xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Ramires rooting for Chelsea contract HulkVolante admits that the Blues are following the negotiations and said that for him, everything would already be solved.I am here in Brazil following the news about the likely signing of Hulk by Chelsea.I hope it comes really.I played with him in the Brazilian national team, were on opposite sides while I was at Benfica and, of course, would add much to the group.If you depend on my will already be all sorted - Ramires said.http://translate.goo...96.html&act=url Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Whether Hulk is world class or not, IMO he is the best right winger currently available and attainable for the club, and will improve our first team as we have no right winger as good as him in our squad.Therefore I am hoping the club can close this deal asap.

Kojo 4,676 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Aguero...he isnt bulky, but he can still outplay everyone in Epl...strange some Hulk wouldnt be able to...They are both same height though...Aguero is very strong actually, really underestimated, every english defender said they didn't realise how strong he was.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 150lbs? I don't believe that for a second. Where did you get that from?Soccernet has him at 68 KG which is 150 pounds. It's possible he weighs more. I have no idea. The point is that he's not some physical monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 What differences does it make how much he weighs... He is hench(hence the name)//// Would be a great signing. An out an out winger who could even play alongside torres.... Not really a drogba replacement as no one could ever replace the great man, but it is what torres needs....

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 We need class winger (not some young talent, we have Hazard), Hulk is class winger. Every class winger is around 30-40 mio (even Bilbao wants 30 for Muniain) End of story.If Hulk is not right for you or anyone else, no one will be. 25 is not old, he has creativity, team work (assists), goals, speed. strenght, aerial ability, long shots, short/long FKs. He likes to join Chelsea, is worker and can decide match.Some players are made to play in club better than at int level, england players are fine example. Epl suits Hulk very well, if Mata can outplay defenders, Hulk will do it with ease.Nowdays, ball control and speed are very important and Hulk is good at that. Plus we play counters and I can see Hulk easier to escape defenders than Lavezzi or Muniain.I didn't say that Hulk isn't right, I just said for the price we can get Muniain or Lavezzi for less than 38 million and they are both quality players. Muniain would be a long term investment. Hulk would be a good signing don't get me wrong, in fact an amazing signing for us, its just Muniain is going to be wanted by every big club in the next 2 or 3 years so we should really look to invest in him while hes cheaper than he probably will be and he is better than Malouda, Kalou and Danny. Tbh any good winger will do was just trying to put my opinion across... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 According to the UEFA Coefficients Portuguese teams are better than French.Yes, but that is based entirely on one club, Porto, having success in Europe. The French League is definitely deeper and more difficult to play in. Five champions in the last five seasons. Porto has lost one game in 2 years in Portugal. It's a league that is one dominant team, two or three decent teams, and most of the rest of the league would be in the first division in England. So, if you are a player for Marsaille or Lille or PSG, you have a much more difficult test than if you are coming from Porto. As for "I bet you've never seen Hulk play" crap, I've seen him play in about 20 games. He had excellent skills and is very tricky, but in this youtube/fifa12 world, Hulk has gone from being a very skilled winger with a great left foot to a "world-class player" without accomplishing anything. People are trying to make Hulk to be the exact player they want him to be. He isn't. He has some incredible skills, but he has real flaws too. He shoots way too much and from too far (he took way more shots than Sturridge did last year), he goes down very easily, he's suspect defensively, and he's unproven against good clubs. (And if you think he's going to physically dominate Premiership defenders, you're crazy) Yes, it's possible he'll come to Chelsea and turn into a dominant offensive force. It's absolutely a real possibility. But it's also a real possibility that he'll come to Chelsea and find that the speed, trickery, and power that he was able to use against Portuguese defenders is just not good enough to succeed in the Premiership. Considering that David Silva cost £24m two years ago and Mata cost £23.5m last season and they were both younger, more established, and played in a better league than Hulk, this talk of £38m seems ridiculous.

Jusek 2,031 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Porto's official website shows 180cm and 85kg. Looks pretty accurate imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you are a player for Marsaille or Lille or PSG, you have a much more difficult test than if you are coming from Porto.I agree and disagree, Portuguese teams have a good track record in the Europa League with the likes of Braga and such. It shows that even though France have a deeper league the quality of the teams who compete for Portugal are better and in terms of Hulk this applies. It is a good learning curve and nice to get the winning mentality and as Chelsea have proved players from Portugal can come into the Premier League and be successful.Porto's official website shows 180cm and 85kg. Looks pretty accurate imo.God bless WhoScored.com and their accurate facts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Soccernet has him at 68 KG which is 150 pounds. It's possible he weighs more. I have no idea. The point is that he's not some physical monster.No I understood your point, just the numbers didn't seem right. Power is a huge part of his game though, but not everything. He is rapidly quick as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
