Personally I feel like Chelsea should go after Moutinho of Porto. I feel he would be a perfect central midfielder for us.

What do you guys think?

Dealing with Porto is a huge drawback,so we might not go for him.Very good player,but Modric is better in my opinion.

Overrated passing is very loose

Hazard, mata and Bale could all switch continuously making them impossible to pick up behind the striker. They are all capable in playing those three positions. I think this is a great proposition

Where's all this talk about bale come from

Agree2 Disagree0

Yeah! I'm totally lost with all the sudden Bale talk.

ELI

Agree1 Disagree0

I believe it's all purely based on the fact Tottenham sacked Redknapp and so therefore believe that every one of their top players will leave.. With a lot of people rating Bale very highly he's bound to be linked with us... I for one wouldn't want him at Chelsea.

Marin will be good for us

Hey Ed,

I don't know about other Chelsea fans but I'm absolutely loving the idea of Chelsea trying to get Gareth Bale. For the same sort of money being demanded for Hulk we could get a proven PL player, who is home grown, with direct pace taking on the full back and a fantastic ball in. He is also still extremely young plus has said he wants champs league football next year! What do you and the other blues fans think about this?

Believable7 Unbelievable1

Got too many left sided players personally plus hulk has a much better apperances to goals and assists ratio

granted not in the premier league but still in europe

my first choice would be hulk

curt

Agree1 Disagree6

I for one would like to see us pursue bale instead of hulk.with the forward line looking like this:

Hazard. Ramires. Bale
Mata
Torres

Before everyone slates the team,we all have our own opions

Agree4 Disagree3

I agree that hulk has a much better goals ratio however he doesn't track back as much as bale plus he's not as direct as bale. I see our attacking line as:

Torres
Bale. Mata. Hazard

With mata and hazard switching positions the fluidity will be incredible!

Agree2 Disagree0

I think Hulk is a very good player but,bale is better .His pace and delivery is quite something.On the other hand we are flooded with players whose primary position is the left hand side,so although he will be a great signing there more of a need to sign a right sided player,so a right sided player is the priority.Hence signing of Hulk will be more beneficial to the team.Ben Arfa (if he has improved his attitude )is another option.

Agree1 Disagree0

Hulk for me. better goal ratio, better assist, and can also play as a striker. we have marin, malouda, hazard, de bruyne & kakuta. and of which wud rather de bruyne kakuta succeed then buy bale. plus hes a y*do BLUEBOY1

Agree1 Disagree1

I have no dog in this fight but will say the stat comparison is off as bale plays in the epl and hulk plays in the portuguese league. Hulk also took the pens this year for Porto increasing his tally. Also bale is a few years younger meaning you should look at hulks stats from those days. My only concern with bale is how one footed he is.

Tk

Agree2 Disagree0

People don't realise how many Penalties Hulk scores plus how much inferior the Portuguese league is ...

Agree2 Disagree0

A team needs to be balanced in the PL and that's why I would prefer Bale to Hulk. In the Portuguese league you can get away with not tracking back and letting the defence do all the work, but in the PL you can't. We all saw how affective Kalou in the last few months of the season and all he did was help out Ashley cole!

Agree0 Disagree1

Bale is FAR better than Hulk. If u hav ever watched Hulk he is awful in the big matches he scores the majority of his goals against the lower teams in the league which are equivalent to low league 1 sides.

Agree1 Disagree1

Can I ask where this sudden Bale interest has come from, Ed hasn't said anything has he? I didn't think we were interested...

PR! {Ed018's Note - we're not}

Agree1 Disagree1

I will say if bale could convince me he's capable of playing on the right then I go for him no doubt. That being said lets be honest when saying bale was rather quiet during tottenhams poor finish to the year.

Agree0 Disagree0

I guess thats the reason lampardhas scored so many because he takes penalties

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree0 Disagree0

Hazard can play on the right and bale on the left

Agree0 Disagree0

Bale'a agent claims he is available for £40 million this summer to a champs league club

Agree1 Disagree1

Lol @ 40 mill

40 mill for bale or 38 mill for hulk, i think deep down everyone knows which one of them would be the better buy

alot of you will say bale just to disagree with me saying hulk all day long

curt

Agree1 Disagree3

Why Curt?

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd love to see the trio of Bale, Mata and Hazard behind the striker playing with the same understanding as the three German players behind the striker at the Euros. They would be unstoppable !

Agree0 Disagree0

We could do with 1 stronger player amongst them 3

Agree0 Disagree0

Hulk is that stronger player .....
argument over

curt

Agree0 Disagree1

I would go as far to say that I think Bale is as strong as Hulk

Agree0 Disagree0

I would go as far to say your dillusional then :D

curt

Agree0 Disagree1

Naahhhh...... Bale is a couple of inches taller than Hulk; if he was in the Portugese league he would be knocking them over. Average height of right/left back probably like 5 8" or something in that league ...

Ed.... with D De Rossi claiming that a move to England would interest him do we have any interest,I think he would be a fantastic addition to the squad and a much better DM than Mikel with all the attack minded midfielders in the squad someone like De Rossi is exactly what we need to anchor it all,thoughts ed? {Ed002's Note - No.}

I dont see Ramires playing on the right in an attacking three like...

Ramires----Mata----Hazard

This is far from his best position, he either filled in there due to a lack of depth in the squad last season or played on the right as part of a midfield four, against Bayern & Barcelona etc, due to his reliability defensively, like...

Ramires----Obi Mikel----Lampard----Bertrand

He may be used on the right against stronger opposition when Di Matteo wants two banks of four again but, as I say, he won't be used any further forward; that is unless there are injuries etc.

We still have a lack in depth on the right and need to either sort out the fee for Hulk with Porto (a reasonable fee or no fee at all). Or look to Moura / elsewhere. This has to be the priority right now.

On another note I have recently been promoting the idea of signing Clyne from Palace. I, unforgivingly, forgot about Kane. He is hopefully the future at RB...no need to sign Clyne.

Surewould

Moura wont leave brazil

and did you watch the bayern game, rami was suspended

curt

Agree3 Disagree2

I was referring more to the formation Ramires would be used on the right in
4-4-1-1

Agree0 Disagree0

...but yes that was a mistake!

Agree0 Disagree0

Think you need to be a bit more clear next time then :)

curt

Agree0 Disagree3

Changing that formation is stupid. hazard mata marin for one spot what a waste

Agree1 Disagree1

We deffo won't play one formation in every game next season!!

I strive to be more clear haha!

Ed, is Malouda leaving? Thanks - James13 {Ed002's Note - Possibly.}

Ed. How many players do you expect Chelsea to sign between now and the end of the summer window as a minimum (excluding Hazard and Marin). Many thanks - James13. {Ed002's Note - I am really not interested in guessing games. Sorry.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'm going with 3.5497

Not sure how ED002 is expected to answer that. There's a ridiculously large amount of factors involved. Players leaving, players becoming available, other teams dealings, deals falling through, interest changing.

The obvious positions we're looking at would be RB, Striker and a right sided attacking player.

That's about as clear as it's going to get really.

Hi Eds, Im in season 2032/33 on Champ manager and have just signed an amazing 17 year old call Ron Kelly. I know he hasn't been born yet but have Chelsea been in contact with the parents?
