Assesing our Attack

Keep believing that #insiderinformation #rightwhereiwantyou

I am really anxious about getting Diego Costa. I think that if we get Costa, Courtois will still be loaned to AM for another year. If we keep Courtois, we won't get Costa.

If we have a better option on getting a "top class" striker, we should consider that.

I don't even remember what the rules of the bet are.

I don't think so, Atleti are not in the best shape financially, if we come in with a big enough offer, they will accept. Regardless of Courtois, as they need the money.

Also, the only other name being thrown around who could be available is Mandzukic, who, imo, isn't as good as Costa.

Ibra, Cavani, Aguero, Lewandowski, Benzema are all unrealistic.

Falcao is injured long term and a big gamble now imo.

Costa is better than the likes of Dzeko, Negredo, Gomez, and any other players like that.

Suarez wouldn't last a night if he joined, Bran would eat him alive (pun intended)

So since January 2013, Lukaku has scored more goals on loan than every striker we've had since then has, COMBINED.

Terrible showing, it should change next year though.

Even worse - they knew the problem and did n't fix it

Easier said than done.

Nah, Easily Done.

Costa, Lukaku and Eto'o.

Goals galore there tbh.

I was speaking in regards to the past 2 windows, as Nedved alluded to.


Now is obviously a different story.

Oh ok.

brb Costa is an average striker like Fred.

Oh wait...

Dem haters

Mourinho confirms we'll be going back into the market for a new striker:
-

“We thought the market was closed for us but, if Nando opened that market, we would have to go into it again. We would try to make the best possible deal.”

“We’ll react by buying a foreign striker because I don’t see an English striker in the market that would come to us, or where his club would let him. If we lose a foreign striker, we need another foreign striker.”
