Can't really blame them for asking so much for Hulk.We bought Torres for a staggering 50m and so in all fairness,Porto have the right to demand a high amount,although 80m is too much.

I'll really be disappointed if Chelsea pay more than 40m for him and if we do get him,I hope he is deployed to the left winger role and not the center forward position.Torres and Danny are the only people I want to see playing as our strikers.

Hutchinson can gradually come up better than this guy.Until then,we have Iva and Paulo as decent options.

RDM the perfect man for managerial longevity.Regardless of how well Pep does here,he will leave us in maybe 3 years time for a new 'adventure'. Then the cycle of sacking managers will resume and we'll back to square one. Roman,PLEASE STICK WITH Roberto Di Matteo!!

If its a bar fight then Gerrard would win possibly because of his experience in that area.

I really hope RVP leaves Arsenal for Juventus so that Cavani may still be available in the winter transfer window.

so this guy wants regular playing time and to be played in his preferred position eh,well then go to Arsenal but ahh then there is the wage problem.

perhaps is sick of the Russian talent and wants variety

I find him a young ambitious player who takes his chances whenever he can.A kind of attitude which is really need for a center forward at Chelsea.He's provided some great assists this season,not many but some few good ones.The one I clearly remember was his pass to Torres for his goal against Villa.So,I really don't understand why people describe him to be so selfish,makes me think that all his critics relate to him as the Kobe Bryant of football.

rules out the premier league title then:p.

Only advice I'd give Pep would be to communicate with all his players effectively.It cost AVB his job and so I hope he doesn't make the same mistake.From what I have read,Pep doesn't like players who have a wild lifestyle,so players like Cole and till an extent Terry need to be cautioned.

Yeah sorry,both have the same avatar so got confused.

:doh: :doh: :doh: Sorry guys,my bad.

Good thing we didn't win a 3rd trophy.

Appointing Pep will ease the transfer activities.Players like Hulk,Cavani,Lucas,Hazard etc won't even think twice of coming here.

\Your own words- Well boys, strap yourself in. It begins. Guardiola will now be chased to the ends of the earth by Roman. I for one would love him here. The only managers that would get the nod ahead of RDM is Mourinho and Guardiola.

yeah and when the results don't go our way under Pep,Roman will sack him and the whole football world will hate us even more.Pep coming here only for the severance package,he knows his Chelsea adventure won't last more than 7 months and so I guess he'll ultimately have the 5months off he intended to have as planned. All this being the worst case scenario. The best case would be he leads us to win all the major trophies.

Chelsea have showed some real lack of respect to RDM.If they really want him to continue then they would have handed him the 1 year contract extension immediately instead of trying to evaluate what's best for the club.Its clear that the club wants Pep and are waiting for his final decision.He did first say that he wanted to 'rest' for 1 year but rumors say that he is reconsidering. Like I have said many times on this forum,the appointment of Pep is inevitable and because of this RDM won't have a long deserved managerial career at Chelsea.RDM being a Chelsea legend will know what's best for him and the club and therefore will reject the contract extension,just so that Chelsea won't take the heat of parting ways with him.This move shows his love for the club and fans. As a fan,I thank him for all the success he has brought to us in such a short term spell.He's a fantastic coach and wish him a successful future.

And in other odds and sods, Hulk is preparing to hand in a transfer request at Porto to force through a £35m move to Chelsea, where he will bully Fernando Torres back on to the bench. Just gotta love The Guardian.

Don't be surprised if he leaves us for another club and starts scoring 20+goals a season.The guy is a center forward for god's sake and he must play his own position.Scoring close to 20 goals season from a winger role only indicates the true potential he has for goal scoring.Chelsea will make a massive mistake if they choose to sell him or continue to play him as a winger.

The language barrier makes it more funnier.

I'll be gutted if he doesn't retire here.

lol,EPIC fail for me then.Fucking twins!

Guys chill he is going to Benfica on loan.

ahh but now there is Drogba.
