Mario Mandzukic

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

NOOOOOOOOO... i would have taken him before costa-deal but definitely not now. would mean the end of lukaku.

Says who?

[The Skipper 20,593]

If we do sign him and Costa Lukaku's CFC career is over IMO... Can't see him staying on as the number 3 striker.

I understand they're different sort of players but I'd rather keep Lukaku than get Mandzukic.

[Ljpaddock 187]

Lukaku will be sold

Not only that, but I'd prefer to sell David Luiz for 30mi pounds than to sell him for 15 + Manzukic...

Get Mandzukic+15m for Luiz + sell Lukaku for around 20-25 = get Vidal for 40m.

And we'll probably sell Marin, Bertrand, Moses, maybe Mikel and Ba.. Torres. Its amazing that we could still sell so many players that we dont really need.

Sounds like a plan to me!!!! Vidal here would be amazing!

Lukaku is young. He can still go out on loan for a couple of seasons and return at 23, two years younger than Costa is now. Costa and Mandzukic is a better combination in my opinion than Costa and Lukaku. You want strikers who bring different things to the table and think these two compliment one another well.

Lukaku as a third striker doesn't work in my opinion. I'd actually like to see Bamford given that role but a loan is more likely. Feruz could spend another year in the 'B league' and get a few run outs.

If Lukaku isn't happy with this arrangement then he only has himself to blame. He had a chance to compete for the shirt with Eto'o, Torres and Ba....now he might have to compete with Costa and Mandzukic. I like the guy but I think I might piss myself laughing if that happened.

Boom. End conversation with this.

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.).

[Jase 43,479]

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.

[Sovieticus 743]

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

[Jase 43,479]

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]

Nah, I'm too good for this.

But worse than Torres.

[Sovieticus 743]

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