Wishlist Robert Lewandowski

[Mufassir08 2,400]

But anyone can pay them 25 Mil. KDB would be what would seperate our bid from everyone elses. I am sure everyclub who could afford it would pay 25 mil for lewy.

The clubs that are interested in him so far are united and bayern.Now i am sure dortmund will try their best not to sell him to bayern especially after the gotze transfer and i cant see him signing for united until they sell rooney and make space for him.I believe if we act quickly then we can wrap this deal up before june 1st for about 25m but the longer we wait the more parties will get interested in him and it wil become more harder for us to sign him.

I cant wait to see kdb when he comes back because listening to you lot on here he must be a mix of zidane,mata and jesus!

I know! Kdb looks a real talent but if selling him means we get Lewandowski then its worth it! De Bruyne looks good but still has a lot to prove.

For those of you who don't watch enough Bundesliga games, the two legs basically summons up Lewandowski quite nicely. In the first leg he was quite amazing, although i could make a case Pepe had a lot to do with Lewa great performance but i wont go there. Second leg showed why many people who follow him on a regular basis are not that convinced, he bottled so many chances and could've ended Madrid hopes much earlier.

Exactly!

Pay 25M and bring him to chelsea? I dont buy it. Things wont be so easy. The most tricky task will be persuading him to join us instead of bayern or real madrid. that will be bloody difficult. if he finally had come, it would be enormous work done beneath the media, and we should be grateful for the luck.

If you change the nouns, the exact same thing is applicable to Cavsni and Falcao. When it comes down to it, pick your poison.

I kinda agree.

The one thing that probably sets Lewandowski apart (except for his age and comparative 'cheapness') is that he already plays in a similar system to the one we're employing. Stats don't tell the whole story, but if you look at where the goals come from in the team, then Atletico really do build everything around Falcao.

Falcao has scored 26 goals in La Liga, but the next highest scorer only has 7 (Costa) whilst Garcia and Turan only have 5 and 4 respectively.

Lewandowski has 23 goals, but Reus, Blaszczykowksi and Reus have 12, 11 and 10 goals respectively.

To me the Dortmund side more closely resembles what we're trying to do with Mata, Hazard and Oscar (or Moses, De Bruyne and possibly Schurrle) expected to chip in with goals too. We've never really been a team who get all our goals from a striker, even when we had Drogba in the team and I don't expect us to start doing that next season.

That has been one of the great things about our team over the years. We spread the goals out and aren't reliant on any one player.

Hazard and Oscar could easily score 15-20 a season each. Mata already does that. Moses is in double digits. Then there's Ramires who chips in with a few. We may lose Lampard's goals but Schurrle, currently on 14 for the season in Germany, would make a great addition.

That's why our forward needs to be more than a tap-in merchant. He needs to have a good all-around game, link well with our midfielders and just be an intelligent and technically good footballer. Basically all the things that Torres isn't.

100% agree with that. You've taken the words from my mouth.

We have mids that can score a lot of goals per season. Chelsea has always done this, everyone is expected to chip in goals, unlike Atleti where everything goes through Falcao or in the past Forlan and Aguero. I'm not saying that Falcao won't succeed, just saying that the circumstances are different.

I like Falcao, he isn't my preference but I wouldn't say no.

It's like that girl you don't really get along with, but you know she is available and a great root. You wouldn't say no but you are holding out for something more suited to your tastes.

I agree with TOPTB but hasn't most of our switched in fans been saying this about Lewandowski for a while now. It's been obvious for a season or few that Dortmund is like a finished us! Though if we get it right I do believe we can be better than what they were this year!
