Would be more concerned if he was happy not playing to be honest.

Would not be in favour of Kakuta going out on loan again, he needs to be given a chance at some stage. If we do as well as hoped we will play about 60 games next season he should be able to get game time in there if he is good enough, if not seel him.

Kakuta is not good enough for Chelsea IMHO

About £36 million by my estimation

Meglamonia

He'll obviously be a fantastic addition to the team for us but 36 million for Hulk just seems wrong to me.

Remember John O'Shea destroying him when they played in the Champions League,really dunno about this lad on the big stage,hope he goes and proves me wrong tho.

I am not sure not seen enough of him. But if not then be best all round to cut him loose - but we did that with Tore and Sinclair and I think we were wrong on both counts.

what a day

Lukaku sounds to me like he needs a reality check. He was behind Drogba Torres and then Sturridge, not to mention Kalou. Granted he should have got one or two more games here an there but a manger in his first season is rearly going to play the young guns and rely on proven players untill his position is safe.

Would love if the Hulk siging went trough! €36m is a bit steep if you ask me but he is a quality player and im sure he will have a decent return to the club trough shirt sales and his contrbution on the pitch.

Meglamonia

I thought that 40 million or so was bad but jesus christ

TouchlineDrama ‏@TouchlineDrama
Record say Porto president Jorge da Costa is holding out for a fee in the region of €75m for Hulk; €25m higher than Chelsea's current offer.

he was hardly a young gun, other than his age. 98 games for Anderlecht, 14 for Belgium.

A nice polite fúck off back would be perfect.

I agree grumpy, i personally think we should hold on to this season and play him in the carling cup games try him out and see if we can grow with us for the season then make a desicion on wetaher to cut him loose or not.

Are they havng a laugh?why arent we in for Falcao too?

Because they would want similar silly money.

If we have made about £100 million from the UCL then spending about £40 Million so far is grand, but not giving stupid money for a striker.

he's more a right winger, attacking. but I agree.
Could be just wrong, but 45 million euro I can live with, but not a penny more!
(Even though its not my money!)

Chelsea have repeatedly said they have a price they will go to and have walked away before, so I expect them to do the same here.
Porto will be left with an unhappy player

I'd have thought that we would be in a good position to broker a deal with Athletico over Falcao.
Courtois is hardly going to come back next season and they love him over there, also Lukaku could be loaned out there for a year ........

double GG

If Chelsea can secure the signing of Hulk, they will be sorted for many years to come. The squad is more and more balanced now, plenty of youthful signings to go with the experience they already possess.

I am a Man United fan but to be honest, that Chelsea team is beginning to frighten me. I have always been a fan of Torres and I expect him to have a good Euros and come back to the PL in flying form to lead the line and with Marin, Hazard, Hulk, Ramires, Mata and Sturridge you have the making of a very fearful attacking unit. You could even add Lampard to that mix.

Then you got to look at the defence which I think is the best back 4 in the league in Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry and Cole. All are very experienced and if they can all stay fit not many goals will be conceded.

Also between the sticks, Cech looks back to his best and youngster Courtois really impressing at Atletico Madrid, the future seems to be in good hands.


I really fear Chelsea will be a massive force next season.

Yesterday I thought we had Hulk but now it's gonna drag on all summer!

thanks, thats the idea! BUT. The reality has been that the current squad SHOULD have won a lot more and it was only a certain canny scot and a certain trigger happy russian that stopped us!

So, as long as you have the oxygen tanks standing by, it should be a straight fight between us, utd and city!

Selfishly though, it's good for Chelsea. He would have been hammered by press and fans regardless of performance and he will now be fresh for next season.

Dozen Wicked Words

With all these vacancies in premier league I think Chelsea should do the decent thing now and tell Robbie if he has the job or not. So he can get another job. He would walk into Swansea or Norwich.

Three more or two considering he served one.

First 3 group stage games,or else the super cup counts as one so it will that and first 2 group stage games,either way it's 3.

Surely he's served one game already?

As far as I know when you are sent off you are automatically banned for the next game unless you appeal. I'd say he's banned for the next 2 games so that would mean just 1 group game I'd say.

Sgt Pepper,

Looks like the station I chatted to you about through PM was spot on about the Hulk announcement, right down to the fee being between £35m and £40m.


Damn impressive buying so far by Chelsea. Have a feeling that you guys either have a manager already sorted or one that is all but signed up and the players he wants are being got in advance.

Yep, they were right! I dont actually think we have a manager. Its mainly Michael Emenalo recommending players that have been recommended to him by scouts (And of course, Hulk was wanted by AVB)

Looks like Liverpool are going to follow the chelsea model although a senior board will take the place of Roman, but the manager will have very little say in transfers

Have we signed Hulk officially or something?

Porto have accepted Chelsea's bid for him and have given the player permission to discuss personal terms. Was announced officially by Porto tonight.

I'm sure if you offered Lamps a choice of winning the CL with Chelsea, or the European Championship with England, he'd choose the CL. The man bleeds blue!


What a serious strike force we have next season though, lads! Torres, Hulk, Hazard and Mata. Possibly the strongest in European football? Tough call.

I really think there'll be another big signing or too to add to that! Already can't wait for next season.

That is epic! Love all the subs going mad running onto the pitch when Schweinsteiger misses.
I still get goosebumps seeing Drogba run up. Ah, what a night!

Yakult

I'd say a lot of defenses are already dreading that forward line. All you need now is to get Torres firing again and you will score for fun!
