He's had offers from China etc, you reckon they were offering 20k a week? No chance.

If he wanted money only, i'm sure he would have gone to those places.

He probably wants a mixture of things and as long as he's getting paid quite well won't be too bothered.

Meireles --> Fenerbahce

Zenit St Petersburg have confirmed the signing of highly-rated Brazilian Hulk from FC Porto on a five-year deal. More on site shortly.

Not much of a forward step.

Seriously?

Yea. Stupid and a waste.

That's a backwards step...

And they might sign Witsel for €40m

Oh gawd

That doesn't surprise me, unfortunately.

If Zenit signed Hulk for 50m euros, I wonder how much Falcao would cost.

Hulk's agent confirms that Zenit paid €60M to FC Porto.

I don't see why they're linked?

Rumoured to be finalising a deal for M'vila too. Zenit are famous for having racist fans aren't they?

Probably offered €30m for him

They refused to sign black players up to one point I believe

I don't think they've ever signed a black player. They certainly hadn't when Advocaat was manager.

Apparently the hottest topic among them now is deciding if Witsel and Hulk are "too black" to play for the club. In this case that means being darker than Bruno Alves.

Bunch of disgusting, idiotic morons.

That is absolutely horrible. Brave men signing for them.

More like stupid men, especially if it's money driven.

At certain point of this transfer window was reported that M'Vila cooled his interest on Zenit because he received threats from some Zenit's ultras.

Brave, yes. But, £100,000+ wages a week are bound to ease (some of) the pain from the abuse.

£100k a week doesn't help with the added pressure from your fans because of the colour of your skin. They have to hit the ground running.

That is very true. I just think that the potential money involved helps the players overlook the fact that the fans are racist pigs.

Fuck playing in a place where you receive death threats because of the colour of your skin. I don't think you could ever be comfortable.

Wow, what an incredibly stupid move by him... Of all the places, why would you go to Russia? Enjoy living among those racist vandals Hulk.

Not at all, what happens if you bang in a hattrick then opposition fans send death threats? Russia is awful
