Who would you sign to lead the line at Chelsea?

[bababoom 4,478]

Cavani

Suarez

Costa

Benzema

Benteke

Ballo

Benteke looks so out of place in that list.

[BloodIsBlue 291]

First three, yes. Second three, no.

The first three will be borderline impossible to get except maybe Costa if he wants to make more money, because he isn't going to come here to fulfill some personal ambition other than money which is good for us. Benteke I wouldn't want to bother with the risk (you guys see him against United?) but Benzema and Balotelli are amazing players we should be very lucky to sign them.

Not sure if there is any word that can describe just how bad this is...

Truly, fucking shocking.

Could be 8-10 points clear with a decent striker(s)

[Special Juan 28,091]

Says it all really. Whilst Samu has done well in the most our forward line is a huge problem without those stats.

The least people like Hazard deserve is a top class striker to be running the forward line.

Benteke

Ballo

Cavani - Class A Egg

Suarez - Omlette Made With Class A Eggs & Chilli's (mixed up but has a bit of a bite!)

Costa - Ostrich Egg (big ugly looking bugger)

Benzema - Class B Egg

Benteke - Raw Egg

Ballo - Scrambled Egg

And Lukaku would be your first attempt at producing your own eggs at home. Sure it isn't quite as pretty as the store bought ones but it's the right shape and a good size.

Chuck it in the omelette with the Class A egg and you won't even notice?

Yep, he'd be a free range egg.

Mind you you'd have to be careful he had the right type of coup and hen keeper + make sure the hen & chick got the correct amount of exercise and training. The rooster would have to show him how and where to have a scratch around in order to get the best pickings and also to make sure the new chick/en laid their new eggs in the right bag (onion).

Balotelli is so underrated on this forum. The guy is fast, he can dribble, he can squeeze through defenders, he can shoot, and he can take set pieces/penalties exceptionally well. Last summer I thought AC Milan would have a good season and I bet so did they, the club is on it's back this season so who knows he might actually be available. Costa and Cavani still make me wonder about their actual availability (release clause doesn't mean he actually want's to be released). We can't be dicking around for players who aren't leaving (like we did with Rooney that damn scouse) I don't think it would be too hard to convince AC Milan and Balotelli himself that this is a good idea.

Mario has all the talent in the world but he can't be relied upon. He's better than our strikers, but if players like Costa are available then Balo shouldn't even be in the discussion. He's having a really poor season at AC Milan. Every AC Milan fan I know is tired of this dude just strolling about like he doesn't give two shits about the shirt on his back.

He needs a massive change in attitude if he actually wants to make it as an elite player because he has the talent no doubt. Maybe Jose can transform him, but it's a huge gamble if it means the alternative could be Costa. However, if we can bring in two strikers then I'd take Costa and Balo all day because then the risk is mitigated as he'll be second choice and the reward could be potentially huge.

So so so depressing!
