Leandro Damiao… again?

[cosmund]

Hope not. Since moving to Santos his form has plummeted to an all time low and consequently his value. He's having a season a bit like Soldado's. I know form is temporary but is he really worth a gamble? If Pochettino is appointed we're more likely to buy Ricky Lambert.

i think his form hasn't been good since the Olymipics, which he was badly injured shortly after the Games. been out for quite so time, then just simply can't score goals for half a season or so. his form has not been back when he started to bang in a couple of goals either, don't know what happended.

He needed to move to Europe at least 18 months ago, if not before, in order to progress his career, he didn't and as such he is below the level now of most PL strikers.

Only two summers? We've been tracking him for four summers!

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

His agent/Internacional really fucked his career up. If he moved to us when were first linked. He was 20 at the time(IIRC) we could have probably developed him into a decent striker.

Instead they tried to fleece us for massive amounts and he's ended up stagnating in Brazil. I think he moved to Santos but has been a massive flop.

Can somebody just pull the trigger and shoot me now please, I need to be put out of my misery....

Holy fuck shit, this article looks to have been written by a 10 year old. The grammar, use of punctuation and syntax are atrocious. Then there's this:

"Unfortunately for Damiao, however, the move has completely backfired and the strikers form has gone out the window."

Fuck it, I'm rejecting my university offer. I don't want to be a journalist anymore.

Blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow blue and yellow

Fuck sake lol...

Mind you would be hilarious if he does sign for us and then goes on to be a Spurs all-time goal scoring legend.

Gotta go now, my ambulance has arrived to take me back to the nice, warm, safe asylum.

 

[eddiev14]

No

 

[Ribble]

The first Damiao rumour of the year means it's officially summer, hooray!

 

[VanZan]

I had forgotten about this geezer...so he turned out to be a donkey in the end? It's always a bad sign when we're linked with a Brazilian international no one's ever heard of. Bullet dodged.

I took the p1ss last week when starting a thread on this very player as it wouldn't have seemed right for a transfer window with us being linked to him. The thing is if Poch comes in as our new manager has he said anything about him because maybe he has connections where LD has been playing? I hope this is a non-starter as I want Soldado to win the golden boot next season (if he is still with us)

 

[Misfit]

Fucking hell.

 

[Good Doctor M]

Everyone else looking forward to Euro 2012 lads?

Latest update to his wiki is interesting...

Despite scoring five goals in 13 appearances during Santos' runner-up campaign, Damião was hugely criticized due to his lack of agility and pace, plus his inability to score on a regular basis.

 

[VanZan]

Are you sure that's not Soldado's wiki page?

 

[Bennys LOL]

Has anyone seen the reports as to why he's for sale?

Lack of agility and pace, and his inability to score regularly. So why the hell would we want him lol

Sounds perfect for Levy if his price is 2m

You really think Soldado has shown a lack of agility?

 

[Spurrific]

Yeah, mate. It actually says Damiao's name on there - and references Santos. Soldado's name is Soldado and he plays for Tottenham.

Err...wha?

Edit. You must be replying to VanZan.
