SinineUltra 1,170 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The problem is you're then continuing to build around short-term players. That's a mistake of this season choosing to use Eto'o & Torres, but it was justified because we were limited in what we could do in this window and Mourinho had to adopt himself within this squad. Ibra will be 33 in October so we'll get at best 2-seasons of prime Zlatan. Though maybe in those two years we'd have better forwards to choose from, because at the moment CFC are in a situation where we have to spend big to sign a renown forward player and the clubs know it. I do get your point but Ibra is a winner and it would give us options in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt people would prefer a 25 -27 yr old world class striker., (and Cavani would be my first pick in that category) but if we're talking about developing a younger striker there's not much chance he can get when the first choice striker is going to hang around for 5-6 yrs.

While Oscar, Hazard & co begin to mature and come into their own we'll continuously be halted by the absence of a long-term striker. And if we took Blue Armour's suggestion of using him to bring through Lukaku, what if Ibra is brilliant in the 2 season we get out of him and thus he actually hampers Lukaku's progress?

nyikolajevics 2,702 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Strange there is not talk about Chelsea interested in gettin Cavani after Luiz deal.We probably sign Costa, Torres stays and we also have Lukaku. I don't think we should go for such an expensive striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 To be honest I think Cavani is way better.Cavani may be the better player, but he will cost in the region of £55 million. That's £20 million more than Costa, is he that much better? I'm not so sure. Also take into account his high wages. Costa is a no brainer for me, he may not be the better player but for the money we're spending on him I think its a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the money is an issue here. Also Cavani is the safe option, he has a track record of good seasons in european leagues, and playing for Uruguai. Diego Costa has only one great season in his CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 His movement, the runs he makes, and the work rate he has where he helps all over the pitch is second to none among strikers. Truly the PERFECT José center forward.We'd win the PL and CL with him leading our line. If it were up to me we'd break the bank for him. Don't care if it's £50m or £60m he'd be worth it. We have the cash. mediator, Daniel1980, BlueSunshine and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Sure, he may not have a 100% conversion rate but just look at the work he does. Drops deep in midfield to help out, drops back and defends where a fullback should be, and then still has the energy and hunger to play as a pure striker.
