Wishlist Hulk

Ouch. Why sign Schurrle then? Isn't midfield a bigger priority?

[Leif 6,006]

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.

May be that's just a beginning...

‘If I said there wasn’t anything in it, I would be lying. But that is not for now. At the moment, I am 100 per cent focused on the Selecao (Portuguese for the Brazil team), and I hope to be a Confederations Cup winner with my country'

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!

[IliyaDamyanov 43]

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

Was he specifically asked about Chelsea's interest ? Maybe the question was something else.

[Leif 6,006]

Well I couldn't complain about:-

Cavani

Hazard, Mata, Hulk

And I think anyone who would is spoilt

He'd instantly bring the physicality we sometimes miss. Although not a great tackler he loves to get stuck in and win the ball back. Sorta like Rooney.

Like the look of that.

Just have to hope we act quickly on Cavani. City are obviously trying to get their deals in place ASAP and we should as well.

[Sheva. 5,373]

I don't think we can get Cavani if Hulk is signed. Schurrle is pretty much a done deal for 20m, add Hulk and De Rossi to that and we're looking at close to 70m on those 3 players, which is not bad at all. I don't know the clubs budget, but an additional 50m+ for Cavani seems too much, so we might be getting a cheaper alternative in Dzeko or Gomez - which again is not bad at all, since they're upgrades over our current options.

It really seems true I cant see us getting both cavani and him!

I could. Two very different players, dont think hulk would be bought with the CF role in mind

[Special Juan 27,439]

Interesting comments, a really up and down summer ahead.

[GermanBlue 82]

He might just wants to focus a move. Doesn't seem to be happy at Zenit.

[nono 791]

Hopefully this is just nonsense. Don't see what purpose Hulk would serve here. Price is crazy too. Why would we spend 35 million pounds on him when we got a younger and better player in Hazard cheaper?

[ChelseaSyd 0]

I would love him to come to us he is taylor made for premiership very, very, strong, very ,very, skillfull scores goals Yes please.

[Yeboii 1,844]

Might want to put this into the Hulk thread mate. Welcome to the forum

because hazard plays LW and Hulk RW ?!

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

Cavani

Hazard Mata Hulk

Lampard De Rossi

whaaaa that team sheet would scare every opponent to death. would be the alleged 100m spent on on "two or three players" (Gourlay)... nice investment, would most probably get us the EPL-title + make us genuine CL contenders again.
