Wishlist Robert Lewandowski

[Sheva. 5,373]

No, because I don't think Lewandowski is on Gomez's or Higuain's level.

Saying that, Lewandowski is too good to come here and be some sort of second choice striker. The point I'm trying to make is that we shouldn't spend £25m+ on a player who isn't going to be our first choice striker.

Torres has the capability to score chances that will be created for him inevitably with the team we're building. So does Sturridge.

If he didn't cost more than £20m then fair enough, but anything above that is overpriced for anyone's who's not going to add anything different to the team.

It's money wasted as I'd rather have other areas in the team completed first.

I agree Lewandowski is not at their level (yet) but that reason you gave for him scoring a lot of goals for Dortmund could be applied to many other top strikers.

Anyway who said he's not going to be first choice? he's certainly good enough to be one.

At Dortmund he started out as second choice to Barrios but eventually fought him off and became a regular starter this past season.

And finally, yes Torres can convert some chances, but i still think we need another striker. And someone not 40m expensive (plus 200k wages)

he is a very good striker if he join us torres and storidge & maybe hulk will be a reserve

torres no good enough we need other striker like lewandowski or hulk but hulk 26 and lewandowski 23 so he is better for long time

It won't be Hulk and Lewandowski, it will be one of them only I am sure. I have doubts about Torres but even if we buy another striker, I still think Torres will start as the no.1 striker to prove himself and he looked quite sharp in the Euros. Also you are being too cautious about the age factor. Even if Hulk joined, 26 is a good age to see out some good years at the club. Just look at Drogba for instance, but like you I would like to see Lewandowski here

I don't think it will be Hulk, and the fact there isn't much news about lewandowski makes me think it might not be him either... Could be an example of where we scurry around towards the end of the season trying to find a third striker.

I also get the feeling Lewandowski will not move to us as I am sure he will only move to a big club where he is guaranteed first team football. I wouldnt mind Adebayor though even though I am 99% we will not get him but we can get him on the cheap but I really rate him. I wouldnt mind Dembele as a makeshit CF/CM as well

More belgiums lol... Don't particularly want adebayor, as others have stated in other threads someone like Dzecko would make for a good 2nd choice striker, though i doubt he would be sold for cheap, or Demba Ba, which i have said many times, though doesn't look like its even on our raydar... Could even be Moses, if we can agree, or more specifically Whelan can agree and not be a dick...

This. And he knows that he cannot be guaranteed first team football with Torres in the same team. Torres deserves one last chance next season, and if he continues to disappoint, then he will have to either accept the bench or fuck off for good. And then I'd welcome Lewandowski with open arms.

It seems that the vast majority of Chelsea fans have no faith in Torres for next season, and this is why I think he will surprise us all.

I wouldnt mind Ba as well despite reports his knee is like a time ticking bomb lol but his release clause deadline has passed so he won't be allowed to leave on the cheap. Gourlay said we are still in the market for 2 players, wonder who they are. One RB I am guessing and maybe a winger or striker

I agree with you totally, I would like to see Torres bang in the goals for us and be the premiership top scorer. I admit I have my doubts of him still but no matter what pressure he feels I am 100% supportive on having another striker to show that Torres has no easy ride in the first team and we can have someone already proven ready to step in if he goes on a goal drought again

what price of lewandowski?

Honestly, I think we've got that "other" striker in Daniel Sturridge already. If Torres fails to produce next season, I'm confident Daniel can step up. Daniel can be just as good as Lewandowski, maybe even better IMO.

Guarantee you if Sturridge played for another team he'd cost £20m at least, and people would be courting about how we should sign him.

I am not a believer. But we shall see i guess.
