we should get Teixeira
It's a reasonable question. I wish he was stronger on assists, but the dude can score and play up top as any solid AM.

Rumors are there is interest from Porto, which is a club I'd think he'd thrive at. Brazilians at Juve being a sort of mixed bag.

i liked him since the games vs us, and we were also linked to him back then. id seriously consider him, with Vidal gone, we lost much goal scoring threat from the midfield. Teixeira could potentially make up for that, and with Dybala upfront, id like like one AM aside Pereyra that can score goals. if Porto would be our only competition we would have great chances to get him, but i doubt he is in our plans. would be a great signing for Porto and Porto would be a good next step for him too :tup:

We're not good at picking the right ones. We could have ended up with Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Kaká, and a dozen others.... Instead we got Diego, Gladstone, Amauri.... Most recently remember we had an interest in Neymar and got really close to signing him? But then he went to win the Libertadores and bye bye.

Just watched the extended highlights of Bayern - Milan. Now i see what everybody was talking about, Douglas Costa has been a surprise.
@Nostradamus what are your thoughts about him so far?

From what i heard he looked good in every match he's played so far. 3? It's pre-season of course. But given that everybody was on about how shit he was, it's a surprise nonetheless.

But i know, bro, Alex Teixeira is better and blahblah :D
I think Costa is a good player. I just don't see three preseason matches as the basis for switching judgement on him.

Of course not but that comparison with Krasic made no sense. Apart from maybe Bayern fans who thought they really overpaid for this guy and for that reason alone expects quality performances, everybody else just thinks he's meh and will flop. Krasic on the other hand was quite praised at one point and we had high hopes about him.

He actually was also one of their best players in the Super Cup against Wolfsburg.

Oh and speaking about Pep, apparently he had a run in with De Jong in the tunnel at half time yesterday.

Reminds me of a story from Zlatan's book, that when someone wanted to talk to Pep, he was just sitting and staring. :lol:

I was at the game yesterday, he did pretty well, but Milan were beyond pathetic. It took them 38 (!) minutes to string 3 passes together without losing possession, not counting passes back to their goalie. Yes, I actually counted, we had a brilliant time laughing at Milan. :lol:

I probably would've looked good against them last night.
