How are they?
Barca signed Douglas... but here's how the other transfer targets are doing
Barcelona were linked to several right-backs or wing-backs this summer. Did they get the wrong man?

Before Barcelona signed
Douglas, they looked at several other players for the right flank. Here we check out how these other targets are doing this season. That's
Juan Cuadrado, Danilo, Camillo Zuniga and Lukasz Piszczek.
One of the strong transfer stories last summer was Barca's pursuit of Cuadrado. The Colombian has played 12 games for Fiorentina this season where he has scored three goals and three assists.
It's clear to see why Fiorentina wanted so much money for him.
Danilo was another name mentioned in the offices of Camp Nou.
The Porto full-back is having a spectacular season and is even in the current Brazil team. In 11 games he has notched twice and added an assist.
Both of those players would have done well in the wing-back role Pedro was in against PSG.
Camilo Zuniga is a little different. Napoli have missed him for seven games because of an injury in his right knee. Before this,
he had been a fixture in Rafa Benitez's team.
The last candidate was Borussia Dortmund's Lukasz Piszczek. He has played 14 times,
aiding the attack and helping the defence, even though his team is not doing particularly well.
Looking at these players, it's clear that
Andoni Zubizarreta did not do well when he picked Douglas.
Barca boss Luis Enrique has no confidence in the Brazilian and when you compare his two poor performances to these players' form, it does not make pretty reading.
