New striker needed - but who?

[Spike 12,049]

I like Theo Walcott. He gets a lot of stick on here but sometimes I believe that us only because he plays for that one club.

Theo is decent indeed but he wouldn't get a chance here upfront ahead of Danny.

Sturridge > Walcott

im thinking of walcott as moee of a replacement for sturridge... as it stands, Sturridge will not be a chelsea player at the end of the season. like i said, he's not going to sign a new contract unless he gets a lot more game time.

Looking at this picture shows, how much we really need a new striker. Look at the alternatives if Torres & Sturridge get injured. Very worrying.

Lukaku can be recalled if the situation is extremely difficult. This decision (the whole Torres and new striker thing) is to be made next summer, not in January. It would be the most sensible and the wisest way of dealing with it. No need to make another panic buy and overpay certain players. I think this team can make it to top 4 even without strikers, that's how good I think we are.

there are strong rumors that Lewandowski has some problems with Borussia managment.. But to tell te truth I'm still not convinced that he is world class footballer.. anyway he would be much cheaper than Cavani and Falcao

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Falcao apparently, according to meeja reports this morning - snip at £45m

Chelsea make move for £45m Falcao

If Torres don´t get at least 10 more goals till the January we need a world class striker.I would prefer Falcao,for sure.

10 goals shouldn't save him. He needs to go.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

I want Ballack in the A-League most of all

anyone but Torres

Look at Falcao here vs. Athletic Bilbao.

A lot of people are saying that if he came here, he'd have the same problems as Torres.

In this video though, Falcao receives the ball in similar ways where he's isolated etc. like Torres often is with us, but he somehow just manages to make something out of it almost every time.

It's also quite amazing that Falcao is 5'10" while Torres is 6'0". Falcao tames the ball like Drogba used to at times. I absolutely love his headers (not really shown in this 1st video.) They're brilliant.

Now here are some of his headers (keep in mind HE IS SHORTER THAN RAMIRES) -

He is probably, along with Ronaldo, the most complete striker in the world. (Well, I'm sure there's some gem hidden somewhere than only hardcore scouts know about, but I'm talking generally within the top 10 or so leagues.)

How could you not want him!?
