They must be pissed that every 2-3 summers, we come stealing their manager and/or player(s).

They're by far & large a selling club. Only last summer they did spend quite a lot of money(& yet failed to progress through the Grp stages of CL).

Fonseca his agent claims Hulk has privately told him that Chelsea is his preferred destination.

[stokerino]

And now we ask ourselves why his agent decided to disclose (or invent) this in public.

a very good player agreed..but is he worth a huge sum?I dont think so..not a penny above 30m..reason->..turns 26 in july..not EXACTLY a young signing like a mata or hazard..would be delighted if we get him for around 25-28m..

Porto's President is convinced we'll have to pay £85mil. He needs to get real..

He'll get real ... Real money if he continues to drive a hard bargain.

If Falcao went for 40 million Euros, Porto seriously cannot be expecting 85 million pounds for Hulk! I'm pretty sure its posturing on the part of the Porto president to get as much as he can for Hulk. I guess everyone has expected Hulk to cost between 28-35 million pounds but now Porto feel that they can probably extract between 40-50 million pounds - by saying they won't sell him for less than his release clause and also feeling that Chelsea are in maybe a position of desperation ala Torres where we'd splash out for Hulk. So yeah he's crazy if he really thinks that he will sell Hulk for 85 but I think the man is not mad and is just increasing Hulks real market value with this whole act. Remains to be seen what Chelseas position in this is and most importantly what Hulk feels about the situation and how much he wants the move to Chelsea!

Lets hope he has an agreement of sorts with Porto where if he comes forward with a move request that they will let him go - I guess the 40 million Euro mark that they sold Falcao for would be fair for Hulk and also the absolute maximum we should go. I believe he will be worth it over the long term - he will suit the EPL with his extreme power yet still remaining agile and very quick! He is the new Adriano in my book but doesn't seem to have the same issues!

Not sure I'd fancy Hulk at Chelsea to be honest.

[Sleeping Dave]

Oh jeez. I just can't deal with another transfer window where it will be all over the papers - will we sign him, won't we sign him blah blah. Crazy club president out in the media on a semi-daily basis stating "he won't leave for a penny less than £85m" etc.

I think I'll block all news sites etc and stay well clear of this forum between May 13 and the start of next season.

Eighty-Five ****ing Million!

What can one buy with 85 million? Well 85 mansions, the countries of Zimbabwe, Niger, Burundi, and Mozambique, 36 of the most expensive car on the world the Bugatti Veyron Super Sports, 977,011 tickets to Stamford Bridge, 170,340 Ipads, and I can go on but I think my point is clear.

We need to stop spending silly money. Assuming that we do go in for him at 85 million...

For 85 million we could probably turn someone into the Hulk

[Suiko]

85 mil isn't happening. I wouldn't want him at the more "reasonable" 30-40 mil range either to be honest, he's good but not THAT good

[Ando]

£30mil max for Hulk IMO. There are many options and alternatives out there who are just as good or have the potential to become even better e.g. Hazard, and Lucas Moura.

These 2 for me are totally different class to Hulk and Willian

We probably said the same thing about Liverpool's chief executive when he slapped £50m on Torres. . . .with Roman, you can always expect the impossible.
