Scolari: I do not need another striker

[the wes 7,212]

Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari insists he won't be buying a new striker this month.

After their draw with FA Cup rivals Southend, Scolari said: 'When I arrived here, I saw one player which I said to buy, Deco.

"Now, with this team, we are in good condition, we are second in the league, we are in the Champions League, we may make many mistakes at Stamford bridge, but away we are very good.

"I am satisfied because I have good players and I have many strikers, maybe one time they don't score a goal, but I have good strikers

Well we need a winger, and some cover for A. Cole.... I'd say Zhirkov fits the mould perfectly.

Your right we might need some cover for cole now but im sure if we really needed it we do still have paulo who can cover there if we are in need. I say if we bring any players in this jan we should defiantly be eyeing a winger, someone who is quick and can rip defences apart.

He wanted to buy one player and that player is playing shit...

we clearly need a couple more players.

& we cant rely on away form because thats dipping and the fans want to see improvement at home...

Starting to think the bloke really dont have a clue

[Laylabelle 9,408]

He said on Thurs in a press interview he werent gana buy anyone cause he's happy with what he's got

[Kez 2,727]

he's happy with having no back up?

[misschief 24]

He's talking absolute shit if he thinks he can keep dwindling our squad down and not bringing in cover.

Zhirkov might actually be the ideal player.

We got rid of Shevchenko and Pizarro.....brought in Di Santo. Now I'm no Carol Vorderman, but 4-2+1 doesnt make 4.

I'm not too worried about cover for LB as Ferreira has shown he can do a job there. At least till the summer if called upon.

[Laylabelle 9,408]

I wouldn't say we need another striker so much cause thats stupid esp as we only seem to play with one at a time for some reason

Just I duno one spark that we're defo missing,like said a winger.D a unjurued version of Robben something like that

Ferria was pretty good on Sat,one of the few who seemed to care!

We can do absolutely fine with the strikers we have... if we get a competent winger on board.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Agreed. The cover for Ash is already there in Ferreira and if I'm not mistaken, Mineiro played at left-back at Hertha Berlin for a few weeks whilst their first choice LB was out injured last year.

How the fuck did you know that Alex?

Spitting image Haha Elliott we've got Setanta at home, remember watching the Bundesliga highlights.

[Elliott 7]

That still doesn't explain why you would have remembered that minute detail!

Well I have a brilliant statistical mind that stores all kind of useless, football-related-bullshit, leaving no room for what I'm meant to be learning at school
