Next new Striker

I'm convinced we could sign M'Bappe or Haaland and they would immediately turn sh*t regardless. 

The striker curse at Chelsea has destroyed my confidence in forwards. I've seen far too many flops here.

Just as well sign Benteke then on a Free....f**k me we can't do any worse than what we have can we?

Ings is a great finisher yet injury prone.

Kane won't come to Chelsea and we won't meet the £150m valuation.

Haaland does look a once in a generation talent which makes me think he will end up in Spain.

Not sure on Mbappe as his game is very much built on speed.

Calvert-Lewin is an interesting shout as he has come on a lot. 

Lukaku is better than we have yet for me not a top striker.

Who is Martinez?

Don't forget we still have the Belgian 'fox in the box' on loan at Palace, he could come back and score hat fulls............................................but there again

 
Doesnt matter who we buy for millions of pounds..

For some reason strikers, once joining chelsea, and having been so prolific elsewhere, seem to lose memories of how big the goal is..also forgetting where abouts that same goal is....really pixxes me off....i do like the fact, and its about time too, that thomas doesnt allow any player to be bigger than the club....the team.....on saying this every team has had dodgy results...look at liverpool especially.....football can bring you to highs and lows in a blink of an eye....

Yes there is a long list of failures and a few that have had decent stints before the big money came in there was Speedie, Dixon, Mark Stein,  John Spencer, JFH and then Ba and Drogba after the money arrived.

Mark Hughes, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Gianfranco Zola....

 
If we can't get Haaland, Inter's financial situation might lead us to looking at Lukaku or Lautauro Martinez. Both are very good center forwards and wouldn't be that much of a step down from Haaland.

Beyond that? I'm not sure. Isak is pretty good but he's not a clear upgrade from Abraham. Maybe Icardi? I'm not sure PSG would want to sell him though. I've seen some people mention Belotti, although I'm not very high on him.

Its shame he is in his latter years, and Bayern would never sell, but with out doubt the best striker in the world for the last 36 month is Lewandowski, the guy is phenomenal, and his stats are right there with Leo, and CR7

Personally I would go both, chuck Giroud and Tammy their way with some cash..

He hasn’t been great this season but a bit of a left field shout could be maxi gomez bit of a throwback striker but is physical and would be a cheaper alternative. 

 
Random suggestion but if we can't sign Haaland. I could  see Depay as quite an attractive option as a striker. Similar profile to Werner in the sense that he can play on the wing and through the middle. 

If TT likes what he saw in the french league Depay could be a good shout to replace Giroud if he leaves. Due to his style he brings assists and goals which is something we are lacking at the moment. Add in the fact he would be for free and if it doesn't work out that's at least a £40m sale it could be a win win.

I’m pretty sure Depay’s contract expires this summer, so we could get him for free. Would be excellent business, and I think he would do much better in a second stint in the PL.

We have 8 attackers in the team 

 
We're going to need a striker one way or the other. Especially if Giroud is leaving and with question marks over Tammy. Of those 8 attackers only 2-3 are out and out strikers so one way or the other we will at least target 1 more attacker this summer.

The most underrated striker in Europe.Personally think he'd be a great signing and still only 27 the same age drogba was when he first signed for us.

I consider tammy as good but let say you consider him as backup no problem,and I assume Giroud is gone. We still have 7 attackers. You want another striker no problem that mean you want to play with two st format and probably ziyech and puli need to be moved. 

 
If we're honest, noting that Haaland is a level above us and will be going to a club of that ilk (unless we pull off a miracle and win the Big Ears). There isn't much else that is really an upgrade on what we have. 

For me Giroud is still making a contribution and Tammy is doing all that can be asked of him. 

If we were seeking a replacement for Giroud, then we'd probably be looking at the likes of Daka from Salzburg or (cover your eyes Rangers fans) maybe even Edouard from Celtic, who seems to have a good all round game and is scoring in Europe as well as Scotland.

If by a level above us you mean Real Madrid or Barcelona both of those clubs are on the verge of bankruptcy.Would be very surprised if either could afford to fork out the apparent 150million asking price for haaland.

Other than that it's Man City or Bayern Munich or possibly Man Utd if they actually dicided to spent something.Chelsea are in a very good position financially compared to other clubs that some people seem to think are a level above us.

There's also been a number of players mentioned on this page that are an upgrade on what we already have up front.And just a reminder that the levels of football being played in Scotland are no where near the premier league level so to think a player like edouard could come to England and start banging in goals in the premier league just because he's doing it in Scotland is laughable.

Thing is Lukaku is not the Drogba type. He's a striker that needs to be carried by the team, we on the other hand need a striker that can in moments, singlehandedly win the games for us.
