It was either 13 million for Lukaku this summer or loose out.... orwait a few years until hes like what 30 + million at least.

Yes but he is close to being ready to play regular CL football so we should get him just before his price rockets up.

Na we need more creative players in so getting him in while hes relatively cheap would be good business.

Doesn't a company/person not have third party ownership in Hulk? Or is that just a rumor..... maybe that is what Carlos Leite's is involved with.

Get Jovetic in this summer and sign that Lazar Markovic kid from Partizan too but loan him back for 2 years. Then 2 years time them two, hopefully have a great partnership, destroying Arsenal's defense... ah.

So maybe he was in Paris for PSG... bastards!!

Haha yeah... hopefully someone on this forum works in the shop behind him

Oh, anyway apparently this is a photo of Hulk (which it clearly is) in London a few days ago (unsure)

Hulk's agent Carlos Leite : "Hulk is but one foot in Chelsea. Agreement shall be final only when the player back from vacation." Seen that on Facebook, so I'm unsure whether that was actually said but I'll try check.

David Moyes has tried it and Wenger suggested it too. Its the right way to go !

I have to admit, I would criticize the FA but they basically gave Scotland half their national team... Commons, Mackie, Morrison etc. Fucking pathetic shows how bad Scotland is at bringing their own youngsters through as well, but that is mostly because English clubs buy them all like Feruz! Despite him being at Chelsea, since I support Celtic as well as Chelsea, I was disappointed after all Celtic had done for him and his family when he left. He wouldn't be in this country if Celtic hadn't seen him playing football.

There should be a separate league for PL B teams imo, playing roughly the same amount of games as the PL. Pity the FA know fuck all about trying to help develop talent.

We should get another feeder club but an English one!

I don't see him playing here at all next season, as he is nowhere near ready hence why he warms the bench at Swansea. Its not that their midfield is amazing either its just the fact he gets 10-15 minutes every 2 or 3 weeks if hes lucky and this was meant to speed up his development? Don't get me wrong I'm sure hes learned from their training but there is no point in him sitting warming the bench for them when he could of been at another club on loan actually playing.

Hes going to Inter Milan... Andrea Stramaccioni has admitted that Lucas is their top target, well one of them. His style suits Italy better anyway as you get more time on the ball like in Brazil.

Mata Torres Muniain, imagine.

I hope the away kit is all black with white trim on it, like this one from 2009.

Heard positive news about Cahill and Luiz, apparently Cahill is more than likely to feature while Luiz could possibly. Only heard it on twitter though so who knows.

Still doesn't convince me as a team orientated player, as in the fact hes extremely selfish.

True but if Rami plays deeper it restricts his runs as the shield in front of the defense isn't there and nobody will cover for him. Plus Marin and Hulk probably aren't as great going back and helping the full back like Rami is! In fact when I've seen Hulk, when Porto are without the ball, he doesn't seem to do a lot of defending just pressing the ball in the opposition's half.

More than likely that whoever is our manager will probably use Hulk as a left winger and Rami as a right winger, just for the fact Rami has too much pace to be used as a more defensive player.

Totally agree, he is clearly ready to be the second striker and Sturridge should remain as a winger as he isn't exactly the physical beast we need up front. If we get another striker in though he needs to go on loan, that is a must.....

Exactly. Just because they aren't at a big club or aren't a major name you can't say they aren't going to be good players. I mean honestly when Wigan first signed McCarthy I bet half their fans sat scoffing at him, wondering who the fuck he was despite major European clubs being linked with him...

Sidwell was actually awful though, McCarthy is good.

Fuller is leaving them and rumors say that Jerome is going to Bolton... plus Jones has barely played this year so he could be on his way out too?
