Leandro Damiao

what a bastard hit his stats have taken!

I will elaborate on this further, I was just probably thinking out loud as I was trying to sign a decent striker last night...

Yeah they've took a massive hit. Just read this on his wiki page

"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 unability to score in a regular basis."

So I'm assuming the Santos researcher doesn't rate him

yeah its crazy. he went from this utter promising striker-



to this-



spot the difference! one you couldn't sign for under £30m and was arguably the best striker in the game, the other you can sign for under £7m and looks average at best.
granted he probably wont get a look in under scolari for the summer, but what a dip! I agree that some researchers don't fancy players, and he probably hasn't been on the top clubs radar for a while, but crikey! that has to be some dip in fortune!

Injuries and too much fannying about with third party ownerships man.

If you think that's bad just consider the Sao Paulo attack;



Two FMs ago that shit would have been good enough to win the CL.

ganso is a great example.

I forgot Ganso existed!
