Main striker for next season

[kiaretta985 131]

Diego Milito? no, please. we are all complaining about an aging team, why should we buy a 33-years-old? And even if his value is around 10m, I'm sure Moratti will make us pay more than that.

[St Abramovich 175]

I really like the look of Cavani, but AVB's worked with Falcao so that's a big factor.

The other option is to throw Lukaku in a the deep end and see if he sinks or swims.

[Ollie 4,400]

Shit didn't realise he was that old, where had he been before 2010 where he had that wonder season.... thought he was like 28 or something.

well Falcao would be stupid because we had our chance to get him for cheaper last season but then he signed a new contract at Porto then suddenly went to Atletico. We need to get someone who's not exactly first choice but is quality. Get Adebayor to replace Drogs.

[kiaretta985 131]

Moratti should have sold a lot of player after the treble (Milito, Maicon just to name two), just like we should have done two seasons ago. Anyway, Adebayor is around 23m.

Break the bank for Mario Gomez and I'll be happy.

Sure I read he was very close to agreeing a new contract extension?

[Melanicus 5,208]

I can't see us getting Cavani. Probably he will stay few seasons more at Napoli and than move to big Serie A club or La Liga club (Real Madrid).

Higuain seems to be happy playing for Real. Although, he's second option, I believe he will stay.

If Torres doesn't step up his game he should be sold this summer. Atletico just loves him so I believe, they would hand in that deal with Falcao, which would be abosolute steal for us, so my vote goes to Falcao.

No. You can't have them both. Cavani/Iguain/Falcao as striker and Sturridge as right winger. It won't work. Because most of the time, instead of cooperating together, our striker and Sturridge will compete in "who will have more shots on the goal" discipline. OK if Cavani take so many shots he will score, but that's not the point.

Sturridge won't be of great benefit to our future striker, nevermind how he will be "pleased" if we actually get one.

And don't tell me he has right to have that attitude because of Torres. He had it during short "Torres may be back" spell, and he is doing it with Drogba who is able to score.

Get Cavani/Iguain/Falcao and you will get yourself unhappy Sturridge, and when doesn't score, very useless winger. And we can't afford it. So we should give Sturridge a chance to shine at CF position and give right wing position to genuine team player who can and enjoys creating chances for strikers, and who plays for the team not for himself.

And how I would love to see Sturridge at CF position right now, when he is instead of fullback , surrounded with DM and CB with our generous midfield. I know he would score goals , but how often and how easy? That would give so much answers for summer. But with Anelka's departure, slim chance of that happening.

Anyway, my answer is Sturridge.

Like I said, break the bank.

Oh come on...

Sturridge just needs to be disciplined and he'll turn into a better player (like Robinho under Allegri at AC Milan).

He is not a CF. He can be part of 2 or 3 upfront but not alone - he doesn't have the physical or tactical ability.

Also Napoli play with a central striker (Cavani) and 2 forwards (Hamsik, Lavezzi) so if we stay with 3 players

upfront he could fit in.

Somebody new

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Has to be between Cavani and Falcao. The fact is, we play a system (and probably will always play a system) where we require a big, strong, powerful target man in our centre forward. Not someone who plays off the shoulder, with ball to feet. It's why Sheva & Torres could never function in our team and why Lukaku does have a chance in the future.

[Henrique 9,133]

For me we have a first class striker. We have to concentrate on getting the best out him next season. The service to the forward at the moment is frankly f**king s**t. Pele couldn't score in this Chelsea team at the moment. It is too easy to look at the fact Torres is not scoring and say we should get rid, but we should be looking deeper at the problem because Torres is not the problem with this team at the moment.

Sorry, but that's not a good argument to support Torres, he is also shit playing for Spain.

[Madmax 9,219]

Methinks the Torres + cash for Falcao fantasy insults Atletico's intelligence a bit.

I agree 100%. Either one would be ideal.
