dodojojo 510 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 How many goals did Kalou and Anelka score with this midfield?Was it 30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLionheart 516 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Will only be a smart move if followed by the steps mentioned below :It's just the start of a whole squad shake up where there will be a lo of departures and at least 2 or 3 more signings .Drogba , Kalou and Anelka must leave if we sign falcao , and lukaku shouldn't be signed.Drogba to be used as part of player + cash deal for Modric , as Tottenham really need him and we need modric . would be a smart move by both clubs.The other signings should be a creative CM (modric) and 2 wingers and one of them should be hulk as he has already proved to work wonders along side with falcaoTorres and Falcao should never start together , Torres should have another chance to lead the line with falcao coming in the last 20 minutes if we need goals and rotated with fernando every now and then , If torres fails again then Falcao should get the chance to prove himself.I know a lot will hate me for this but sturridge is not a CF , he is more of a SS . he doesn't have the attributes to play as a lone striker as his movement isn't top notch a la El nino , he is not strong talisman who can hold the ball for teammates a la Didier and he is not a clinical finisher a la Eto or Falcao .The most important thing if falcao arrives is the departure of Drogba , anelka and kalou . And the arrival of 2 wingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Was it 30?No their not good enough lolBut that is besides the point, the fact is even with this same midfield they still both scored 12+ goals.Falcao will not score 30 goals with this midfield, but he will not score 1 either.

magic weeds 446 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 while with a shitty midfield at Bolton, Sturridge scores 8 goals in 12 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Exactly!He's always been a world-class striker, but his injuries and lack of form recently certainly haven't been helped by our lack of midfield creativity. Most of his goals for Liverpool came courtesy of Gerrard.Looking at Torres 07/08 season focusing on PL only, he scored 24 goals and had 3 assists. Gerrard had 11 goals and 11 assists so the big assumption is Gerrard provided most of those assists for Torres. Torres has never been one to provide a lot of assists either.I was looking at Chelsea 2010/11 PL only and I was surprised:Drogba with 13 assists (highest on the team)Torres and Lampard tied with 2 assists each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 For me Torres doesnt fit in blue. I dont like, and never will. Even if he succeed and scores the winning goal in a CL final, you'll never see me wearing a shirt with his name.As long as he is a Chelsea's player I want him to score goals, but at the same time I want him to play elsewhere.Okay, so supposing Torres, come the end of next season becomes top scorer... and Modric's pass completion is over 60% ... would you still want Torres to play elsewhere.You know what I think? The reason why Torres' Chelsea form has been off, is because he was bought in January! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamTrueBlue 2 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Not sure if anybody has read the topic and went on the link in the Fernando Torres thread yet but apparently the reason we are getting in Falcao is to replace Torres and not Drogba and that Chelsea are struggling to find buyers for Torres... you know i know i shouldnt listen to rumours but i cant be doing with that, got the new chelsea home shirt today with Torres on the back haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Torres wont leave, remember Abramovich wanted Torres as his main striker this yr hence the rumours of Drogba leaving starting. Relax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
