Rumoured Douglas Costa

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Calling it now, Douglas Costa to do an Odemwingie and park outside Stamford bridge on deadline day wanting to be let in. The guy seems legit desperate.

Really douglas coste is willian 2.0 ? of course no .. douglas costa is skills player very good player ....

Willian was much better at Shakhtar.

Douglas wouldn't be able to show his skills in EPL as he does in UPL.

Had a hard time trying to find stats for this guy, because of the league he plays in almost no one seems to record the assists. Well, I found on here http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/douglas-costa/leistungsdaten/spieler/75615/plus/?saison=2013that he apparently has 7 goals 14 assists in 39 appearances. That sounds alright to me! Don't know much about him obviously, but he's got to be an improvement on Salah at least.

Willian by contrast 4 goals 10 assists in 46 appearances according to the same website...

He's not better than Schurrle ffs.

He's not better than Schurrle ffs.

If he can control a football and dribble past a defender, then he is. He doesn't inspire confidence though

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

That words he said for Globo Esporte last night. You'd think the interview was done with some former Shakhtar player, not an actual player.

He agrees that his time at Shakhtar has come to and end he is so confident that a move to Chelsea will eventually happen anytime soon.

He's not better than Schurrle ffs.

And Schurrle wasn't better than Sturridge.

Maybe one day we will reach the end of this road and get a decent wing again.

Sturridge is better than Schurrle on the wing?

[iseah100 5,612]

LOL ok

[Thor 2,690]

Sturridge is better than Schurrle on the wing?

What makes Schurrle so great on the wing for us?

Dude takes more shots than Sturridge ever did, and breaks down great plays at times, just to have a ping at goal. Of course he'll score a couple if he takes as many shots as he does.

He is not great but he is also not absolutely terrible either. Why on Earth did you start comparing him to a ST in Sturridge?

Probably because Sturridge was as much as frustrating to watch as Andre is atm.

I am pretty certain now that our "interest" in Douglas was just to get fans to, not only accept, but be begging for the Cuadrado transfer to happen!

The change of attitude towards that has changed drastically since this rumor came up.

Douglas will be devastated though

Don't really care about him if he keeps on playing well sooner or later a team like Spurs might come in for him and that would be his chance. If this crushes him mentally then he shows he is not that good of a player anyway and weak willed.
