Wishlist Hulk

It's not your money, so what's the problem?

It could be better spent.

[Ramires7 32]

No, Sam! Save yourself!

38 million, eh? We paid more for him than Hazard. Porto really are good at gouging money out of teams. We've paid over the odds for so many players/coaches of theirs, Carvalho, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Villas-Boas and now Hulk.

i just realized that... i hate porto now

NOOOOOO... Roman don't use this money to buy modric instead please... don't listen to these dumb chelsea boards... not for 38 at least.. it should have been 28 max

These 10 Mil for Roman is Nothing.

We have no place for Luka.

If essien will leave we need to buy Fellaini/Tiote.

On who?

On who?

I dunno, put it in the bank to save for the inevitable pay rises the likes of Mata and Ramires will want now?

They both have long contracts. They can ask for a pay rise and we can gladly reject with no substantial consequences.

Clearly some people here aren't fans of Hulk, I most certainly am and I think that after a few games in a Chelsra jersey he will win round the doubters, the man is genuinely top class and he adds the physicality, directness and unpredictability that we will have lost with Drogba's departure, not to mention Hulk's searing speed and skill.

On who?

On players like Schurrle or Lavezzi. Both can play wide and upfront when needed. Only thing Hulk has over them is his physical strength, that would give us an edge in the attacking third.

Why the hell do you guys care so much about how much Roman spends? I guarantee you you won't be sulking about his price tag when we're winning trophies left and right.

Let's close down all internet forums then, because we're just expected to go along with what Roman does and have no opinions of our own.

Lavezzi was always nailed on to join PSG, no

point wasting our time trying to match wages with them. Schurrle is a good player but is nowhere near Hulk's league (at the moment).

Lavezzi isn't as good as Hulk and would cost close to £30 million...Is it worth getting him and saving £8 million? I doubt it.

I'd like Schurrle though, not a bad shout.

Would be the most stupid move ever to tell those two we don't think they're worthy of a pay raise even though they just won us the Champions League and instead we're bringing in more quality players on wages multiple times higher than theirs. Anyone could see a transfer request coming in shortly after.

The 8 million could be used to get Van der Wiel or maybe Demba Ba.

Not saying that we should be getting the latter but think you get the idea...

On giving Kalou a new contract!

You know why Torres was successful at Liverpool? He was the only one with attacking skill. They had Gerrard and Xabi in the midfield but outside of that he was on an island and could do what he wanted and wouldn't be crucified for it since he had no support which led to more runs, more shots, more goals. That is not possible at Chelsea. I would have hoped by now he would have adjusted to having talent around him and he has had some crucial assists and has benefitted from defenses paying attention to other attcking players. Hopefully he can build on his current chemistry with Mata and the addition of Hazard will only help. Hulk, not sure if he will make things better or worse IMO. Either way, Torres needs to have a manager that is confident in him helping the team win whether he is supplying goals or supplying other players.
