I went to watch FC Porto play Gil Vicente yesterday at the Estadio do Dragao. Porto won 3-1, but the game remphasized one thing: Hulk is by far and away one of the best players in the world. He is right up there with Messi, Ronaldo, Xavi etc... His display against Gil Vicente was phenomenal. He had a part to play in every single Porto goal: scored the first through a penalty, assisted on the second through a corner and scored the third on a free kick. It was more a less a one man show.
Will he be leaving Porto? I don't think so. His release clause is around 100 million euros, so unless somebody can produce that kind of money, he'll stay put. The rumour that Tottenham want to buy him therefore is complete rubbish, besides, I've decided that Harry Redknapp is a bargain hunter, who looks for Real Madrid and Man City rejects. So Hulk is not for him.
The compilation above shows just some of the Brazilian's skills (IT IS NOT MINE, I DID NOT MAKE IT). Even with the blow Porto suffered through the departure of Falcao for 40 million, Hulk I think can still take them to Portuguese Liga glory and beyond.
