What gaps have we still to plug?

Yup Oscar just isn't suited to the PL for me and that's the main problem because he is a decent player on his day. He's just too lightweight though and would probably flourish in Serie A.

I would be gutted to see Costa leave. We haven't had much luck with strikers

----------------------------------------------------------

I've seen lots of good strikers at Chelsea in my time - Drogba, Anelka, Crespo, Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen, Zola, Vialli to name a few.

We had a bad experience with Torres and the club were at fault for persisting with him for as long as they did when he clearly wasn't working but we shouldn't let that scar us.

Costa is replaceable. We can do just as good if not better if we buy well. Personally I've grown tired of Costa's repetitive antics and his recurring injuries aren't going to get any better in this physical league.

Costa is a must stay, What better strikers are available? Please nobody suggest Lukaku, The guy is garbage. Costa is clinical and I'd love to see him work under the passion of conte, they seem like they'd work well together, Like Costa under Simeone.

Can't believe how many of you would be willing to see Costa leave. So short minded. In the 13 years Abramovic has been at the club. Drogba and Anelka are the only two other consistently top strikers we've had. Two! I rated Crespo. And on paper he scored one in every 2 and half games for us. But he was nowhere near as imposing as Costa or Drogba.

Top Strikers are so hard to replace. I would have thought our fans would have learned that over our recent history.

In my view Vialli is the only one that Costa betters......I think we have let our standards slip with him as a CF. was better

I don't know of any, so i tend to agree with you, but just because we don't know any should not mean the player is not out there..................we need to find the next unknown top striker, other clubs do it so why can't we?.
