blue_swaggin_96 96 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't want Hulk here but if he signs, I will support him 100% and hope he scores one billion goals in his debut. If he was a traditional winger and not an inside foward, this guy would be on the top of my wishlist.Here is what I think of him:He is strong but not as strong as everyone believes he is. His name gives people the wrong idea but I reckon he would be on par with Cristiano Ronaldo with strength - who is in fact quite strong.He is poor in the air, being not all that tall and has a poor jump.His shot is inredibly powerful.He isn't a great penalty taker, he just kind of thrashes the ball in the hopes that he doesn't go over the net.His dribbling is very nice and he is good a beating other players.He dives a lot.He is fast.Shoot first, pass later. Like Sturridge but a bit less frustrating.He doesn't provide width, cutting inside to shoot a lot.He might open up a market in Japan, due to his four years as a player there.the fact that you put in all this work means you will have alot of people to agree with you! ive watched hulk for awhile in portuguse league, his nothing to what your saying, his team player and camparing him to sturridge is laughable in the highest order!have your say tho!

Spike 12,049 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 the fact that you put in all this work means you will have alot of people to agree with you! ive watched hulk for awhile in portuguse league, his nothing to what your saying, his team player and camparing him to sturridge is laughable in the highest order!have your say tho!That is why I said he was similar Sturridge, not exactly the same. Hulk will pass the ball hence his high assist stat, but given the oppurunity Hulk would rather shoot than pass. Besides in the Portugeuse leage Porto dominate the fuck out of the opposition and make a lot of chances per game, much, much more than Chelsea do. Since Porto makes more chances, Hulk gets more chances to shoot and pass hence the reason he has a high goal and assist tally.I bet you if Hulk signs for Chelsea he will be equally as frustrating as Sturridge.On another note since everything I've said about Hulk is wrong, I suppose he isn't: a good dribbler, fast, strong, a powerful shooter. If he isn't those things, than what the hell is he? He sure as hell isn't a fleet footed player like Marin or Hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I watched him at Man City for Porto last season and i thought he was actually pretty good, just the rest of the team were shit and City won comfortably. Hulk showed some very nice touches, he's quite nippy for a big guy and has a lot of ability and pace. This was all coming from the right side. I think he will be used on the right as we dont actually have a natural right sided player. All of our 'number 10's' are left wingers except Oscar so we need someone who knows how to play there. If you're good enough, it won't matter if you're predictable. Cristiano Ronaldo was a right winger at Man Utd then they turned him into a striker. At Real Madrid he's a left winger and despite being very right footed, he's still very hard to stop. Ronaldo does try n use his left on occasion, Hulk should try more to use his right. Football is changing so much now tho. It used to be the right footers on the right and the left footers on the left and their jobs were to run down the touch line and put crosses over. Now it's the complete opposite. I would like to see more interchanging going on, making it hard for defenders to settle. If we got Hulk and had him and Hazard on each flank, i'd love to see them swap positions every 20 mins or so to give defenders nightmares. What we could do with however, is a natural wide man that can use both feet instead of being predictable. It doesn't matter what side you play, if the defender knows your stronger foot, you will always be predictable. Nobody is as predictable as Robben tho...

blue_swaggin_96 96 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 the only reason hulk would be perfect fit for us is !we have small pacey place running behind him( if torres lacks and he ends up playing CF) he will be able to hold up the ball and force his way in against defenders ( you saw what lakaku did to carragher @ harthrone.i just think if we want to push for the glory this season or move far in cl, we need this big fella to hold the ball up similar to what OUR HERO in munich did for us!i feel were lacking that present with torres ( unless we get llorente ) then hulk is perfect match ( we all know his not a natural winger but he can play ther as well) DEAR FOOTBALL GODS!

The Rising Sun 711 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 haha wrote long post and somehow while i was not in the text box, backspace got pressed and it loaded the previous page.Now i dont want to write again.dont porto need reinforcements if hulk is to go? If so, they arent dipping in to the market.After sooooo long, howcome Chelsea have not lodged an official bid of any sort? Porto are legally required to tell announce any bids.Forget what newspapers report, as UK sports newspapers serve up an entirely new level of garbage when it comes to transfer speculation, prices of players etc.Whats up?

Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Wasn't a huge fan of this at first, but its definately growing on me, he offers a lot and has said he wants to come here, also we seem to have a position where no-one is really working... Hazard did well against wigan though he wasn't exactly playing RW... And i have seen him play twice i think at striker and although he hasn't been overly impressive he provides an alternative backup as he is someone who could go there if need be. If he doesn't come then i am totally fine with it as the likes of Marin and Oscar we get bigger roles this season which will be great, however if he does come then i will be 100% behind him... And the price is too high if we are looking at value though you don't become a multi billionaire by being an idiot and roman knows what he is doing so that is fine by me... Also we would regain about 10% back due to shirt sales probably, especially in the far east where the name Hulk is extremely marketable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
