There are rumours flying around if AVB moves to Spurs they'll push to get Hulk...unless they sell Modric and Bale, where are they going to get the money for that from! What a stupid rumour! This has died down a bit recently, hope it will still happen. I still haven't changed my opinion that he is the best RW available on the market this summer. I don't want to settle for half the player because he's half the price.

It's only a bit of banter. I actually quite like Real Madrid, although more so in recent years due to my profound hatred of Barcelona. I do agree, any players in their mid/late 20's and in their prime will generally favour Madrid due to the prestige, etc. However I do think for a lot of young players it is seen as an even bigger graveyard than Chelsea! And Mourinho definately wanted Lukaku as he saw some of Drogba in him, and Zidane tried to persuade Hazard to move to Madrid. (Just had to get that in! ) I actually think Madrid will buy Piszczek or van der Wiel. Debuchy is too 'solid' a full back for your lot, who prefer a much more attack minded swashbuckling style.

I have searched for a transfer thread for Victor Moses but couldn't locate one. If there is one already created please add this to it. http://www.mirror.co...of-wigan-901170 Wouldn't be a bad buy at all. He's certainly not the finished article, but he has massive potential. I just feel he would be better served playing for Wigan at least another season before moving on. Last season was his breakout season and it's important to build on that and continue improving. It would possibly stagnate his development if he came here and didn't play often. I also don't see how a move for Moses would be the end for Sturridge unless, as expected, the Mirror is putting two and two together that Sturridge played RW last season...unaware that he is actually a striker naturally.

Before you get too cocky that any player would go to you over anyone else if you show an interest, this is just a reminder that CHELSEA ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!!! :blue scalf: And you wanted both Hazard and Lukaku and I don't see either of them pitched up in Madrid

Lots of reports his release clause is only £8m, but Lille likely to accept between £6-7m. I agree, we have to move for him for that sort of money. Given our recent negotiations with Lille for Hazard which I assume went smoothly, surely it would put us in a strong position to negotiate with them again for Debuchy.

Sorry that wasn't worded well. I mite have considered piszczek if he was younger but as he's a similar age to debuchy i would prefer the frenchman because i've been more impressed with him when watching.

Didn't realise he was 27. I would prefer debuchy.

I've lost count how many times this is said but brana won't play 60 games a season! Bosingwa managed i think about 35-40 appearances last season - do you honestly expect an 18 year old to play that amount of games?!

Similar to Zola Would he play RW in a 4-2-3-1 alongside mata and hazard?

Haven't really seen him mate but i know zola rates him VERY highly. Dunno about his worth - how much are juventus paying for parma's 50%? If he's worth £15-20m on top of £24m cash then i'd be inclined to sell torres (reluctantly)

I heard it was £24m + Giovinco. However parma own 50% of his rights so not sure how that would work.

Agreed. For every bad reference you can find a good one and vice versa. Just ask john terry what he thinks of marcel and you'll find a depiction of a near perfect captain and role model.

People have to appreciate that the foreign lads will have grown up following other clubs in other leagues, etc. Look at Zola - when chelsea played napoli he didn't want to lean to prefer either, he loves both clubs. But when it comes to the prem he'll always support us. And Desailly was interviewed before the champions league final saying how desperate he was for chelsea to win it. In fact given we were not a european powerhouse 15 years ago, to have players like gullit, desailly and vialli who had enjoyed stellar careers and were in their twilight years, talk fondly of their time at the club still now and continue to follow us is something special!

Yeah i don't want him now for the prices quoted but we have actually been linked with him going back to the days of scolari and since then porto snapped him up for about £10m. Thats what leaves the bitter taste is what we could have brought him for a couple of years ago, its hardly like he was an unknown back then.

Sounds like a decent deal for Valencia

He's been poor in this Euros but then the whole Holland squad have. However I would prefer Debuchy. I haven't really watched any of him at Lille but apparently he's been very consistent there. I've seen the last half a dozen France games and he looks good.

That's a lovely part of the country for the two weeks every year of 'hot weather' england gets!

Apparently noone, in my high level of wisdom i made the language up!

Yeah guess everywhere's got problems and issues. Could be worse though cap...you could live in liverpool, england!!! And i'm sure we could bring dennis wise back for a month to give him a crash course of swear words and cockney rhyming slang!

Nah england isn't all bad and it's so small you wouldn't have problems living in the middle of nowhere. True i never knew that about belgium - fucks up my assumption then! Would lukaku speak french?

I live in a ghetto (or at least what half the little teenage shits round here think it is) most famous for where Fred and Rose West lived and mass murdered!

Well surely he speaks Belgian?! Seeing as we're buying half the country's players I'm sure he'll be ok. Lukaku obviously speaks fluent English and pretty sure De Bruyne and Courtois do too so should be no problems there! Don't provide needless excuses to keep hold of Malouda!

I wouldn't bother, it's overrated!

I agree with you spike, but unfortunately this comment could easily be copied and slightly amended to be used for John Terry. If Chelsea didn't pay him the earth, he would have gone to Man City. Yes I know he loves the club, but IMO the money Man City were waving in his face outweighed the loyalty. What irked me about that whole situation was that he kept quiet and wouldn't comment, and then when the contract was signed he said it was never in doubt he wouldn't leave Chelsea. If that was the case why didn't he come out in public and say he didn't want to leave Chelsea and was currently in contract discussions to extend. I love John but that situation did leave a bitter taste for me.

Ha ha thats why they say listen to your elders! And that bleacher report article is utter wank! Hazard may take time to adjust but ultimately he has the tools to become one of the greatest ever at this football club.
