Mario Gómez

[GermanBlue 82]

So Gomez for 20 Million Euros would be imo a better signing than Cavani for 63.

Dzeko is, but not Gomez. He's too lazy, he's hardly running after balls and closing down. That's why he was sorted out at Bayern. While Dzeko also isn't the hardest worker against the ball, he has a lot better, more dynamic movement in the box while Gomez needs 5 minutes to turn and face the goal. He's also technically way too limited to play alongside Hazard, Mata and co. If he has an opportunity in the box, he rarely misses, but I'd like a more dynamic stirker at Chelsea.

a)Chelsea might want to sign Gomez;b)Chelsea might want put pressure on Napoli,which want to replace Cavani with Gomez;

Don't know why so many people here want to avoid Gomez like the plague.

He's got a similar goal to game ratio as Cavani and would cost less than half the price. If he flopped it wouldn't be a financial disaster unlike with Cavani.

We'd all rather have Cavani, but if we got Gomez on the cheap we could pour a shit load of investment into central midfield.

[Leif 6,006]

He does nothing aside from hit tap-ins. Nothing. Apart from breathe and the occasional jog and the other basic body functions. This isn't even an exaggeration. Unless you want to include 10 passes a game.

Fair point..but I'd hate to see us settle for Gomez...whilst City gets Cavani.

Have you actually seen him play? He scores goals..not just tap-ins.

And if we actually invested into our midfield...we wouldn't really need a world-class forward.

[Pizy 17,860]

With the money we could save we can go out and buy Modric and Matic to have as our CM partnership.

Muppet Mode ENGAGE!

Chelsea logic

Napoli want Gomez to replace Cavani

Chelsea unwilling to pay Cavani's release clause

Chelsea see that Napoli want Gomez

Chelsea buy Gomez

Chelsea offer Gomez + cash for Cavani

Spending 30 million (that's the fee Benfica want) on Matic is just as bad as paying Cavani's buyout clause.

Let's see how Romeu goes...

because he is as technically gifted as thomas gravesen...we need a player who has a decent 1st touch and can combinate with our players. its not coincidence that mandzukic is preferred to gomez. gomez is a good goal-scorer but beside this he aint doing nothing for the team. he is waiting in the penalty box for the pass and is tapping it in. 90% of his goals are tap-ins. he has scored some others too, yes, but mostly goals come from 3-5 metres. would either pay 30 m more for Cavani than 30 m for Gomez...but Mou is a Gomez fan so i can believe this could happen. would be awful though

[Leif 6,006]

He'd be a good super-sub and that is it.

His job is to score and everyone knows he does that very well, all other aspects don't matter if your striker isn't scoring.

Yes, it does. A good striker not only brings goals but also improves the team's overall play.

I'd take a good finisher above someone that misses easy chances but improves the team's overall play.

Gomez is an old fashion centre-forward, his technical ability is limited but he'll get you goals.

Cavani should be our #1 priority...but Gomez for 15-20 mil isn't a bad option.

[Waterfall 893]

Rather have Gomez at 18M than Cavani at 53M.

People underrate Gomez way too much. At worst he's a good finisher.
