This is too much ignorance for me. I get enough from walking the streets in England, I don't need another portion of it in the forums in the night. Sometimes I can't believe people in this country can be so ignorant to anything but their own thing/country/team/whatever. Will need to find another place where the only comments appreciated aren't "yey, I am so excited, let's have a party" or "God, I am getting nervous, he might not sign". Sigh. Have fun, bye.

I can easily support Chelsea, Levski FC and Bulgaria at the same time with equal amounts of passion. + when one of them is sh*t (or 2) there's always something to cheer me up from the third team (like this year with Chelsea!). Having said that I do prefer club football, probably because our national side is total crap right now...

There's an existing topic just like this one. Stick with it but I don't think there's much to discuss anymore. It seems we will be done with the transfer by mid-June : )

Ramires is 1:1 with Maggio. I've said it before, I am saying it again. He is the definition of MR. Unfortunately, we don't play either diamond or Italy's 1 DM 3 CM midfield so he'll have to adapt to another non-natural position. He can easily be a rotation for Frankie and Hulk. By covering 2 positions he should get 25+ games a season. But that is 1 year only until Frankie's legs let go. Someone will have to replace him afterwards and the contenders ATM seem De Bruyne and Ramires.

No 6 will suit him perfectly (it is ideal for his role). Is he insisting on 12? Actually Hulk can get 20 that he uses for Brazil, but I'd still want him to get 12 as I always associate 12 with the Fans, but don't want a Mikel shirt, lol. edit: forgot Romeu was 6...too many changes. I guss he's getting 20 : ( Shame.

Hazard can get 11 for what I care. 10 suits Mata fine, it's just my prediction. I want that 12 shirt with Hulk's name ASAP.

He's still in the US and the clubs haven't agreed on price. Too early. I guess it will be at least 2 weeks before official signing assuming we get him.

Hulk uses 12. I can easily see him getting it at Chelsea. Hazard - 10. Mata 11/13. My 2c.

Bullsh*t...they will say he is not good enough for them and that Park Ji Sung is four times better and dependable in big games.

If he has the same impact on us that Aguero and Silva had on sh*tty, I am a happy lad. He might need some time, we will see. I don't doubt for a second that as an investment he is worth it.

It's not like any of our youngsters has done any miracles while on loan bar Courtouis at Atletico and Sturridge at Bolton. From the actual academy products no one has impressed while on loan enough to be even close to first team of Chelsea. If Mitrovic thinks he is good enough put in a transfer request and go play elsewhere (Borini was a starter for Roma all season long doing relatively OK).

I'd think you go on a discussion board to discuss stuff...that's the purpose of it. You go on tribalfootball, twitter or something like that to check out the latest rumour. Let's not be offensive to the ones that have an opinion on certain topics, including myself. Stating that you don't like it is even more trollish then discussing off-topic stuff as it contribute even less information on the topic.

OK. The boy has beem hyped up enough. Let's hope he will live up to expectations. Same for Hulk if he completes the move. Can we please now sort out the RB situation and remove some unnecessary squad players. Thanks, mr Abramovic.

Just a couple of points: 1. Brazil were VERY poor. 2. Hulk wasn't terrible, just average - he had 2 outragious shots that he tries from time to time and on some occasions they go in, but sometimes it just makes him silly. He still created 2 very good opportunities for teammates and crossed quite well from a couple of set pieces. He also had a good penalty shout that he created all by himself which could have easily been given. 3. Last but not least, we are judging him on price, which hasn't even been announced yet - just a rumour. Apparently the deal will be for 35m or less if the 30 and 38m standing positions as of today are correct. On a sidenote: I love this Oscar guy - had a good game once again. Want to see him in Chelsea Blue very very soon. He plays exactly like Kaka and I always felt sorry we didn't get him years ago. I realize Piazon is a similar type of player - one of the two will be great qite soon! And just to finish the Brazil game - Lucas was nowhere to be seen yet again when he came on - if I have the choice of spending 32m on Lucas or 35m on Hulk, that would be the quickest decision in my life - Hulk. Damiao seems like a joke, too, let Spurs have him!

There are other classy left wingers out there + we have some already. Won't cry about it even though it will be disappointing. Still, the chance of that happening is like 1% so I don't understand why is everyone so worried.

Or he might be talking about interior design of his new holiday home in say Mallorca. You guys are going a bit far in the conspiracy departments. When Chelsea announce it we will be among the first to find out. Don't understand what's the hurry (season starts in August) and paranoia(?) all about - he is clearly joining us. Even if he doesn't for some odd reason - is that the end of the world?

Steering a bit off topic again but simply can't stay silent...So Argentina has no world class players around Messi? Don't make me laugh: Di Maria, Tevez, Aguero, Higuain, Pastore, Lucho Gonzalez just off the top of my head. Bad company I guess... Yes, they don't have Xavi but if Messi can't play without Xavi what's the fuss all about?

Which should eventually narrow it down to his fair market price of 32-35, which I stated should be the price ages ago. I hope they can agree on a price in between the current positions.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1086052/chelsea-transfer-target-hulk-hints-at-porto-exit?cc=5739 This just in - sounds like a farewell.

Hated him with passion for Utd with his funny mustache. He was actually very good for Sky in his brief spell there. One thing I want from the Euro as on-the-pitch commentary with a mic on Gary through the Red Button just to listen to his goalgasms - not that England are likely to score much...

Neither, lol. Who needs mediocre players from Arsenal?

Falcao is the best player of the bunch but we already have Torres so I can't see a point in this thread. If you were comparing 3 RWs then that would be fine, but out of the list only Hulk is a RW and we certainly don't need a striker right now (maybe next season if Torres fails again).

Messi has been terrible for Argentina and fans and journos are all over him constantly for not performing. BaneIvanovic has some strange understandings of football...can't even see a point in arguing with him anymore. As to Ramires - this is their Olympics squad, which has age limitations with some exceptions and Ramires is not part of the squad. Not complaining, he can get some much needed rest in the summer.

Got your point, just wanted to state the obvious anyway! ; )

Just submitted mine: A bit Russia heavy but will do for now.
