Eriksson is a top talent in europe that could be one of the best players in his position someday! Dortmund wanted him for this season but could'nt get him.
Lamela I'm not sure, if he will be a first class player.

...and Hulk is Hulk...

Alice, Alice Who the f**K is Lamela??

Lamela scored a goal every other game for Roma which is a league that is the hardest to score in in Europe.

He's only 21, as well he was one of Baldinis buys at Roma.

I really hope we don't get Hulk, he's not a team player and would be on massive wages.

Don't think he will come to us anyway.

ah he'd be very valuable to us, very well suited to the premiership and he will create goals, which is something we need also hes a big fan of the way avb does things, he gives a good weapon in terms of set pieces aswel

Honestly ....

I have never seen Eriksson or Lamela kick a ball.
Anytime ive seen Hulk he was poison..
Mad money being mentioned for these guys.
Where are the days off Michael Brown and John Scales gone ???
At least we knew we were getting sh1te !!

Have seen a bit of Eriksson and he looks like a lovely player. Have seen fcuk all of Lamlea, I'm only going by what i read and what some people say and he is rated very highly, must be decent for 30m

Wouldn't touch the Hulk personally.

Lamela looks a serious prospect, but at 21 he could have some learning to do in the premier league, not so sure if he would hit the ground running.

I think Hulk would be a good signing for us. Saw him paly in the Aviva before under AVB and he was the best player of the pitch, the opposition couldn't handle his fast and strong style of play, very direct like Bale and a bullet of a shot on him.

Compare Hulk (27yrs old and 27caps) to a certain Brazilian Chelsea just signed (25yrs old and 2caps), I think Hulk could be a better buy.

Imagine the beasts (Sandro and Capoue) and the Hulk in the one team! Would be great banter to see loads of Hulk masks at the lane!:D:D:D

Saw Hulk play in the CL last season I think it was and he looked 2 stone over weight and had the look of a fella who had only signed for the russians for the dollars, and was enjoying it too much. Not sure we would spend another 30m on a guy that has little resale value.

I'd love Mata at the Lane but Abramovich would rather give him away for free than deal with Levy me thinks.

Has Mata a buyout clause?

Don't think so. He's 2 years in to a 5 year contract.

I'm thinking a buyout clause would be the only way to force them sell to us. The'd just tell us to feck off otherwise

everdead.ie · 26-08-2013 2:17pm

Chelsea wouldn't sell us a cold, much less Mata would have his pick of established Champions League Clubs the world over.

Zenith had a lot of internal disputes last season and he still had a good return of goals. I didn't see him play so can't comment but he always looks like a bulky lad, they knocked Liverpool out of the Europa and Hulk scored two.

His record at Porto was very good, plenty of goals and assists.

Twitter gone mad this morning. We are getting Rooney or Mata according to the latest lunacy! I predict it will be Ronaldo and Messi by end of day.

becher · 26-08-2013 2:28pm

I suspect our "bid" for Mata may be Levy getting revenge and unsettling Mata.

Yeah I'd say Mata's head will be turned by the prospect of not playing Champions League football for Spurs.

Maybe the prospect of winning the Premier League with Spurs might wet his appetite?;);)

Seriously though, AVB brought Mata to the UK and Mata has done nothing but praise him since he left Chelsea, GOOGLE IT!

slegs · 26-08-2013 2:43pm

Even getting Mata unsettled would an unlikely but sweet end to this latest Chelsea / Spurs transfer spat

Doesn't matter if he's not interested in us. Mata's future was only being whispered about before this. Now it's making headlines.

There is no way he is coming to Spurs!

It does matter. He can't be unsettled if he has no interest in joining us.

Mata on record several times saying he loves London, if he were to leave Chelsea I reckon he might consider Spurs.

Yes, and he has also praised AVB before

No chance.

Prove me wrong Juan

slegs · 26-08-2013 3:31pm

Don't think its beyond possibility that he would want to play with us.

It is likely beyond possibility that Chelsea would sell to us.

They rarely sell to anyone as far as I can see - mostly their players are just released when out of contract

becher · 26-08-2013 3:37pm

yes chelsea wouldn't sell him,
think he will be a important player for the next years for Chelsea.

2nd Row Donkey · 26-08-2013 4:42pm

If the Marca newspaper are in bed with RM, couldn't we make it part of the Bale deal that they must run constant stories linking Chelsea players with big money moves away from Chelski and constantly link Mourhinho with the big european jobs and just generally unsettle the ba*tards.

:D:D

Herrick · 26-08-2013 5:13pm

We are supposed to finally make a £10m bid for Eriksen this week. Tbh if we do actually bid for him I will be a little annoyed that we are leaving it so late as AC Milan are after him as well, should have snapped him up far earlier this summer.

I would be gutted if we missed out on him, honestly think he's the attacking midfielder needed to supply Soldado.
