    Hasn't been released by Porto who has made the bid yet. Fishy to say the least.

    His buy out clause is for €100mil..

    So not even close enough!

    Got to be Chelsea if it's anyone. I was really hoping this would happen, Hulk is distinctly average but like many manager Villa Boas seems to like players he's worked with before.

    €80 million though? Mental.

    Also just to throw in, MCFC have confirmed a number of strikers for the Dublin Super Cup;

    Balotelli, Dzeko, Guidetti, Mancini plus AN Other

    He's not worth 20m. Mega overrated player.

    Anyone who believes this needs their heads examined.

    anything agents say = LIES

    Liverpool and Arsenal will be chuffed now though. Should be able to get €60m apiece for Ngog and Bendtner now.

    Lies, lies and more lies from his agent to talk up his client. Does anyone really think that if an offer of €80m came in for Hulk that he wouldn't be sold? Porto would accept half that.

    Would certainly have been my first reaction. Typical that it gets on to Sky though, they really are getting worse and worse

    The Porto chairman was very blunt about selling players after AVB left.

    "If the buyout clause is matched they can leave"

    Is Hulks clause €100m?

    What??? He definitely is. Look at the current market and he is a much better player than that henderson guy Liverpool bought or even Torres on current form.

    Certainly not worth 80m but a fantastic player all the same. Prob 18m is the offer and he is certainly worth that in today's market.

    ????
    Have you ever seen him play? He's far better than Bendtner. Just looking at wiki there and it sayes he scored 36 goals in 51 games last season. Bendtner has hardly scored 36 goals in his whole Arsenal career!

    Whilst on wiki look at his previous scoring exploits.

    Hes not very good tbh but if someone is willing to spend 80m.

    Liverpool just might be able to get £20m for Carroll too.

    :pac:

    That'll definitely be entertaining. Just hope he doesn't try any showboating.

    I think that's his son, he in our reserves but I thought he played in midfield.

    Doubt there's anything to this at all.

    Although it could be some Russian lot at it again! :pac:

    Most likely trying to engineer a move for him.

    Get some transfer speculation and push up his value.
