I'm currently listening to Coldplay live at the Emirates on Absolute Radio. It's the most noise coming out of that place since it's been built.

Mikel's problem is that he that the job he does for the club is unglamorous but its a job her does well. I really rated his performances in the CL this year. Why replace him? Why spend 20m on M'vila or Tiote when we have Mikel and Romeu as back up? And people moan that we're throwing money away on Hulk!

^ Maybe don't get too pissed off. It's only a football discussion.
As it happens, I agree with you, it would be absolute lunacy to get another striker, assuming we buy Hulk, who can fill in in that position and give us another option, i.e. a more physical one, thereby also allowing Lukaku to go out on loan, as he needs to do.
The bottom line is this ..
We spent £50m on Torres, so there's no point signing someone for big bucks that might threaten his position, unless you sell him of course, which we're not going to do.
As back-up for Torres we have Sturridge, who has waited patiently at Chelsea for his shot of playing up front. What, are we going to make that wait entirely futile? No, we're going to make him Torres' back-up, as he deserves to be, so what's the point of signing someone with a big reputation that takes that shot away from Sturridge? Sturridge is going to surprise a lot of people, in fact, by the end of the season, I wouldn't be surprised if he's established himself as our number one striker. He has pace (far more than Torres), he has skill, he has an eye for goal, finishing, and he has that bit of arrogance every striker needs. His selfishness won't be such a problem when he plays his rightful position, which is up front. He may not be the finished article, but he has played precious little competitive football when you break it down, and he can only develop if he plays games. He will give Torres competition and that's healthy, so signing someone else is a no-no.
Last season, Torres and Drogba alternated as our front man, next season it will be Torres and Sturridge with Hulk as back-up, and that's sufficient. People say we had Kalou, Drogba, Torres, Sturridge and Anelka last term, but Anelka left straight away, and neither Kalou or Sturridge played up front. We will be fine with 3 strikers, and if something occurs, like an injury for example, we can always sign someone else in the winter, but we probably won't need to.
Right now, we should leave the front positions well alone, and that's an order.

A little something i just made up....

These are the cream of what i've come across so far on facebook lol

Cameron, Obama and Merkel watching Chelsea rule the roost.

Random rumour of the day: I've heard Chelsea won the Champions League. Surely not?

Cheers mate. Absolutely devastated, to play like we did and then lose. Proud of the team, they gave everything.
Have a good day.
