DanishBlue 426 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I really want this guy. He cant be that expensive now that everyone knows that he is for sale and that he wants to leave. Signing Costa and Mandzukic would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Costa, Mandzukic and Lukaku is a bit overkill, how are we going to keep the 3rd striker happy? Costa, Lukaku (if he wants to fight for his place) and Torres/Ba, is more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanishBlue 426 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 But dont they play with 2 strikers most of the time? That makes the difference I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iseah100 5,612 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liuxas 129 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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.

Toli 977 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcs most wanted 657 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 4-4-2 with Costa/Torres and mandzukic/lukaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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 4-4-2/4-4-1-1Jose 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 The mail was saying last week that we've already signed him! Doubt we'd sign anymore strikers unless Lukaku does indeed leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa and Mandzukic would both get plenty of games and compliment each other's skillsets nicely in my opinion.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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Doubt we'd sign anymore strikers unless Lukaku does indeed leave. 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 18,994 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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.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.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 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.
