Sturridge PL starts 8, 7 goals.
torres PL starts 26 goals 7.

How on earth did we sell sturridge and kept torres.
I saw him yesterday, he has changed completly and has become a good team player with excellent movment.

He would have been excellent up front with mata, hazard and oscar behind. certainly better than torres

This is getting boring now, Sturridge has an attitude problem and although his good his not as good as he thinks he is, man city and Chelsea both saw that, if Chelsea had of played v that Newcastle Torres would of bagged 4 or 5 they were horrendous, I'm glad he went. ,

I think you highlighted the point yourself. 'He has changed completely'. His attitude and selfishness led him to being sold. Not to mention his trigger happiness and shooting from obscure and random angles. He's changed since going to Liverpool and it's worked out for him. When he had his opportunities earlier in the season he didn't show the sort of quality he's showing now.

Newcastle were completely all over the place. It was schoolboys vs men in that match.

Sturridge has a massive ego, doesn't help with his old man claiming how good he is, I hate big headed people especially ones who thinks he's better than he is. He's never gunna be world class so he ain't good enough for us. I've seen sturridge take a shot from 30 yards instead of a simple pass where he could of had an easy assist. He has also got a point to prove to Chelsea when he came on and also Brendan rogers after a fall out. Once he's settled again hell go back to being the greedy big ego sturridge.

Sturridge hasn't changed, he has always been good, and most certainly better than Torres.

He has few good games. What about v Southampton when he was lazy and greedy and shot from silly angles. Or west brom when he was in lukaku's shadow. Few good games and his a superstar. Glad we got rid as he'd only be jealous of lukaku next year anyway. I remember Sturridge saying in papers why he should be ahead of kalou Torres and DROGBA! We went in to win champ league.

Hi Chelsea fans we don't really have much luck with strikers only Drogba we really got our money's worth (legend) but think are luck would change in falcao I no people saying that cavani would be better or the lad from Dortmund but my opinion falcao is the complete striker out of all of them strong fast great header of a ball, mobile, creative and the boy can finish. He's got everything only fear we've been linked with him for Afew years now and look what happened when we were linked with Sergio ageuro (spelling) we were interested with him for ages and then went city and look how gud he's become in prem, just hope same doesn't happen

And if/when Falcao comes to Chelsea and scores some 22 goals a season. How would you rate him then? Will it be worth 50 million transfer fee and some 10 million a season in salaries and other costs, like agent fees which I have no clue of?

Will that be a return you crave for? Is it worth the money? He'll be 28 next season. Imagine he has an ok first season, like same Suarez had upon arriving to England. His second season he'd be 29.

A player of that quality can make a difference between a league winner and a wannabe (look up for RVP). But that is a huge investment nevertheless. Somehow other teams usually manage it at half the money we do.

Falcao next contract will be his last big one in my eyes 28 yrs old 4/5 yr deal no sell on price he will make the money back on what we win I just think if we had him last yr we wouldn't be in the situation we are now. Think Torres will go and we bought Ba because Torres was struggling and he had a good goal scoring record in the prem proven in the premiership that's the important bit not because Ba was world class because he nows the premiership. My opinion lukaku is better than Ba and bring falcao in as a new striker also shurrle can play there need a gud strong midfielder as well.

Exactly. I actually agree with you for once JG. I'm not sure either Falcao or Cavani are worth the money. 60M euros for Falcao or 70M for Cavani is a lot of money. We could buy another Hazard and Mata for the same price at Falcao.
Lewandowski is in his final year of his contract cand could be available for around 20-25M euros. There are other quality strikers out there that are available. I personally would like Higuain. He's 25 a top clinical striker, who's likely to be available as Real's looking at others.

Aubameyang :)

Will soon see what happens just my opinion falcao is the more complete striker for me 50million 5 years that 10million a yr if he does the business bargin in my eyes but am not the one paying haha am shore the rite decisions will be made come the summer

The unfortunate reality is that Higuain is a class below the other strikers mentioned. If we want to be challenging for the title and in europe again then we have to get the best out there!

I never questioned the deals we make money wise before the PFF. Now, as far as I see it if the fail with mega bucks deals they'll haunt us, unlike the Sheva, Torres busts of the past.

United or Bayern will get Lewandowski for a decade and will spend around 25 million euros. Perhaps he is not a "marquee" signing in someone's eyes, therefor we'll focus elsewhere.

JG

Falcao and Cavani are the two best strikers in the world atm but that doesn't mean that it'll work out if they come here. Other teams out there still do really well with strikers that are 'below their level'. Higuian scores pretty much between 20-30 goals a season.
To spend 110M/120M Euros on tranfer fees and wages for Falcao or Cavani is a major risk. We've gone out and bought 2 major marquee signings as strikers and neither have worked out. For me I'd be happy to have someone on Higuain/Benzema/Lewandowski's level. Not to mention they're all younger and could potentially have sell on values.

Aubameyang would be an ideal signing for me, but I see him as more of a compliment striker.

Lukaku is better than Ba, I'd have Lukaku back and move Ba on.

Torres will still likely move on, that would leave Aubameyang and Lukaku.

At his age, with his fee and wages, is Falcao an option the club should go for? I don't think so! For me Cavani is the ideal striker for us, but I see him in the whit of Real Madrid next season. Lewandowski would be good, but I see him at either United or Bayern next season. the options are dwindling!

If only signing players was as easy as listing them on here!
