Rumoured Douglas Costa

[Stats 7,054]

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

And the level of inferiority compared to the teams they play compare to who we played, it is a massive difference.

[marketing media pet 27]

bayern are so dumb, 35 mill for this clown ?

Rather buy de bruyne or draxler even if it cost more... (or even firmino)

Douglas Costa: Left-footed player.

Draxler, KDB and Firminho: Right-footed players.

Maybe has has something we dont see lol. But I think theyre using him to lower the price of a certain player.

[termninja 5,290]

Why surprised? Bayern are left with no real star wingers anymore as Robbery are having fitness issues and are not getting any younger.

As wingers in today's market seem to be a rare luxury signing Costa is a great business for them.

Done.

Douglas Costa is set to join #FCBayern Munich, #Shakhtar Donetsk boss Mircea Lucescu confirmed on Friday. (ESPN)

Good, another bullet dodged.

[Pizy 18,368]

Reminds me of the Lucas Moura situation. Brazilian who goes to a stacked club and is in and out of the team. Will show flashes of brilliance but not live up to the hype or fee.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Good move for him, he'll be surrounded by good players and will have many chances to play with Robbery's injury problems.

I'm shocked Bayern of all clubs are willing to pay €35 mil for Costa. That puts him in their top three of their most expensive signings, behind Gotze and Javi Martinez. Quite the investment for them. I think he's a good player but I don't think he can live up to the new Ribery/Robben talk. I don't even think he's good enough to be starter for an elite club like Bayern. It will be interesting to see how he does. They did need a player of his profile so that's a plus.

This does show all the great wide men are settled or ridiculously expensive (in general or compared to their status and ability).

What does chelsea and bayern see in him what we dont?

Because the player we bought instead of Douglas Costa (and for a similar price) has done brilliantly here so far .

Having another bad one is twice as bad.

I don't think that there was ever the 'danger' of us buying Douglas Costa once we had Cuadrado; it was a choice between one or the other in January, and we chose the Colombian. Let's just hope that it pays off for us in the long term.

[robsblubot 3,504]

There is not much of a long term for Cuadrado as he is 27 and should be at his best. They are both insufficient players, but Costa is younger.

Douglas Costa was the worst player on the pitch against Paraguay for me. Subbing Willian for Costa ruined Brazil midfield, but that's the current crop of managers we've got.

His pace was the only thing that looked to cause danger for Paraguay when he came on.

Alves getting skinned by Benitez all night, and Filipe luis getting owned all the way to the track before the cross looked much worse than anything he did outside of that god awful penalty.
