He plays like Adam Johnson, except stronger, faster, and with the most powerful shot I've seen from a winger not named Robben.
It is impossible to knock this guy off the ball, his legs are like tree trunks. He can batter opposing players with his physicality. Here is him abusing David Luiz with power and speed @ 0:32:

This is why I think he would do great in the EPL, really strong where most brazilians are weak physically and fall over too easily.
I reakon him and Sanchez would be tops.

I think id rather see him keep playing in the middle if he wears the city shirt. What are your opinions on this?
I would imagine his best role may be kinda how Tevez plays central and behind a front striker like Dzeko or Balo. In other words he would be a great Tevez replacement and I feel he would hit the ground running like Suarez has.

jjeangi said:But fact of the matter is, when tevez was scoring for us the most, he was slotted at CF.
If dzeko and balo don't put out id hope hulk plays in the middle alongside sanchez and mata. One can dream.
Yeah thats fair enough too... dreams are free haha.

He has a great shot and can beat defenders by outpacing or outmuscling them (and the Portuguese league does have some great defenders, i.e. Coentrao, David Luiz before January). In theory he has all the necessary attributes to succeed in the English game. If we do go for him and use him on the right of a front three we will still need a pacy winger like Sanchez who can whip in a cross for Dzeko though.
That's assuming Dzeko isn't a bust. If dzeko still can't score, throw Hulk in the middle and have Sanchez on the right.Across For Law said:He has a great shot and can beat defenders by outpacing or outmuscling them (and the Portuguese league does have some great defenders, i.e. Coentrao, David Luiz before January).
