What's new

Higuain

Glad to see the back of this chump. 

Jesus when it comes to picking strikers, we really are terrible. The majority are over the hill. About time we changed strategy i think? More than happy to have just Giroud and Tammy this season seeing as we cant make any signings.

It is weird that we can't pick them.  Drobga is obviously the stand out but other than that I'd argue only Costa and Anelka can hold their heads high for us in the last 15 years.

The likes of Remy, Ba and Eto’o did alright. Probably did what was expected of them but the bigger money strikers we sign? Eurgh...

I would argue Crespo too. He was brilliant the 2 seasons he played for us, but unfortunately couldn't settle.

He only went downhill due to the death of kids in his family which deeply affected his personal life... Cant blame him at all.

Drogba and Costa are the clear standouts. Aside from them, you could even argue that when we bough Anelka he was way past his prime (despite still actually not being too bad for us)

 
In the Abramovich era, Drogba and Costa are the obvious standouts.

Notable mentions for Crespo and Anelka who were solid.

 
Speaking of Costa he’s been linked with moves to Everton and West Ham. 

I find this baffling for several reasons:

- he hated living in England

- he’s only 30 and can surely do better than those two.

Anyone else think it’s strange?

They're rumours. Someone somewhere probably made them up after the Friday drinks with the office.

example of the dirty red media spin that Chelsea has to deal with - anything to unsettle the club is printed - also the Conte relationship probably put DC off a bit as well - now DC is trying to get that last big paycheck to end his career - I don't blame him though - get paid to play while you can IMO

To which club Diego is rumoured to be linked to, is of no concern to Chelsea anymore, why would the club get unsettled over that? And West Ham as the last big paycheck destination? If you want to to go down the conspiracy path, you need to think up better examples  :wink:

nope...Any EPL side is paying more than many other clubs. ATM, DC is not where he was say 5 years ago. Right now I am sure he is hoping to make about 15 million before his career is over. Father Time is coming for him soon. BTW on the topic of the media unsettling Chelsea, I was talking about when DC was at Chelsea. You know during that winning streak in 2014/15 & Top of The Table. The media didn't appreciate the run & were pulling all of the stops in hope to derail Chelsea. Sorta like the Europa League Final. All I heard was how le arse had the best attack & how Emery knew how to win the competition. In the end, we had the last laugh.

 
I doubt Atletico is willing to sell Costa after losing Griezman, as much as being crazy person. If he's leaving, at least he'd go to a team playing in the Champions league, or one with unlimited budget.

He'll probably end up in China or Turkey for his final big bucks, not at a British club.

Every supporter thinks everybody and their milkman is against their club. Well, perhaps not Liverpool supporters, they're too busy with other things.

Tbh i'm think he may even be punching above his weight with those 2. He's declined just as badly as Alexis has if not worse.

I know sticky poo is worrying about signing players - I believe Chelsea have made more signing than them & Chelsea is serving a transfer ban :Troll_Face:
