    Fee Agreed with Brazilian

    Big bucks, for a big fella.

    Overrated imo, £38m a tad staggering.

    Chelsea holding no punches early on in the transfer market eh?

    Chelsea are assembling the avengers?.

    This cant be good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,979 ✭✭✭Vurnon San Benito


    The other shocking thing about that article is the fact Samuel Eto'o takes home €423,000 a week after tax. Lord above!

    Don't rate him as much as Chelsea obviously do. Hugely overrated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,992 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Going by the posts in this thread Hulk is underrated by many.

    Hulk is one of those who is getting underrated due to his getting overrated. A reverse Lee Carsely, if you will.

    Chelsea starting to look like they can challenge the Manchester clubs.

    We will all find out next season.
    Cant be any worse than Torres

    Hulk got 36 goals in 56 games. Bargain if he does only half that plus the assists!
    We paid 50 million for a player who hasnt even reached double figures in 1 and half years and who is under big big pressure to lead the line next season surrounded by probably 100 million of talent to help him!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,258 ✭✭✭MUSEIST


    Yes 38 mill is way over the top and IMO very few players are worth that but chelsea clearly want him.
    I am delighted that chelsea are addressing the lack of creativity in the squad with hazard, marin and the hulk:pac: so maybe we will be more entertaining next season.

    LOL. Hazard is costing 79 million over the 5 years.

    And I'm not jealous really considering Man Utd have more dignity than Chelsea.

    123 million pounds for 3 players ye've bought in the squad. No excuses for not winning trophies in fairness.

    No offence now but Utd have bought plenty of leagues themselves.Dignity would not be one of MUFC'S strong points to be fair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,183 ✭✭✭UnknownSpecies


    I wouldn't call £38million for 18 goals good value....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Could be a good buy for them. I'm just glad they didn't get Falcao. A front three of Mata-Falcao-Hazard would be sensational. Dunno if the Hulk is as good. We'll see.

    79 million is a journos fantasy - no body knows the true figures. Could be more or less

    And yes, Buck clearly said the club wouldl be taking steps to make sure we finish 6th and I reckon we are not done yet.

    Oh and that dignity you are talking about - you would have paid the same fee for Hazard as ourselves and City. Your personal terms wouldnt have been too far off either. Rooney also held you to ransom and you coughed up
    Dignified like!

    His name adds £15m to his valuation. If my name was Hulk I'd have gone for £50m

    Man Utd wouldn't pay more than 130k a week, and wouldn't pay the 6 million pound agent fee, so yeah. It would have been a lot less.

    Also Rooney was proven as one of the worlds top players.

    How about this one then, a measely 78 million pounds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,627 ✭✭✭Sgt Pepper 64


    Bargain - reduced down from 100 mill - over half price - must be bank holiday sales!

    Nice work Roman ;)

    Now Modric for 20mill and we are pretty much done!

    I think it suits him better than you though. You're a bit too tall and skinny for it. At least he has the muscles to back the name up.

    They've bought players yes, with money they've won and through their fan base.

    When was the last time Utd bought a player who wasn't proven, for a mammoth anount of money and who earned the same as established world class players.

    Rubbish. Barca have a bigger wage bill than any other sports organization on the planet and have spent ****loads on transfers in the last 7 years.

    Wouldn't like him when he's angry.
    He really should green up for every match, would be intimidating.

    Maybe I will when I play him.
