Alright Bho, I know you know your shite and I've agreed with every argument you've made thus far. But c'mon now.

He was the leading scorer in PL games second behind Super Frank in all competitions.

Is he a selfish prick at times? Absolutely.

Does he shoot too much? No doubt.

But the kid has skillz. Once he begins to flow through the team and play as a unit, he could be a real threat

I have watched more games of his than you have for sure. He isn't good. YET. Oh, he bullied some weak back line for Seattle, now he's a world beater. Guess you didn't see the three times he tried to take on a squared up defender and got the ball taken three times.

Lukaku

Hes 19... He needs to get loaned out for 2 years. Sturridge is a selfish punk who your right, is decent at best. I would h rather buy cavani and set him off of the striker to the right or left. Keep Hazard on the other side of him. Just think, Torres alone with hazard and cavani on the right or left side... Omg

I don't mind Sturridge. He is MUCH more ready than LUKAKU. Lukaku needs loan time.

ETA: My point is we can't play the amount of games scheduled with just Torres and Sturidge. Lukaku is just not a viable option at this time.

I'm on board with this. A season-long loan to a smaller EPL club would be great for him

I agree with both these things, I just personally doubt the cavani deal is much more than a rumor. still, we definitely need someone else for all these matches i just dont know who.

Maybe it is just a rumor and until chelseafc.com has him holding a shirt up, I will treat it as such. As you said we need another option, no matter who it is.

It probably is a rumor. But I'd lie to have him. Even though he looks like a caveman.

FYI: if you google image search "Cavanni" instead of "Cavani" you will get a hot pornstar getting drilled pics. I was glad I wasn't at work or had my wife over my shoulder when I made that simple mistake.

Chelsea have major decisions to make. If they intend on making Torres THE guy then the Cavani purchase just wouldn't make sense. Hulk would be a much better option since he brings goals at a position that doesn't threaten Torres'.

Sturridge is a capable backup, but he obviously wants significant first team minutes. Not to mention Chelsea has shopped him around the past 2 transfer windows. I'm just not sure Roman or RDM rate him highly.

Chelsea need to buy a veteran forward who brings stability to the locker room and goals to the pitch. You don't want a Man CIty situation where you buy every star forward on the market, only for them to want to leave once they realize how much time they have to share.

Guess we aren't getting Cavani. The owner of Napoli valued him at 100 million Euros.
