Both deals are far from done for either players, and as we seen with the Hazard saga last season, anything can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really is imperative that we make the right moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to spot wasting ridicules money on strikers, cause we always have problem with them. Kezman, Crespo, Sheva, Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 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. Berke, 11Drogba and DDA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Berke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 11Drogba and Peace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laeth 527 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Sivori 38 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 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. The Skipper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 21, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted May 21, 2013 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.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.
