Bleacher Report has Chelsea in for Falcao for 42M. That's the player they should be going after instead of Hulk.

On the surface, 42 EUR makes no sense since they paid 40 EUR to get him from Porto; but if that is the value that is placed on him for a swap involving Torres (any type of deal involving Torres would stun me) then he's a Blue.

I don't see Atleti taking back Torres in exchange for Falcao. I guess it could happen, though. Atleti has a sizable debt, and since the team did not make the Champions League, they will be short cash next year. Falcao or Adrian would be the players to sell if the team needed to make money.

Vinho Tinto is right: 42 EUR would be cheap since Atleti got him for 40.

That is an exciting rumor, the newest is Jovetic.Joevtic is 23, Falcao 26, both would be in their primes and good to add to the under 30 solid group already being formed:

Ivanovich
Luiz
Cahill
Bertrand
Romeu
Mikel
Ramires
Mata
Marin
Sturridge(real unsure on this one still)

to go with some youngsters on the fringe: Courtois, De Bruyne, McEachran, Lukaku, Kakuta, Kalas, Bruma,Lalkovic

One encouraging factor from Di Matteo was that he relied more on the players in their 20s than those in their 30s when compared to Ancelotti or even AVB, that said, if he doesn't win on Saturday I dont think he will be back. His early League form(when we were trying) wasn't great and then he just sacrificed the rest of the fixtures to focus all attention on the two cups. Bruce Buck already came out and said 6th place is unacceptable, so Saturday is a big day for Robbie.
