Dean refused to be drawn on names today when asked about Sturridge, of course, but he did say "look, ideally you want players who have played at the top level, which is the premier league".

Right. So Sturridge - or Benteke - then.

Glenn Murray, come on down.

Brighton would be mad to sell to us when we may be in a head to head relegation battle with them.

If we don't get another forward in before the deadline it's very poor. After watching Samatta a target man type to complement him would be decent.

Bowen would have been a cherry on top. Would have added so much but I reckon Smith wants Benrahma and is waiting till the summer.

Right now, my preference would be Giroud or Benteke.

We are not going to be spending twenty million on a striker after buying Samatta.

Giroud still makes most sense factoring in style, quality, motivation etc

If he really wants to continue to live in London, its hardly a problem.

Catch a lift with Terry.

BBC Sport reported earlier that Giroud will only consider leaving Chelsea for a London club or a club in Europe.

Now we have Samatta, Benteke could have a real boosting effect and feel good factor
