If it's between us and Real then we're pretty much screwed, aren't we?

CHELSEA TARGET ICARDI CONFIRMS HE WILL CONSIDER OFFERS TO LEAVE INTER

https://readchelsea.com/2018/10/23/chelsea-target-icardi-confirms-he-will-consider-offers-to-leave-inter/

Inter striker Mauro Icardi has confirmed that he will consider any offers that come in for him, amid interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea.

Speaking about his future to Radio Onda Cero, as cited on Calciomercato, Icardi admitted that he is happy at the San Siro, but refused to rule out a future move away.

The Argentinian striker has been perennially linked with moves away from the Italian giants in recent years, but the club captain has always remained a key fixture at the San Siro.

Real Madrid have been long-term admirers of Icardi and could move for him as a potential replacement for Karim Benzema, who has seen his future in Spain questioned this season.

Icardi is said to be one of two strikers shortlisted by Maurizio Sarri in preparation for the January transfer window.

The Italian head coach wants to add to his forward line and has been linked with moves for Icardi and Genoa’s Krzysztof Piatek.

If this is a January move, I fear it might take £80m plus AND Morata.

This all could have been avoided. See my crazy number of previous posts on the subject. I have been on the Icardi/Dybala train since Sampdoria/Palermo days.

So in other words £40m total?

No chance we land him in January. Inter would consider selling in the summer if he wanted to leave but can't see them sanctioning his sale mid season. Top striker though, wasn't sure if he'd ever be more than a goalscorer but hes brought so much more to his game the last few seasons, a complete striker.

Chelsea are set to miss out on both Icardi and Genoa's Poland forward Krzysztof Piatek, 23, as the Blues look for a striker in January. (Evening Standard)

I read reports that inter want Suarez if That's the case I can see Icardi going to Barcelona

Real 100%. Suarez going to Inter (which I think is crazy as he is soon going to hit the wall of age) doesn't preclude that. Barca really want Piatek. Just my 2 quid's worth.

Who we actually have a shot at in January is Cavani (yes I know, stop-gap and all that, but at this point we are FUCKED without a striker who can score).

Mbappe and Neymar are intentionally freezing him out in last 5, 6 games. It was SO obvious tonight. Tuchel has a nightmare on his hands. 

Yes, Cavani is 31yo and Morata 26, but Cavani is in superb shape (like Renaldo) and I can see 3 more good to great years out of him. I would straight swap Morata for him. I think PSG could rehab Morata, as Ligue 1 is weak and diving is a way of life there.

Getting Cavani in January gives us 2 to 3 summer windows to REALLY sort out striker. He would be a goal machine in Sarriball.

I just dont see other options atm. Lewandowski is 30yo and Bayern will still demand £90m to £100m to sell him, especially if Piatek and/or Werner don't move there.

Fuck Suarez. I would rather miss CL ta have that cunt on our team. Dead serious. He is a fucking bellend at galactic level.

Edin Dzeko (33yo in Match)  is a year older than Cavani, so even more of a stopgap, I say NO on him.

Paco Alcácer might be worth a shot, BUT now that he is finally getting time and exploding, Barca will either take him back or want CRAZY money.

Maximiliano Gómez might be worth a shot, BUT again, big gamble and he will NOT come cheap at all, same for Giovanni Simeone at (gag) Fiorentina.

Same for Alassane Plea at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Cavani is a proven (at highest levels) massive goalscorer. I am at wits end over striker. I want to finish in top 4, hopefully top 2, and win EL. Cavani can do that for us.

I think we also should buy and groom Luka Jovic of Eintracht Frankfurt a  potentially superb young (20yo)  CF whilst he is still affordable (he just scored 5 goals in a game as well, so obviously can find the back of the net) Matheus Cunha from RB Leipzig (19yo) is another one for grooming perhaps. Finally , the 17yo Pietro Pellegri whom Monaco just bought this summer. I think he is the next Italian superstar striker potentially, and Sarri would love him.

What do you think about Sevilla's Ben Yedder? Now that's a player we might actually be able to sign in January

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Its worrying that only up and coming strikers that scream world class in the near future are Mbappe and Kane, both unavailable. Icardi, Lukaku, nevermind Morata will never be great strikers. while Dybala, Griezmann arent real strikers. Lewa, Suarez Cavani, Aguero, Costa, Higuain...are on the old side too.

In all these years I am watching football, I dont remember such shit amount of striker options out there. And to think awhile ago you had prime Henry, Villa, Drogba, Etoo, Trezeguet, Ibra, Torres, Nistelrooy, Rooney play at same time, nevermind the upcoming goalscorers in Ronaldo and Messi.

If Icardi is so called the best striking option out there, its just sad. He has crazy instinct for goal, but lacks nearly everything else for allrounded striker. Doesnt have the strength, speed, high work rate, ball control or vision of top striker. Basically a poacher. Then there is donkey Lukaku and even bigger donkey Morata. I pray someone explodes on stage in next two seasons or we are screwed.

Sevilla want 55m euros for him, thats crazy for a striker who will be 29 in the summer, is very short, and has had only 11 and 9 league goals the last 2 seasons. PSG want him for a backup for last 2 years.

He underwhelms me TBH.

He might, however be a great Mertens role type player, but at his age, its not like he has a lot of upside or untapped potential.

For that price I would rather roll with Rodrigo from Valencia, but they are now demanding CRAZY money

I really dont like mid tier strikers, they now cost a shit tonne, are usually not so young, and are a huge gamble 

I either want a superstar in prime (aka Icardi, Dybala)

super potential and banging in goals young one (Piatek or Jovic)

or just use a stop gap 30 something proven goal banger for 2,3 years whilst we sort it long term (Cavani type)

Mbappe is more of a winger than a classic number 9 IMHO. Dybala is  secondary striker but both would work in Sarriball. Now we just need Ratcliffe to buy the team (or Bezos!) and drop in a half billion in net spend (after selling out ALL the deadwood. LOLOL

Maybe we should (like I have said before) go full nutter and try and sign Zlatan for 2 years. Even at 37 he is 5 times the striker that Morata and Giroud are combined.
