Wishlist Robert Lewandowski

Who would you suggest then?

Well, personally I don't think we really need a striker per sé, especially if Lukaku performs well at WBA and comes back to challenge.

But, if we were to spend quite big on a striker I'd rather Llorente or maybe even Loic Remy than Lewandowski.

Like those last 2 are gonna come cheap. And besides, Villa is already into his 30s. Still class but don't think that falls in line with our policy of buying young and upcoming talents.

I didn't say anything about them being cheap.

Not that again...

Decent choices. Llorente's contract is expiring next summer and Remy is versatile, can play at ST or out wide though he has a bit of a heart problem.

I hope we will also buy some more experienced players too. Around 27-30 yrs. I dont mean some ageing players who have everything past them, but players like De Rossi, Toure,...still can offer lot and are very important on big matches. I dont want us to become Arsenal 2.0 with more young player buys.

35 million is a big price, he's one of them strikers who you can consider as a gamble though, i think he would be worth 35 million mind but i could be wrong also.

Like for example you buy Falcao or Cavani you know they will be good, because they just have that much quality. Torres - 50 million, Torres was amazing but he was very poor before we bought him it has to be said and he suffered many injuries.

Lewandowski, i'll be honest i would rather get someone like Loic Remy, he is more than likely not going to be as good as Lewandowski but the money is much much cheaper and i think it's a much safer way. Like i wouldn't class Lewandowski in the same class as Cavani or Falcao, there just buys where you know they will be good, well at least 95 percent chance. As for Lewandowski he's a gamble, and 35 million is a lot of money.

i would have took Lewandowski in a heartbeat this summer once Lukaku`s loan had been agreed...

i`ll reserve judgement till the next transfer window on if we should sign him then or not.or any other striker for that matter..if we had to decide today,i`d say we should sign no CF in the winter window,but we`ll see when it comes..lots can change in the time between now and then.

This is the guy who i want leading the line for us next season! such a good all round striker who is still very young and could be unstoppable with Mazacar behind him. I think we will sign someone like Demba Ba, Bony or Jovetic in January then go for Neymar, Lewandowski or Falcao in the summer. Neymar isn't very realistic so Lewandowski would be my 1st choice.

THIS is a striker who works for his team, anyone watched last night's game ? He won almost all duels against Pepe/Varan.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

3rd on the list. Good all round striker.

[Madmax 9,219]

Lewan's neither very clinical nor very quick but what he really excels at is bringing those around him into the game. Holds the ball up very, very well and is just the kind of guy upfront you want if you're looking to support him with midfield runners. He can convert rubbish defensive clearances into opportunities at the other end by making the ball stick to his feet till the cavalry arrives or flick it on to send someone clear on goal.

3rd on the list. Good all round striker.

Agree.We Chelsea fans are so spoilt.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

for me he would be my 2nd choice behind Falcao.

Borussia Dortmund are no longer ruling out the departure of €25 million-rated forward Robert Lewandowski at the end of the season, CEO Aki Watzke has told Spiegel online.

Lewandowski, 24, is under contract until 2014 - meaning Borussia would need to sell him in the summer in order to bring in a large transfer fee. He is attracting interest from clubs including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Manchester City.

Contract talks with the Poland international have been on a hold for some time, and he is reported to be eyeing a move away from the German champions.

"If Robert does not extended his contract, we will proceed as always," Watzke said. "Us three [coach Jurgen Klopp, general manager Michael Zorc and Watzke] will sit down together and discuss what to do next. The result is totally open."

He said Dortmund's aim remained to extend Lewandowski's deal but that if contract talks failed the club would look to cash in. Dortmund signed him from Lech Posen in 2010 after lengthy negotiations.

Earlier, Dortmund had ruled out the possibility of a move away for Lewandowski, saying they would rather keep him for the last year of his contract and then let him go on a free transfer.

After Borussia's mid-week 2-2 Champions League draw against Real Madrid, in which Lewandowski set up both Borussia goals, Real boss Jose Mourinho told reporters: "Lewandowski is a very ,very good player. And he is nearing the end of his contract."

We're not linked with him. Rumors saying he is closest to Juve.

Then again we were not linked with mata.We came in for him very late and managed to pull the transfer off.Btw 25m is a very good price for somebody like lewandowski.
