Rumoured Douglas Costa

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Can i ask how many times you've seen him play?

Haha you caught me! only a handful but trust me my man my gut instinct is stronger than any poster with thousand of minutes of watching him play

[Daniel1980 1,425]

I hope it's BS. A few of my coworkers who watch the Ukrainian league told me that he's a very frustrating, inconsistent player: can have one brilliant game and be shit for a month.

I even checked out the biggest Russian sports site(there are lots of football fans from Ukraine there too) and pretty much everyone agreed this guy was worse than Willian (my Russian isn't that good, but that was pretty clear).

I REALY hope Shakhtar wont drop from that 40m asking price, because that would mean we wont go after him.

I rather pay that 35m clause for Cuadrado than 10m for this guy.

The worst thing is...Arsenal rejected the chance to sign Douglas Costa on loan because they felt they had enough lightweight attacking midfield options

I just don't understand this potential transfer....he's not better than Schurrle and based on his records, he doesn't score many goals

Now watch us seriously regret settling for this kid when one of our direct rivals like City or United sign Cuadrado in the summer.

Replacing a player we had with a lesser player. Obviously I'll support him if we sign him and hope for the best but this would be the least excited I'll be for a signing in as long as I can remember.

I'd rather just keep André honestly.

Let's just hope this is just like the Guarin rumors that popped up last January window. All signs were pointing to us signing him and then out of nowhere we snatched Matic. I can only pray a similar thing happens again.

If Schurrle goes - then were getting Cuadrado and NOT Costa.

If Salah goes - then were getting one of them.

This is due to Champions League. Cuadrado can play, but Costa not.

But i REALLY hope Schurrle and Salah goes and we buy Cuadrado AND Costa(for the right price of course) If we must pay Cuadrados clause its not the worse.. But if Shaktar want more than 20£m for Costa, its a no go.

Chelsea are maintaining negotiations with #Shakhtar for Douglas Costa & have offered £18.7m. Enner Valencia is a back-up option. (Mail) #CFC

Schurrle is expected to join #Wolfsburg this week, while #ASRoma hope to agreed Mohamed Salah's loan ahead of Real Sociedad. #CFC (Mail)

Listening to Wenger, it sounds as if they rejected all world-class players at one time or another. What they thought is irrelevant.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

We will be ''negotiating'' with Shakhtar until Fiorentina drops their price for Cuadrado

[MuzzaFuzza 4]

Another terrible signing by Mourinho. we desperately need another defender not another Willian. we will be fine with willian and Schurrle for the rest of season, there is no need to buy this crap and sell him next year just like Salah. I'm tired of Mourinho.

If they both go, itll be Costa and Cuadrado (or another in)

WHU just bought Valencia for 15 million Euros, he would be expensive as hell. Decent player though.

I don't really know this Costa guy but I hope we won't miss out on Cuadrado.

Think West Ham would accept a bid for the amount they paid. They've no funds this window, hence going for Fletcher on loan. Undecided on Valencia, looks good at WHU, but that's a different animal altogether

Fletcher's contract with United is expiring this summer. So, West Ham will be getting him without having to pay anything - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/west-ham/11367946/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Darren-Fletcher-expected-to-leave-Old-Trafford-and-sign-for-West-Ham-United.html
