Edinson Cavani

Seriously hope these 35 million price tags are utter bullshit or Napoli can get to fuck. Good player, don't like him that much, not worth 35 million. Seemples.

if we do lose and torres plays shit i think that is a big warning that we badly needs a striker before the season starts. i hope we win it will be good for the new players just here a few weeks and they wins a trophy

What i meant is Drogba had to earn that right to be called number 1 forward with performances on the pitch.

His first season he had to compete with Gudjohnsen, then Crespo in his second season, then the big money signing of Sheva in his 3rd. He relished the competition and showed on the pitch why he deserved to be number 1.

Hasselbaink needed 2 season's off stellar displays and lots of goals before he was regarded as number 1 forward.

The fact is those 2 relished the competition and earned the right to be called number 1 forward by performing like a number 1 forward.

Torres has been getting called number 1 forward due to his name only and it makes me sick, if he wants to be number 1 forward, he earns that title by displays on the pitch like Didier and Jimmy before him and if that means competing with Cavani then he does it, we paid £100m for him (contract and transfer), he owes us not the other way round.

Ah, that calmed me down. I totallt misunderstood you. Thought u meant that he "earns" the right, as in he earned it..

We should go after Damiao instead to continue with the Brazilian Invasion theme.

I would chop off my left bollock if we signed him. No. No. No.

Napoli eye move for Chelsea's £8m-rated midfielder Meireles

A fact that many seem to overlook. If Torres was playing for Napoli he'd score a hatful of goals as well.

That is not a fact at all. That is only a hypothetical situation.

I loan for josh too bolton/blackburn would be good if they play him 25-35 games!

I would much rather Llorente, as reports in Spain suggest he's told Bilbao he's not signing a new contract and wants to leave. As he only has a year left on his contract, it's likely he'll be available for around £15m and is looking for his £40k wages to be doubled which seems pretty fair.

I think Llorente would be a better fit as a Drogba replacement also than Cavani would.

Whomever said Chelsea are trying to replace Drogba?

I was under the impression the club was trying to move away from the old school target man style.

[cujo101 75]

I'm sure we will add a striker to the squad before the deadline. The only question is who will it be...

...BTW £8m for Meireles? I'd drive him to the airport for that.

Sooooo.....Are we getting him?

Nobody said drogba was being replaced, similarly to noone from the club saying we were trying to move away from the old school target man style.

No evidence directly from the club that we are looking to replace Drogba, similarly to no direct evidence from the club that we are looking to move away from a target man - just media rumours. Drogba however was so much more than an old school target man, that does him massive injustice.

Drogba in his prime IMO would have worked superbly with some of the attacking talent we've brought and i would expect RDM to want a couple of different plans to shake things up if they aren't working. Llorente is a different striker to Torres and would provide a different option.
