Porto's Hulk

[MidlandToon]

But you should know by now how tight MA is with money, any money we do spend will be on the Carroll sale and other outgoing players, Benny was signed for £5 mil and didn't spend a penny more (apart form loans) money and the money that comes in by being in the premier league won't make a blind bit of difference.

We can always hope. I do expect a budget of around £35-40m in the summer. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if we don't spend anywhere near that figure.

we were linked with him in the summer

hell of a player. we played porto in the champs league a couple of seasons ago and he gave our defenders a torrid time because hes so quick and strong and direct. he's added a lot of goals to his game recently too ive heard. dunno if the north would suit him though looking at this pic

Maybe you are a changed man after all

i've been bumping on about him for ages would love it if we signed him

The only problem i have these with kind of players is that they play in crap leagues and score a shed load of goals and they then come to a top league and 90% of the time they fail.

Jo scored 30 goals in 53 games and now look at him, one of the worst Brazilian players of all time and he's only 23!

But its not just him, the likes of Huntelaar, Kezman scored for fun and look what happened to them.

I think we should take these players with a pinch of salt and with today's inflated prices for players like these can easily backfire on us (like in the past) and we don't have a bottomless pit.

heard his release fee is really expensive i.e. over 35 million
would love him here but it just won't happen

Ronald Vargas. Cheaper and less prolific but I like him.
Only joking!!!

I'll love Hulk! He's the sort of striker which PL defenders wouldn't want to play against, he's got great pace, good agility, skill, finishing is top class, very direct, powerful and strong. Sort of striker we need, can do a bit of everything well and can add different dimensions to our general style of play.

But when he has gone up against PL defenders (mainly Arsenal and Man Utd's defence in the CL) he's been non-existent.
