He was supposed to be the next Ronaldinho or something but I haven't heard much of him since he moved to Shaktar. How's he doing there?
I recall Mancs decided against signing him because of attitude and off the field problems so that would be a worry but it would be all the sweeter if he'd be a star for us.

He was superb last season for them mate. 8 goals in the latter half of the season, and some excellent performances in the Europa League, especially against Hodgson's Fulham. He's been pretty decent in Shakhtar's CL run this season as well (2 goals, 3 assists in 6 games) scoring a belter against Roma in the first leg. He's a huge talent and you're right, Ferguson was seriously interested (went on to call him the biggest talent in South America) but I think they just missed out on him somehow. This is the first I'm hearing of his off-field problems though. Every report I've read is of him being extremely level-headed. In fact, I remember reading an interview where he said he wanted to avoid being like Robinho (or something to that effect).

who's shown an interest in him? how much would he go for etc?
Shakhtar signed him for €6 million from Gremio last January though as Akakabooto says, the Mancs were one of the favourites to land him. Hasn't been too much speculation around him recently, which is a good thing I guess. But given his talent, and their CL run, I doubt Shakhtar will let him go for cheap. Nothing less than £12-15 million. And if he puts in a couple of stellar performances in their upcoming CL games, I have no doubt his price will skyrocket.

Rumours on another site that Villa have offered us Young for 12 mill £, as he won't be signing a new contract this summer.
Anyone heard anything?

What wrong Sulkflower? Don't think Liverpool can attract expensive young talent. Not even for a chance to play under Kenny Daglish with talents such as Suarez, Gerrard, Meireles and Carroll on a revitalized and ever improving team that can already win the tough games. Or is the money at hand the issue, even though it is known that FSG were planning on buying Suarez before Torres made a transfer request and that they were able to pay 300 million cash for Liverpool and agree to pay 300 million US over 7 years to sign premier talent for their baseball franchise. You're stuck in the past. Enjoy the dawn, night is over and The Lying Rag is rising. And the slower it is the better cause it'll be up there for longer.

Cheers. Although all the pages I can find say he only scored 5 last season? The youtube clip wasn't really that impressive I thought. Also Ukrainian league has only a couple of strong teams so I'm still a bit suspicious about him.

There's about 6 new threads in here. Get with the new diktat boys.
I read he (and others) are upset that they're not allowed to use their mobiles whilst in the dressing room.
Fuck him.
Fuck him.
Costa is a huge talent, but in my opinion he is not ready for the intensity of the Premier League yet. The usual complaint about him is that he drifts in and out of matches and generally lacks consistency. If a Premier League team buys him, they have to be prepared to be patient, give him a few seasons to develop and mature, sort of like Ronaldo at ManU. Also, he would probably need a few portugese-speaking teammates to truly settle. He feels comfortable at Schakhtar precisely because they have a bunch of Brazilians, some young and some experienced, like Eduardo.
