    Just seen on the blues chronicle Twitter that AVB said in a portugese press event

    Dan Levene ‏@BluesChronicle
    Some stunning AVB quotes coming out of Portugal today. Taster: "Surely there will be a place to fill and I see room for a player like Hulk."

    Move out the way Torres, another flop is taking your place (i joke i joke)

    Thoughts?

    Depends on the price but Hulk would be a great signing in my view. Looks made for the P.L and would be perfect fit for us.

    Maybe even the best player out there we could realistically attract.

    I'd only want Hulk if we got rid of Drog AND Torres, it would mean seeing Sturridge through the middle and Hulk and Mata either side. What a combo :)

    This with Lucas behind would be an amazing attack force.

    If this is true--I like the sound of it! But Drogs wants another year and he must get it! I always reckon our squad should allow competition for places, so Bring on Hulk!

    £84 million release clause ?????/ Will we never learn ??? Van Persie wouldn't cost that much, and is a rock solid ,proven PL player. Time to stop paying stupid money for players developed by other clubs.
    If he comes for £30 mill, I'm all for it, but PLEEEESE no more overpriced "superstars", they destroy all the harmony in a club.
    Why are we buying all these not inexpensive youngsters and never catching a glimpse of them ??
    Is there a long term plan to win things in 2017 , that we should know about ???????

    I have to go along with this! I somehow think RA will not be forking out big bucks any more! I cant see any other clubs paying that sort of money apart from possibly the Chinese! So its off to China or stay where you are for Hulk!

    Odds most of you have seen hulk play more than a few times? Long shot imo. So you cant pass opinion. I have no idea how good he is. He has looked awful the 10ish times I have seen him but maybe he just had bad games.

    "I see room for an explosive player on the wing, someone who is strong in one-on-one situations and Hulk fits that profile," said Villas-Boas. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17185843

    Have to agree with Villas-Boas what we need is a strong winger with pace which will enable Sturridge to play in the middle. Hulk is a versatile right winger who likes to cut in on his left foot, he has pace to beat his man, strength to out muscle players and he has a box of tricks. Givanildo Vieira de Souza is nicknamed the Hulk because of his physique and presence on the pitch. Last year under AVB at FC Porto Hulk scored 36 goals and 21 assists in all competitions. This season he has scored 12 goals and has 11 assists in 26 appearances in all competitions.

    Whether you like it or not, AVB played with Hulk for a season and won the quadruple. I think he does know what he's talking about with the Porto players.

    I completely agree. We don't need Hulk, but we do need a left sided midfielder.

    I'd disagree with you partly there and say we really could do with a strong pacey right winger if that's the way AVB is going to play.

    Two wide players<ok>

    Mata plays far better in and advance midfield role.

    IMO of course<ok>

    Actually AVB said "And Hulk fits that profile" he did not say like Hulk. His actual quote is better than the comment you posted.

    I don't think he'll come, i'm sure he'd want to play in the Champions League.

    Maybe he would rather play in the Championship under Hughesy.

    Agent H is doing a great job taking Rangers in that direction, since Chelsea battered Rangers in the Cup.

    April 29 could be the day we secure CL footie and QPR secure Championship footie

    Agent H ? We were doing just as badly with Warnock. Face it, you're finishing 5th at best <ok>

    You have not won a game since you lost to Chelsea. You lost momentum that day. 15k crowd.

    Hughes needed to win that game to get the fans behind him

    He won't be doing that with Porto or QPR
