Wise

Should use Torres in the deal, Torres plus 10 million. No point having Cavani and Torres. Torres should be our main man or he leaves.

He hasn't got too much muscle or fat, He's just naturally stocky. Hence why he is such a powerful player.

Not keen on 10 million for sub right back - I don't think he's better than Ivanovic. Hutch, Kane and Ferreira are adequate cover.

He excelled in midfield for Genk, not AM.

Romeu is not better than Mikel. Laughable.

He was subbed for good reason, he was out of his depth and chasing shadows. Movement is his weak link, he is slower than Mikel. Mikel was brilliant under Di Matteo, easily our best DM. But, you are Spanish...

Romeu instead of Mikel? HUH?

40 mill Euros is 31.5 million pounds. I think that's an acceptable price. He will be good for marketing, especially in Japan where he is still popular. He will definitely make us a more dangerous team.

Hulk can go either side but he is a big goal threat cutting in. Where else will our goals come from? We need a goal threat from the right. I don't think we can rely on Torres to score loads of goals...

According to the CM moves, Hulk can leave FC Porto for 40 million euros. The guarantee was given by Pinto da Costa the Brazilian entrepreneur, Gus Fonseca, a time when the player is pointed to England's Tottenham and Chelsea and the French Paris Saint-Germain. When they found the paper from a source of blue-and-white, the chairman of FC Porto and Hulk wants to sell this summer and Rolando admits only the output of Joao Moutinho is not able to transfer the Brazilian international. The leader FC Porto expects a minimum of fitting 40 million with the transfer of Hulk, a value substantially lower than the termination clause (100 million), but enough to solve the problems of the club treasury.

I'm not a big fan of Hulk but I think we should sign him (I know that's contradictory) because he has a powerful shot and I think he would be very dangerous cutting inside in the Premier league. He has the power and pace suited to England. We would have more firepower if we signed Hulk, I don't think anyone can deny that.

Why do we sign so many young center backs? We have too many as it is.

And you laughed at me for saying our strikers are weak. Lukaku is nowhere near good enough, terrible footballer and no physical presence in spite of his size. His jumping for headers is pathetic, has he ever won a header from a goal kick?

No, Torres has been rubbish since before he signed for Chelsea, in case you didn't notice. There are no real signs of that changing. Compare Sturridge to Rooney, Aguero and Van Persie. We are lacking a direct threat.

Badly need a striker. Torres looked bad in the friendly, completely different player to the one at Liverpool. We will be lacking firepower if we don't sign Hulk or a world class striker. Torres is a big gamble and Sturridge can't even get into team GB.

Lukaku is a huge disappointment, never knew he was this bad.

Main difference is that he doesn't want to join Chelsea.

Played out of position. He is a right forward, lethal when cutting inside with his powerful shot. I don't know why they don't just play Hulk on the right, Oscar middle and Neymar left.

Marin and Oscar are good but I think we would be lacking a goal threat. Hazard is not a significant goalscorer, yet, last season was his first significant contribution and I think most of those goals were penalties. Mata and Marin do not score many either. Hulk's power and goal threat would compliment the guile of our smaller players.

Typical plastic fan.

CAM Mata > Hazard LF Hazard > Mata Obvious where they should play. I'm slightly worried about our pre-season performances, we look disjointed and lack a goal threat - the reason we must sign Hulk. I have a feeling it will take months for the team to gel and we will be out of the title race by then.

I don't think we should sign players just because they are English and talented. We have De Bruyne, McEachran and Oscar for a midfield role in the future, no more needed.

Why is this thread even open? Does there not need to be a link to the player?

Oscar can cover multiple positions. 19 million is excellent value for one of the elite talents in Brazil.
