Agent bullshit? Who are the other clubs? Who could afford him? He'll cost £30M or so (they haven't a mission of getting the 85M buy out clause).
Will be all agent talk but the clubs will be United, City, Arsenal and Crawley Town. If not Crawley maybe Spurs. Cannot see us interesting him in the slightest
You would have to suspect that Man City and Man Utd would be two of them. Then it would be two of Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool or possibly QPR. IMO, they're the only sides that could splash that sort of money. Not sure about Newcastle but I don't think Mike Ashley would sanction it. Hulk won't join anyone that isn't in the CL so that rules out Tottenahm, Liverpool, QPR and Newcastle anyway. I don't think Arsenal would spend that sort of money. Man Utd and Man City both want Hazard (as do Chelsea) so would any of them try and get both...? Signing both would be a £120m+ commitment (fees and wages)!
In that case he's probably worth as much as Everton. Yeh I'm struggling to think of 4 clubs that could sign him or want him. I've never seen him play well in the CL, always tries a trick too many.
Realistically, there's interest from City and Chelsea and the 'other clubs' are just made up to spark interest. No one else, not even United, would spend 35mill (I think they want 40mill) for him
in the end it is agent talk... he is saying straight to chelsea just make the offer and we'll sign cos we want you but you have to offer the right money... and if some other club jumps in fine we'll show you the bid.
I'd suspect there are foreign clubs interested such as PSG, Malaga, the Russians, Juventus maybe (not sure if they have that sort of cash), etc. Can't see there being five (including Chelsea) in England. Two or three maybe, but not five!
City will sign at least 2 strikers this summer. At least to replace Teves, maybe Dzeko, and maybe even a third to replace Ballotelli. But imagine this attack at Chelsea. -Marin-Mata-Hulk- ------Torres------ If Torres stays and re-finds his form...
Indeed ... You can say that about city too. -Hazard-Silva-Hulk- -------Aguero------ This is why it's important for united to improve in the summer if they want to carry on fighting it out with city Ps - not sure if hazard plays there so I just put him there :L
But no need to worry. City and Chelsea will be quacking in the boots now that this has had a year to gel. -Suarez-------Downing- --------Carroll---------- One thing I hate is players having nick names on there shirts. I think Hernandez having the translation of little pea is embarassing, I'd never allow that if I was his manager. I suppose Hulk is famous as Hulk though.
Although thats looks rather tasty, it wouldn't offer much in the air so teams would defend in numbers (otherwise known as 'park the bus') in an attempt to minimise their chances. Least with the Chelsea version, Torres is good in the air too.
Three months ago I would have 100% agreed that Tevez would be leaving but I don't see it now, I think he will stay. Balotelli will remain too IMO. I reckon Dzeko will go back to Germany. Hazard will join them this summer, if they Hulk as well then I'd expect a winger/attacking midfielder to leave too.
The funniest thing about the Hulk to Chelsea rumours, is that they think he's a better alternative to Hazzard since they feel the latter is just a greedy, money grabbing mercenary. Hilarious stuff from the Chelsea boys, Hazzard would fit in perfectly.
