CHELSEA FC: Blues plan future bid for Mario Gomez

Chelsea considers a summer bid for Bayern Munchen striker Mario Gomez as a backup plan if the Blues fail to land Radamel Falcao or Cavani. The German International hasn’t enjoyed much of a success since returning from knee injury in November and Blues are in big need for a new striker after their misery continues on Fernando Torres, who is very inconsistent at the moment.

Mario Gomez is one of the finest strikers in Bundesliga and he was also the top scorer for the last two seasons. However, new signing Mario Mandzukic is considered ahead of the German International for as a first team regular. Mario Gomez made 8 appearances this season and five of them as substitute which is highly disappointing for a goal poacher of his quality. However, he managed to score four goals for the German giants. Blues are planning to make us of this situation if they happened to fail to land Atletico Madrid’s Radamel Falcao or Napoli striker Edinson Cavani.

Mario Gomez has a very good goal scoring record in the German league and for his country. He has scored 98 goals for Bayern from 150 games and also registered 24 assists in his tally. His record at VfB Stuttgart was also very impressive scoring 87 goals from 158 games. There is no doubt over his talent and ability to score goals, but is he a good target for Chelsea?

He will soon turn 28 and undoubtedly at his peak of form. Bayern signed him back in 2009 for £ 26 million and now he is rated at £ 37 million. Although, he is cheaper than Falcao or Cavani, it will be a wise move, if Chelsea sign a much younger player for a much lesser amount, who can serve the club for a long time.

What do you think about Mario Gomez? Should Chelsea approach Bayern for this deal?
