Douglas Costa

Yeah he's been incredible the last couple months
 
I was completely wrong about him. Didn't think he was very good when he was at Bayern but liked his performance in CL and in general.

His acceleration is superb, so is his crossing.
 
At the beginning he was looking like the next Robben at Bayern, too. Unfortunately he couldn't keep a consistent high level for long. Still not convinced it will be different this time.

Yeah, I always liked him but I remember being surprised at just how good he was, when he just joined you guys.

Then didn't watch too many of your matches, and was massively surprised you were willing to let go of him - especially considering the age of Robbery....

He was inconsistent for juventus all the way 'till March. Sensational from then on. Though it was a constant improvement rather than high and lows. He started pretty badly and steadily improved

That was mainly due to Ancelotti, wasn’t it? With Carlo we didn’t play with real wingers anymore and Costa had to play much more through the middle. That’s when the form dropped and he got frustrated. Whenever he could run down the wings, he did alright.

He did alright under Pep, mostly, but never got to a consistent world-class level.
 
One of the very few natural wingers left in the game. If he could stay consistent he'd up for the Ballon dor.
 
This guy should be a starter for Brazil. Despite the fact that he was supposedly injured, he was Brazil’s best player when he came on.
 
Agreed. How he didnt start is beyond me. Provides more of a directness and width than Willian does. Changed the game when he came on.
 
He is a fecking beast, he is so explosive and his passing from one side to the other is so crisp. Back to his early Bayern form under Pep.
 
Good player, and a shrew purchase by Juve. Fully expect him to contribute to keeping them in the mix in the CL.
 
Should have started. Or introduced instead of Paulinho with Firmino dropping and pressing in midfield to compensate for latter's absence.
 
Ronaldo———Higuain—————Costa
———————-Dybala——————

Even if they sell Higuain, they could still do an interchanging front three of Ronaldo, Dybala and Costa with a 3 man midfield behind them
 
Juventus getting Ronaldo is a shame because it obviously means they're not as thick as we wanted them to be and buy that deadbeat Anthony Martial.

Then we could have got Douglas Costa who is exactly what we need.

God, you're still obsessing your hate on Martial in other threads too?

I'm not even a Martial fan but this is irritating.

The fanbase needs to take action against this chancer and his poisonous agent.

That's all I'm saying on the matter as the mods aren't happy.

Back to Douglas Costa, he was fantastic last night when he came on and he is the player we need on that right. Such a wonderful player.

I’m sorry, this shouldn’t go unnoticed by the mods even if you misspelled it to “camouflage” the word. Ridiculous thing to say!

‘Mods aren’t happy’ - So have you had a warning before?

If so, then why are you randomly calling Martial a chancer in the Costa thread? That’s uncalled for and also wide off the mark too.

@Damien noticed you locked the other thread where he tried to force his Martial agenda, so he moved into this thread for sly digs.

He moved in after my post in here.

I answered the guy who responded to me and said that's all I'm saying as I respected the mod's wishes. It's you who's dragging it back up my friend.

Douglas Costa thread, lets talk about him now.

Of course. Sorry, my mistake. I read it in the context. My bad!

I think your agenda towards Martial is a little over the top, however. And besides, he doesn’t play on the right. Can’t play on the right
