Hence why we need quality wingers to deliver accurate crosses into the box for hi. That was the mistake wenger made with chamahk who is very similar to Falcao

Fixed All of these players are overpriced imho.

I can't see the club selling him for any price

You are absolutely right. He has poor shooting accuracy yet managed to score 35 goals last season. :goodpost:

Last 2 season's evidence proves the contrary. Otherwise it would also be fair to say "kaka is still pure class for Ozil" or "Robinho is still pure class for Lucas"

I know the news is likely a drivel but who wouldn't be happy with such a deal logically speaking?

Now let's calm down on the exaggerated valuation. not even Maldini or baresi, two of the greatest defenders in football history are worth that much. considering we already have 3 CB's vying for the same posiiton in Alex,Ivanovic and JT. it wouldn't be bad business to trade him for Tiago plus £15m imho

porto in their right mind wouldn't trade their best striker for torres. if it can/does happen, I had be over the moon though.

I agree. sheva played better than el nino but was only a victim of his hefty price tag and was held to the highest standards imaginable and also given his age and the fact that he was past his prime. The same cannot be said of Torres who has shown no quality close to the level of second rated strikers such as Odewinge, Gyan,DJ Campbell, wellbeck and sturridge for the past 2 seasons.

Now I beleive that some players will live through their respective careers being underrated and underappreciated. Hulk falls into that category. A player that was central to porto's success last season and achived the third highest assists in whole of europe last season behind Ozil and Messi, scoring 35 goals, surely must be a world class player. not only is he built for the epl, he also possess a combination of pace,skill, finesse and football intelligence. I would gladly trade Anelka,Malouda,Zhirkov,Kalou and Ferreira for his services. yes he's that good

No I wound't beleive it unless you have a supernatural ability to see into the future and make accurate predictions. if that's the case, you wouldn't mind telling me the winning lottery numbers for this weekend. do you There are no guarantees in life and there's no indication to suggest he will come ut firing on all cylinders next season

If we get a winger. either one of (Hulk,mata or adam johnson) then Falcao's signing will make alot of sense as he's a player that needs accurate crosses into the box in order to flourish. plus there's no indication to suggest that Torres would overturn his form for the past two seasons.

AC milan fans said the same about Ronaldinho and Robinho.

Sorry but I didn't see the other two names being linked to us in that article

Hulk is well worth the risk of losing Sturridge.

I promise to never get excited over any chelsea transfer news again until it's officially confirmed. I'm done with this ****

here we go again. Hiddink vs Turkey FA rendition pt 2. pffffft

GBAM +1

But then again it's the same skysports that announced redknapp to become our new manager. I don't even know who or what to beleive these days

:D On a serious note. how dare you attempt to ruin the celebration

hell yeah. I will be over the moon if this happens and please AVB bring Hulk with you.

Like you said, fingers crossed

Yer he might have done it with PSV in the past but are you confident he would/can repeat the same feat at a club like ours? where the "untouchable" culture/politics reigns supreme and strongly supported by the board of directors. I wouldn't put my mortgage on it.

Even if he brings flair players in. would he play these flair players ahead of lampard,essien et al and does he have the balls to bench these "untouchables" when they underperform/hit a bad run of form? also will his team set up and selection depend solely on experience rather than quality and merit?. If Hiddink can respond positively to these questions then we might just be treated to mouth watering display of football next season. The only 3 managers I have seen done something similar are ferguson, Loius van gaal and wenger.

All indication points to a rendition of last season. don't get your hopes high
