Edinson Cavani

[The Skipper 20,609]

Falcao I think is still possible but unlikely, but I think City will throw so much money at Napoli that they'll eventually get Cavani.

Cavani + Aguero with Silva and Yaya behind them. Really is imperative that we make the right moves.

It's not just down to Napoli though. You're forgetting that the player has a big say as well. Cavani might be more interested in the project we have going on here... Who knows? It's nowhere near as done as you're making it out to be.

[bushman 2,043]

Cavani or not... Play Lukaku. He's going to play his best for Chelsea.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Oh please. You think a 20 year old kid (Albeit very promising) will win us the league? I really wanted Cavani. To hear he's likely to be going to Citeh is shattering, since Falcao is off the table now, well almost.

The only ones left are Lewandowski and Rooney really. We must fucking act for fuck's sake. Why are we being so retarded? At this point buy them both in order to really compete.

Well Drogba was not a top dog like Cavani or Falcao when they came here.

Mourinho helped mold him into the top dog he became.

Mourinho does better with great potential prospect then top stars.

So Luakau, Benteke, and such will be great for Mourinho! :blue scalf:

We can't rely soley on Lukaku. A top striker needs to be brought in. End of story. No if, buts and maybes. This is a fact.

Well if we got Torres, there is no need. 3 strikers is good enough.

But I do want to get rid of Torres.....however the club is another story.

So for me it all relies on what happens with Torres. Cause if we also get Schurrle, that's full house. As the guy can also play a sort of striker role.

Schurrle is mediocre. I'll stick by that no matter what. If going into next season all we have is Ba, Torres and Lukaku then set your aims to another top 4 battle.

We won't be signing Cavani or any other big striker unless we can get rid of Torres; it just isn't going to happen.

Couldn't disagree more. That strike force is capable of winning us the title, so long as we improve the midfield. That's where we lost games this season.

You guys would be really, really scary with Cavani in front of Hazard, Mata and Oscar.

The man is a fearsome best. Constantly drops deep and plays GK, defender, midfielder and striker. He starts and finishes counter attacks. Posseses an awesome engine that powers a nonstop workrate. Will score with free kicks, headers, powerful drives, chips etc.... A complete footballer.

Nice, man.

We couldn't ask for more. Does he look like Messi too?

[chrismada9 1,948]

All that hype about us bringing in Falcao or Cavani and now it looks like we'll miss out on both.

... and get Lewandowski, who in my opinion, is better than both put together!

I agree. When you see us play, we don't really even play with a striker. That is why it is so difficult for Ba and Torres, because they have had to adapt their play to an incredible extent. This team has always focused around the attacking midfield talents of various players since the Mourinho tenure, and things aren't likely to change. That is one the hallmarks of a Mourinho team - the striker does the donkey work. Drogba was just an absolute freak of nature and the best striker I think will ever play for us, and we have been disappointed by Ba and Torres because Didier is such a tough act to follow. Drogba was selfless and gave his all for the team (for the most part), and it was his bullying of defenders that created opportunities and space for the likes of Essien, Lampard, Joe Cole, Ballack, etc. Our team almost excludes strikers in the way it plays, and they have to perform magnificently to join in on the act.

My point is this - Mourinho had Crespo, Drogba, and Gudjohnsen in 05/06. Yes, they all contributed goals, but none of them were, at the time, world-class. We won the title that season because of the contribution of the entire team, and the strikers acted as the main attacking fulcrum.

So, as far as I'm concerned, spending £50 million on another striker that will flop is pointless. Better to keep Torres, Ba and Lukaku.

When did bringing in SUPERSTAR striker worked out for us?

[chrismada9 1,948]

I take it that's a disagreement??

Remember when Lewandowski completely ripped Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid apart in Dortmund with 4 goals... kinda similar to when Didier Drogba for Marseille scored against Mourinho's Porto side some 9 years ago... consider it an omen! Mourinho brought him in at Chelsea, and look what Drogba achieved! That's the way I'm looking at the whole thing!

If Mourinho does trigger his second coming at the Bridge, I would sign Lewandowski up in a heartbeat! If Mourinho thinks he's good, he must be good! Sure, his last season at Real was a black mark in his managerial career, but we all know he can manage big egos!

because we bought them when they were already past their best. cavani/falcao are in the moment right at their prime...

[bushman 2,043]

Most likely, Chelsea should say bye-bye to Cavani. There is no doubt in my mind Cavani could become very successful at any PL club. However, at that price, I would say, give up on him & give Lukaku a proper chance, instead.
