There is a difference in looking bulky like Hulk and having great body strength like Didier. Plus if Hulk has great upper body strength like Drogba how come he got bullied by Micah Richards in the Europa League PLUS he was basically ineffective for both legs apart from the assist for Varela.

Well they can eat shit then. Cheaper alternatives out there than Hulk.

Fuck 38 million for Hulk, 10-15 million for Dzagoev = bargain, sign him up Roman!

Don't they realize that 38 million is fucking enough anyway!!!

Talk sport reported that Porto are set to offer him a new contract so hmmm we are fucked if we dont get a move on, still think the deals long gone now.

De Bruyne is not a replacement for Frank. Plus De Bruyne is likely to play wide...

If we are going to get someone to replace Frank, we need to find a homegrown player, or the new Frank Lampard.

Deal looks dead tbh. Fuck it 39 million for Hulk = too much, have it.

If they get Thiago Silva that will be a big big big coup for them, can see them looking at Pato too. If they get any of them two it will show they are able to compete with clubs like Barca, Real, ourselves, and City for top players.

Isn't he not 21/22 now? If he was really as good as he was meant to be he'd have got a look in, wouldn't matter who the manager was or what other players we had. Sell him and insert a buy-back clause for like 4 or 5 million, then we can do a Barca and steal players when they start performing good

Very very sad to see, RIP Manuel Preciado

Adidas looks like they have nailed it so far with our kits, if they use that black and yellow kit for the third one they have totally destroyed it though

They are gonna have to offload someone tbh, they have Pizzaro coming in as a back up striker and Shaqiri from Basel who is a winger so possibly one of Ribery/Robben/Muller will go if he is to get games or they will loan him out.

Xavi wasn't really noticed as much as he is now until Guardiola took over at Barca. He wasn't seen as the majestic lynch pin for Barca that he is now, it was usually Deco or Ronaldinho under Rikjaard. There was even talk of him being offloaded to Man United like 6 years ago.

Hes over hyped a bit but still has good potential, wait until he is 21 or 22 then we can consider if he has been wasted or not.

Bayern and Inter Milan are reportedly in talks over a deal for him... well thats a rumor I seen on twitter! Looked into it a bit and found a few sources this is one of them, well an interview with Muller about the speculation. http://www.teamstats...nter-hint/77191 Oddly enough it says he scored against Bayern but we all know he scored against us Still Champions of Europe, enough said!

Ballack as well, he wasn't a Mourinho signing. Mourinho's tactics in his first 2 years when he was here were the best for us imo, solid defence and a lightning quick, efficient attacking group. Yes maybe I'd prefer to see a bit of attacking flair here and there but still efficient counter attacking football is better than tika taka without scoring.

Possibly but not for 40 million. Maybe for 4 then we have a deal.

Why are we considering Modric for a potential 30-40 million when Cabaye had an equally good/better season than him and is well cheaper. Seriously guys!

Yes but he would stick to his philosophy, you don't change your philosophy to suit a club. You make the club suit your philosophy.

I didn't say that Hulk isn't right, I just said for the price we can get Muniain or Lavezzi for less than 38 million and they are both quality players. Muniain would be a long term investment. Hulk would be a good signing don't get me wrong, in fact an amazing signing for us, its just Muniain is going to be wanted by every big club in the next 2 or 3 years so we should really look to invest in him while hes cheaper than he probably will be and he is better than Malouda, Kalou and Danny. Tbh any good winger will do was just trying to put my opinion across...

Ibra and Robinho were worth 30 million though (still can't believe how good Robinho was to start off with for City then how he faded was mental), Hulk convinces me of someone who could be an amazing addition its just Porto are being arsewipes and wanting 38 million for him. Muniain could be a better long term option as he is young and if he doesn't adapt straight away he wont end up wasting money for someone who is more or less in their prime. Plus his release clause is what 30 million? Fuck letting Real/Barca getting him.

Why are we going to pay 38 million to Porto when we could get this guy for 30 million and he has potential to be AMAZING.... as good a signing Hulk would be imagine Mata - Hazard - Muniain in the same attacking midfield area.

Everyday since the CL final I think Robbie's chances of being appointed as the manager have deteriorated sadly. Roman as well all know wants the big names, Mourinho, Scolari, Hiddink, Ancelotti and even Villas-Boas(not as big a name) after the reputation he gained with that season at Porto, all prove that. Guardiola could be next but I doubt it will happen tbh.

Cristiano Ronaldo, he is basically the complete player.
