Wishlist Hulk

[SamuelCFC 75]

Hulk's officials are to be in London within 48 hours. Whether this is to meet with Chelsea I'm not sure.

Love it, bring Witsel back from Zenith too !

[Superblue 6,372]

I don't know what it is about Hulk but I would love him here.

Power and pace, a direct and more natural fit on the right hand side and a genuine goalscoring threat.

He offers arguably a greater long range goal threat than Lampard and such a threat will scare the shit out of teams sitting back and letting us play in front of them. That in turn will force opponents to step out at times to close down and with the likes of Mata, Oscar and Hazard to make the most of such gaps it gives us a completely alternative option.

[English Freak 456]

For the right price (15 million..maximum 20 million), Hulk would be a good signing.

[OneMoSalah 8,887]

Wait people are complaining about us signing Schurrle who is an inverted forward but want Hulk who is the fucking same... my days...

Schurrle

Pacy

Direct

Good dribbler

Hard working

Decent long range shots

Hulk

Pacy

Direct

Good dribbler

Strong

Lazy

Decent long range shots

Not saying any of the two are what we need but they are basically the same player bar maybe Hulks physically strong and Schurrle works harder and they play opposite wings.

I suppose we need someone on the right though, can't stick Oscar there.

If Hulk was available for peanuts then I'd take him possibly but still I think hes been quite shit since going to Russia.

I think people want Hulk because he's more explosive and more of a direct threat due to his strength... True, he's been shit in Russia..but he's not suited to that sort of league.

As for Schurrle, he's a team player..but he just doesn't get me excited...he's kinda like Bertrand..he'll be a good squad player for our club.

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

I use to want this guy, but I a just see him as a very inconsistent frustrating player

[haranr 485]

Hulk might be overrated but he is a good player.

His name is Hulk. That helps.

I'm sorry but is so funny this guy got the BAN hahahha:)

Legends never get the ban, you fool. "He asked to be banned as he wants to focus on his own personal life."

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Cavani

Hazard - Mata - Hulk

Oscar - De Rossi

Monstrous team - pace, physicality, passion, skill, grit all over the pitch.

Now THAT is a Mourinho team.

Off: Ha, well it's getting even funnier so I'm guessing you're one of the legends too?

On: I can't even begun to start to discribe how i don't want that so called HULK here! didn't wat him here last summer, and now especially with the last year media fiasco!

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

A player that adds some size and strength, Yes please. If it's at a decent price though, should be half of what Zenit paid for him. If that's the case why the fuck would Zenit let him go. Some of these rumours just hard to believe.

[cadenza666 221]

Now THAT is a Mourinho team.

Evening Standard saying Chelsea will not give Jose the same funds as in 2004, even Mourinho said its not about spending millions but improving the current team. cant see this at all happening, unless we sell Torres, Mikel/Romeu, maybe even Luiz to fund such a crazy team.

Spot on. I can't see Zenit letting him go for under 40mio€.

He doesn't need the same funds as he did in 2004 to compete because our current squad has more talent now than it did back then. In 2004 he spent £140m and now we just need a couple of good impact signings to improve our team enough to really challenge for the title.

DDR 10m

Hulk / Sanchez / Di Maria / Schürrle / someone else 20-25m

Cavani 35m + Torres if we're lucky.

That's roughly 80m spent and together with a few sales (Marin, Essien, Bruma, Kakuta?) the net spend wouldn't be too much anymore, would it? Then exclude Malouda, Benayoun, Ferreira and Hilario from the wage bill when they're released and that should cover the wages of all new signings. You saying the club couldn't afford that?

De Rossi's wages, Hulk's wages. Cavani's wages ? - 100k, 150k, 150k

Cavani - De Laurentis has said only if 63m is met. Torres has to be sold, and even though we'd want to sell, he may pull a Malouda and decide to stay, havent you seen in recent weeks he keeps on talking about staying till the end of his contract because he knows noone else would pay the wages he's currently on anywhere!

Essien is a Jose favourite, daddy wont sell him. Marin -2/3m? Kakuta/Bruma? haha doubt theyd fetch much, we arent exactly Porto at selling so we doubt we'd make much there.

Malouda, Benayoun, Ferreira, Hilario compared to the wages of the Cavani,Rossi,Hulk ...would cover a fraction.

Personally, De Rossi and Hulk we can afford, not all 3 (unless we're giving f**k all about FFP)

Malouda £80k, Benayoun £70k, Ferreira £40k, Hilario £20k all released. That's £10m a year saved on players who didn't even play 15 games combined this season.

If only we managed to get rid of Torres, it would save £80-100k a week from our current wage bill even if we had to compensate for some of his salary for the remainder of his contract upon joining a club who wouldn't pay him what we pay him. Marin should go for around £5m and would also take £40k off the wage bill. Essien is a tough one, Mourinho likes the guy but that doesn't mean he's incapable of thinking straight. His wages of around £80-100k a week are too high for someone who won't be a regular starter and if Mourinho could replace him with someone better, I'm fairly sure he would. A transfer fee of around £5m for Essien sounds fair.

I know the youngsters Bruma and Kakuta wouldn't go for much but that's still something. Bruma has been rumoured to be on PSV Eindhoven's radar with the reported fee being somewhere between £4-5m and I suspect Kakuta would go for something similar. Their wages are another £40k off the wage bill.

If we managed to sell all these players, together with the ones being released, it would mean around £450k off the wage bill and maybe £15m in transfer fees excluding Torres, who I'm assuming here could be heading the other way in a part-exchange deal for Cavani if only Napoli are dumb enough to take him. You saying that getting all those players off the wage bill wouldn't cover the wages of three new first team players? I say they would cover them all and more.

FFP means fuck all for us. They exclude all the exceptional items such as youth development etc. which amount to quite a lot for Chelsea so even if we were to post a loss instead of the profit we made last year, we would still be in a position to pass the FFP regulations. Can easily have a net spend of £60m if the total wage bill stays roughly the same and it wouldn't affect our chances of staying clear of problems with the FFP. Also there's a fairly high chance the whole concept of FFP will go down the drain sooner rather than later.
