Wishlist Robert Lewandowski

[Muzchap 8,966]

Fixed it for you.

Wow - what about a defender Fergie?

He's definitely going for 'we will score more than you approach'

Could this be the signing that undoes Utd

[The Skipper 20,609]

He won't go United if he has a brain.

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

Agreed think we are getting obsessed with something that's not needed

I blame Torres for that though, we've forgotten what a great striker does, so everybody is focusing on the wrong things

I actually think it's the other way around. People are focusing on Falcao because of Torres.

Noone wants to go through another striker that can't score and pisses away easy chances so now they want a striker that excels at finishing.

Yup - indeed

Although I was referring to link-up play - just anybody right now would do, I'm literally past caring, every other teams strikers are on fire - we have a damp squib!

Knowing Fergie, wouldn't trust what he says but make this of what you will...

Sir Alex was also quick to refute reports that a deal has already been agreed to bring Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski to the club at the end of the season.

"It's nonsense," he asserted. "Absolute nonsense."

Just came across that on Redcafe...

I'm racking my brain for other examples, it's very difficult. Robben for 12 million wasn't a bad investment, but that was ages ago. Sturridge is probably our best under 8 million signing in a long time, and I think Mata has probably been worth double what we paid for his transfer fee (which was still very high).

Mind you, every good investment Chelsea ever made in recent years has been nullified by Torres. At least we have Abramovich's near endless pockets to make up the difference.

Ivanovic was another decent purchase. According to Lokomotiv he was bought for the fee of €13 million (£9.7 million). I'd call that a very good deal. Moses too? Around the £10 million mark. Oscar could turn out to be a real steal too, £18.9 million according to Wikipedia. £7 million for Cahill, also acceptable. Ramires may not be in the same category, but €22 million is not overpriced in my opinion.

Of course Chelsea is known to pay big fees for "finished product" players, but that's what it takes to stay at the top. Due to the massive spendings at Romans arrival, clubs would want more money from us, compared to United, since they know we would be able to afford it somehow. City is starting to take that role now, and our recent signings, albeit Torres of couse, have all thoroughly solid.

I like Lewandowski,think he's a really good footballer.I think he's only gonna get better too.

Did I specifically said that Falcao can't link up the play and play 1-2s? He can but is he good at it? Not convinced.

And if someone like Falcao doesn't excel in linking up the play etc, then obviously the team playing approach would become different by playing a certain way that caters to the strengths of the ST. Perhaps, it's a similar case to what we're doing with Torres at the moment.

Falcao has specifically been told not to get involved in link up play. He's been instructed to have the minimum amount of touches he can before putting it in the back of the net. As little as 1-2 quite often.

[DDA 9,924]

Everybody over analyzing football again. Just give the striker the ball and he should put it in the net weather he takes 10,000 touches or 2. A strikers job is to score, end of, something both Falcao and Lewandowski do very well.

Lots of story going about in the media saying that Lewandowski's is Guardiola's primary target and he will join Bayern come the summer.

His contract is expiring in summer 2014 by the way.

[communicate 2,703]

I don't mind lewandowski. But we need to move at least one of our striker before signing a new one. Currently we have 2 3 in Torres, Lukaku and Ba

[Jase 43,479]

Daniel B.@dan_bu

Dortmund have given Robert Lewandowski permission to talk to other clubs. Reportedly already agreed personal terms with Bayern. #SSNHD

Assuming if the reports of him joing Bayern isn't true, then I desperately hope we will be one of the clubs looking to get him!

[Hamilton 2,120]

Probably will be Man U then..
