Costa. Mandzukic. Kane/Austin.

Mandzukic is average and no way would we get Kane

Mandzukic is average. 

 

Can't agree with that personally. 

 

20 goals in 32 appearances for Atletico this season. 

 

He scored something like 50 goals in 90 appearances for Munich. 

 

He's a pretty consistent striker, that said I doubt he would come to Chelsea to play 2nd string to Diego. 

I'd take Mandzukic, but unless we're happy to pay way above his market value can't see Atletico being willing to sell.

 

Would love to see Ibra in for Drogs personally, but realistically wouldn't be surprised if we sign Adebayor or Zamora.

Mandzukic is an excellent all-round striker, magnificent in a pressing side too, I reckon Mourinho would love to have him.

 

I had him down as something of a flat-track bully, but this season he has seemingly scored twice against Real, and once each against Barca and Valencia. Gets an obsene number of bookings though. But FC is right, he is far too good to be playing second fiddle.

No chance. Way too risky. Need some experience in there backing up Costa, even if it's just Remy again.

Just as well play Ivan up front as he spends more time in the opponents box than he does defending his own....just saying..

Why are so many people wanting us to get rid of Remy ? what has he done wrong ?

^^He isnt world class.

Well that's just unrealistic, we ain't going to get a world class striker to play 2nd fiddle to Diego Costa.

 

Remy is a very good striker that can score important goals, we would be very lucky to get anyone better that is willing to play the same role as Remy.

I just assumed it was because he is French...

Costa

Remy

Bamford

Traore

 

That'll do me, no money spent on strikers, means more money available to try and get Bale and Pobga.

Costa, Ibrahimovic, Balotelli.

Is traore even a striker?

I thought he was an attacking midfielder?

He was initially a winger but has been playing as a centre forward for Vitesse, and has scored a bucketload ever since the conversion.

@Scott Harris. It is realistic to have a bunch of world class strikers. Man Utd have 3 world class strikers, RVP, Falcao and Rooney.

PSG have Cavani and Zlatan.

Real Madrid had Benzema and Higuain.

Liverpool had Sturridge and Suarez

Man City had Tevez and Aguero

There are caveats to that though.

 

Both Liverpool and City regularly play[ed] 4-4-2, which enabled both of their star strikers to start. PSG have had to shoehorn Cavani into a wide role so they can accommodate him and Ibrahimovic at the same time without sacrificing their shape or structure; this has failed to get the best out of him. And Real Madrid are Real Madrid, I won't attempt to rationalise their transfer policies, then again I wouldn't say that Higuain is a world-clas striker.

Costa, Ibrahimovic, Balotelli.

 

Ibrahimovic is getting old now and he would be asking for a lot of money, i doubt he would want to play 2nd fiddle to Diego Costa. Plus, he's a bit of a dick, he has too much of an ego.

 

Remy is better than Balotelli. I actually can't believe anybody still wants Balotelli, he's always been overrated and this season has proven just how average he is. He's full of himself and has a terrible attitude on the field. I actually can't think of a single good thing that would come out of signing Balotelli.

The difference is that all of these played pretty much every game for their club, that wouldn't happen here. I also wouldn't call Falcao and Van Persie world class anymore. Falcao has had a really poor season at United and Van Persie's injuries are catching up with him. I don't expect any of these 2 to be at United next season.

If you still call RVP and Ibrahimovic wold class then Drogba is still a wild class too :)

A lot of people saying Bamford but i think Bamford could do with a loan to PL side next year. Maybe another year with middlesborough if they earn promotion. He deserves and needs a lot of playing time, and if Costa recovers from his hamstring issues Bamford won't be featuring much at all next year.

He was initially a winger but has been playing as a centre forward for Vitesse, and has scored a bucketload ever since the conversion.

So did Piazon to be fair, not a great indication by any means. 

Balotelli should wind up at Stoke City or Olympiakos. Rumour has it, LFC have to pay him 10 million if they want to get rid of him.

Ibrahimovic is getting old now and he would be asking for a lot of money, i doubt he would want to play 2nd fiddle to Diego Costa. Plus, he's a bit of a dick, he has too much of an ego.

I wasn't really serious, but that trio would bring circus for sure 

 

Anyway, wouldn't mind Ibrahimovic if I'm honest, but Bamford or Brown would be really great to see at our bench next season, and I'm sure one of them would have enough chance to prove himself especially considering injury record of Costa and Remy.

Costa, Remy, Bamford. We also have the future England's strikers (Brown, Solanke).

Chicharito anyone?
