Rumoured Douglas Costa

[Polo7 3,496]

From Barca's bench?

Yeah I know him!

Don't understand why we are going for average players.

And then we end up saying we suck because we have not great squad.

Hello? Stop throwing money away on average players!

No one is going to disagree with this. The arguments will only start when it comes to assessing who's average and who isn't.

I'll let @didierforever, answer that for you.

Enough with the Brazilians. There are only two Brazilians worth buying in the worst era of Brazilian football and that's Neymar and coutinho. The rest can kick rocks.

Felipe Anderson and Firmino over the inconsistent and overrated Coutinho anyday.

We need another attacking threat, someone that can distract the opposition's defenders and give Hazard a bit more space to weave his magic..not fucking Douglas Costa, he's Willian 2.0

If Jose actually wants to sign Douglas Costa then there is something wrong with him

1st criteria: Track back skill-check

2nd criteria: Pace-check

These are 2 criteria that Jose mostly use to sign attacking players I would imagine

how is he Willian 2.0? he doesnt play like Willian, he is more like a faster, more agile and more skillful version of Hulk

Weak at shit probably. I wouldn't compare Hulk to him. Both be left footed and Brazilian are the only similarities.

Surely this has to be some kind of joke?

no they have a similar style of playing

[LAM09 6,777]

no they have a similar style of playing

From what I have seen of both, I can't concur.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

While we are at it, throw 50m on Hulk too. Maybe it will work who knows...

[dUMB 189]

From Barca?

lol, please no

[iseah100 5,612]

lol, please no

Why not?

No thank you. There are enough water-carriers in this team. Though, Mr. Mourinho probably disagrees with me.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Mourinho wants a defensive right winger who will cover for ivanovic.

Only Arda Turan is better than Willian /Douglas costa for this role that I can remember of

[ulvhedin 508]

little bit offtopic for Shakhtar followers - how is Alex Teixera doing this season?

This!

We have too much attacking players that can't produce something big in attacking third. Like Oscar, WIllian and Ramires when he plays right winger role.

I was really pleased when we signed Cuadrado because he can offer something like Hazard on the left wing. He has very good dribbling skills, he is fast, he can beat opponents 1on1 ... but Mourinho wants everybody except Hazard and Costa to track back and play in back line. So he prefers Willian or Ramires on right wing because they run a lot but they can't produce something big in attacking third !

I would love to see Cuadrado playing or if we go for Pedro in the summer ... but what is the point? Mourinho would play Willian or Ramires over him anyway :/

I love attacking football so IMO we need better nr.10 and right winger (or play Cuadrado!). But with Mou we need some more defensive midfielders to play nr.10 and right winger
