Hulk is at Porto, and happens to be overrated crap.
Hulk is an hoax. Ok, has some talent, but most of it is not enough for a senior League like the Premier League. The same for La Liga and Calcio. If you see him playing against ultra defensive teams of the Portuguese First League, you'll be amazed, he's fast, strong, and with very good feet variations. But against the strongest teams like Sporting, Braga or Benfica, mostly Benfica, he did nothing. During his suspension, his substitute, Silvestre Varela, had much better stats in every aspect... and scored a lot more.
Mentally he's very unstable, last season assaulted a steward in Benfica's stadium (fc porto lost 1-0), ended up with 3 month suspension, later reduced to 3 games (thanks to fc porto mobster president...).
I'll say he's worth no more than £5M.
fc porto best striker is Radamel Falcao, a very good FW. Not tall (1,74cm), but with amazing jump ability, very good head, top speed, he's very efficient, needs just one or two shots to score. He had a step into Benfica, but fc porto president offered a doubled salary (€100.000,00/month, when he already had everyting settled with Benfica). We refused to change the agreement, for a question of principle, he ended in fc porto, Oscar Cardozo and Saviola both continued has a start-up.
Unfortunatelly for them in fcp, their last great FW was Lisandro Lopez, Lyon's FW since 2009.
If you want to buy fc porto players with seal of quality, there's just two right now: Raul Meireles, midfielder (rumors has it he's on his way to Chelsea) or Bruno Alves, centre-back. The rest of the team is just allright.
If you want Braga's players, the first one that comes in mind is Eduardo, a terrific goalkeeper. Why didn't Benfica bought him? Well, fc porto is allied with Braga's president against Benfica, to block the market. £3/4M would be enough to sign him. We ended paying the double to Atletico de Madrid for Roberto, some like £6.8M. Eduardo is a top goalkeeper. The other Braga's players are Márcio Mossoró, a brasillian with a very good technique, has experiente in the Portuguese League for a few years, not very strong fisically, I guess he would be fine for a medium team in the top Championships, and Moisés, a very good CD, looks just like Lucio.
If you want Sporting players, just forget it. They don't have a single player who could start as a team's first choice in Benfica. Just sold João Moutinho (team's captain, had a feud with manager Costinha and Sporting president) to fc porto for €10M + 30% of future fee transfer. Let's establish an anology: Imagine if Chelsea sold Lampard to Man Utd for hal his price. Same crap.
