Badboy 1,526 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Sloth there are players out there who are a lot more direct and have fantastic technical ability too. A player like Arda Turan (25) from Athetico Madrid or Eljero Elia, these players have a direct style and they are the type of wingers we should look at, not a second striker (Hulk) masquerading as a winger. I have had enough of this square pegs in round holes bullshit, the facts are anyone who has watched Hulk as much as I have will know that his qualities are suited to a second striker like a Tevez or Rooney. If we are going to buy wingers lets do it properly !!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hulk is a special one, i wonder what he would be like here.I don't think he would come here or be decent or average, i think he will be one of those who will end up amazing or turn out to be a flop.

I have watched Hulk not a lot of times though i'll admit i think he's a beast. But then again he might come here and be shit, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to buy wingers lets do it properly !!!!!!!!!!I do understand your angle of having very natural wingers; and yes I agree we have lacked that for sometime; Hulk was a stricker than converted winger so he make "lack" natuaral winger senses but hes also dubbed one of the best rw for a reason. He can do everything a natural winger can(yes he can pass unlike sturridge) + have his super hulk shots on goal from 23424242432432432.243242 km away coming in at blastoise speed of 3424324324324234324325423mph with a 90 degree curve. The fact that he has excellent techincal ability on that frame is what makes him so dam special. And whos to say hes our last winger we buy this summer!

Badboy 1,526 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I would prefer a more direct player. If we were to sign a second striker to play around our centre forward then I would be cool with Hulk but not as a bloody out and out wide player. I think its really hard to make it as a wide player in this league without pace, Hulk can run but he can't run away from a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I could see Hulk very dangerous, phsyically he could bully defenders on the wing, and knows how to cross a ball and pass a ball. Does he lack the creativity?, i do not know, i hope he comes here confident and dangerous and fucks up the other teams and tears every team a new arse hole.

I think its really hard to make it as a wide player in this league without pace, Hulk can run but he can't run away from a defender.if you think Hulk is like Teves or rooney you clearly didnt see enough of him.Hulk is one of the most "Direct Players" in the world. He score lots of goals in almost every way, and he can run the wingsand pass those wide crosses like everyone else. Hazard isnt better than him at this. I think you get the term "Direct player"wrong, because a player like Hulk is the defenetion of Direct. Same as Ronaldo for example. And it seems that you realy dont know him,your saying we need players with "pace and technical ability", with "with break away speed"... well, its kind a ironic, because Hulkis all of those things and in the very top level. All of those things you said- this is Hulk + he's goal scoring and shooting.And now i see again how you dont have a clue about him, saying "good passing". From all of those things you talked about, passingis the abillity that Hulk didnt got famous about.Dont take this in the wrong way, but your posts about him are kind a ridicilous. Its like i will start talking about Drogba as a soft player,Lamps as a player with horrible timing, JT as a player who lacks leadership abilities."Hulk can run but he can't run away from a defender" - LOLAlso the thing with Elia- player with "direct style"- and a player we should look at- absolutely priceless.Again, didnt wanted to be rude, but your posts are so far from being the truth.

Superblue 6,372 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think sturridge will leave in the summer. I just have this feeling with a year on his contract he'll move back to city for the right offer. Therefore i would see hulk as sturridge's replacement.If malouda and kalou leave aswell which is very possible we may yet buy another winger to complement marin and hulk. I wouldn't be adverse to elia for the right price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg 1,824 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Players from the Portugues League always succeeded at Chelsea , Hulk is a powerful striker , his is quick , can shoot , why can't he be a good , very good Chelsea player ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 There is one thing I am positive; When Porto played versus Barca in supercup, Hulk was best player on pitch along Messi. But Neymar...he wasnt even close to ball when Santos played against barca in world club cup.I am happy if this goes through, been a fan of Hulk for ages and I still dont get how he isnt playing more for brasil, now when Pato is injured...Hope this completes in this comming week and calms me down a bit. Hulk and Moutinho/Lucas would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I've stopped getting excited about these 'big names' ever since Torres arrived. Whether it's true or not, I reserve judgement on him till I see some substance and justification on the pitch. If I being frank, I'm more excited about Marin than Hulk.
