Douglas Costa (17 Viewers)

[Adrian]

Needs consistent playing time in a settled team so he can gel and learn how players work. That is our biggest weakness this season...allegri doesnt have the team settled and so much changes week to week. Newbies come in and look lost. In fact players who have been here for years look lost. This squad is nowhere near settled.

Douglas Costa isn't a dumb player, he actually makes smart decisions, obviously doesn't always get it right, but from what I've seen from him he's a smart player who creates many chances. Some people seem to stereotype players that are fast and tricky as not smart or low IQ, just because they're fast and tricky.

He is not a smart player, but he is also not a headless chicken as some idiots on this forum rants about. Sure he will have the occasional brainfart and WTF moment, but he is also cabable of doing absolute brilliant things.
He is never going to be on the shortlist of candidates for the ballon d'or, but in a specific role he can be WC. I struggle to see anybody who is as explosive as him, and he is one of the very best in 1on1 situations, meaning he can go past his marker, and create unbalance and bad matchups for the opponents as very few players are cabable of. He is the kind of player, who will be invaluable for us if we can get the best out of him.

I wanted to reply to what he wrote but decided to just let it go. Douglas Costa a smart player, maybe if you smoked some strong stuff just before kick off

Douglas Costa is = run to the line, kick the ball hard into the box, do some skillfull tricks here and there without any end product to those tricks and repeat it again and again. At least thats how his last 18 months in Bayern was like. Dont know how he is doing in Juventus

 

[DAiDEViL]

Yeah. That's him.

Costa with 400 IQ plays

 

[BayernFan]

Yeah. That's him.

I remember how i was sure we bought the next big thing after his first 3-4 months here. Silly me to be so naive about him

I thought he would be way more headless than he is. Also his crossing is very good. But he's extremely one footed and like 99% of one footed players, they look borderline retarded sometimes because they can't perform basic functions with the weak foot and people think they just don't see the move or can't think of something, but really they are physically incapable of performing it.

Feels like we have too many of those nowadays.

His decision making and football IQ is clearly above Cuadrado, a player that so many on here passionately defend.

Cuadrado didn't cost 40mil and was brought in as marquee signing

 

[BayernFan]

Cuadrado didn't cost 40mil and was brought in as marquee signing

46 mil

 

[DAiDEViL]

46 mil

It's just a loan :sarcasm:

Cuadrado's best position is wingback. He's closer to Alex Sandro than Costa, really.

We've enjoyed a lot of success with Cuadrado and his defensive contributions so it's natural that some of us give him more leeway. He also has a shit ton of game deciding moments on his resume.

Yes, we all know Cuadrado is prone to the occasional brain aneurysm on the field.

Yesterday an Italian newspaper(dagospia) claimed there was a fight between our new players and some old guard and DCosta supposedly said that he wants out...

Tabloid gossip mag. Story was quickly denied by Juventus.
