Wishlist Hulk

[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.

[Wise 45]

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.

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 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...

[Pizy 18,897]

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

I'm pretty confident with this squad being much better than last season's, but do we honestly think we've improved enough to make up 25 points or whatever it was? There's still work to be done in terms of signings. 2-3 more additions and 2-3 more departures, hopefully.

Just can't imagine we'll be seeing Malouda in a blue shirt come the season opener. He's one who must go. Yossi and possibly Essien too.

[Rahul Haque 57]

no point in selling essien. he's not worth much and he still has the potential of another 'great' season.

As much as I'd love this, I just don't think it's likely at all. We're absolutely loaded in midfield, and with Oscar seeming likely, don't see how he'd get much if any game time. Lamps, Meireles, Romeu, Mikel, Ramires, and maybe Oscar. Who's he going to displace?

[Cz4rny1337 24]

Too much hype about him. Last season he score 21 goals for Porto, but 9 from pen's and 2 from FK's. 21 - 11 its only 10 goals from game. He is not worth that reported 40m pounds.

Plus if board think he can be back-up striker - imo it's bad idea.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If we dont get Hulk, get some proper player then; Schurle, Willian or Moses are not.

Bale, James, Ayew, Lucas, Di Maria,...

He played better with Falcao, after columbian left, Porto couldnt find proper replacement and Hulk was their main striker, winger, assistant,...

[Cz4rny1337 24]

Yes i know, but that season with Falcao in squad and AVB on the bench was simply amazing, and I think it was probably the best season in his life. That woulnd happen again.

I don't like Schurrle idea [just give Sturridge new contract], maybe Willian? Price around 21~m, if not him, who?

My dream is James Rodriguez from Porto, if we want spend big on Porto player - he is the best choice. Hulk deliver goal [goal or assist] for team every 95 minutes, young James do it every 90 minutes.

[HNKS 508]

This Hulk saga has really started to bore me. I just hope we have a proper winger before the end of the transfer window.

welcome to tc mate

if you think hulk is not the man we should sign, who should it be? there are so few quality wingers available in the market and to get Hulk we have to pay.

I write above - If we want splash money [but its look like board don't want him] James Rodriguez. If not Willian [i think, i don't watch him many times] should be good at right wing.

Even Theo for 15m.
