What's new

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

I'd love the idea of having PEA, the guys fast and has great finishing (don't know why people believe he misses a lot of chances, has got one of the best goals per shot ratios you'll find).

Lukaku's first touch will betray him at a top club, though he's still a good striker, just not a great one.

Belloti has got a ridiculous price tag, though that one simply depends on whether the Chelsea higher ups are willing to spring it, but would also be a great signing.

As for morata, he has a great goals per min ratio, and seems to be a well rounded player. I wouldn't be disappointed with any of those three, but still prefer PEA

I agree. My only misgiving with Pierre is that his style of play is different to what we go for. If we get him then we just need to re-jig the formation again. Conte is flexible enough and the squad should be flexible enough as most of them now have played various systems.

I think an issue is that we've never really seen him play in any other style, though if conte can make Alonso and moses into title winners, he's gotta see something. But you're absolutely right

lol what are you on about? No club is stumping the cash for Morata at least not at 90m and he wants to stay on Real's good graces. Better as a sub than be frozen out totally. Real doesn't need money unless it funds for Mbappe.

Zidane doesn't want him to leave and Benzema is on a decline, he knows the league and the fans love him. Not a bad decision at all for all parties involved. Why would he even make a ruckus at the club that gave him his debut?

Cause he never be a regular Striker, never the main man in the attack. Never be remember as great player.

That`s why, that i said he doesn`t have that something special and never ever will become great player.

 
After Lukaku I was sure we would make morata happen at all costs, looks like he will stay, then belloti but it looks like AC Milan will be willing to pay more, now it's Aubameyang or no one, well No one good enough to replace Costa anyway, and I'm starting to feel we may even bring back remy to back up bats....every time we have a chance to blow away the competition or at lest cement ourselves as elite again we tank it during transfer season.

When we won in 2015 under Jose I remember Neville saying if we strengthen he can see us dominating for the next 5 years...we finished 10th picked ourselves back up and it seems instead of pushing the envelope we will make "decent signings" again and we will be left to struggle in the CL and even for top 4 the ways those round us are strengthening.

Dont get me wrong I'm quite happy with the signings I think they being strength in the spine and depth but are they too marquee signings..no. 

If replace Costa, a 20 goal striker, with bats or some disheartening signing like Llorente we will be no better as a whole than last season, now with Europe and stronger competitors.

It seems self harming, when you're on top you plant your flag not give everyone a chance to come up to displace you. I was sure we would get a striker signed now I'm not so sure, we really need to kiss and make up with Costa.

Offer him a pay rise and a loyalty bonus if he stays away from approaches for the whole season until next summer.

Well if you can see into the future then who am I to argue. Fun fact tho that's what people probably said about Drogba and Kante when they were playing with Ligue 2. Drogba bloomed when he was 25, he almost became an accountant.

Even Aubameyang wasn't as prolific 2 years ago and now he outscored Lewandowski.

Lewandowski was basically an unknown player until that 1 night against Real.

In football you never know

Milan fans never believed Juventus will sell Bonucci to them

Different set of circumstances my friend. Juve is a club that allows their players to leave it's a self-sustaining business model for them. Their revolving door policy makes it easier for players to prove their worth playing under a good system whilst at the same time know that they can leave anytime if another club comes calling

Our best hope is for Spurs to fail to qualify for the CL next season, even then if he did leave I'd be surprised if Real Madrid weren't in for him.

Nah, not flashy enough for Madrid. Kane is effective but doesn't give you the impression of elite footballer. Madrid tend to sign players that has marketing potential. Kane is rustic and can be homely to some

Benzema was highly rated back before he signed for Real. It's safe to say that he sacrificed his chances to be in the limelight for Ronaldo. Benzema links the best with Ronaldo than anyone else.

That's a bit of a stretch, I mean he was ok, but even Oscar Pistorius would link up well with Ronaldo

Not sure just met you but I can definitely see you have the potential. 

Harry Kane is 23, he will score 30 goals next season, in 2 or 3 years if he keeps going like this he will be one of the top strikers in the World, he is English, PL experience and you would get 10 years out of him, or 5 and resell him for a stupidly high fee.

 Messi is 30 years old, I don't believe would score 20 goals in the PL and he will be done in 3 years, he is small and not very hardy, I think the physicality of the PL at 30 would seriously inhibit his abilities, he has never scored into Chelsea for that reason. Plus we already have hazard who fills any roll Messi could play , so yes I would, for our team take Harry Kane who is a perfect fit for Chelsea over Messi today, only plus Messi has for me over Kane is commercial value, maybe better to ask someone their reasons before making a cheeky comment, especially when you haven't really thought about it.

I'll agree with you on this Don Antonio. Messi is still awesome, but he is on the wrong side of the hill and would be less use to us than Kane. 

Literally 0% chance of us getting him though, even with a ludicrous world record bid.
