Now that Chelsea have finally got a new manager in place they can finally get on with trying to close the gap between them and Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson has wasted no time this Summer and it looks as if this transfer window could been one of the busiest for a long time at Old Trafford, with the managerial limbo at Stamford Bridge however they clearly have some catching up to do. Whilst supposedly they made an offer for Luka Modric, and rumours abound that talks are ongoing with Romelu Lukaku as well as Brazillian sensation Neymar, it is probably not surprising that without a manager they have failed to complete any moves.
I think there is one player however that should be wrapped up as soon as possible, there have been suggestions flying around the back pages for about 18 months now about the possibility of Brazilian forward Hulk moving to the Premier League and I think now would be as good a time as any. The 24 year old is currently playing for Porto and has played under Boas, therefore even if interest did come from other clubs the possiblity of linking up with his former coach would surely not be one he would want to pass up.
The Chelsea squad needs a real overhaul, and there is evidence that the process has already begun, new faces such as Fernando Torres, Ramires, and David Luiz appear to be the future at Stamford Bridge and there are players that a few years ago were vital are now somewhat surplus to requirements. Players such as Nicolas Anelka, John Obi Mikel, Florent Malouda, Salomon Kalou and maybe even Didier Drogba are now looking less important to Chelsea.
It is a possibility that Roman Abramovich may have to do something that he isn’t used to doing and actually show some patience, the rebuilding of Chelsea won’t be done overnight, but it could be highly beneficial in the long term. Ferguson rebuilds his United squad every now and again and they may go a couple of years without a trophy, but it always pays off in the end. As this rebuilding continues I think Hulk is an absolute must.
The forward has scored 23 goals in 26 domestic games this season as well as laying on 13 goals for team mates, he has also managed to net 8 goals in European competition clearly a superb season for the 24 year old. Mostly playing from the right wing he would provide a real threat in the Premier League something that would only help the so far forlorn Chelsea striker Torres. His versatility is admirable, he is also adept at playing on the left or through the middle, and I think he has all the physical assets required to excel in English football, he has immense strength, pace, and a blistering strike, he has everything you need to score goals in the Premier League.
He has previously been linked with a whole host of English clubs, Tottenham have supposedly considered a move, as have Manchester United and Manchester City but the presence of Boas at Stamford Bridge would surely now make them favourites for his signature. Tabloid press reports have also linked Chelsea with Falcao, a team mate of Hulk at Porto but I still believe the Brazilian to be the better option.
Clearly this wouldn’t be a cheap move to finance, but according to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Porto would accept around £35million for the goal machine and they also reckon that he is the new Chelsea man’s top priority. An outlay of £85million on 2 strikers over a period of about 6 months could be seen as excessive but I am sure it would reap rewards, and I am certain that Hulk would be somewhat of a super hero at the Bridge… you didn’t think i’d make it through without one joke about his name did you?

hulk would be a perfect solution on the wing,neymal is too lanky 4 the premiership he will b a flop to chelsea like robinho was to man city.
Chelsea got 2 sign an a creative midfielder 4 tha strikers 2 shine bt i fancy a falcao move than hulk’s bt if both wa 2 come it will b good for us
go buy hulk he is goin to tear the hearts of any club that stands infront of us,,,,35m for hulk?greatest deal ever coz if i were the owner of chelsea id even buy him in 100m he is an outstanding talent and what chelsea lack ,a brave skilly powerfull forward who can play either side of the pitch,,go chelsea get him!
we dont ned to waste 45m on Neymar that kid in real case as his standerd he wont worth even 20m 45m? damn yea he has got some skills but he playsin brasil and the clubs in brasil sucks!poor club and most of the players are some worst player so heis showing his quality,mlol i can bet that if Kakuta was there in place of neymar he would have cost nore than 60m ,,,,,Neymar is tottaly over prised
get hulk at any case and wellwin every thing andbuy pastore,falcao and mata or play zhirkov regular coz zhirkov was a kind of player that would have changed the whole chesea but that damn carlo not givin him any chancenow AVB give him a change of regular chance of playin and shee wat he really is ,,ive seen him play so near of me he is unbelive piece of human he can go outstanding at chelsea if given regular chance
Hulk is a wing-striker who struggles to get a regular place in the Brazilian team. Neymar does have a regular place in the team and is Brazil’s top choice in wing-strikers. Falcao is an opportunist striker like Drogba and Torres. He needs to be fed good passes to score. It only makes sense to sign Falcao if one of our main strikers is leaving. Modric is a brilliant a playmaker, and Chelsea must go all out to get him. But Chelsea cannot rely on Modric alone. Creative, defence-breaking strikers like Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar, are essential.
i believe wat we need is a creative mid-fielder like mordric d likes of anelka,malouda,essien,ferreira,bosingwa should go give zhirkov more playing time.
Well i will be the happiest man if chelsea could buy HULK nd Modric for the midfield,they shld stop wasting money we only need HULK nd Modric
Yes we should stop waisting money,buying hulk at 35 million is a big waist of money when falcao can go for 27million…what chelsea needs now is modric and falcao,and newmar too but is quite expensive,i would prefer nasri
pls chelsea should buy huk and sancezs for hulk have the body 2 hold the ball so we need somebody like him
and sancezs can drinble wit the ball so les get them i love them pls les sign them
pr*ck
chelsea need to sign him is a good attacker
Pls,i am in full surport 4 wat Alan Frank said.Andre should go 4 Falcao and Hulk.Falcao is the hot cake which all big clua managers want so AVB should not waste any time.The Bluz!!World Famous.
