let's move on to the transfers before a new theory arises and I look clueless again (hint hint I am clueless)

[Weckerz 3,781]

Because players get injured, suspended, tired, etc...

Yea ok, but isn't that exactly why you have TWO strikers for the one spot? I mean sure, a 3rd doesn't hurt but is it needed? I'm not convinced

The Chelsea striker carousel.

That just sums it up...

Seems a bit annoyed..

I fucking love this thread!

Chelsea needed a third striker many times last season!

It is not only about having someone to start the game, you also need a good option on the bench for when things are not going well. It is actually quite obvious we need 3 strikers...

[Special Juan 28,133]

Let's not go down this route again of "He can play there blah blah blah" We need players who are fit for a position we aren't Bristol Rovers, we need the maximum we can provide and putting people like Hazard or Schurrle into these positions weakens us elsewhere.

[Barbara 15,149]

Guys, it's pretty clear one of them is going, not two.

I guess Chelsea is working on both fronts and will do the best deal out of the two, but not the two.

[bushman 2,043]

How is ensuring he gets the playtime he needs/deserves fucking him up?

And tbh, no player is bigger than the club.

Also your attitude discusts me. I would tell YOU to fuck off, spit at Jose?

Since you have no clue here, I would rather if you vanish & do not respond to me!

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

he is 20 for god's sake. do u expect kalas/ake to beat jagielka and distin? plus he goes to a team like everton where he will take some time adjusting to their style of play and all. WBA is a much better option.

Yes, he's 20 and scored 17 last year. Everton plays a lot like Chelsea. Jelavic and Kone are no Eto'o (even not an aging Eto'o).

Good move if true. Very good move.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts ... for they are the most dangerous of enemies.

France football writer Matt Spiro: "Paris St Germain have pulled the plug on midfielder Mathieu Bodmer's proposed move to Nice. Bodmer is certainly not the same kind of player as Juan Mata, but this may be a sign that the French club are not confident of getting the Chelsea man."
