Doubt that will happen. Although if he is deemed replaceable then I could see why it might. Hasn't made himself fundamental to us this season, but I would want him to get another shot next year in a settled team - at least.

28 million, lets do it and then we can buy another soldado. I can imagine our opposition will be terrified.

I can't take an article seriously that doesn't even get a players name right.

If we are selling to Chelscum, I can't see why the Point 76 million instead of a round 29 or 30 million pounds. So the decimal point could only come from a fee in Euro or the US dollar. Why a deal between two English clubs be in any other currency than sterling? Really think it's BS.

It's a bit of optimistic thinking (although I do like it), the figure doesn't really sync up with converting into Euro, Dollar or (Brazilian) Real.
It may be a coming trend that more precise figures are used in the sale of players as FFP starts to take hold.

Maybe we can get lukaku plus a few million more in exchange.

Bite their hands off at that price. He has failed to deliver this season and does not look up to it. We can do better.

Paulinho should not be sold imo first season with a world cup in his home land he hasnt done poorly hopefully we'll see more next season.

Got DL written all over it if it's true, nice little profit.....

If Hazard goes as expected to PSG i can see this happening. I would take anything above twenty five million for him and also consider Lukaku to Spurs in some sort of player plus cash deal .

 

[Jenko]

He will score a shitload if he goes to them and we'd all be crying. No no no, not to those walkers.

 

[Real_madyidd]

would replace lampard well.

Just fed up with Chelsea always signing our best players:Berbatov, Modric, Bale, they get them all.

I still think there's a player there and think in a 433, him, Sandro and Dembele could do serious damage with Adebeyor, Eriksen and lamela ahead of them.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Cannot see it happening. I think it's just lazy journalism.
Only way there would be remotely anything in this, is if we've enquired about Lukaku, maybe they'd counter enquire about Paulinho.
Personally I'd like to see Paulinho in a second season, maybe more fluent in the language and with a manager more tactically astute, we'd see even more from him, though his goals record has been ok for a player who has missed a fair bit of gametime through injury and then out of favour. For those questioning him, he is still a regular for Brazil, and it's not like they are scratching around for talent.
However, looking at the bigger picture, CM is probably our most overstocked position.
