Chelsea eye striker deal

[the wes 7,212]

Chelsea No2 Ray Wilkins admits the club are weighing up bringing in a new striker this January The Blues are currently second in the Premier League after Didier Drogba's return inspired a 2-0 Boxing Day win over West Brom.

But having operated with just Nicolas Anelka up front for the bulk of the season, Wilkins claims a fresh face could be brought into to bolster the attack.

The assisant manager said: "We have got the injury situation haven't we?

"If you lose both in the same game, you always need cover with injuries.

"You have to have a top end of your side with goalscoring ability otherwise we are not going to progress through the Premier League.

"We have supplemented Didier's injury with the players we have here and Nicolas' goals have been top drawer, so from that aspect we are thrilled and it has been fantastic."

Adriano wants to leave inter

And he's a lazy, partying, and arrogant guy that's been shite since 2005 or 2004 so I deffo don't want him.

should be an interesting window... Owen anyone?

[misschief 24]

I reckon it'll be about as beneficial as the last one.

Hmm i dont no about owen, he used to be a decent player but now he gets so many injuries and thats the last thing we need at the moment. We are looking for a striker as cover and if he gets injured we will basically be in the same boat as what we where before if we signed him.

Better than Heskey any day and You never know, maybe he will find some new motivation under Scolari and get back to his best.

Personally I'd rather go for a striker that is proven in the EPL. Amr Zaki fits the bill, and he's only 25.

Vagner Love from CSKA Moscow

I think that Adriano now not at high level. It should go to Brazil and have a good time on a carnival in Rio )))))))

Aguero?

Aguero?

Aguero is a lie of the press

Aguero is a lie of the press

And it costs the big money...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Aguero would cost over £60 million. Not an option it would appear. Zaki or Fabiano are my options. Can't we recall Pizarro?

[LAS 0]

Pizarro well plays the Werder but it seems to me is not necessary to Chelsea... as Shevchenko too
