Leandro Damião

[Rmpr 8,977]

I can do that too, it's not too hard to pull off a rainbow flick... And it's not something he does normally. Berbatov is a lot more naturally talented, one of the classiest strikers going, while Damiao reminds me a bit of a donkey, frustrating player.

Yes, in my backyard I do this quite frequently, not agaist Argentina though (have to count the rivalry). He does this quite frequently, I can find about 10 different games he has done it.

I dont think Berbatov is one of the classiest strikers, not even close. This is what I would compare to rank him that high: Falcao, Cavani, Lewandoski, Huntelaar, RVP, Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko, Torres (Liverpool), Benzema, etc.

Damiao does look like a donky, lol. I dont rate him, it is clear reading my posts...

Btw, it was just a comparison to give an idea of what type of player he was. All I was saying is that he knows how to score (Berba), but he also has speed and ability (Hernandez). He can get the job done and has mobility, nothing special though. I wouldnt want any of the 3 in CFC, I want a top5 striker (Falcao, Cavani, Dzeko, etc).

When I say classy, I mean technique wise, how comfortable they are on the ball... Think Ibra, RVP... Not saying Berbatov is as good as them, no chance, but he is a lot more classy than Damaio, their first touch and control of the ball are miles apart. Damaio is more of a poacher whilst Berbatov can get involved in the build up and provide assists and goals.

I'd have him for £20million...But at the moment, I'd probably have any striker for £20million who can score goals. Age is on his side, So he'd be a good signing if bought. Not seen much of him, Apart from Youtube Videos which i won't judge a player on because youtube makes any player look good and him in the Olympic's which he seemed decent in!

[Kieran. 6,317]

Don't think this guy is that good, bring in Lewandowski and Huntelaar.

What country did he play for in the Euros?

Maybe he meant the olympics.

I know he meant the Olympics.

A penalty box poacher is exactly what we need, making front-post runs... not tarting about with his hairdo like a certain £50 million flop.

Damiao is very young still, so I'd not be comfortable declaring him average or barely good enough. I think right now is a very good player and certainly more skillful than Andy Carroll. He is confortable on the ball and can even dribble a bit, esp inside the box. He is not pacy like Neymar, but nowadays Torres is so slow that I don't think we'd lose much in speed department with Damiao.

I support Gremio (blue) down south in Brazil (it's the opposite there -- colder muddier in the south), and Inter are their arch rivals. I've watched (and suffered) from Damiao enough to know he is a handful.

It's all about the price though. He's certainly not worth 30 mil right now IMO.

As an Inter supporter from Porto Alegre, who actually sees him playing in the stands, i couldn't agree more. He won't ever be as great as someone like Ronaldo was, but given time to adapt to the EPL, he would probably be one of league's top scorers.

Certainly better than Torres.

That's cool! It's been over 15 years since I watched a Gre-nal, but I do try to watch a game when I visit.

Yeah lol, Just realized i put Euro's. I meant Olympics. My bad!

This is nosense, because Leandro Damiao is shit.

One of the worst strikets to wear brazilian #9 shirt. I really dont know why this guy is so overhyped.

Too much of an overreaction Henrique, but he is definetly not worthy of Brazilian #9 and he is extremely overhyped.

I think that is true, he does look slugish. He has more ability (tricks) than Berba though. Not that it counts in games and I would choose Berbatov any day of the week, but he does...

Probably going to leave Brazil in the summer, according to Internacionals president.

I wouldn't mind him here for anything under £15m, but I can't see that happening.

I say that first bit because, well, he does have potential - but it just looks like his ceiling isn't all that high. He reminds me a little of Adebayor. So he'd be a fine back-up or rotation option I'm sure.
