BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 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).

termninja 5,290 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,980 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Good move for him, he'll be surrounded by good players and will have many chances to play with Robbery's injury problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 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).

WNDS 502 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
