We are playing hardball with Porto...it's the same as it was with David Luiz and Benfica...negotiations have broken down, and once they've seen we are a tough knot they agreed to lower the evaluation. We will either walk away or Porto will lower the price...considering Hulk really wants to leave and that there we are only interested from the big clubs I would expect them to do it...

If the deal fails, I'm pretty sure there are other potential replacements...but Hulk would be a really great signing and I'm really hoping we can snap him up.

Also, don't forget that there is a 3rd party involved which complicates and slows down the deal also...

Chelsea is doing exactly the right thing. We seem to be the only interested party and Hulk will also agree terms. Porto wants more money right now, but the fact is that even the 30M Chelsea are supposedly offering its the most they'll EVER get for Hulk. No one is giving them more than that, and since they are a selling club, I'm pretty confident they'll agree eventually.

They will hold out as long as possible though, just cause they can and to allow Chelsea to feel the pressure and possibly increase the transfer sum, but at the end of the day if Chelsea has made an offer, they will accept. Hulk is 25, if they want to make money off him, this is the time otherwise it's as good as asking him to retire for Porto, cause no way they make as much money off him as they can this summer.

However, considering we've been going after Moses and Oscar, total of probably 30M which we offered for Hulk might seem like we've given up on Hulk altogether, cause I don't see us spending THAT much this year. Moses & Oscar + Hulk, that's too much money imo. I think Chelsea had two options 30M Hulk or 30M for Oscar + Moses and they chose the latter.

It sounds impossible, but we were after

Hulk and Modric. I think if Porto will be ready

to sell Hulk, we will buy him, no matter we (will) sign Oscar. Sure Moses then falls of, but Oscar and Hulk wouldnt be that impossible. Hazard, Hulk, Oscar and Marin. It would be best transfer summer ever.

Why does the Guardian continues reporting we agree the deal with Hulk?

Cause in the Oscar article they said at the bottom:

A £38m fee has been agreed in principle between the clubs but there are complications related to Hulk's third party ownership, and over who will pay the monies owing to his investors.

Don't really understand why Chelsea allow themselves to be held ransom to over Porto. Okay fine someone else might snap him up, but with the amount we've spent already (if, for example, Oscar would come for the sum being thrown around) we're treading a tight line with our expenses.

We've added a number of wingers now, surely it's time for the club to forget about Hulk and find cheaper targets?

Thats something you dont ask CL champions. FFP doesnt exist for us this summer ;)

Well If I remember Gourlay said that winning the CL gave us like 100 million pounds...and then don't forget some of the sponsors we recently got in certain things.

If we where to spend this money on Hulk and Oscar, I don't think we would all that bad, giving that even with all the losses we had last season we where close to break even for FFP standards....and then not to mention that the first couple of monitoring period you are allowed to have a certain amount of losses.

So is just more envy/hatred from the uneducated breed of people to throw around!

Indeed. FFP takes into account 'future years'. You can still make losses but you need to show that your club is on the right track. A lot of people are getting too worried about it.

If we don't get him then I won't be sad at all.Ramires did a fine job for us as a right winger and Sturridge could always fill up the role if Ramires is injured or maybe Marin could take over.Plus anyways,we will be looking at other alternatives which will be much cheaper and so therefore I guess there is nothing to worry about.

True but hulks physicality, versatility, skill would make more of an improvement/impact than all those you listed

Yes but Porto are blocking the move and there is nothing we can do about except pay more than 40m which is highly inadvisable

Agreed anything over 40 million pounds would be totally ridiculous
