What about this guy for 6mio? Very good prospect, would be sure backup for Hulk, but could offer something we dont have yet, Barca minded attacking player (and they usualy do it well ). His dribblings (when in top play) are fantastic, goals against Brasil or Usa are class too. If we could actualy get him for 6mio I couldnt say no.

I think Gio dos Santos wouldnt be bad for a fair price below 10mio. He is absolutely fantastic in Mexico team, I never know why is he not playing at Spurs... He could be one of those great talents who just need to change club. Sure we would get Hulk too, but having Gio for less than 10mio would be wonderfull. There were some rumours he might return to Barca, he has great ball skills, maybe Mata and Hazard can make him shine at club level too!

WTF man?!?!?! D R O G B A is THE best big striker in the world

We already have enough potential and Lucas is expensive potential. Better to have some experience in attack, since we have striker with dificult mentality, winger who just arrived from France and playmaker who is only 24yrs old and not regular in Spain. To have Hulk would be better because on important games, talent goes off and only inteligence and experience play role. I dont think havin Lucas and Hazard would be good against the likes of City, United or CL matches, because there talent usualy dont play best, maybe some, but not all.

He didnt shine as much in Brazil squad as he does in Sao Paulo. That is what I dont want him much. He could be best player in the world, but he is just too expensive and when did he turned down Inter? Wasnt Inter his favourite club?

Good player, I guess RM has no intention in selling their spanish players. First they need to get rid of Gago (he is actualy good player, linked with ManCity) Drenthe (terrible player, Im sure he will leave). Also Altintop will give place for new player, rumours about Lass, Carvalho, Sahin (loan), Kaka leaving too. What real would realy need is class RB and maybe alternative to DiMaria on wing. Silva was fantastic wish because he can play on wing or CAM and has better passing and dribbling than DiMaria. I think Modric wouldnt fit as much as Silva because he cant play on wing.

Anyone knows if Navas (lost his homesickness?) or Cazorla are available? In case Hulk deals wont go through, our board might start looking after other wingers soon enough.

He is prospect, not finished product or at least Hazard-type established player. And priced at 30mio plus... I rather go after Gotze instead.

Moses. Would be perfect addition to squad depth. If he proves, he could be starter.

You realise that here we just say our wishes right? If I had power I would sell Meireles, Essien, Malouda, Bosingwa, Kalou and Ferreira and buy Hulk, Moses, Martinez and Azpi. But that will never happen and then comes realistic opinion; No we dont need any more players, but a good right winger. Hulk or Moses. I will be happy with whoever Chelsea buys. No one here cant make difference after all.

Read some of my older posts, I dont want to buy more than we neee. But we cant depend on Meireles, Essien again. Torres will replace Drogba, Hazard Malouda, Hulk Anelka and Moses Kalou. Maybe we dont need CM, but then why everyone wants creative CM? Afterall, Bayern already bought 5 players (Pizzro, Manduzukic, Shaqiri, Dante and Stark, yet they will probably get Martinez type of CM too). I want us to buy enough players who will come cheap and replace Meireles and other deadwood, because I would like us to play more faster and creative. My point was to get rid of Malouda and Meireles and get some cheap proper replacements.

I think we need someone who actualy played in Pl before. Marin, Hulk, Hazard and Kdb all played outside UK.

I meant at CAM. Lets say we rest both Mata and Hazard. Marin natural position is not CAM, while I dont think Kdb is actualy ready to lead our midfield in his first season. None of those two ever played in Premier league and we should get someone like Sigurdsson who is ready to be sub, but has had good season in PL. In best case, we should get rid of Malouda and buy Hulk (for obvious reasons), Moses (to deeper our squad and add someone who actualy played in Premier league before), Dembele (or whoever who would come cheap, and would be used as CAM or CM) and maybe RB (well we need him, but I doubt there will be money for it) Yes that is four players and two have already came, but we also got rid of Drogba, Kalou, bosingwa, anelka, possibly Malouda and in previous seasons Ballack, Joe Cole,...and we still havent got proper replacements for them.

Considering we get Hulk and keep KDB, who will play if our main players will need rest? We have enough CMs, but what about Cam or Wingers? Lamps could play CAM sometimes, but if he will be regular starter as CM, he will need rest too Hazard and Mata will get rest manualy: once one then other, one can always play as CAM Hulk will have replacement in Marin(who can play both wings), Rambo (unless he will be already CM box2box starter) or possibly KDB (but I think he should be used more on Cam or CM than wings) Torres will get replacement in Danny Hazard will rotate with Mata. Rambo, Marin or Kdb can replace him. Our second team would then be: Romeu-Essien/Meireles KDB Rambo-Danny-Marin As I see without Mata, Hazard and older Lamps, we dont have proper starting replacement. Sure KDB could get minor role in CM along experienced Mikel or Lamps ocasionaly, but surely he cant pull strings and plan our attack as Cam in his first season. There will always have to be at least Mata or Hazard along him. His good techmique would be wasted on wing, so I prefer CAM/CM for Kdb. With this team, we would still need at least one winger or midfielder who doesnt need to be super class, but just someone who played in Pl before (like Moses or Sigurdsson)

iIndeed true, dont know where people get we will buy Hulk, rb, moses and another class CM But Sigurdsson was quite cheap, we missed on him.

