This looks like an ongoing one. Will be final day of the transfer window and we will still be going will he wont he... In my mind i am thinking that porto are trying to use the olympics to get more money,,, as in he will score a lot for brazil then porto will try and raise the asking price to like 50 mil.

I think this will happen, eventually, on the basis that the player wants Chelsea and Porto need to sell. Hazard, Marin, potentially Hulk and Oscar - would be our best ever transfer window!

What does that mean, receive 75% before the deal is concluded?! What if the deal fell through?

Could be some sort of security backup, in case some other teams might want him, we have advantage. Maybe Roman is looking for proper alternative or just waiting for olympics to see how good hulk is and complete deal then. Sure he wont go with 40mio like he went with Torres. he must first see how great player is hulk and then decide..

So, apparently, FC Porto's chairman, Pinto da Costa, is playing hardball with us. He is stubbornly insisting that his fee is £50M or nothing.

Word in Portugal is that Porto are actually in financial difficulties and that some staff haven't received their salaries in months. Just yesterday, their basketball section was shut down due to financial constraints.

The truth is that they need the money. Think if we really really want him, then we should be patient and wait it out. No need to go crazy for a player like Hulk.

I agree we have to take a stance and not pay over the odds. I would love Hulk here, I seriously rate him and think he would thrive at a bigger club and in a stronger environment. He is in his prime years now, as opposed to a player like Hazard who we all expect to get even better. I think £30m will be a decent price for him. Anything over and we'd be potentially overpaying.

My only worry is if we play hardball, AVB sells Modric and comes in to buy Moutinho, hence leaving Porto flush and not in desperate need to sell Hulk. Moses and Schurlle are very good prospects, but we have already brought three in Hazard, Marin and De Bruyne. Buying a player with a bit more maturity and experience will balance the squad out IMO.

Just tell Porto to FO. I really hope we wont play their game and end up paying 50m for Hulk. That would be a huge mistake. Rather use those money to spend on 2-3 other players.

yep anythin more than 35 (which is absuurd to begin with) is maxx. no need for a true world class rw if we sign oscar first. rather a squad player who doesnt comand startin spot, only on performance.

I think getting Hulk (or not) will define our season- with him its a big chance to win the title, or a 2nd-3rd place season without him.

If we want a fight for the title and we want to be considerd as good as Barca, Real, Bayren and City- we need a better RW than Marin, KDB or Ramires.

Hazard, Torres and Mata- its a brilliant attacking force, but Hulk will add somthing else. I wont say we NEED him, because i think we still have a very good squad, but i do think this transfer could be vital for our season.
