francozola 2,040 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 We are not arsenal. Didi signed for us about the same age, was it worth it?I just meant that with hazard already signing for 30m do we need to splash out another 35m on hulk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's not really the price that bothers me but actually his age. He will be 26 if/when he signs for us. Would it be worth it?we wouldn't be able to recoup our transfer fee or make a profit in the future but i don't think Roman has ever been bothered by that..see Crespo,Shevchenko,Veron etc...

Henrique 9,133 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Agree with this honestly we should not of pain anything more then 12m for Lukaku. Hulk is still not worth anymore then 30m imo.I agree he is not worth it, but we made a lot of this kind of move in the past and we keep doing it. I think Mata was a perfect deal, if its real we paid 24m for him, we also paid 18m for Ramires.I thought Aguero wasnt worth 35m at that time, but City were rigth after all. Hulk can play in both wings and as a CF, I think he would made an instant impact here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hulk will hit the ground running. I expect him to score bags of goals in the EPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 If we don't buy Hulk would you guys stick with Marin/Ramires on the right or would you bring in someone else other than Hulk? Or would you buy a CM?4231-doesn't help Ramires!! Okay so 433- I would buy another cm who is dynamic like a jao moutinho. Although mostly defensive he can play b2b. Other winger like willian who can play RW or LW. Kinda loss for names tbh so in 433 Hazard - Torres - Marin Mata Ramires. Mikel Subs: KDB, Willian, Studge, lampard, romeu That team is missing one more ummph but I can't think who or what right now but real quality that is IF Marin/KDB can really step up big time!!

francozola 2,040 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Agreed. He is 26, too old for football at high level.Obviously I don't mean that, but my entire point is based on the fact that we are already going to spend 30-35m on Hazard. Hulk would only have 3-4 years in him before his abilities start deteriorating. By the way, have you followed him throughout his career? I know he's not been in the Brazilian leagues for a long time but have you watched him regularly? I saw that you have said many times that you believe he would succeed in the Prem.

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ivguesss in deep lying mid we're talking xabi Alonso who I would have loved, absolutely loved in this squad! Him or shweinstiger would be PERFECT, although bastian's record in major cup games scares me, always usually comes 2nd 3rd, idk probably just superstitious! If javi martinez is like next xabi then I would absolutely love it. That ability to throw long ball for mats or hazard to latch on like Alexandre song does for gunners would really really complement this team. Oh man I wish it was freakin June 15th cuz I know atleast one or two more deals should or will be done by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would we sign so many starting 11 players. VDV over Ivanovic? No reason to spend on Pereira as Cole still has a couple of seasons left in him and Bertrand is good enough to be played in 10-15 PL games ensuring some rest for Ashley.

Ibra11 11 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 To the guy that said hulks talent will start deteriorating in 3-4 year. your saying he is going downhill at age 29? Lol he will be at his peak until he is 31 Or 32. Besides 5 years of service will be more than worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol he will be at his peak until he is 31 Or 32. Besides 5 years of service will be more than worth it.The truth is no one really knows that. It depends on the player. I've seen Hulk a lot and I would give Porto 30-35m with my eyes closed. However, knowing what Porto are like they will want more than that. It gets to the stage where looking at other alternatives wouldn't be a bad idea.Antoine Griezmann is a cracking little player for Real Sociedad, who's release clause is around 25m euros, but will likely go for less than that. He is younger and has great potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I love all this talk about Hazard-Mata-Hulk, but what about defensive duties?Hazard-Mata-Ramires is more balanced for me, with Ramires playing on the wing where the opponents are most dangerous (in big games)My thoughts exactly. If we're to employ a 4-2-3-1 with three attacking minded midfielders, we'll have a huge gap between our defense and our attack. It may not be such a big problem against smaller sides, but certainly against bigger sides we'll need Ramires to cover that gap as a wide midfielder. And there's the issue of team chemistry.

Stats 7,156 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I really hope we get Hulk. I am sure he will be a terrific asset to the team, can shoot dribble and is a nightmare for defenders. He can easily adapt to the physicals of the Premier League and someone like him is who we are missing IMO. He was brilliant for Brazil in their last game. If Chelsea can pay £35 for Hazard we can do around the same for Hulk but no more than £40m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
