Schürrle has looked awful every time I have watched. A poor mans Robben.

I would much rather we looked at buying a deeplying playmaker.

This. He's so crap its unreal, don't see what people see in him, poor mans Kalou. Happiest story i read today was the Dortmund owner saying his going nowhere no matter what we offer


Agree - CM should be our main priority

firstly . why do you care what roman spends on our players ? is it because you have fallen for the arsenal way of thinking that success is not about trophys but having a good business ?

Why not hulk and why Schurlle both unproven in the prem and from what i have seen hulk has the ability to tunr a game in an instant whilst schurrle looks like a white kalou.

since when is 26 old ?

hes quick powerful and skillfull surely the type of player we want at the club ?

Oscar
I may not be this board favourite poster, but one thing i know for sure Roman want keep buying all the time. Having opportunity to spend money doesn't mean we should spend it lavishly. We have Eden, Marin, Mata, Oscar there is Ramires all can change game because they won't all start at once. Keeping in mind wage cap should our priority now. Bar Hazard, i don't think any of our new players including Ramires is above £70k. I am more on sustainability of the club not what Arsenal fans think

Hulk yes please!!

Its not permanently limiting yourself.... its about value for money. Hulk is not worth 35-40 million. That amount should get u a player who is world class or known to be one of the best in the positiin he plays in. Hulk is neither.

Schurrle is just kalou ver 2.0 and paying 25 million for that is just plain stupid. Remember we got oscar for that

Gazza it's not the fee that is the issue per se, it's what else you could do with it.

Value for money is common sense.

Wtf

Hulk s resale value= goals for atleast 5yrs,

How much did we spend on the drog, was you questioning that too,

You angry he went in a free transfer ain't you,

But look what he left us with,

Another legend for us if hulk signs, instant hit with fans,

There are certain players who don't need to fetch a resale value,

Hulk is nowhere near that good LO

He is tbk, jus give him a yr to settle and we have one hell if a player, don't even think he would need that long to settle,

He is the pacey, direct, powerful striker we need,

I really hope this happens, we must buy hulk,

Gazza - Common sense would be not ti spend 100m on a single player who is not even that great. You could probably buy a decent RW, CM and RB for that money.

Gazza that is essentially still valuing the player as the club expect X player to fulfil Y role in such an such a way. Otherwise all alternatives to Hulk will also be valued equally.

Also your example is completely unrealistic.

TBK, Sturridge won't make the team whether we sign Hulk, no need to underrate him. and Drogs wasn't that good when he joined too, in fact Hulk is better than Drogba was when he first joined.

LegendOsgood, exactly

sign him up

LegendOsgood,

Rarely has a above 25 year old big money sigbing ever suceeded. The resale value is in this if he flops we are stuck with him somewhat like torres. If he was younger we could still sell him for a decent fee hence cutting oue losses

Eh am slightly, baffled am certain that even if we have overpaid in some occasions we ain't gonna be paying 100mil for hulk that.would jus be silly but anything below 40mil would be good business,

Hulk is also a brand,

posted on 21/8/12

Exactly MrFrowney, so why should I care? I want what's best for Chelsea, not Sturridge. Torres was also better than Drogba was when he first came as was Shevchenko - your point?

On what basis are people assuming that Hulk is a great player? Yes, he does bang in a lot of goals for Porto in the Portuguese League which actually is not a big deal even AVB did well there.......

I have never seen him perform in the CL when the opposition are a bit more tougher and he was so bad for Brazil that they dropped him from the first team after 2 games....

I think most people are just fascinated by the name and would like to get the kit as it sounds awesome....
