Douglas Pereira dos Santos

[Androutsos]

Maybe they were just looking for somebody new to bully in the rondos

 

[messi2140]

Can he play on different positions or is he just a rb ?

Welcome Keirrison/Henrique 2.0!

Someone said he run faster than Alba.

 

[jamrock]

well I have been saying, I would like them to go out and scout and bring back a gem, so I will not say anything until I have seen him play.

then I will know, if they are only capable of signing over priced attackers and average defenders, with the horrible negotiating skills

Someone said he run faster than Alba.

Oh, shut up you. We all know that isn't true...

 

[Yugi]

Welcome Lord Douglas

 

[Autumn]

Statistics suggest he is just fine. I value that high above any of these random individuals who watch the Brazil league that supposedly have such in depth scouting information on this guy.

I hope he works out well. With his price he's not much of a risk anyways. Give him a chance!

"Douglas Pereira dos Santos (Monte Alegre de Goiás, 6 August 1990) is the latest of that special breed of Brazilian wing-backs – a defender who also supports the attack with dazzlingly incisive runs down the flank" From the official website

 

[MessiDinho10]

He's of a special breed? What?
This creates huge expectations, not a smart way to speak about a player who is not likely to fulfill them.

The fact everyone jokes about him says it all really.

He is a Dos Santos so he is destined for our bench

Wasn't online for 1 week and the 1st thing I see is that we signed some random dude named Douglas

Is he really that bad as everyone says?

All we can do now is hope he isn't

I've got a friend who watches Brasileirao on a constant basis and he lives in Brazil - he actually says he's bad, but not that bad. That's what he said: "Well, he's not Alves. He is more limited, though of course, as any brazilian fullback, he likes to attack. Didn't show anything during the first 3 years of his career, moreover he had one long term injury for 6 months. But this season he actually looked good in all games apart vs Goias. In my opinion he is, on par with Mayke and Claudio Winck, one of the best fullbacks of this season in Brasileirao".

Neither mayke or winck are good enough for Barça either. Douglas is fast, and that's it. If that's all they wanted from a rb... He is 24-years-old, and will have to learn some of the basics to not be a liability for Barça. He never caught the attention of anyone. He was never called fot the nt, and rb is a position needing improvement for brazil as well.
