Wishlist Hulk

[HNKS 508]

Why would Hulk agree to this??? Seems pointless.

Fair play to Porto, not so sure about Hulk though... if he wants to prove he's world class he needs to be in a more competitive league.

[Atwa 78]

So stupid.

I hate deals that clearly is all about the money, Hulk will never get the recognition he deserves in Russia.

[Jype 6,398]

You payed 35 million euros for Mata and dont like Hulk..Huh?

Mata was like 25m euros and Hulk was what, 60m€ according to his agent? Also Mata's wages were around 60k when he signed but Hulk would have demanded close to 150k immediately. That makes Hulk easily over twice as expensive as Mata. And if I'm reading your signals right, you're saying Mata is shit and Hulk is like the second coming of Pelé or something? GTFO.

I don't see the attraction of going to Turkey or Russia. The money may be there but the leagues aren't the best. Also Russia is Freeeeezing in winter!

Anyway good luck to him. Porto must be fucking loaded.

Speculation over.

[HRiver 1,512]

His career will be wasted there. The Russian league is nowhere near compared to the rest of the elite competitions in Europe. Couldn't he go to a more cold, depressing country? Probably it's a great country to live in, but football seems so depressing in that country. What a stupid man.

Porto is biggest money making machine in the world of football. I doubt they spent 50mio in past ten years for their best players, and probably sold them for 250mio+

Good to be their chairman.

Finally this can be closed!

Hope he enjoys his stay in the wilderness!

Woman ain't bad there tho

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

So this guy decided to carry his career to grave, his decision

[FL8 4]

A bit shocking, to make such move while being so young. I can understand Eto'o, Roberto Carlos or some other older players (such as Drogba on our site), but not guy in top form and age.

[didierforever 7,349]

what an idiot.

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

What it comes down to is that Porto viewed Hulk as a super-star and (rightly) no major clubs did. Zenit was willing to overpay so Porto took the money.

[FL8 4]

I was just thinking now, that he possible gone to Zenit, because money that they gave for him were literally to huge to refuse. I heard somewhere, that going to St. Petersburg was far from Hulk's dreams, but Porto pushed him out and took some serious cash.

P.S. They also bought few minutes ago Witsel. They both went for 40 m. Euros. Maybe Zenit took a challenge from Andzi to try to conquer Europe with some huge investments...

Edit:

Hulk's words: "I wasn't expecting this. I had no reasons to leave, but my agent called me and told that FC Porto and Zenit have reached a deal."

[J.F. 1,484]

Big muscle - small brain.

Best Russian club, St. Petersburg is a nice city, top payed footballer in the World, in the Champions League sure Russian League is a side step but I'd say Zenith is a more ambitious team than Porto.

No one would turn it down unless, it's a guy like Navas who has mental issues about going outside of Spain.

[Badboy 1,526]

Typical dumb third world striker like Asamoah Gyan. How the hell do you ruin your career like that at 25 with a 5 year deal the clown, this is what pisses me off with these fucking idiots. How many of them play in eastern Europe and when they want to leave like Willian they can't because the dumb fucks don't realize that they have signed long term deals.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

I wasn't expecting this. I had no reasons to leave, but my agent informed me FC Porto and Zenit have reached a deal

Russia is hardly his ideal scenario it seems. Oh well, I'm sure all that money will soften the blow somewhat.

[Ollie 4,400]

Some players care only about earning huge amounts of money. Football is secondary.