What I realy wonder is how people got to mind that Mata is best at CAM? He was winger at Valencia, he is winger in Spain and he played fantastic for us when he was on wing. After Robbie moved him to CAM, he was not as important as he was before. It could be our style, no support by other players or he was just tired. But he still played his best football on wing for his whole carrer. Now with Hazard, he will have more space and rotation, his work will be split 50:50, he wont be that tired anymore and also he will play on wing and in centre together with Hazard. My concern is only that we dont have proper replacement for him. Last season, he played so much because without him, we were dreadfull and he was realy tired in the end. This season, we must find someone who will replace him goo when he will need rest. We should buy Hulk or CM plus Moses for rotation. Also RB is almost required. The problem is only that pre-season will be here sooner than you think and we are only being linked with players for all month now. If we plan to buy 3 more players, that wont happen in one month. If we wont get any more players till august, there will max one come in that last month and probably wont be world class. With Moses, Hulk and Sigurdsson we would be covered by now, but Gyilffi left for Spurs. If we will keep loosing on such players, we will end up with Maxi 'fuckin' Rodriguez in the end. And I dont want that shit again.

Avb already brought Sigurdsson, and soon Verthongen. Tries to keep VDW and wants Moutinho there. I dont think bad about AVB, he bought Mata, Romeu, Courtiois and Cahill. Unfortunely he came season too early. His style and our team from last season couldnt work together. BUT he needed more time. Yes, we wouldnt won anything last season, but we would start playing more beautiful football. Replacing older player with younger and Chelsea would be top 3 teams in the world in 2 years. With Robbie we won CL, but I realy hope we never play 6:4:0 again. And we still need to rebuild our team. At Spurs, Andre will have lot of money available and if he keeps all their players and buys few more, they will be dangerous. But overall, he plays too open football and Spurs dont have world class defence, meaning that they will do same like we did for first half of season. Play attacking, but no results realy.

No thanks for Modric...If we get Modric, we will never get top class winger like Hulk. Plus Spurs would still get 40mio for a year older player who had worst year than a season ago...

I guess we will buy one class player and as it seems also Moses. And that class player will be Hulk. But I dont think Moses is that bad to play carling games. He is much better than Lukaku, Piazon, Josh,... What I rate most about him is his experience in Pl and good performances against good teams. After all, Cahill played for low table team and he turned fantastic.

Why are you angry? If we got Modric, we might not won CL, we saved 40mio and Spurs will get half less money for Modric because they are so stupid. I am happy we never got Modric, because other way Meireles wouldnt come and he was important in semi final against Barca. For all thar fucking from Levy with us, we returned them a favour in best way. We won CL and took them 4th place

I dont care if we dont get him, actualy Hulk or Martinez would be better signing for me. But the point is that its not done deal and he is not Madrid player. Yet. Wait for official announcement.

Hulk isnt realy taller than Moses. Yes, he might be more stocky, but in two years, Moses could be that strong too. I just hope that Hulk is kind if player who will fight for every ball, not just try to do fancy stuff. And he will come here for better football, not just to be more famous and have more money. Like that Lavezzi, who has clearly lower standards to winning trophies. So if we get Moses, those 10mio up or down, he is worth of try. We can always sell him for 8mio minimum in next years and we will have more options in attack. I dont see we will get two class players, and whoever comes, Moses signing wouldnt change much... Also,I realy hope that KDB will take CM position eventualy to pair with Romeu. It would be great pair of young players. Kdb realy is versatile player, but if he can replace Lamps on less important matches this season, the. we dont need another CM.

Big part plays how player adopts to the club. Its not just talent, but also attitude to work. Moses is kind of player we need; he can start immediately and still at 21 has plenty years left. Also he had terrific season in Prem. league. I dont see why you see this player only as squad player...He is as big talent as Gotze (i know, harsh comparrison), but the point is that Gotze has more media fame. If Moses would be english, playing for Arsenal or whoever, he would be one of top 5 prospects in world. Not everyone can rip Sagna like Moses did.

Kalou in Lille - official

I am only wondering that he wasnt even the first choice at u21 tournament last summer. Montoya played all games, how is that possible? In recent season, Azpi become much better, but I think he will end up in Real, we will get Maicon.
