Wishlist Hulk

kdb is a winger, ramires should not play as dm. josh has already had 2 years on the professional circuit and on the bench plus how do we know he is not ready. let me ask u, how old is hazard? 21 right. but we expect him to be our saviour for the forseeable future, who can say if we had put some trust in kakuta and josh, they would not have become the hottest prospects. i think many of us confuse real football with fifa manager mode in which if we play a youngster too much, his development stops, thatr is bull-shit. hazard has been a 1st team regular for 3 years. its all about getting chances but unfortunantely we dont give any.

Go do some research mate, Kdb only played on the wing for Genk due to a lack of options and he came through there academy as a CM. The last part of their season in Belgium, Kdb played in the central midfield role and was one of the best players in the league. We know Josh isn't ready because firstly he hasn't got a set position and thirdly because he can go missing in games. If we're playing Josh in the double pivot he currently lacks the strength to perform a role for us there and if we play him in the No 10 he's not quick enough on the ball like Mata. You can't be obsessed with bringing youth just because they've been on the professional circuit for two years Bertrand's only making it likewise for Welbeck and Cleverley. You can't compare Hazard to Mceachran, because Haard broke through a team which doesn't have a lot of pressure to perform due to not challenging for titles year in year out, whereas we have that pressure on us. Look at how Fergie uses his kids for the perfect example of bring youth through

If all this is because Torres can't score, why don't we just sign an actual striker? Assuming that we'll have Mata, Hazard and Marin next season, it seems pretty silly that we should sign Hulk instead of Falcao or Cavani because he is a winger who can play as a striker.

I think they WANT Torres to score (scored tonight for Spain) and are hoping he is the guy, so instead of pissing him off and signing an expensive striker, they are hedging their bets by adding (potentially) a winger that has a scoring touch, so we can get goals from other positions if Torres struggles again.

I dont think we will sign a CM if we get hulk in. seeing as we got 60mil for winning the champions league, i think hazard and hulk are affordable but with ffp coming, we cant spend on another player. maybe a marin-esque deal for under 10 mil for a good midfielder but not a class playmaker for sure.

assuming di matteo continues his current 4-2-3-1 formation i think ramires and lampard at the CM positions will be a good option because ramires can play as the B2B and Lampard as the DLP. Mikel and Meireles rotated with Romeu as the backup. Hulk and Sturridge on the right, Hazard and Marin on the left, Mata and KDB or Benayoun down the centre and Torres and Lukaku up top. we are good to go

We also just signed a massive deal with Audi, got rid of Drogab, Kalou, Bosingwa, Benayoun, Zhirkov, Anelka, Alex and possibly Essien. Our sponsorship deal with Adidas and Samsung is also yet to be signed too put it in shorter terms we've made an absolute shit load of money this season which is why even with signings gourlay said we're close to breaking even. You highlighted a key problem there when you said 'Meireles rotated' and which is why i think we'll get a CM because we can't have Lamps playing 40 games again this season, we need someone who can displace him and play regularly and Meireles isn't good enough in all honesty although a useful squad player

Ramires and McEachran can rotate with Lampard.

Im surprised the rumored Hulk numbers are bigger than Hazard's. I like Hulk, but I rate Hazard higher. But if we complete this, it looks like we will pay a higher transfer fee for Hulk. I guess FCP is better at getting more money for their players

[themightyblue 443]

Mceachran will probably be out on loan

U just cant go ahead and sign a striker when u have 3 in waiting. Signing a right winger makes more sense at this point of time because

1.we dont have a specialist RW. I know Marin can play because he is more of a versatile player but again i believe he would be used more of backup still we need a cover of him if he starts in that position.

2. I dont think we have a RW coming from our youth rank as well (correct me if i wrong here)

3. Let's not have a makeshift plan like last year which just didnt work for us.

We can strengthen the entire midfield this window and provide the platform for the strikers to perform because then there shouldnt be any complaints.

EXACTLY this. Anyone who is wondering why were getting Hulk and not a genuine RW or a genuine CF, this is why.

Ramires is great at adapting to whatever is needed of him, we are going to need a strong DM and he can do it. Imagine having his pace and ferocity back there... Deadly, especially on the counter. He and Mikel would be great back there. Marin did indeed play a lot of CM at Genk until he was moved due to necessity. He can play back there and bring in the Hulk on RW. That's just ridiculous. If we do that and bring in Azpilicueta I may die as happiness.

We've got Ramires, who's probably a better option than Hulk.

[ChelsPrad2000 10]

It will be called naive, but I think if we want to have Ramires and Hulk at the same time in our squad, then use Rambo as a right shuttler. Torres benched (contrary to RA’s promises). Hulk up front, pivot of Lampard and Mikel remains the same. Hazard and Mata are the other forwards.

[coolhead23 1,147]

Come on, mate. Ramiers is better at the center and has really done well in there making it his own. He wasnt much of an impact when he was playing in the wings for the few games which he was there so why push him there unless there is no other option. We need to utilize his pace and energy in the middle and not at the side. Again by pushing him into the right we would then need to look out for a CM to fill in the void. Better get a RW with Marin as the backup and we dont have to worry abt it for few years.

you do your research dude. its on wiki and i am pretty sure we bought him as a winger and not as a cm, and thats why people here are saying that we dont need another. you can even read other posts to make sure of it. as far as josh is concerned, how do u know that he is not ready? have we given him any chance. showed any faith in him. we want him to be a dm wen he definitely looks a perfect option for cam. and if you are worried bout josh and his physicality believe me u r in for a big disappointment when u see marin. and i do look at fergie. he trusted welbeck (who has one of the worst first touched for a striker) and played him ahead of berba and javier. we dont want to do that with danny and want hulk as am option. what does that say?

marin at genk? i think u meant kdb. but i dont think rambo and mikel would be a good combo defensively. plus both of them dont have that range of passing as lamps as he showed in the barca match with the diagonal ball to rambo and that has got to be the most important aspect while playin in the double pivot.
