Should Chelsea buy a new Striker?

Why not.\n\nThey have the money.\nThey can keep him on the bench that way no one else can have him.\n\nChelsea is cancer.\nWhy Ballack or anyone else would want to play for Chelsea (sit on the bench) is beyond me. I'd rather start first team football with Aston Villa.

No. Too big a club for that to happen. They will buy players in the January window that ensures survival./

I think they will need a couple of years to be back on top again, they might become better and better in the next few years, but Chelsea are looking very good right now and i think their form will continue like this for a few years.\nManchester United have to get some experienced players in midfield that have a very good playmaking ability, someone like Gerrard, Lampard, Totti, and Ronaldinho. They should also find a solid defensive midfielder with a leader's character to replace Roy Keane, it seems that the main problem for Man Utd after Roy Keane's departure is their lack of confidence, their defense isn't looking confident anymore even though they are all world class, the young midfielders like Christiano Ronaldo have lost their confidence, even Rudd Van. N  have lost some of his touch. Sir Alex Ferguson should be stricter with his players like he was before and give them the motivation he used to give to his players back in the old days, he must keep the media away from his players. They should do some successful transfers this summer in order to reinforce their team next year so they would compete with Chelsea’s consistency and in the Champions league

He is a very good player and must be close to being chosen. However I think Gareth Barry of Aston Villa deserves to be recalled above Nolan. His form for the last two seasons has been outstanding especially last year when the Villa were struggling so badly. Barry could easily fit in to Downing's place but I do not know where you would play Nolan. A possibility is to drop Lampard but he is now showing some form for Chelsea and he has started scoring goals again.

True. As you they could not land all the good players at stamford bridge without his money, or Jose Mourihno. His money is everything for Chelsea.

Looking forward to see Michael Owen in the next season.\n\nHe's irreplaceable as a poaching striker but this could mean Stevie G starting as 2nd striker - may very well turn out to be the winning situation for the next game. Good thing is England do have the players to up the level of play when it matters for each game as they progress.

They need a real biting central defender.\n\nSol Campbell, Christian Chivu, or Gabriel Milito are amoung players they could target.\n\nThe main reason these are put forward is that they have name recognition, they have skill, they are solid defenders, and are not astronomically pricey.  Real has bought defenders before, paid too much, got too little (Woodgate?).  \n\nThey've got forwards (Robinho, Baptista), and they have midfielders (old, but should be able to see through another year).  Really, they need to look at the back line.  Roberto Carlos is getting old, and I don't recall if its them, but if they have Junior in their back line or roster, well, thats trouble.\n\nEver since they let Hierro(sp) go, they haven't had the steel in the center of the back.  This is what they need to move back up.  They can score goals - can they prevent them?

I think Liverpool and Man Utd would be battling it out for the title if it wasn't for Abrahmovich and his billions. Maybe a few good purchases by Rafa and we can come close but Chelsea just have too much money and can buy pretty much anybody they want....apart from Steven Gerrard of course!!!!!

Look for AC Milan to trade Chelsea Andrey Shevchenko for Hernan Crespo and if that does'nt go they will buy Ruud Van Nistlerooy from Man Utd.Of course every one knows Bayern Munich's Michael Ballack is arriving in London after the World Cup.

He should stay. Look how far the team made it with a very young team. Arsenal could be challenging Chelsea and ManU next season.

If you could elaborate, is that four strict strikers across the top? What do you see as the right combination of players using anyone in today's game? It seems your 2 in the middle would have to be tireless jackrabbit types.\n\nI get it, sort of like a forward diamond instead of Sven's midfield diamond. I could see Chelsea doing this. I hate them, but they have the best players.\nAnd they did sort of do this last year with Drogba forward, Robben and Duff on each side, but Gudjonsen didn't really play like a defensive forward I think how you envision, but he could, with Lampard attacking and Makalele holding.\n Maybe next year they could look like this...\n\n\n                     Drogba\n\n\nShevchenko              Ballack        Lampard    Essien                             back four\n\n\n                    Robben

Tassotti could be given a chance.\nThere's no one else palatable except Rijkaard, but he won't leave Barcelona.

Definitely Not!\n\nChelsea already has enough players sitting on the bench wasting their talent. Shevchenko's move to Chelsea will be just another @$$ on the Chelsea bench! He should stick with Milan! They're a much better team anyway!

Rubbish, I will be dissapointed in Shevchenko and A.C. Milan for letting one of the best players go. Also Chelsea will turn corupt, and they still are not going to win the Champions league. They might have the money but the don't have heart. And that's one thing you can't buy.

A good thing, let Chelsea buy all the top players then everyone can sit back and watch them fall flat on their faces and wont that be enjoyed by all the non loving Chelsea and Man U fans

im very glad he decided to buy chelsea as a yid i think we have a great crop of english youth running through the spine of the side and with a couple of imports in davids and berbatov should us at least bring in 1 cup if not a couple, exciting times ahead down the lane and big marty has done fantastic, when roman gets bored he could leave chelsea right innit and i will laugh hard at arnesson and kenyon who jumped on board of the money train.\nbest thing swp could do is move, a great waste of talent and only plays 15min every week!! jammin should stay at the lane, good back up player.roll on saturday.

I think he would like to stay at AC Milan, but he has some issues with Carlo Anceloti.  He has a great relationship with the club owner and that is what is making his decision to leave hard.  He does want to experience another league, but only if everything is perfect.  If Chelsea are going to buy him then they are going to have to pay atleast $40 million for him and throw in Crespo in the deal.
