Hey guys what do you think of the signing of Didier?
I guess its okay if and only if Torres leaves cause if he doesn't I think we will be back to where we started with of course Costa an improvement on Ba, but this is his first season and he is a little injury prone. Costa, Lukaku and Didier, and I'll be thrilled. That sets up gives us physicality, experience, pace, energy and a whole lot of goals. so what do you guys think?

I don't understand it, it is just stopping another youngster being given a chance to prove himself. Also we need some versatility in our striking options and he is exactly the same as Costa. I would have preferred someone who has rapid pace and looks to run in behind defences as a plan B striker.

{Ed018's Note - what youngster do you think is ready this season to be a second or third choice striker for Chelsea?}

Agree with Woody that we need more variety. Someone with pace. But none of our youngsters are ready yet. Bamford is still at least a year or two away from being ready, Boga and Brown are too young and raw.

Bamford must stay with Chelsea and Mourinho should be able to provide him match time and experience.

Bamford is not ready if that's who you mean, needs a prem loan to a team where he will play a lot, one of promoted teams, also we got to send these boys to vitese for one year and then to prem or top championship teams,

What's that coming over the hill (again)?

Drogba has joined on a one year contract. I think that probably means Lukaku is off as I can't see Torres leaving.

I don't understand the signing unless he is going to be a coach and teaches the whole team how to shoot.

Probably that's the idea.

Suddenly there's interest in Torres from A.Madrid and Monaco. Maybe Chelsea can make a deal with French side.
Lukaku has 40m£ price tag and I don't see any club ready to spend so much money on Lukaku. up to now there was interest from many clubs to take him on loan for a season.
