i have to laugh some of the :clown: on this forum who said douglas costa is crap what i witness tonight hes a good player i wish chelsea had him instead of cuadrado

When I said in January that, based on you tube, he looked technically superior to Cuadrado, someone laughed at me. At the time, I didn't mind too much. I accepted that youtube is youtube, and that the other poster must have seen more of the two players than I had. From what you say however, this perhaps turns out to have been another missed opportunity for the club. Let's just hope it does not proove to be of Agureo sized proportions. The club can't dwell in the past. It simply has to keep looking until it finds what we need. If that happens within the next fortnight then great, if not there will be other windows.

Who would have thought that you should not speak about a player when you didnt see the player play. Crazy idea.

Some things that are very clear for one human being are not that clear for the other.

Anyway, as much as i like to see Costa doing well and hate how we got Cuadrado instead, i wouldnt push it too much. He'll continue to be very dangerous but I dont think Costa can grow into a 'world class' winger. He has limitations in his game that will be shown. If he could get enough games as the RW, not the LW, he'll do great. In LW he'll become predictable.

this may be unpopular but I think this guy is a gem and would have him over alot of other people we have been linked to in the right wing deparment. He is a huge talent who only needs maturity and better finishing to become a top player. Im sure jose can help him both those deparments(more so on the former though)

called it before he made all the headlines , can't believe the ignorance people had over him without watching any shaktar games

And to think we were in for him and bought Cuadrado instead...

That last one haha. He actually pulled it off succesfully, the defender lost his head for a second.

I called him a squad player, but boy is he proving me wrong for now. It will be interesting to see how he'll do over a full season.

That's the way to start as a new signing btw. None of that struggling with the ball, misplacing passes, failing to make any impact for months, people telling you the player needs time.

Calm down. The opponent was only HIV by far the worst Team in an already shitty league. My cat would score against them. Costa is an OK player no doubt but he will be found out. There is a reason why he only collected like a 5 goals and assists each in the fuckin Ukrainian league. As of yet I would still have Willian ahead of him. Probably he is still better than cuadrado tho but who could have known. Both looked like bang on average wingers with pace and some skill, with cuadrado being in a slightly stronger league. But I am sure, cuad would fare just as well in a Bayern team playing against mickey mouse clubs.

Who exactly will he be found out by? Hertha Berlin? :D

He can do a job against the small sides, and that is all they need until their big boys come back.

Costa's job isn't the same as Cristiano or marco reus. His job is to provide width, workrate and pace, which he does all so well....

Can't compare that to willian or cuadrado since they are playing in different systems.

Costa was hyped up in brazil when he was a youngster as well, however, he went to shaktar for some reason even though United were close by

Tbf, he is playing against shit opponents with a much BIGGER Side, with much better players. It is kind of normal for him to be this good.

That being said, I never slated the signing and it is epic seeing the typical "specialists on transfers" watch with their eyes wide open. LMAO.

Doulgas Costa might be the best player in the world so far this season....

(even though we just started). Destroyed the defenders on the right side and provided the assist to Robert for the last minute goal.

He's getting pretty close to being world class if he can keep this up.

He would not look near as good if he came here. One thing is to say it's a tougher league, blah blah blah, but we all know the first thing for Mourinho would have done would to get all of his attacking instincts into a nice little ball, crush it and fuck it straight out the window.

I think he did the same with Cuadrado and it's just turned his brains to mush and now he looks like Bambi with a football.

To be fair, Cuadrado has never been that good in the first place. Got overhyped because of one World Cup and one Serie A season.

My exact sentiments as soon as we were linked with him...

Douglas Costa on the other hand is proving me wrong right now, but I'll see how he fairs in the CL and not just the Bundesliga before passing true judgement.
