Mario Mandzukic

[Madmax 9,219]

CFC wants Mandzukic, but does Mandzukic want second place @ CFC?

He should, considering he is second choice at his current club and likely to remain so while Peppito wanks over a false 9 setup.

Says who?

mandzukic is 27, costa is 25. lukaku is 20.

simply cant see lukaku taking a 3rd striker role behind these guys. he has to know that his play time with these 2 in the squad reduces exponentially and too for coming years (not just one or 2.).

Matic+Martinez midfield would be monstrous.

And no before you ask a Martinez+Matic is not too defensive. I covered this with another poster a few months back, and WEAINTGOTNOHISTORY did a good piece on it also recently.

That is an understatement! IF we can get those two together, our pivot will be sorted for the next 5 years at least.

So wait, we are like getting Costa and maybe Mandžukič?

Nope. We are likely to get Costa and Sovieticus as well. That would be so awesome..

Nah, I'm too good for this.

[Jase 43,479]

But worse than Torres.

Don't want to derail the thread but everyone is better than Torres, well maybe except you

If I have to pick between Costa+Lukaku or Costa+Mandzukic, I would pick Lukaku anyday.

I feel scoring for Mandzukic at Bayern isnt that dificult with all their AMs playing fantastic. The other story is CL and big games where Mandzukic never realy impressed me.. also how will he score here in pL with stronger defences and less support, i dunno. On other hand, Lukaku is proven in Pl and much younger, would be worth a shot at least until january and then sell/loan him and get another striker if things wont work...

Doesn't make sense in my opinion, as he will be the second choice too in here behind Costa. Isn't it better for him to go to other clubs as a first choice striker? There are a lot of clubs who could offer that along with CL football and decent wages. It would be strange if he choose us instead.

like?

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

like?

Arsenal, Atletico, Dortmund, Roma, Napoli, some Russian clubs

Arsenal, Atletico, Dortmund, Roma, Napoli, some Russian clubs

arsenal - never going to win ANYTHING. plus wages not as good as ours.

bvb - doubt bayern will sell them.

napoli - he will still be no.2 behind a 40mil higuain.

russian clubs - so basically you think he would want to semi-retire from football rather than play for chelsea and be in the elite pool.

ATM and roma are good options. but we are a better option.
