[DDA 9,570]

Why can't we look for our very own young Lewandowski.??? Why do we always have to buy a player past his explosive prime??

He’s still arguably one of the top 5 CFs on the planet. If we have a chance and don’t take it because of his age we are stupid.

He would have joined Blackburn if it wasn't for a volcano. Could have turned out to be Modeste or Kalinic

We went/were going that way under Mou until he fucked it up, so can't say much else at this point.

Never going to happen, but its exactly the striker we should be after.

Funny how life turns out. It's all about choices coinciding with fate.

If he's to join us at 29, then he's not/no longer a top striker.

So, if he does join Chelsea, then we probably didn't need him that badly and should have looked elsewhere for more adequate (longer term) options.

Pietro Pellegri, we could have signed him for £25-35m or so in January

16 yo, youngest player to score a brace in Serie A history, joint youngest Serie A player ever, already big, tall, strong, fast, cannon shot.

Monaco have him now, so in 2, 3,  years , if he lives up to his vast potential, he will sell for well over £100m

Yes hes talented but he has played 8 games of football in his whole career. And that brace are the only 2 goals he has scored this season. 25-30m for somebody who has played 7 games in Italy. Actually surprised we didn't try sign him because we like expensive young players who have not proved very much, I generally am unsure if he will ever become a top player. I think hes obviously got some talent but he will need what 4 or 5 years playing every week to grow as a player? Why did he not stay at Genoa and do that? Our own Lewandowski? People have been complaining about us signing up and coming players and not more established players for a while now. This just defeats the purpose.

He turns 30 this year. So, can't wait for us to pursue all summer only to then realize his age and not offer more than 1 year+ contract and we end up signing some dud from Ligue 1.

A 30 year old Lewa is better than Morata could ever hope to be.

The main reason I posted him was to answer the other poster as to why dont we buy our own young potential (emphasis on potential) top strikers. Last year was the year to get him on the cheap. I say we revisit this in 3 years and see how good Pelligri turns out to be.PiPetrPell

One more striker to sit on the bench... why not ?!

According to Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea are one of a handful of clubs who have been in talks with Pini Zahavi over signing Robert Lewandowski.

if it happens its safe to say he will more likely end up at Real, more chance to succeed there than at Chelsea to be honest, altough i would love to have him in our ranks, but Real have more lure and more Champions League aspirations than us, sad but true

Someone tell the board that he is 29 so they don't chase him all summer then find out on deadline day.
