I still think this would be a great signing for us, squad depth-wise and physicality-wise.

AS Monaco target Hulk is apparently close to a 40m move to Chelsea. Zenit have quoted 47m but it looks like #ASM will lose out.

For a second I thought FFW = Fat French Waiter. :blink:

Schurlle can play right side also, so spending a supposed half of what Hulk would cost on Schurlle makes great sense, couple with Schurlle can play left side also I can handle that. Use the supposed 15-20M saving on someone like De Rossi, who wouldn't cost all that and all of a sudden we have a shape and options.

I think he's good and under the correct guidance he can become great.

A bit of an odd comparison perhaps, but when you look at his strengths (long shots, pace, strength, power in all aspects of his play, decent dribbling) he draws comparison to C. Ronaldo. They have similar weaknesses too - Selfish, often make bad judgements (more so Hulk), lack a good defensive contribution, often try too much etc. (Oh and they're also hit-and-miss from set pieces the both of them.)

I feel though that after coaching Ronaldo, Mourinho could really polish Hulk and he could be for us what he was for Porto. This would hopefully translate to the national team too. I always like to see Brazil do well.

He has everything I believe we need for the right hand side and like Ronaldo or Hazard (in time) would be a genuine goal threat when our striker is misfiring.

This is the exact translation of what he said in Portuguese. However, somehow, Daily Fail transformed it into Hulk's confession that Mourinho bid 40mi pounds on him! :doh:

maybe the idea is :

----Torres ? / Ba ? / Lukaku ? / ?---
Hazard/Scurlee--Mata/Oscar--Hulk/Ramires
----Oscar/Lampard -- New DM ? / Essien / Romeu----
4-2-3-1

or

Mata/Scurlee - Torres/Ba/Lukaku/ ? - Hulk/Hazard
Oscar - Essien/Romeu/ New DM - Ramires/Lampard
4-3-3
