Aren't his problems in Russia mainly to do with the disgusting abuse he has to put up with from his own fans?

Aren't his problems in Russia mainly to do with the disgusting abuse he has to put up with from his own fans?
No thanks. Corntrao would never come, that midfield lacks creativity and is spread too thin, and Lemela/Hulk play the same position.
En route to coffee, might make your lineup look better and I won't be a dick about it
Now that I've thought about it, I'd only like us to sign Hulk because then it would be an excuse to get his name on the back of a shirt.
I would buy that shirt, but I don't want Hulk anymore.
Overrated and fucking expensive.
"NEXT!"
Yes, a fair point. Absolutely. His wages did cause some rifts within the squad though. Which isn't his fault though. So I guess my point is moot.
EDIT: However, I do prefer Lamela for reasons listed above if we have to pick! Obviously, Hulk would be a stellar signing, I'm not an idiot. But to me, Lamela fits the mould better! I am a bit biased as a mate of mine is an avid Roma fan, so I've seen (and heard) quite a bit of Lamela and my mate is not happy with him possibly leaving!
Take the big money, cop the fall out: Only difference is that their fans are not overly friendly with persons from minority cultures
No.
That was the case. Denisov was the instigator. Zenit sold Denisov and now everything's fine.
Care to elaborate more?
Hulk's ability is incredible. I don't think his move to Russia has been great for him for whatever reason(s). I think Hulk at Spurs, under AVB would be back to his best. The issue though is going to be his cost (both the fee and the wages) and the fact that Chelski or Manure or even Woolwich would likely be interested too.
He doesn't get abused. Well, not any more than let's say Shirokov... Or Kerzhakov.
PS. Zenit fans are a strange bunch... They obviously have a large number of racists amongst them, yet, i was watching Zenit play the other day and they were all (the whole stadium) singing Witsel's name and stuff... And, as you may know, Witsel isn't really white...

So the letter from the fans telling zenit to sell all their black players didn't exist?
I didn't say that.
Your comment seemed to make out that every single Zenit fan loved their black players.
That's not the case, they get horrendous abuse home and away.

, I erased my original reply. I really don't want to have a discussion where i am forced to defend Zenit fans. Especially with a person whose opinion on the matter is based mostly on hearsay.
Your original suggestion was...

. They seem to be familiar with the Russian Premier League.
Let's leave it at that.

... wrong. His problems in Russia have nothing to do with racism.

I'm not forcing you to do anything mate. The racial anise in the Russian league is rather well documented. It's not just a matter of hearsay (awful band)
