Rumoured Douglas Costa

[Sheva. 5,373]

Willian was arguably the 2nd best player for Brasil last night, according to many, and also been included in the first round XI. Mentioning Fred and Willian in the same sentence is odd, especially if you saw yesterday's match.

I watched the game from minute 7 (after it was already 1-1) to the end.

Being the 2nd best Brazil player doesn't mean much with the average lineup they had out there. The most notable thing he did (apart from when he humiliated some guy) was an outside of the foot pass to Neymar, who fired wide from outside the box. While the others did fuck all.

sheva is a good poster but he hates on Willian all the time

Not all the time lol, i think he's a decent player, but not 'un-droppable' at a big club.

I'd rather just keep Cuadrado, he deserves at least one full season to show his abilities

#FCBayern is interested in Douglas Costa, who currently plays for #Shakhtar as well as the Brazilian national team. (via @DiMarzio)

He'll be another Shaqiri.

If Salah and Cuadrado are to leave and we can't get Griezmann we should sign this fella. He would fit well with the squad and bring something we wouldn't have that particular scenario.

Looks like he's off to Bayern

We just dodged the bullet. Thank fuck.

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Bet everyone wants him here now

But.... but.... weren't we all told a few months ago that he was the sort of player ('mediocre Brazilian from a joke of a league') that no genuine top-tier team in Europe would ever consider buying, even as a squad option .

Still, with the fee reported to be around £27m, Bayern are taking a huge gamble.

They will once he proves he's a top 10 winger. He's brilliant and those who've seen him enough shouldn't feel shy about saying so.

Would be funny as fuck if he becomes one of Bayern's best player next season and Cuadrado continues his flop form for us. Will teach all of us a painful lesson of never judging a book by its cover I am sure everyone and even the club thought Cuadrado is the better player 6 months ago...

[Mechromancer 262]

He's not Bernardo Silva, mate.

In the current market, he could be a decent back up for Robben at RW. They had to bring someone when Robben is injured so much and Ribery looks like he's done. they're in a real problem.

I dont think Costa could be a star in Bayern, they'll probably look to add more wingers next summer or even now.

If they realy sign him for the reported fee, no way is he going to squad option. Either a starter or Robben eventual replacement.

'Eventual replacement' depends on how he'll preform, hard to believe Pep looked at Costa and said "Thats Robben's successor". I think Bayern are in such a need of cover for Ribery/Robben, that they had to act even in those prices,

when it seems like every AM costs 30m euros and more. With the very few available wingers in the market, Costa is a decent option, but surely he wasnt the 1st choice. Reports saying they were interested in Sterling, Griezmann and Di Maria,

probably they didnt want to spend so much on the first two, and Di Maria seems like staying put. For now they'll probably stay with Muller, Gotze and Costa... we'll see about the future.

We're in the same boat, although we're not desprete for wingers like them (because Ribery and Robben are injured so much).

It won't prove anything if he becomes star at Bayern, They have such a great team, they make Pizarro scores for fun.

Shaqiri #2.
