2. Robert Lewandowski
Now at the top of his meteoric rise to footballing super stardom, Robert Lewandowski has gone from Polish League striker to arguably Europe’s deadliest hitman in just 5 years. The Borussia Dortmund striker can sign a pre-contract agreement in January and leave the club for free this summer, while it is also possible that Die Borussen would accept a cut-price offer for their star man, to avoid letting him leave for free. Though it is widely expected that he will sign for arch rivals Bayern Munich in January and leave for free this summer, which would crush any hopes Chelsea may have had of signing him. WIth the likes of Real Madrid and Juventus also rumoured to be preparing bids for the former Lech Poznan striker in the new year, there is no shortage of top clubs looking at bringing the Poland international in this January.
So who should Jose sign? Lewa or Wazza?
Should Chelsea only move for one striker in January, they should open preliminary talks with Borussia Dortmund over the availability of Lewandowski, as it would only take the most biased of Manchester United fans to deny that the Poland international is by far the superior striker. Although signing Rooney may be settling for second best, his experience in the Premier League makes him a safe option, though we all thought the same when Fernando Torres back in 2011.
