recent pattern of strikers failing at Chelsea


Torres = a pattern?

I guess you'll probably bring up Sturridge but there are a number of reasons he didn't produce at Chelsea that both he and the club have to take responsibility for.

quote:

Plus he is probably friends with Lukaku, and everyone is aware how disappointed he was during his first spell at Chelsea.


Lukaku was like 17-18 when he came to Chelsea. He was never going to come in and play right away. Benteke is like 23 and reasonably proven on a big stage. Two situations are not really compatible imo.

The optimist in me likes to think he knows Lukaku is a badass and is the future of Chelsea Football Club. Drogba 2.0

It isn't a secret that strikers have struggled at Chelsea recently.

Torres comes in; has atrocious form.

After Torres' arrival, Drogba's form goes to complete shite.

Lukaku is brought in, doesn't play for a season, goes on loan and expresses his frustration at the club.

Sturridge scores more Premier League goals from a wide position than Drogba and Torres combined. Leaves the next season because he can't get a shot at the starting role even when healthy.

Demba Ba is brought in during the January window after scoring 13 league goals for Newcastle in the first half of the season. Proceeds to score a grand total of 2 goals the second half of the season for the Blues.

That pattern.
