Douglas Costa

[yankspurs]

Yes please. The type of player we should be after. A very good talent. We should be after players on this level like him or Isco. Not players like Barkley or Zaha.

Don't bother yourselves with this drivel, I would say there is no chance of us getting this fella as others will offer more money end of!!

Close the thread, @Archibald&Crooks - the cat from Red Dwarf says, "no chance". He even said "end of".

 

[Snarfalicious]

Would be an elite/dream signing for us. Basically would give us exactly what I believe we need to round out our attacking group. That being said, it feels like one of those things where if we showed interest and it got pretty far down the line, that a "bigger" club would come in and gazzump us.

Don't want a player on the decline. As I've mentioned before, he recently got downgraded on FIFA from an 84 to an 83, with serious hits to his Passing and Shooting. Not a good sign at all.

On a less important note, a Bayern fan did ratings for all their players this season, and said this about Costa.

#11 - Douglas Costa Thanks for the game winner against Darmstadt, but it's time to fuck off back to the favelas you Brazilian nonce. 2/10

Can I just take a moment to list a few of the players we have signed when other teams who could offer more money were interested?

Carrick
Modric
Berbatov
Bale
Eriksen
Vertonghen
Lloris
Dier
Alli
Alderweireld
Wanyama

The days of there actually being no chance of us signing a quality player are behind us. Nowadays there is always a chance, however slim.

We will always sign players, but we should never forget Willian.

Still irks me to this day.

Look at it this way: if we'd have signed Willian and he'd stayed, we probably wouldn't have signed Sissoko.

That'll have cheered you up for sure.

Doesn't irk me at all. If we'd signed him we wouldn't have got Eriksen.

Eriksen for £10m or Willian for £32M. We had a result.

None of them are brazilian.

Brazilians will always choose money above everything else

not as much as it irked POTL
we never heard from him again

Douglas Fairbanks would be more affordable

 

[Anurag Jo]

To Regular Bundesliga watchers- Has he been consistently good?

First season he looked excellent. He's suffered from some injuries and question marks about performances in bigger games in the UCL.

 

[ikky]

I know swap deals hardly ever or even never happen, but hypothetically, walker for Costa anyone?

Sissoko for Costa would be better

For those that don't watch much foreign football... The obligatory YouTube..



Should have this as standard within the players threads...

 

[St José Dominguez]

Not necessarily him but he's the level of player we should be signing now. We're a CL club who have looked only challengers to Prem winners two years in a row.

Amazing new stadium on the way and one of the best young managers in the world. Costa or players of his ilk are our level now and would be the missing piece of the puzzle.

The likes of Zaha and Barkley are so 3/4 years ago. We've outgrown those types of signings.
