Mario Mandzukic

[Toli 977]

Dont get how people cant rate him. massive striker and very, very underrated. without him Bayern look completely toothless. Even though I prefer Diego Costa. Still, would be one of the best strikers in the EPL. he has balls, is a figther in his prime and is also technically much, much better than some suppose. Would be a massive upgrade and I dont think he would have trouble adapting to EPL

Him on his own would be a disappointment, but him and Costa together would be a great move.

he wont move fearing to be 2nd fiddle for bayern to be 2nd fiddle for us though. if he moves, he'll be no 1 striker for his new team. and Costa has the same demands.

I want the other Mario.

A pretty good option.

I haven't watched him enough to really say but he seems strong, good in the air, better technique than some think, he can finish.. He also seems like a warrior which is something we need.

As long as he isnt the only striker coming in i will be happy

After seeing Torres fuck up for last few years, I shouldn't be so picky, but I want a GREAT striker, not a very good one.

We haven't had much luck signing established great strikers

Him + Lukaku and Ba/Eto'o. Rotations can always be done in cup matches, ties, champions league. It would be great.

Good.

Not sure if it's BILD, but there is one German paper who tend to be pretty much in the loop with all things Bayern.

If we did get Mandzukic and Costa, you'd have to be pretty pleased.

Oh please please I would love to see him here.

Please be true. We'd be swapping a loose cannon for an actual cannon.

So Costa and Mandzukic, not bad... if we do get him it must mean Lukaku's off, I can't see him sticking around, although it would be deadly having Costa, Mandzukic and Luakaku next season. Just compare that to Eto'o, Ba and Torres...

[Pizy 18,552]

As long as it's in addition to Costa I'd be fine with it. Never good enough to be the main man for us.

If we need three.

I'd envisage Costa being the main guy, spearheading counter attacks and looking for space behind defences. If that doesn't work or we face a packed defence then bring on Mandzukic and look to pepper the box with crosses.

Lukaku's problem with being a number two behind Costa is that he doesn't offer anything radically different apart from being left-footed and not as good.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Lukaku was unhappy having to contest with Eto'o, Torres and Ba for a place. I'm finding it hard to see him being happy with fighting Diego Costa and Mandzukic if both deals come off.
