Radamel Falcao

And Madrid want to keep T. Courtois. This could be a part of the deal

No chance, I cant see us have Falcao and Torres... it's just not going to happen

why couldn't we have Torres and Falcao?

Torres had a meeting with our board after the champions league final, said he wanted to be our number one striker and our board must of agreed.

he has to earn it, a bit of competition can only be a good thing. We have alot of games to play next season both would get plenty of minutes. I just really cant see us going into next season with our 3 strikers being Torres and 2 youngsters. Im pretty sure we will sign another striker.

£60m? I call b/s. From recent transfer rumours/stories we're targeting back ups who are cheaper, like Giroud & Shurrle (spelling). It doesn't make sense if we then decide to spend that sum on Falcao.

I agree, but i don't think our board does.

We're not going to have 2 £50m strikers in the squad are we? If we want Falcao, Torres must go.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

TBH I don't think we'll need him anyway. IMO Torres will give us plenty of firepower. We're also underestimating Sturridge.

Would happily have him over Torres. Much more all rounder striker than Torres is. And don't think we're underestimating Sturridge, just that he is still pretty much unproven particularly as the main striker.

Well there's no need to fork out £45-50 million for another striker. We have other areas to strengthen and Torres should and will get one final chance to prove himself.

Unproven? He scored enough goals as winger the past season, and did 8 goals in 12 games for Bolton aswell.

Different level of expectations and pressure playing for Chelsea and for Bolton. And yes, while he scored lots of goals as a RW last season, what other thing has he done there? He wasn't working hard enough defensively, was too selfish in his play and prone to make the wrong decisions in the final third. To play as a striker upfront these days or any player for that matter, you need to show adaptibility and ability to play and work hard for the team. Takes more than just scoring goals to be a top player and getting into the team.

If we are to go for a striker,I hope we go for Cavani instead of the much talked Falcao.So if Torres flops,I wish for the arrival of Cavani in January.

[Pizy 18,891]

Our absolute priority should be a creative midfielder. A top notch striker can wait until January if need be. All of this attacking power we're assembling will be for nothing if the engine in midfield isn't doing shit like last season.
