New striker needed - but who?

[Mufassir08 2,400]

We need a striker who will bail us out when the team is not playing well.rvp/hernandez/rooney do it for man,dzeko/aguero do it for city,ronaldo and messi do it for their teams while our striker even when the team is playing well shies away from shooting and misses great chances.

[Ollie 4,400]

We simply need a striker that can score goals. He can be shit at football, have no technical ability but always troubles the GK and defenders. We need to get Carroll or maybe even Adebayor as he aint playing for Tottenham at all. We need that focal point of the attack. Having Torres could be the difference of coming top and coming 4th or even 5th. If we had a Cavani or Falcao, we'd be pretty devastating but they will be too expensive. We've had a nice run due to Ramires playing where he should play and Mata being a genius. We can't rely on hoping to keep winning games without a proper striker. Get anyone, get Charlie Austin for £2m lol anyone who knows how to score goals will score with this Chelsea team.

It would take the greatest debater on Earth to convince me signing David Villa would be a bad signing.

David Villa would be a bad signing.

LLorente, Soldado, Dzeko, Mbokani

It is incredible how some people get bling by their love for some players. They cant even argue with statistics, examples and point of view; all they can do is tell you are not the worlds best debater...

[RamiCFC9 258]

Falcao or

Villa ( for 1-2 years) and then after 2014 >>> mister Neymar.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

How old is Soldado? He'd be awesome too and relatively inexpensive.

I still would prefer Cavani over Falcao. We just need a good striker not the best goal-scorer in the world. We have more than enough goals in our side, we just need a striker, who can link up well with everyone, provide some aerial threat and hold the ball well.

27 this year.

One option we should look at is Lewandowski. Good in the air, links up play well and has a good finishing though he can still improve in that department. Has 2 years left in his Dortmund contract and is only 24 too.

That's only one person on this forum who for some reason loves David Villa, even with Chelsea's policy for over-30's.

Bringing in David Villa is an okay short-term option IF he agrees to take low wages.

I'd prefer Chelsea to sign a 24-27 year old forward, someone who will hit their peak sooner rather than later and start firing Chelsea to even more success.

Falcao or Falcao... mmm and maybe Higuain (all ex-river plate players hahaha)

[Funkyflashman 187]

Just a thought but I've seen his name crop up in a couple of places...

Alexandre Pato anyone?? He's young, huge upside, AC will have to sell now that Silvio's in the slammer, would be coming to a team chock-full of brazilians...

He has a bit of an injury history but maybe worth thinking about?

The poor bastard strains his thigh muscles nearly every few games. One of my favourite fowards but he is more injury prone than Robben and Ribery put together. And his injuries are becoming more common in the last two seasons.

I know it is the Bleacher Report but this is quite an interesting article on Pato's injuries.

Pato I would love. Shame he's so damn injury prone.

[Miguelito 459]

Really i would just love to have dzeko. hes underrated by so many and i think he is a great forward

Pato has always had injury issues, its part of the reason why United & Arsenal decided not to sign him, back in 2007 when he was the next big thing in Brazil.
