Cajun Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 He is very, very good and promising. If we are talking about the PSV defender that is. The line "He is a PSV defender" in the first post sort of points in the direction that we are probably talking about the PSV defender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guinness Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Can't say I've seen much of him, think I saw him play in the friendly with PSV last season, but I'm not entirely certain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I've seen quite a bit of him and never been too impressed. Alongside Alex he has done mostly well, but then again who wouldn't? When Alex was out with injury it really hurt P$V's defense and especially highlighted the inexperience in Da Costa's game.. Reports in Holland from multiple sources are saying Porto are after him as a replacement for Pepe, who has just moved to Madrid in a big money deal I believe.. It was also reported when he signed for P$V that there was a buyout clause set at 7M Euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roland Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Tow games in Breda (cup and league), in both games he was horrible, 2 big errors leading to a NAC Breda goal. He is still young and quite talented, but he should stay at PSV a few more years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 For those who watched the European U21 championships, he was the tall, lanky central defender for Portugal. As a whole their team performance was disappointing, and I don't think Da Costa's performance was much better. Also, I don't think as is suggested earlier in this thread that he is suitable to play as a full back. I am not even convinced he is worth the reported 7M euro buyout clause at this point in time, and due to his inexperience and our need for experience in the centre back position (seeing as we already have potential in the person of Taylor) I don't think he would suit us at this point in time.. Seeing as he can stay at P$V or potentially go to Porto in his homecountry, I don't even think he would really be interested in coming to Newcastle, especially as a squad player..

Lloydie Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Don't remember the guy at all, but it's true that PSV's defence fell apart completely as soon as Alex was injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I've looked on google.fr and typed in "Manuel da Costa Newcastle" and there's nowt mentioning it. Just like there was nowt mentioning that Roeder was getting some Swiss job when you said.

ShearMagic Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hate to spoil the party but personally I think its a crock of shit. I dont see why we would be interested in a 20 year old, when SA basically said himself he wants experience at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
