Damiao - ST - Internacional (14 Viewers)

[Delle Alpi]

I like what I am seeing from him in the Brazil Argentina match. Good in the air, hard to get off the off ball and plays very well with his back to the goal. I believe he has all the tools to be a pretty good centre forward for a big European team.

he can and will be a beast in our system.

 

[TheLaz]

Not convinced at all. I missed todays game but I watched him in the past three games for Brazil. Compared to Lewandowski whom I have watched in the last two games with Poland, Damiao is absolute rubbish. Lewandowski > Damiao 100%.

 

[Bianconero81]

Both of them are <<<<< RVP or Higuain

 

[alexjuventino]

We should start to talk about this guy maybe juventus might get him

 

[Zacheryah]

at least tuttosport, goal.com, tuttomercato, sky, and di marzio will link him with us

 

[alexjuventino]

Well at this point i dont care who we get i just want Juventus to get someone and i saw Damiao play today aganist Egypt and hes a true goal poacher

 

[Osman]

Call him true whatever, but the more I see this guy, the more I wonder what the fuss is. Hardly does zip on the pitch.

 

[alexjuventino]

Yea i agree we dont need a player who doesnt move

 

[Red]

Hardly does zip on the pitch.

And then he scores.

It's about that movement lol

 

[alexjuventino]

And then he scores.

Yea but he could be one of those players who is waiting for the ball to be delivered to his feet instead of trying to get the ball

Long as he scores, that his job

 

[Osman]

Thats the thing, the games I seen him in (half a dozen brasil games), he hardly does that, or gets even close to it. Today he scored, fine, but he was lacking and afraid to get involved rest of the game. And no, I'm not saying it because he is a poacher, dont have much against specialization, but there is a balance of where looking so off on the pitch so much is justified by you just scoring, and I'm not convinced he is someone who would be able to score consistently in top level.

I agree, I haven't been impressed w/ what I've seen. BUT, he's young, and always starts for Brazil. they must know something.

 

[Osman]

Thats true, the young part, but Brasils recent history is filled with starting mediocre strikers.

 

[Gerd]

Isn't pato brasils main striker ? Or is he injured again ?

 

[Osman]

No he isnt, Pato is glad he is even called up, he hasnt been Brasils main striker in ages, used to not even be called up.

 

[vodka]

Isn't pato brasils main striker ? Or is he injured again ?

whereever he is, there are better brazilian strikers than him. Hulk, Neymar for example

Wouldn't judge anyone by how they perform for Brazil these days.

He looks a perfectly fine poacher the few times I've seen him play for Internacional.

He is certainly takes things to the extreme in terms of a complete lack of interest in moving early or getting involved in play, though.

He seems willing to challenge for an initial long ball, but after that he's just waiting for things to progress to the final third.

Would be too much of a gamble for anything more than about 15m, and 25m is the figure I keep seeing.
