CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I just want us to sign a good value deal for once, or sign someone we'll make a substantial profit on.I'm probably missing someone really obvious, but the last person I remember us making a good profit on was Robben to Real Madrid. I believe we got exactly double our money back.Not forgetting anyone. Since then we have practically let every one go for free: Cole, Ballack, Sheva, Anelka, Alex, Zhirkov, and now Drogba, Kalou and Bosingwa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japep 16 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's obvious and if we can't sign him, we have to look for someone else, who will be here before pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold Zhirkov to Anzhi for about 13.2 million, Alex to PSG for 4.2 million and Anelka to Shanghai Shenhua for undisclosed fee. Don't think there were much in that.

Get your point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It'll be hysterical if the Hulk deal doesn't happen and Chelsea sign a Liverpool player,maybe Maxi Rodriguez in the 11th hour.1) No more players from the Scum2) We are European Champions and can attract much better players than trash like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Why are you talking about 'what if he wont come'? its pretty obvious he's coming... just be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The only reason I dont think Hulk will be good here is because of his brasilian thinking. Lot of brasilian players lose their play in EPL.Lucas is not even half mature as Hulk.Dzagoev, Ayew or Gotze if Hulk wont comeWhy no one wants Ayew? He is decent size, bit bulky, realy fast, good with head and both legs. Also as second striker and has some experience in CL. He was quite good this year in France.Because he doesn't really play on the right. Hulk is so much more direct that Ayew or Gotze or Dzagoev. Dzagoev shouldn't even be in the mix tbh, he'd be behind Mata and Hazard for his in the hole spot in the team. Ayew and Gotze are also more naturally on the left if I'm correct. The point I'm trying to make is that Hulk offers more when it comes to a physical, direct presence in attack. In my opinion we need someone direct in attack to force things if the likes of Hazard and Mata are getting shut down, or if we're on the counter perhaps. Ramires and Hulk on the counter would be devistating. I'm all for Hulk me, as long as it's around £35m, which is a quite reasonable price for him in today's market where the likes of Jordan Henderson, Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing cost a bomb shell.

Like the myth of being lightweight be put to rest with players like Mata, Silva and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Because he doesn't really play on the right. Hulk is so much more direct that Ayew or Gotze or Dzagoev.

In my opinion we need someone direct in attack to force things if the likes of Hazard and Mata are getting shut down, or if we're on the counter perhaps. Ramires and Hulk on the counter would be devistating. Dzagoev is right winger for Cska and Russia national team, while Ayew (you were right) is left winger. But in that case, we can just put Hazard to right, since he is good on both flanks. Ayew is younger and half cheaper, He scored around 20 goals this year, made 40 apps for Ghana and looks very certain to suceed despite his young age. He has that factor 'I will prove myself', is worker and not like Hazard, who is more a star himself. And just harsh comparison, Ayew scored 3 goals less this year (while playing in harder league for a club in crisis) than Hulk, 3 years younger, 177cm, 73kg, both play on wing or as second striker, speed, stamina, pace dribbling, while it is more possible that Ayew would evolve better than Hulk at Chelsea and play here for longer time.I realy want to see Hulk here, but perhaps he is overrated, and I dont want to see another 50mil spent for air...A new Robben we need...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 BlueLyon we're not getting Ayew so you might as well stop.At one point you want Hulk, then not because of his price and looking for alternatives like Muniain, and we have never been linked with him, while in winter, there was interest in Ayew...
