Who would you sign to lead the line at Chelsea?

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!

The title of the thread should be changed to "who should not we sign".

Cos as of this moment, I would take shane fucking long over torres.

[wiefisoichiro 12]

Sick of the performance of torres in chelsea over the years. I want he to be sold in bring cavani and manzukic to the bridge. It is all i want

[Alabama 1,992]

please i would be happy with anything that can just put the ball @d back of the net...i wont even mind seeing ivanovic as a striker...torres is done for! anything wont be shocking and abysmal like torres...

[bushman 2,043]

The only place to be

By far the best choice, knows how to score plenty of...?

Cavani 70-75m (It's a totally groundless estimate by me but they probably won't sell him at all) + Mandzukic 25m = 95-100m. What about getting a leftback and someone better to play next to Matic so we can play some regular football?

[LukakutoStamford 779]

I'd love to see a top world class guy not named Benzema (i.e Cavani), a good second option like Bony or Remy, and a talented very young 3rd option like Batyshuayi, Morata, Origi

With the way we play if we buy another technically average/deficient CF it is destined to end in tears again. players like cavani,Costa,Falcao will struggle under the current system. What we need, for a team that's absolutely clueless when it comes to creating chances, is a striker who can link up play brilliantly and can create their own chances and make lemonade out of lemon figuratively speaking like Suarez, aguero,Rooney et al.

I always felt andy Carrol would of succeeded here....

He is probably the best aerial threat in the epl and is strong and can hold the ball up well...

Would of helped filled our english quota as well.

Mourinho: 'Torres has a future at Chelsea. He has a contract, is a good pro & works well for the team, We & he want him to score more.' #CFC

Fuck me if he's staying.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Why the fuck is Mou such a pussy about Torres? He had balls to cut Casillas and Mata (who werent even playing that bad) but he sticks with Torres for what? Put your authority up and send the fucker to spain!

What the fuck ?

[Eligius 121]

He is a flop for Liverpool, but he is exactly what we need.

A tall and strong presence, with immense aerial ability and link up play.

He's technique might suck, but he is a good cf in the right system.

Also, the others mention above are better choices, but Carroll could be a good player for Chelsea.

Please just stop it.

Why would Carroll not be a good striker?

[bethos1 802]

Costa or Balotelli, someone else and I'll be very disappointed.
