[Hutcho 8,443]

The source says "Nothing is signed but a deal in principle is agreed for €25 million.

Which is worrying.

[Billy. 2,742]

cant see us getting Hulk if we get him

[Hutcho 8,443]

Can someone explain me why we need him... he gonna be in the starting line up?...

He is thought to be our replacement to possibly having modric with the ability to hold in a DP role or in a CAM role. He is a great young talent and with it being a bit of a gamble if he takes to the prem could be the next best thing. Better that than tottenham get him for cheap and he turns out to be an amazing star. From what i have seen as limited to several clips on youtube and some brazil matches i have seen, he has great talent and even better potential, and it cant do any harm to have him in our squad.

1. Do you think we need Modric? If you do, then you had it figured out already.

2. I dunno if he will be in the starting line-up straight away, but he started for Brazil recently, so you would think that he certainly has the abilities to start for Chelsea.

We have about a dozen attacking midfielders, seriously I have no idea why we need Oscar apart

from AVB wanting him and Roman wanting revenge or something

TBH i cant see us getting hulk atm with or without him. i think the 2 signings are basically mutually exclusive with the exception of the amount of money spent which we know from past experience doesn't seem to be that much of a problem for roman. I think Porto are asking too much and Roman likes to splash the cash though isn't stupid. You don't get that rich by making stupid decisions.

i don't understand why we need him...

Same here mate, same here.

--------------Cech---------------

Iva---------Terry---------Luiz-------Cole

---------------Mikel/Ramires--------------

---------Oscar/Piazon--------Mata------

Hulk--------------------------------Hazard

------------------Torres-----------------

Sub options: Hilario, Marin,Kakuta, Romeu, Cahill,De Bruyne,Sturridge, Bertrand, Hutch

Josh,Lukaku = loan

Malouda, Meireles, Ferreira and even Essien and Lampard could all leave

So just ditch our most consistent performer for the last decade? A Chelsea legend? Jesus what happened to loyalty, people always complain that players are fickle but then how no love in return.

Makes me sad...

[Hutcho 8,443]

Oscar is better than Raul merieles and suits the type of formation we want to play. Ramires is better imo but we cant play him in those 2 deep roles, and as much as i love Super frank, he wont be able to play every game, though i do expect him to be starting a lot of games as he is still IMO one of our best players . Mikel is the obvious defensive option in the 2. We can also move him forward. If we get him then there is no way he will play wide right, though he can play CAM. if we bought him, given he starts for razil i would fully expect him to be a starter/main rotation as many players will have big roles with the amount of games we have to play in a season.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I guess Roman and Rdm wanted Modric and Hulk. I dont think money was problem, but Modric wanted to go to RM and Spurs didnt want to sell to us. So we dediced to go after Oscar.

That wont matter if we get Hulk or not. As long Porto will sell him to us, we will accept anything below 50mio I guess.

Good buying, we would probably get Oscar for 16-18mio, but we had to offer more than Spurs and it came to 25, which is fair comparing to 40mio for Modric.

Again, I dont see why would this transfer end us buying Hulk aswell.

Totally agree, especially when he still has great quality. The only downside is his age, but he is still one of the fittest players there is, so who cares how old he is. He can still sit on the bench when he is 40, if he can chip in 10 goals a season.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Still don't see why signing a good quality prospect can be a bad thing. We may not need another cm/Cam as the highest priority but everyone loved the idea of modric. I personally would love to see him here. If reports are to be believed as well a few more of our midfield could be leaving and a lot of our youngsters going out on loan.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

If he can play in the double pivot, then it means we have someone who can take the deep lying play maker role to partner alongside Mikel/Romeu. If he can then he can easily get into the first team.

----Mikel/Romeu----Oscar-------

--Marin/Ramires-----Mata-----Hazard----------

--------------------Torres-----------------------------

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

Modric is a different thing. he will come and play all the time.

Oscar is still young and unproven... will we throw him to the starting line up from the beginning?.... i doubt it.
