From a while back:

"I would be lying if I said no proposals have emerged to sign Hulk," Fonseca told Portuguese newspaper Record.
"I think the highest bid was 80 million, but Porto did not even want to negotiate."

Good be just agent talk but if true we aint signing Hulk

 

[Dan Ashcroft]

really? cant say i have seen enough of him to form a real opinion, although i would take Ronnie Rosenthal right now :grin:

Yeah. Falcao is definitely the good one. The Shevchenko to Hulk's Rebrov.

I actually think Varela (Porto's left forward; Falcao is central, Hulk right) is better than Hulk

 

[tony_parkes]

He's powerful and direct, but a poor footballer. A bit Ronnie Rosenthal or Ryan Babel.

even in portugal neither of the above mentioned players would have come close to scoring and assisting more than 20 goals, nevermind 57.

are you really saying hulk is no better than ronnie or babel?

have a word with yourself, son.

 

[mil1lion]

He aint worth twice the price of Modric though, that's for sure.

 

[bilburger]

I think some of the fuss regarding Hulk is down to his super cool name. Admit it - if he signed you'd just have to have 'HULK' on the back of your shirt. If he was called Garcia or Lopez or Martinez he'd be worth a fraction of his reported fee.

 

[Hot-Spur]

Does Hulk have a first name or is he just Hulk? :lol:

I concur.

His real name is Bruce Banner. He's only called Hulk when he's angry. Unfortunately this is almost inevitably followed by a red card due to referees not liking him when he is angry.

It's a tragic tale really.

hulk stuff can go into his thread

Maybe if we advertised our players as:

POINTY SHOUTY BLOKE
3m Peter
GIOronimo
SPECIALACIOS
McHUTTON

We might actually attract interest and sell them?

[faze_coys]

lol Hulk is accountable for probably over 50% of falcaos goals this season.

LMAO at comparing him to babel.

 

[Twizzle]

mate of mine who is a mad Bayern fan says we have been linked to Lucas Podolski in the German media

Can't remember when I see his name I just lose interest, Italy might have been one.
