In For Baby Drogba?

if Gomis is called Baby Drogba....that what should we call Lukaku...

The club was wrong to let daddy Drogba go.

I dont want Gomis...he is average at best...plus he is not exactly young...why call him baby anything??..hilarious - i guess its a joke.

We cant get Gomis when we already have Lukaku who could yet come back next season....Why cant they just find a loan deal?

Hahaha everyday we are bein linked to a new player(s),yesterday was david villa,today its bafetimbi gomis, tomorrow it would be gary hooper and so on..thanks to the board for keepin the press guessin

You can call him baby Messi for all I care.. However after I think about that that'd be a really really small player. Anyways, point I want to make is that we have Piazon and Lukaku already with Feruz looking to make an impact here soon. If the club signs this kid up then sends him off on loan I will have well and truly lost it with our board. Good thing it's just gutter shet, as usual.

@lay HAHAHAHA wtf I thought by never hearing of him I assumed he was young. 27 yrs old, yea um pass.

noooooooooooooo.........

alvaro negredo...! or Ba... Jovetic is up there on my list too.... CM is where we will really feel thee pain....

Some may find this funny but i dont. I hope i am wrong but the impression i am getting is that our board is out there fishing blindly in deep waters and just trying to see what comes up the fishing hook. We have sold the only other striker we have to a fellow competitor thereby enriching them at a discount price (Danny to Liverpool is done and dusted already) and we clearly dont have any target/replacement sealed or the media would have got some wind of it..we are and were linked with every striker imagineable from Remy through Bony, Jovetic, Ba, Lewandowski, Schurrle etc and now we are dredging the very bottom of the well with players like Villa and Gomis. The lack of anything concrete tells me just that..we have no concrete target and this is very worrisome. Remember come Jan2 we as a club will have only one recognized striker in our main 25 man squad and he is El Nino. Beyond his spotty form and penchant for disappearing in big games the guy is human..is he expected to seriously lead the line in all our games ahead..what happens when he gets injured, is suspended or his dreaded goal drought returns? This is what happens when no rational planning goes into team building..it is one of the side effects of operating a continuously revolving carousel of firing and hiring managers. It is now an open secret we need a striker (or two if we are wise)..every team out there with any half decent striker will now add on an extra bonus fee to their usual Chelsea bonanza fee since they know we are desperate. We are likely going to get abused financially again for subpar talent. Left to me now that it is fairly clear we are not getting Falcao we better move for players that have some resale value and whose price is reasonable while potential for return on the field is half decent..my votes Ba (who has clear buy out clause amount so we cannot be financially brutalized), Walcott and maybe Wifred Bony (9-12mill max). Gomis will be a total waste..i have seen this guy play quite a bit..he wont cut it in the BPL and Villa is a very dangerous gamble..he is clearly in decline..he is one more significant injury away from retirement and it could easily happen in the rough and tumble BPL..i think Rafa is warming up to him for the singular reason of beefing up the spanish contingent in the side which he feels will increase his chances of staying at Cobham for some time...besides that i am not fond of getting any players from Barca.

B2K420, you are talking about another player because that is not Lukaku.

@foreign_viewer: I watch most of West Brom games, I am afraid it is Lukaku I am talking about. @TheIncrediblue: I hope he improves in the next 2 seasons, I just wish if he can become half as good as Drogba then we will be alright.

@layorh12: IMO these days agents make sure all clubs (who have asked the agents to be kept updated for any potential bid/s) are aware of the price they are selling their star for incase some other club bids higher so that the agent might get a bigger cut (Hazard Deal is the best example). Chelsea wanted to keep it under the covers but the GREEDY AGENT made sure ManU and ManCity are aware of OUR OFFER. The only thing Chelsea are doing now is that they are doing ground work (getting all the documents ready/offer details/future options/bonuses) so that when they make a bid other clubs MIGHT have less time to put a better offer on the table. REST ASSURED the players we are going to sign will join us for these reasons 1) Better salary 2) Recent CL winner 3) No other club can match their demands (Hazard deal)

It's funny that many of the guys in here still call the board clueless and has no foreplan. You lot are just rubbish. The board and its members would be 10 times better than you. Just shut the F up. When Rafa came I was so happy that we got a quality tactician and unsurprisingly he has done a good job so far. And you lot called him an idiot and that he destroyed pool and crap. Just STFU and send resumes to CFC if you think you are that good. Morons.

Maybe a temporary fix can do the trick at the moment.
