I think that if that's possible, that's what will happen. Not a fan of Hulk myself but AVB clearly enjoyed working with him and he was pretty effective in the Porto team.

I remain unconvinced it is possible though. Unless the rumours of all these mahoosive wages the likes of Willian and Hulk were just palpable bollox. Depends just how unhappy Hulk is I guess. If he's willing to take a pretty significant drop in wages then maybe.

Well news is now just breaking that tonight we've agreed to sell Bale for £86m. Jason Burt is reporting it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...ve-from-Tottenham-Hotspur-to-Real-Madrid.html

I'm not great lover of Hulk either Mis and remain to be convinced he is worth the huge outlay but I'll trust AVB's judgement on this one.

It'll be fascinating to compare the squad we finished last season with to that of a week's time - we've come a long way baby!

I have to say Chadli has done nothing for me so far. Certainly nothing to suggest that he has already surpassed Aaron.

I agree Lennon is a very frustrating player. But we just seem a little more dynamic to me when he is playing, maybe its what he does when not on the ball. I wouldnt say there arent better options out there, but I dont think those options are currently at the club.

Pretty much this. He's earned that.

If the club can bring in someone in addition to Lamela then Lennon is likely offski.

I would say if it's Hulk then Lennon may go, if it's Eriksen then Siggy may go - that's my onion anyhoo.

I could murder a fag is also not an admission of a hate crime.

Burt has previously said that he hasn't had any information from AVB on the Bale deal so I wouldn't necessarily put too much weight behind it...

I can't say I've seen Hulk play very regularly, but I've seen him a few times and have often been completely wowed.

Hopefully he's not the Rebrov to Falcao's Shevchenko
