Which player would be better suited to Chelsea, Falcao or Cavani? I would personally prefer Falcao and play him in a 442 system.

Falcao 100%.

Cavani for me.

If we want to carry on playing the 4-2-3-1 formation then it should be Cavani

I think we need a striker who has pace and can basically interchange with the wingers. Somebody who can come back to get the ball and distribute if need be.

If I had to choose between a target man (Falcao) and somebody more athletic/versatile (Cavani), I'd pick Cavani.

Spot on. Cavani will suit better. He's got pace, power, more versatile, can hold up play, etc.

Cavanis overall athleticism makes him a safer pick in my opinion. I'm just worried Falcao pulls a Nando or Sheba because he isn't all that special athletically but thrives on being in the right place at the right time.

Plus, Cavani is younger.

Isn't that special athletically!! Pffff some people. Look what he did against us in the super cup, none of his goals were tap ins. Or what he has done against Barca, Real, Bilbao, should I go on. ? Just cause Cavani is bigger doesn't mean he holds the ball up better. His passing is erratic to say the least and he lacks the footballing intelligence of Falcao. Falcao is also used to playing a similar style of play to ours whereas Napoli's style is more hood upfield and hope Cavani will make something of it. Falcao has also dealt with the pressures of a big price tag before, and is better in the important matches compared to Cavani.

Our problem is a striker keeps drifting wide & coming to deep, exactly what cavani will do. closes and clogs the midfield it will fail.

Am sorry but if spurs are comparing bale to Ronaldo then mata is better than messi! 17 goals and 19 assists! Beats bale all day long! I dread to think what mata would be like if he had pace

What's wrong with those comparisons? Bale is so similar to CR7 but that doesn't mean he's as good as CR7. Mata is also good but certainly not as Messi; so what's the point?

Bales no even in the same league as CR7, for 4 starters he's only got one good foot, and hasn't played at a high enough level consistently for a lengthy period

Whilst I get that they are similar in stature and style of play, a lot of pundits seem to be saying that Bale is as good as or better than Ronaldo. In fact there was an article comparing there first 7 years in the prem on tv.

Bale regularly swaps sides and has scored many with his right foot. as he plays in similar position comparisons are obvious. there is no doubt the older of the two guys is the finished article whereas bale isnt. naturally cr7 is by far more talented always has been and always will be but as wingers comparisons will be made. as for the mata and messi comparison, probably similar to the bale cr7 you can compare them but mata is no where near as good as messi

Troll allert once again. Bale is similar to CR7 LOL.
