DYC. 7,542 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Rather take a gamble with talents like Firmino, Fekir or Ferreira-Carrasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Err, I don't know much about him, but if Jose believe he will be a good buy, then I trust him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,586 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Err, I don't know much about him, but if Jose believe he will be a good buy, then I trust him.The same was said of Cuadrado.Last year we did good in buys, but in 2015 so far we have done nothing good.Is this turning to a hit and miss thing with the club and Mourinho?

We brought him when he was underperforming in Serie A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Think he was an option due to an urgent need in January. Doubt he'd ever be considered again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosuke Aizen 46 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 @LeifIt's not so much that he's bad rather it's about him being not very good. Think of Willian of 1st half of the season. Now, Douglas would be half that player. Player of this caliber is not even going to improve our bench let alone our starting XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabHazard 655 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 this has cuadrado/marin/salah written all over it...he will struggle to adapt and he is not good enough for chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 what exactly is bad about the player? Not enough goals (we need another goalscorer in our XI besides Hazard and Costa IMO), assists, inconsistent, volatile displays, not as good as Willian or Oscar, not decisive enough. Just another skillful, flair player but we have that already. Yes, he has good long range shooting and takes nice free-kicks and If we didn't have Willian, it could make sense. I'm not surprised many fans are underwhelmed after strong Griezmann rumours. In general, i'm kind of underwhelmed with our activity so far. I was expecting 1 or 2 world class signings and 1 or two academy players pushing on for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It would be disaster and I'll be so sad if he moves here. Now there's time to make final step with highest quality player and imagine ending up with 25 yo old Douglas Costa, who so far has played only in Ukraine ...Sterling, Di Maria, Fekir, Griezmann I think every one of them is attainable with right money, which club have at the moment. Chelsea need 3 starting quality players and a couple of squad options, if they can't add according quality for each position then leave this for next year and don't settle AGAIN with CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Well I'm still confused, actually what is his natural position? AMC or winger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Well I'm still confused, actually what is his natural position? AMC or winger?RW, he's also a lefty.My feeling is that Costa will be better than the other wingers we tried (Salah, Cuadrado, Schurlle..)I think he should be our last option, after Griezmann, Reus, Di Maria (cech deal?), Fekir and maybe Sterling (depends on his price).

Don't know for sure, this Costa intention of saying something like that, whether 'come and get me' or he is already talked with Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Salah had one thing going for him: he was young enough to improve his game.At least Douglas Costa is younger than Cuadrado. Still not crazy about his game and he is very lightweight.Also he can't defend to save his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
