Wishlist Hulk

[headhunter23 70]

yeah torres isnt weak, studge is pretty strong/fast/physical plus mikel/lamps in the mid are always rocks we dont need rugby sized athletes lol, our back 4 aside from ash are all big men too, I am quite content with this team, i mean im indifferent to getting anymore signings

This is spot on. I don't understand why people are adamant we need Hulk for physical strength in our attack as if his strength alone would make some kind of enormous power surge whenever going forward. Of course it would be a good thing to have up top or out on the right wing but it isn't as if Hazard or KDB are weak and don't possess any strength at all.

Not only that but strength from a winger is a very very small part of their game. When you talk about the importance of strength, you're almost always talking about a striker, a central defender, or maybe a defensive midfielder. Hulk has many other skills that make him a very good winger, but I don't care much about his strength.

Of course I didn't mean to single out his strength to seem as if it were his only attribute, he has quite good feet with a ridiculously venomous shot plus pace and impact ability. I agree with you his strength isn't necessarily that important when playing wing though maybe it does help a lot if he were to play striker for us!

For one, even if we tried to bring him here, I don't think he would want to join or that Arse would sell him for something reasonable.

That aside, yes the season behind him is spectacular. Seasons before that? Not so much. He will be 29 when the new season starts. With his injury record that doesn't sound convincing. We would be stuck with an injury prone player on high wages that would give us 1 or 2 good years if he stayed fit.

Van Persie is a striker. Yes, he can play on the wing, but it's stupid bringing a striker to play on the wing position with what I mentioned above.

Hulk would bring a new dimension into our team. Van Persie would just score goals and give Eva more work.

dude the persie comment was not literal but just for y not this player too if we want that one. the main argument was the squad as i see it right now and it seems a young squad with the right amount of experience and one which can win the league. might even challenge for the defence of cl but i simply cannt see that happen without dd or someone good enough to replace him which is definitely not hulk. so i dont really see y we need a 40m hulk.

I would like a strong winger tbh, someone who can speed down the line and not get brushed off the ball and can give full backs a hard time. I feel as tho Chamberlain will be very Hulk like in the future. He's an exceptional talent.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Bale would be second realistic option to Hulk, not Schurle, Moses or Willian.

I would be equaly happy with either, but as character I like Hulk more. Anyway, Bale has speed, crossing, some strenght and height, he would fit here too. But spurs wont sell him anyday to us...Unless we make 50£ mio bid...

[Ollie 4,400]

Bale has a great shot too and FK and could get you 10 goals a season plus but seriously, AVB selling Bale to us? i think not.

Hulk is great in so many ways and would suit the prem but it's all gone quiet.

Hulk would be very useful for his long range shooting, especially in the games we can't break the opposition down.

Agree, his individual skills are what we realy need (plan B ), not just his strenght. Guy can decide game on his own, if Mata and Hazard cant pass to Torres, no one will score, but Hulk can with his speed, shots,...I dont think Willian or Schurle are capable to score when its needed, but Hulk is. Also, his experience would play big role in attack too, and still has all time to improve further in PL.

Unfortunely, Bale signed four year extention, Modric will leave and AVB wont sell him to us, unless we pay more than 50mio£.

I realy hate all the GOOD wingers are so expensive or unavailable; Hulk, Bale, James, Reus,...

Schurle, Willian are no where near them I think.

I am still not convinced with Torres but it is evident that the club has decided to give him 1 more season to prove what he can do. We also have Sturridge and Lukaku competing for striker position and I can't see any Drogba replacements coming in at the moment.

At the moment, our right wing doesn't have a player which prefers to play there. Malouda is on the exit doors, Marin will needs time to adapt and hasn't been really impressive at Werder for some time while Mata and Hazard will occupy the left and central attacking positions. KDB may go out on loan, but even if he stays, he prefers to play in the middle and on the left. From here, you can see that we could really use a player who can cause havoc on the right wing and for the reasons I wrote couple of posts back, Hulk is the best player for that.

He is expensive, but we are rich and the transfer is dragging on since the club is not letting Porto milk us anymore while they are playing hardball. Remember what happened when we signed David Luiz. At a certain point it looked we turned away and negotiations broke down, but in the end Benfica had to lower their price and we signed him.

dude the persie comment was not literal but just for y not this player too if we want that one.

Read this.

All the talk of Hulk being a physical threat is nonsense, Moses is much much better at using his strength to keep the ball. Against City in both legs of the Europa League last season he didn't exactly use his so called "strength" very well, he was being knocked off the ball very easily and was diving as well. I think if we want a winger we should look at their speed, crossing and dribbling abilities rather than how strong they are.

[Hutcho 8,443]

I love the idea of our team having a big physical presence, though realistically, we need arial threats, which we have, ivanovic and terry are very useful from set pieces, and torres although he is no drogba in power wise still is 6ft and can be useful target upfront. Also with the fact that the refs seem to whistle if you breath on someone would make nimble players even more useful, when we play teams like stoke which will try and intimidate our great attack physically. I am very much for Hulk coming but just saying it isn't just because of his physical strength. He has a great record as well. Yes its in a weaker league though as i have said before he can only play against what is put in front of him, and a chance in the big leagues could rrally make him into an amazing player.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

I think it was always Hazard or Hulk for us and since we've signed the former for 32m,its time we forget about Hulk and look for other wingers who will cost less than 25m.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

I know that with Oscar getting closer it looks like we're not going to get Hulk, but who exactly supposed to play starting RW?

KDB? a player who got loaned last season, i realy dont think RDM want him to be first choise that quick. Ramires? doubt it. Who else?

Lets say we realy want Wilian, but he's an LW. How many LW's can we have in the starting line up...

You could say we can play: Mata-Oscar-Hazard. But its stupid, Mata and Hazard are far better at LW/CAM than RW.

So i still think it make sense that we'll get Hulk, or other very good RW... and no, not Moses etc...
