Edinson Cavani

[GermanBlue 82]

I just can't see Ba leaving after just a half year. If one striker leaves, it will be Torres. Ba is the perfect rotation striker to me.

Right and schurle can play up front if needed.

There's a bigger chance of Hazard doing the false 9 like at Juventus than Schürrle playing the striker I think. And for a reason. Schürrle is awful if he plays alone up front. I can see him as a second striker, but not alone.

Don't forget that this season was a bit different, only Torres was eligible for europa league, Ba was cup tied.

So starting with only Cavani and lukaku is already an upgrade (in term of quantity, not quality... heu wait )

If the rumors for Hulk are true, another one that can play as striker, so Cavani and only lukaku are enough for me

Please, no Hulk. the guy isn't suitable to EPL at all. too heavy

edit:

I just realized my first post my have sound contradictory if I said I don't think we'll play with two strikers except on need and then I go saying that Mou will probably have someone to play like Cris did.

I meant we won't have for example Torres + Lukaku playing the same match except the eventual exception. But I do think he'll develop either Eden or Oscar to play like Cris did - but I'm not saying he's going to make them the next Cris... I'm not crazy

Not yet, that De laurintis bloke is too busy in his hot tub with ladies massaging his ego and thighs.

De Laurentiis couldn't take the call. He didn't have Skype. They'll have to call again tomorrow.

How come? He is perfect build for EPL. Oscar isn't the best one suited, too light. Gosh..

Yeah, keeping the fact away that EPL is not a physical league.

[Barbara 15,149]

Physical could have two meanings.

It's not physical in the way the Italian is.

But as the game is much fast-paced than in other places, it does involve a good physical preparation.

I think a faster guy is more suitable than a heavy guy... Drogba is strong, but not too heavy although he's slower now, but that's because he isn't getting any younger.

I was talking about Hulk don't forget even though it's Cavani's thread. Hulk has both, pace and strength. And "I think a faster guy is more suitable than a heavy guy.." tell that to Yaya Toure for example.

[Barbara 15,149]

and how many other examples we have of guys like Van Persie?

and you're right. Wrong thread.

Cavani is a better fit imo than Hulk. I don't like Hulk.

[nono 791]

Hulk can't get by the quicker defenders, has low stamina, selfish. Can anyone describe to me what it is exactly about him that warrants that kind of money ? Hasn't he flopped in Zenit ?

[Cosmin 2,484]

Cavani is the right man for us. I always wanted him more than Falcao and Hulk combined.

Come on, get this done!

Jose's £110m strike! Chelsea open talks with Cavani and Hulk... and Mourinho has Jovetic in the bag

LOL

It's likely bullshit, but Jose would fucking annihilate Europe with these players added to our current squad.

Where art thou oh Cavani? quickly come to Stamford Bridge cos that place is now your fortress....

[Barbara 15,149]

we'd still need a good DM and good CB

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

The fail story says that if we sign cavani and hulk it casts doubts over oscar and mata???? How
