Mario Mandzukic

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Was heavily linked wasnt he. Interest probably cooled now with Costa imminent

[BenIsLegend 475]

But dont they play with 2 strikers most of the time? That makes the difference I guess.

Yeah I suppose they do but they do have 4 St's competing for 2 places. 3 St's for 1 place is fairly similar competition.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

His just an experienced lukaku no need to spend excessively on him

[iseah100 5,612]

I want this guy. But I want Bamford to play too:/. I don't want to sell Lukaku and it doesn't look like Torres and Ba are leaving. Fuck.

But Jovetic is very versatile,He can play on the left,second striker or attacking midfielder.

I hope we will get this guy. First we must sell Torres who earns 10mln a year. Its ridiculous salary for him , his not worth it. Basically i know why we still keeping him. Hes taking 4 place in most marketable footballer rankings. Still believe we can have they both Costa&Mandzukic.

we cant have both. both want to be starting players and it will only cause fuss and stir in the dressing room, because both arent the easiest of characters. Either Mandzu or Diego or we'll play 4-4-2/4-4-1-1

[cfcs most wanted 657]

4-4-2 with Costa/Torres and mandzukic/lukaku

Jose managed to balance Higuain and Benzema quite well. Costa and Mandzukic would both get plenty of games and compliment each other's skillsets nicely in my opinion.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

The mail was saying last week that we've already signed him!

Doubt we'd sign anymore strikers unless Lukaku does indeed leave.

Higuain and Benzema werent making any trouble but Benzema wasnt really satisfied with this situation, as he now has admitted. He only rose to his good form when Higuain got injured and he played constantly. Also, Mandzu/Costa are far more difficult Characters than Karim and Higuain- and they are both new signings in contraire to Higu and Karim. We cant get both, it will only cause trouble as both want to be the undisputed no 1. Mandzukic isnt leaving Bayern to play second fiddle and neither is Costa leaving the La liga champion to play 2nd striker in here. And I am not a big fan of 50% rotation, you have to name one clear no 1 striker.

Exactly. If Lukaku stays, we'd already be ridiculously well covered up front with Costa, Lukaku and maybe Torres or Ba as third choice so getting Mandzukic would be overkill but if Lukaku leaves, we could do much worse than getting Mandzukic to replace him.

Nothing will happen until after the WC so we'll just have to wait and see.

[Pizy 18,419]

My ideal 3 strikers would be Costa, Lukaku, and Ba. More then enough firepower.

Mandzukic wouldn't be an improvement on Lukaku as our #2 striker in my opinion.

Most likely will start the season with Costa, Lukaku, and Torres with Ba being loaned or sold. I've always liked Demba because of his attitude and mentality so I'd be kind of sad to see him go and Torres staying.

Inclined to agree with you but in City's case, it kinda helped when Jovetic was out injured 3 quarter of the time, Aguero about half of it and Negredo losing his form after Christmas. Would have been a different case for Pellegrini to handle had all been fit and firing for him.

With us having 3 strikers, think it needs to be 2 really good ones and 1 average striker. Gonna be tough otherwise unless Mourinho decides to play them out wide like he did at Inter when he had Eto'o, Milito, Pandev and Balotelli.

If we do buy another striker along Costa, it means Lukaku is off. And with money from Lukaku sale, I would rather buy Benzema, not Mando. If the rumours about Suarez to rm are true, maybe Benzema will be sold.

Ohh, a strikeforce of Benzema and Costa is mouthwatering... I'd swap Lukaku for Benz.

Nah, would rather have the ox Mandzukic than the cat Benzie .

[sodasys 40]

Costa having a bad WC really makes Mandzukic being a must for us now, we can't risk going to the next season relaying on just one new striker who may turn to a flop !
