Douglas Pereira dos Santos

If only we could roll the two into one player.

Players like Arbeloa only come along every so often

He isn't as crap as people make him look.

He was ok. Especially considering he hasn't really played that much. Still need a new RB tho.

Douglas needs a backup, mate.

Judging by that performance he is a better player (at least going forwards) than Montoya is.

Exactly. Plus, he has been training with the team all year. He may not have game experience, but we can't know how much he has improved; pretty much everyone does when they come to Barça.

Judging by his first performance for FCB, Song was also a beast.

I know it wasn't. That's not the point. Potayto, potahto. It was still within his first 100 minutes for us, or so.

Well I didn't say he will be good for us in the long term. I merely pointed out that his attacking play in that short spell was more productive than Montoyas ever is.

I agree he was unexpectedly good going forward. But I don't agree with the second part. If we're going to pick out such small samples to base our claims on, then I guess you could say that Montoya hitting the crossbar or making an assist is productive, even though he rarely does any of those.

Was the crowd really laughing when he came on?

[Galning]

It wasn't as bad as the first game he played in. Then the crowd really took the piss.

Good to see you around here again! How's life in Barcelona?
