Lewa is top 10 all time Champions League scorer, 10 goals away from climbing to top 5. He didn't have a great CL campaign this season, but the past two years before he scored 8 goals in 9 games, and 9 goals in 12 goals. Pretty much on par with his Bundesliga goal scoring ratio. 

Diego Costa didn't produce in the CL, but was plenty effective in PL. i bet you wouldn't make the same assessment. 

Fair point, I'll give you that. But would you say his performances have been as impressive as his goalscoring record?

I don't see whats the problem is with lewandowski being near 30 did we not sign makelele Zola and ballack  when they were near 30? If we can get him for a good price I would sign him 

It isn't that I'm against seeing Lewa in a Chelsea shirt. I love the way he plays football. He is the complete striker in every sense. I would just prefer us to find somebody slightly younger so that we can build a solid foundation. I don't want us to desperately look again in 2 years time. It would be better if we got this and other positions looked down and concentrated on the way we play football. We all talk about how we want to play vibrant,  attacking, free flowing football but we simply do not have the squad to do it with. It doesn't happen over night either, especially with us. We have played defensive, counter attacking football for a looong time now. Also we will be building a new stadium soon so I would rather get somebody younger so that we don't have to worry about buying someone else with rations during that stadium build.

I'm  sure we would all prefer an Isco or Dyballa but the way I try to look at the age thing is with the midern games Drs,Physios etc SOME players CAN carry on longer. And with contracts not really worth the paper they are written on players regularly dont see out 4 year contracts so IF Lewa can give us 3 or 4 years of 20+ goals and some assists it would help us alot to get back into contention and who knows - we MIGHT be able to sell him on to US or China after??

Not everyone is purely interested in money...

If we are indeed going after a new main striker (which I still highly doubt) my preference of this we've been linked with is Icardi, then Lewandowski, then Higuain. But unless we offered mega wages I can't see why any of those 3 would come here when they could probably go to just about any other big club which has CL football.

They would be my preferences too. But we really should at least TRY to give Sarri (IF we do get him) his MAIN choices. He may see something in his choices nobody else sees.And if that will help give us that attacking fluidity he brought to Napoli it cant be bad.

But if we are penny pinching over 4 mill euros to buy him out I cant see us putting our hands in our pocket for £75mill eh!

Who are these other big clubs? Outside of Real Madrid I can't think of a club who need a big money striker and can afford the wage demands.

City, unless Pep has intentions for playing a false nine for large parts of the season.
