Do Chelsea need another striker?

After watching Chelsea start the season so well, winning their first 3 games well and seeing Torres start to find the back of the net and look like his old self, I've been thinking do Chelsea really need to but another striker as all football pundits seem to be saying.



Throughout the whole summer transfer window Chelsea has been constantly linked with forwards, most notably Cavani and Hulk who are both respectively great strikers however would they be causing more problems then solving if either arrived. If either was to sign they would come with a hefty price tag so would most probably have to play for that very fact and as we only play one upfront with Di Matteo's 4-2-3-1 formation Torres would find himself on the bench which to me just doesn't make any sense.

 Another problem that I see in signing another striker would be it getting in the way of Daniel Sturridge's development as well as Romelu Lukaku's when he comes back next season who was also signed for a sizeable fee. I personally think that Sturridge is good enough to play upfront for Chelsea this season whether its due to Torres being absent through injury or poor form. He has proved already in his short career he can score goals, doing so for Bolton on loan as well as for Chelsea last season reaching double figures from the right wing. I know there is the argument that he is to selfish on the ball and not a good enough team player, which I can definitely admit to it annoying me sometimes however he is a striker and if  he was to get the chance to play in that position I can only see that being an advantageous attribute, I just hope he is given a real chance there this season. Also the recent acquisition of Victor Moses could be a possible option to play upfront for us if we really needed to so I really don't think another striker is needed for Chelsea this season.

  1. i dont think Chelsea need another striker.
    Like you said, with recent formation Chelsea only need one striker per game, with Torres on fire and Sturridge as super-sub, i believe this season Chelsea have bigger oppotunity to win BPL.
