Rumoured Douglas Costa

[Stats 6,980]

Shaqiri is as much as a winger as Cuadrado is.

Costa has fantastic workrate and uses his pace well. Costa has been Europe's best player so far

I never said he was not but like I said, it is easy to say "this could have been us" but two different teams, two different leagues, two different systems and basically that.

Douglas Costa has been the best player in europe this season.

Muller and Robert are banging goals, but Costa has been the best player on Munich and Europe... Absolutely demolished wolfsburg today.

Looks like along with De Bruyne one of the biggest transfer mistake in Mourinho's second spell.

Put Willian in this Bayern team and he will look at least as good. Costa always shifts the ball to his left and runs after it. literally every time he gets the ball. no idea why defenders have not figuered that out yet. he is good but not as good as KDB. The only time he faced a decent defender - which are nowhere to be found in bundesliga - this season, which was vs Arsenal, he was in Bellerin's pocket all game.

Except for when he almost broke Bellerin's backbone lol.

Ermm... he destroyed Bellerin. Bellerin got owned first half. He improved second half when he did not have to deal with Costa who started to roam about the pitch.

I was wrong about this dude. Last year I thought he would've been useless to our team. Even considering that he's playing in an ultra attacking side, he's showing his talent.

I think Willian is more talented. Willian in Bayern would show his real class. At Chelsea he has to work his ass off, Mourinho kills his vibe. I firmly belive that Costa would suck at Chelsea and Willian would shine under Guardiola if they swapped team.

Agreed, still wouldn't mind him right now at Chelsea.

Anyone who added quality would be welcomed

Let me remind you of this

Costa is literally the perfect attacker for Pep, the attributes pep likes Costa >>>>>>>>>>>>> Willian.

He is direct

He moves great off the ball- biggest Willian weakness, never seen him do anything off the ball.

Better finisher, better in the final third.

Smh i can't quantify talent, but that is disputable and who cares if Willian is more talented, if the attributes Pep look for is not the one he needs.

Willian would probably be utilized as wingback tbh.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Mourinho was probably interested in his work-rate, track back record, tackling & ball interception percentage, goalkeeping abilities etc. hence he is at Bayern now, playing for a mananger that knows how to take his attacking players to the next level. Bet he'd have looked like a poor man's Stewart Downing had he joined Chelsea.

[kellzfresh 7,226]

The guy is direct, doesn't slow down the attack and he can dribble, he's dribbling as well as Hazard last season and he's even faster. He was the dribbler we should have gotten on the right wing. It's painful to see how we missed out on our solution.

[the wes 7,212]

It wasn't to long ago some of ones on this forum were saying he's overrated and now they are saying he's brilliant and we should have sign him

[Azul 1,615]

If Willian went to Bayern instead of us then he'd playing like Douglas if not better. Douglas Costa would've been destroyed in Chelsea.

[hamad138 190]

Willain is different to costa, costa is a highspeed dribbler like neymar , Willan is a creator. U cant compare them
