El P. 1,354 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 More important than searching for main striker, is to find good backup. We can do with either Lukaku/Morata/Belotti/Costa (if he is sure he wants to stay and be focused, Conte will know if he is), I don't think there is so much difference between them, especially now when first three are still youngish - but backup striker must be reliable and good. Not Michy, not a guy like Remy who is injury prone. Good, reliable striker. Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 On 4/8/2017 at 2:34 AM, The Skipper said: Would be a stupendous signing. Probably won't happen though. Quality player. What impresses me the most about him is how he plays with such authority. He's so confident and fearless. Always keeps his head up and remains in control even when put under pressure. And he's always looking to play the ball forward. His dribbling and passing combined with his energy and speed could have a great impact on Chelsea's transitions. Wouldn't be mad at this (potential) signing at all. I can imagine him playing alongside Kanté in Europe (you could even add Fabregas for a midfield three). In the PL you rotate between Kanté, Keita, Fabregas and Matic depending on the size and physicality of the opposition. I've heard comparisons with Kanté all season and they are so lazy btw. They're not the same at all. Keita is a good footballer. Blue-in-me-Veins and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was against him when there were rumors floating, but because Conte is not trusting Michy anyway I think he can be great backup for like 2 years - familiar with PL, very good in the air, and at this stage of career he propably would be ok with not being first XI regular.

akgw13 867 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 My dream team for next year: Courtois Azpi Luiz Christensen Moses Kante Radja Mendy/Alonso Sanchez/Bernardeschi Hazard Belotti In order of want: Belotti(Diego cash), Mendy(35-40m), Sanchez/Bernardeschi(Oscar cash), Radja(35m) I think all could be bought and we certainly have the money pending a big sale of Diego + Oscar cash. To me, that is a team who can SERIOUSLY make noise in Europe with Conte at manager. The physicality/skill mix is terrifying in my eyes. kellzfresh and the wes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me our ideal team, and IMO very realistic is: Courtois Azpi Luiz Christensen Nelson Semedo Kante Naby Keita Mendy Bernado Silva Diego Costa/Lukaku Hazard Thats a CL winning team, and it actually is a affordable team Bernado(80M) Naby Keita( 45M) Nelson Semedo(30M) Mendy(30M) Lukaku(80M) if Costa leaves,which is going to give us an absurd amount of money, on top of that Oscar money The right players are there and available, we just cant slack now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
