Chelsea set to accelerate their pursuit of more firepower

Chelsea’s pre-season form has been so awful that one can’t help but wonder when Roman Abramovich is going to make one of his patented trips down to Stamford Bridge and whether Roberto di Matteo’s luck is on the verge of running out.

The reigning European Champions were handed a humbling 3-1 defeat by Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday evening, and with Fernando Torres showing no signs of returning to form, the Blues’ search for striking reinforcements is getting a tad desperate.

In fact the level of desperation has been heightened to such an extent that Chelsea are actually looking at accelerating their pursuit of Wigan forward Victor Moses in an effort to lift spirits around Stamford Bridge ahead of the new season’s opener Community Shield match next weekend.

Chelsea will take on a very much in-form Manchester City side who humbled Arsenal in pre-season and have a lot more firepower upfront to boast of, and it is perhaps more than a tad shocking that a 21-year old Nigerian from Wigan Athletic could be the spark that would ignite the Blues at the start of the upcoming season.

  • Di matteo should know that, time is running and b/c of that, he should more, one more time, by adding more money for hulk or lewandoski to get them, b/c they are the only one, that can be able to replace drogba and sharping the attack more (matteo should try and buy either hulk or lewandoski this week, so that they can play in the community shield against man city inorder for chelsea to win not loose again)
    di mateo be warned!!!

    Yup Chelsea need serious firepower. No use having a strong midfield if you can’t finish. And its going to take a lot more than Torres and Moses to do it.

  • Abayomi

    securing Hazard, Marin,Oscar etc with huge amount of money without a fireforce upfront dat can convert d available chances will proof abortive eventually.

  • Lawan Bukar

    4 players needed

  • Franc

    Relax- Barcelona destroy teams with mid fielders not strikers. It is only preseason and our players have not trained as a team yet – with many new players.

    chelsea need 1 right back and 1 poucher striker.

  • Chelsea need a real goal scorer.. Someone like facao,cavani or hulk but in all I will prefer facao by far cos he is a natural goalscorer..
