zekinjo 449 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Why would we even consider to bring in B options like Llorente or Benteke when Michy is way better player with much more potential? We should start talking about our first ST, a starter with 25-30 goals per season not some middle table players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the theoretical situation where our new £80m striker gets injured for months we'd just have Michy playing up top with no cover? We need 3 strikers in our squad for sure. No chance will that be Benteke because he'd be way too expensive and he's far too good still to be a bench warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I am not a fan of Benteke that much, it's risky to go into a season with 4 competitions with only 1 (potentially 2 if we buy someone) recognized strikers. Benteke or LLorente as plan C would be alright I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benteke is in a rut rn but honestly he’s a great 2nd choice striker, offers much more than Michy in his general play. Good buddies with Eden. Also, if he rediscovers his shooting boots, literally nothing Michy will have over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez... or, we might consider grabbing BOTH Vardy and Sanchez right now considering our obvious lack of goalscoring, Morata aside. Too bad we also need better players for CM and someone else for LWB. Too much to ask for January... probably not making top 4 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vardy would be a great option alongisde if we decide to go 352 but with Hazard and Pedro both capable of playing second striker I think they are both better We need some short term option, too bad we missed out on Llorente. Don't recall Abraham, his loan to Swansea is one of the best things that happened to our youngsters in last few years I would only recall Abraham if Michy is sold and Tammy is #2 striker .. otherwise it doesn't make sense I would rather spend cash on some LWB if one is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I don't mind the link but is it even remotely possible? I mean palace is in a relegation battle why would they even think of selling him?As a player he has flaws but I'm a believer that plan b's and c's need to be specialists. Benteke is great in the air and decent holding up the ball. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I wish we had backup striker that actualy stays at club for more years and proves his worth. Ba, Remy, Batshuayi...rollercoaster to continue with Benteke and in two years someone else... Bats isnt perfect, but if he is willing to be bit part player, we should just keep him. We also have Tammy as target man for future, I dont see one reason why splash cash on Benteke when we need other areas like wingbacks, rw and midfielder to improve.
