Mario Mandzukic

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

We're a counter-attacking team. Costa will lead that.

If teams sit deep then we tend to pump more crosses into the box - Mandzukic is an excellent aerial threat.

Lukaku really isn't necessary next season if we have both these players offering these options. So from a tactical sense it does make perfect sense, although I'd love to see you try and argue that it doesn't.

We're gonna need three strikers not two. Lukaku is the young understudy.

Why isn't Luiz- Kroos swap isn't even been pointed out?

To me, it makes the most sense.

Maybe because Kroos is going nowhere? Maybe because he doesn't want to come to Chelsea?

In 2012 Jose used Benzema and Higuain almost exclusively. Look how many minutes Ba got this year behind two average strikers. Lukaku simply won't get enough minutes in my opinion. I'd rather look at Drogba in a player-coach role or even use a youngster.

I don't know, injuries happen all the time and we have to start getting more out of our own players. I would say he gets more starts then Ba but mainly comes into the game as a change of pace guy. I just can't envision a world where Chelsea yet again loan him out when we're obviously short in that regard.

sport1 in Germany reckon he isn't coming here, and Juventus are very much in the hunt for him. Maybe one of our German users can tell us whether BILD or sport1 are more reliable

Bild aren't bad but from what I can remember, they're a bit hit and miss.

From what I can gather though, Bild aren't saying that Mandzukic is 100% coming to us... They're just stating that a deal is potentially being discussed.

None of them are really reliable. Bild likes to make everything seem bigger than it is (like the DailyFail) so I wouldn't put much trust into them. Sport1 basically publish just about every rumor they find, lol. Both of them do have good knowledge about specific rumors sometimes but that's only when they get insider hints (like it happened before the Götze transfer).

I remember seeing one time that with Bayern, BILD have insider knowledge

Mario + Costa...

Now, we need players that can cross!

Bild is usually shit, but they are pretty good with Bayern-related reports

Good if true, but please sell Torres so that this will make some sense!

According to Bild, Mandzukic has cleared out his Bayern Munich locker, and has agreed terms with Chelsea. #CFC

He's been clearing out his locker since Saturday, how fucking big is it.

I checked bild.de and they haven't even mentioned our name for days.
