He doesn��t get the space away from home as he does at Stamford Bridge. This precludes him from a first-choice role next year,Women's Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Teal Blue Green, but most fans would be more than happy to see him kept in the supporting cast. Poacher: Former Barcelona man Eto'o completes his hat-trick against Manchester United in January It��s clear, though, that Diego Costa should be Mourinho��s No 1 target. The Atletico Madrid hitman has torn La Liga apart this season, and tops his rivals for a starting place on most counts.His aggressive, physical style coupled with immense precision and selfless teamwork make him the perfect leading light for this Chelsea side �C a Mourinho player if ever there was one. His heatmap as he inspired his Atletico side to a comeback at Athletic Bilbao last weekend shows just how comprehensive his displays can be in the opposition half. This all-action style is completely in tune with Chelsea��s attack. The one: Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa, pictured in against against Athletic Bilbao, would fit Chelsea with his all-action style However, signing just one striker may well not cut it, depending on departures. And as plan Bs go, they don��t get any better than Bayern Munich forward Mandzukic. He��s used to feeding off and working with an even better attacking midfield supply than on offer at Chelsea,Nike Free Powerlines 2 UK, while he��s also not top dog at Bayern �C often eschewed in favour of a ��false nine�� like Thomas Muller.The arrival of Robert Lewandowski in Munich,Nike Free Run 2 Black Red Womens, however, will be a step too far. If he can play second fiddle to Costa, the Blues will be on to something really special. Indeed, if a change of formation was needed, the two playing together is enough to give any defender nightmares. Enlarge Wanted man: Chelsea are interested in a ��20million summer deal for Bayern Munich striker Mario Mandzukic Man in form: Mandzukic has scored 17 goals in 26 Bundesliga games for Pep Guardiola's side this season BEST STRIKE ACCURACY - EUROPE Mandzukic 72.41Kadlec 70Messi 66.28Ljajic 65.71Lewandowski 65.33 Mandzukic is the most accurate striker of a ball in Europe��s top leagues, while he is also in the top 10 for minutes per goal.At times �C notably in points dropped against West Ham, West Brom and Aston Villa �C it seems Chelsea just can��t cure their wayward shooting. A capture of Mandzukic would cure that problem.It is his recruitment that may be the difference, to nick a goal when teams ��park the bus��, which has frustrated the Blues on their travels this season.An ideal world for Mourinho would see him snap up both, sell Torres and Demba Ba, and decide on either Lukaku or Eto��o to be an option from the bench. With the Belgian possibly not seeing this as his role, it could be left to the Cameroonian. Whatever happens in the summer, though, don't expect to read about Chelsea's striker problems this time next year. More...
