Hd123 5 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 We only need a striker if torres leaves in january. And why would we want a cup-tied player in that case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevemayer 764 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 barrios is a fine striker but not chelsea class at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonPride1905 236 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Funny as it may sound, I prefer Vargas over him. Barrios is not cup tied I think he is perma-injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanicus 5,208 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Here's a rumor you most likely have not heard heavily reported. Yet it is arguably one of the best possible deals that Chelsea can make this transfer window.Lucas Barrios, has found playing time hard to come by this season after Robert Lewandowski replaced him in the starting lineup while Barrios was injured at the start of the season.He has made only three starts all season long, and has made his displeasure with his situation very clear:I never thought I would live this after all my goals. I am 27 and it's time to think about my career. I feel very good in football terms, but the coach has decided for another player, I have to respect that decision, because I am professional. However, I never imagined living in a situation like this having scored so many goals.Both ESPN and Sky Sports have reported that Borussia Dortmund are willing to allow their ex-hitman, who scored 44 goals in 77 appearances prior to this season, to leave in the January window, and sources are claiming that he could leave Dortmund for as little as €12 million.Barrios represents a low-risk, high yield possible acquisition for Chelsea.Should he succeed, then Chelsea has signed an excellent second-option or even replacement for Fernando Torres, and at almost one-fifth of the cost of the Spanish striker.If he fails, then he can probably be offloaded at half or more of the cost that he was purchased for, representing a minor negative investment for a club like Chelsea.If Chelsea's more ambitious pursuits, like Gonzalo Higuain, do not transfer to the club, then Barrios represents a solid transfer target for the Blues.

Madmax 9,219 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 ^You've picked that up from The Bleacher Report, which is worse than all the other websites specifically mentioned as banned.As regards the player himself, he's underrated despite being important for BVB. I like him, he could be a good target but solely as a squad player, not as our primary choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
