capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Why can't he be a second choice striker and a second choice winger? That will get him much more game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 We can believe to Telegraph? Is it reliable? Its one of the more decent papers and the Times have been running a story too which i cant access because you have to subscribe, its another decent paper. There is too much talk about for something not to be happening imo. Bring on one of the most fearsom looking attack lines in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Why can't he be a second choice striker and a second choice winger? That will get him much more game time.What if Sturridge and Torres get injured around the same time? Who plays striker than? It's less likely that both of them would pick up injuries if they're not on the pitch at the same time. It's also clear Sturridge is a bad RW. Too selfish and won't give quality service to Torres.

capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Fine, we still have Ramires (who offers more all round than Hulk) and Marin (who's no mug) to come on if Ramires' is injured.If something should happen to both then we can get Sturridge in there.Starting:Ramires-Mata-HazardIf all are injured:Sturridge-Lampard-MarinIf one is fit:Marin-Lampard-Mata; Ramires-Lampard-Marin; Sturridge-Hazard-Marin.If two are fit:Ramires-Mata-Marin or Marin-Mata-Hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milanoww 81 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The Marcelo's account has just about 2k followers as well and also not verified....Just weird that Marcelo would have just 2k followers and the official @realmadrid account doesnt follow him as well (They follow Higuain and Sahin even though their account are unverified)....Not saying its fake, just looks really fishy....Tom Kundert @portugoaldotnetFor those asking, yes, @OficialHulk is an authentic account.

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 So looks like this deal is almost done and we'll have two world class wingers in our team although it didn't come cheap.If the rumors are true then we have spent 72m for two players,still not our highest as we spent 75m for both Torres and Luiz.Having spent so much and still continuing to,I see a significant change in our team,so there is a high possibility of us winning many trophies next season.In the managerial area,I have come to terms that RDM won't be our manager next season so when the news does become official.I won't be surprised or shocked but I'll definitely be disappointed.He helped us win two major trophies in a season which was deemed to end in failure but RDM managed to turn it around. Pep will be most likely be our new manager and I am sure he'll use the resources available at Chelsea to full advantage.I just hope that he gives our academy a chance and blends the right amount of experience and youth in the team just like RDM.Pep will also be another expensive signing,Roman is willing to pay top money for him and if I am right, the region is to be around 15m a year!Our costs not going to decrease but hopefully merchandise sales will outweigh these high costs and give us another high revenue season.A lot of players are coming in but the same must go in the other direction as well.Players like Essien,Malouda,Kalou will have to leave in the summer as they will be surplus to requirements.Irrespective of who our manager is next season,I expect a successful new campaign.We're in contention for 7 trophies and hopefully we can go on to win them all.KTBFFH!

Clevemayer 764 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hulk i tremendous....For 23 Million Punds and if we get rid of one Winger, we sometimes seem to overdo it a bit... we dont need 371 Wingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyblue 443 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 If he does it'll be the end of Ramires.Which is a fucking travesty.Why would it be the end of Ramires though? He can play in the double pivot, like he did for Brazil. None of us give Ramires enough credit for the work he does, he adapted his game to become a winger and he can just as easily adapt to become a CM in a double pivot which is more his natural position anyway. He'll still be used as a winger for rotation, signing Hulk means we'll have Hulk, Hazard, Mata, Ramires, Marin as options for those 3 positions. This 'end of Ramires' stuff is overstated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyblue 443 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I think what we're also forgetting is that Hulk was part of Avb's brilliant attacking and pressing Porto team which meant every player had to work hard. He could still be used to help out defensively as i'm sure he's got that work rate to get forward and back, but because of becoming the best player at porto last season, he didn't need to worry about that stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamiCFC9 258 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 90% done ? Not really, we are yet to agree the more important issue - the transfer fee with Porto.This arcticle actually says nothing, cuz we already knew that if its up to Hulk he will come to Chelsea 100%.But despite those greedy fuks at Porto iam optimistic.

calculatingInfinity 1,477 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 But despite those greedy fuks at Porto iam optimistic.It's business. They got a contract on him and he should honor it like any professional if they don't want to sell, would be silly for Porto not to try and get as many millions as possible. It could easily be around 90% done and it's only a few millions separating the clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamiCFC9 258 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 However this time i don't think they are in comfortable position since City, Barca and Real are not interested.And these are the only teams who can eventually splash same amount or more cash compared to us.The other factor is Hulk isn't really in his early twenties, if they want most money they will have to do it now, or next season he will be 27.Aahahah and btw I just saw mirror rumours reporting we are getting Hulk and already got Hazard but something interesting about livpool - they are in the lead for Juve reject Milos Krasic.Ahahaha what a mid-table team they are indeed.We get Hulk, Hazard they get Krasic ahahahaha, forever mid-table.The funny thing is that they don't even look close to getting in top4, their revenue is shi te and their owners will not spend like Roman or sheikh Mansur and their fanbase is dropping, so they are pretty much mid-table bound for the rest of their miserable lives.
