Will he get his chance?

Probably not...

president Pinto da Costa insists his stance over the Brazil international has not changed.

"I say today what I said a year ago, I will do everything to keep Hulk at Porto," he told Porto TV.

"I'm not interested in selling him.

"Hulk has a price and we are not going to negotiate and accept an inferior price to that of his clause, our desire is for him to be in our squad next season."

I know it's a real quote but try to steer clear of Crunchsports, horrible made up junk on that site.

Quote was made to Porto TV by the President. It is as legitimate as you can get.

I know but the site isn't. I used to check Crunch sports every day during the summer transfer window and I slowly realised it was all made up junk. Even the DailyMail is more reliable

Now people (i.e. the diehard Hulk supporters) are going to think the link is a lie and this thread will go another 10 pages before someone can find a link not from crunchsport.

For those people, I repeat:

The President of Porto, Pinto da Costa, said in an interview with Porto TV, that he will not sell Hulk unless we pay the release clause. He's not an 85 million pound player, pretty much no one except Messi and Ronaldo are.

I doubt he's as naive as he is making himself out to be. They are definitely going to sell him for less than his release clause. Anyone can see that he, and just about every footballer, is not worth that.

Here we go. The ol 'gentleman's agreement' comes in play

A 4-2-3-1 formation may be the making of him, but as mata's understudy in the central attacking position.

He wouldn't suit playing deeper.

It is probably so Hulk has to force the move. The porto president will know fans will be unhappy so if Hulk engineers the move himself the club saves face.

United are getting Kagawa, City are getting Hazard. We better get this beast.

Hulk said in that interview that it was entirely the clubs decision and he is happy at Porto because he has 4 years to run on his contract.

Chelsea are reported to have already wrapped up a deal that will see Porto striker Hulk arrive in the summer.

Mikel and Ramires would make the worst double pivot. Ramires is far to attack minded and Mikel isn't dynamic enough. Personally I would love to see Lampard and Moutinho in the pivot.

Yeah Mikel really struggled against xavi, iniesta and messi didn't he?!

His positional awareness has become very good over the last year or two and he's underrated by lots of chelsea fans because he doesn't do special things everytime with ball. He doesn't have to when he has lamps alongside him, mata in front and luiz behind. He's not the quickest but neither are scholes and carrick, or busquets, or alonso - he shouldn't be isolated in the team so that his pace becomes a serious issue.
