Chelsea are threatening to pull out of the race for Porto’s Hulk and Napoli’s Edinson Cavani for financial reasons as the west Londoners are refusing to be held to ransom.
The duo have been long terms targets for us, with Hulk being the most heavily linked, and there has been no end to rumours of them moving to Stamford Bridge over the course of the summer, but financial reasons have prevented either signing.
It is the Brazilian that has been linked with us the longest, especially since Andre Villas-Boas joined us last summer and the links have not broken since the Portuguese manager was sacked in March. But we’re unwilling to meet the demands of Porto for the player. Reports suggest that although he has an £80 million release clause, they will let him go for around £38-40 million.
Hulk did not wish to discuss or think about his future whilst on international duty at the Olympics but has now publicly stated that he would like to move to England and may even attempt to force a move, so we’ll have to watch this space in regards to this particular saga.
As for Cavani, he’d be allowed to go for around £35 million which is also a hefty fee, but it’s not necessarily the reason that we will end our pursuit of him. He’s asking for £150,000-a-week in wages and according to the Daily Mail, Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo has made it clear that we will not pursue the forward unless he lowers his wage demands.
I think Chelsea have one more big signing in them before the end of the window and it could very well be one of the two above, although we cannot rule out a complete suprise…Neymar? (wishful thinking). In relation to Cavani and Hulk, the latter would represent more value for money in my opinion as he’d likely start on the right and can play backup to Fernando Torres. Cavani is also fairly versatile, but I wouldn’t be mooting him for a starting place as a winger.
In other news, unrelated to the two above, Victor Moses’ move to Chelsea could be close (AGAIN!) as Wigan have signed Arsenal’s Ryo Miyaichi on loan, who could potentially replace Moses in the side and pave the way for his return to London.
Chelsea get cavani give him d wages he demand 4 his a good striker he scored 33 goal in seria A. Or get hulk.
We need hot striker like cavani nd moses. Pls we shld get dis two boy.
chelsea shld get cavani cos he worth £150K per wk.dey shld also sign cesar n moses b4 d window end
U make me so happy to day. The player that we need for now, Moses, Cavani/Hulk and Azpilcueta. That is enough.
CFC hv enough strikers in Torres,Sturridge and Piazon bt may need a midfielder like Martinez,fellaini,witsel and moutinho to complement wit what they hv now,ofcourse U know Ramires can play RWB pstn in a 3-6-1 4mation
A????? very sure you are out of your mind,??? wnt tø??? play a 3-6-1 formation in england???do ??? tink its a playstation???if you are the manager i bet it you won’t use more dan 2 month b4 your contract will be terminated if ?† †??????? worst will happen tø??? chelsea….
United have just agreed a fee with Arsenal for RVP
WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TORRES IS GOING TO BE LIKE
SO I THINK WE SHOULD GO FOR HULK AND CAVANI
AND HURRY UP CHELSEA AS PRE SEASON HAS BEEN POOR
Bring in moses and Cavani and a RBK or els we wil sufa dis season
Instead of lamentin over Cavani’s wage bill, y can’t we offload either Essien, Malouda or Meireles (wanted by Napoli) 2reduce d wage bill & at d same tym get we need most @dis tym- a versatile CF? Also, we shdn’t 4get dat we urgently need a RB…. KTBFFH!
