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. 

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.

Antonio Conte has reportedly identified Christian Benteke and Jamie Vardy as January signings.

How things have changed. 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.

Why not save money and recall Tammy Abraham back

I like Benteke when he's on his game, but Vardy is definite better choice if CFC aren't going for A. 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.

Vardy is worth a shout.

Morata is very good at holding up the ball and link up play. 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

We could get Faouzi Ghoulam At a good price he's on last year of his contract 😊

Exactly. See how he performed against city pressing with driving runs and speed. We havent had that since ashley cole

You realize this is Napoli we are talking about, right? No way they will sell him to us in january when they are suddenly title contenders  

But yes, GREAT player !!

And likely Champions League last sixteen qualifiers.

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.

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.

Conte clearly doesn't believe in Bats & he's after a target man.

I'd rather sign a Ben Techy, known at the office for solving computer issues.

[Alabama 1,992]

Well mate peeps trying to give the board ideas!

What pisses me off royally is how we get linked to players WITH PROSPECTS! Players who were once in good form nut not reaching their potential or just not doing their jobs for a year or 2 for 1 reason or another. Is that how we are seen? That could mean we are good at changing lame ducks or we are just so fuckin good that they want to get us signing them so e can fuck up! Or just like attracting like???

Forget Carroll: Chelsea should try and sign this £19.9m-rated target-man instead – agreed?
