Ribery will probably retire .

by Hapless_Hans Wed Oct 28, 2015 11:07 pm

Meh.
Pep started Costa, Coman, Robben, Müller and Lewandowski last weekend.
Surely Ribéry can fit in there as well somehow.

More about Ribery's former role in the team rather than Ribery never playing. Ribery is too good not to play, even at Bayern.

But the days of Ribery and Robben being the guys who unlock the doors with their individual skills are over for me. And if tactically you had to choose, I dont think there is any way you wouldnt play Costa now.

This guy is a monster and the best actual winger I've seen this season. He is the best dribbler after Messi. I hope he keeps it up. Tracks back, a monster in one vs ones, stupendous pace and is not a primadonna . He needs to improve on his finishing technique but if he can do that he will become an elite talent.

Unfortunately he needs to do the opposite of those or at least be a prime primadona to be considered an elite talent. Until he does those he would never be rated highly. Sadly!!! Lol..

Douglas Costa: "I'd like to clearly say that what I learned in 5 months at #FCBayern is more than I learned at Shakhtar in 5 years. This is unreal!"

Douglas Costa: "For me Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world. Every day I learn something new from him. He's really amazing coach."

You left out some important bits

Douglas Costa wrote:
"I was given a really warm welcome in Munich, from the fans, the players, the coach and the whole club,"

"After only a short period of time, everybody could see that I had the potential to make it here.
"To feel all of that is enabling me to play the football I am currently playing at Bayern.

"I was very happy in Ukraine, but in terms of the sporting prospects, I have learnt more in five months at Bayern than in five years in Donetsk - it's surreal.

"There isn't this rivalry at Bayern to be picked - it's not so important somehow. I've never felt such harmony within a team as I have here.

"Whether Thomas (Muller), Franck (Ribery) or I play, all that matters here is the success of this club, the biggest club in the world."

Yeha, the site I saw this on only showed those two. There's more to I read he also said he rejected Chelsea to come to pay for Pep and Bayern. And others praises for Pep, etc.

Douglas Costa "Chelsea wanted to sign me—There was great interest and they made great efforts, but I wanted to join Pep by all means" [Bild]

Douglas Costa "It was a conscious decision in favour of Pep and Bayern because I was convinced that I can learn more here."

How would you know, Pirloisjesus? I will contact Hans to get trustworthy confirmation, hold on.

Laughably overrated. So one dimensional it hurts.

Easily the dumbest supposedly top winger. Ribery's first half last night was better than anything this fraud has ever shown, and it came to show us what a real world-class winger looks like. Moura is 3 times the player Costa is.

Haven't seen you tell a lie before Valk. He's basically Antonio Valencia from a few years ago with flair.

Still better than Hazard.

One of the best wingers in the world.

depends on what you think of when you say winger... if we're talking about wide players he's not even in the top 15.

You're talking about Moura or Costa ? TBH I've been a Lucas fan since 2011, the kid is great

He's not staying at Bayern beyond this season.

Where will he end up?

Replacing Cuardado at Juve?
Replacing James at Madrid?
Replacing Lucas Moura at PSG?
Completing the Brazilian trio at Liverpool?
