What is the Plan B to Suarez?

 Leandro Damiao

Age – 24
Club – Internacional
12/13 Apps – 43
12/13 Goals – 24

Long term Spurs target Damiao has been attracting interest from all over Europe and he seems destined to leave this summer, but where to? Damiao is powerful and quick and has an excellent goal scoring record in Brazil, with 83 goals in 149 games for Internacional. Damiao has reportedly been close to signing for both Spurs and Napoli, as well as turning down Southampton this summer. Damiao definitely has high hopes for signing for a big club, but I doubt that club will be Arsenal, inexperienced and untested in Europe, Damiao isn’t quite what we need right now.

Diego Costa

Age – 24
Club – Atletico Madrid
12/13 League Apps – 31
12/13 League Goals – 10
12/13 League Assists – 7

Diego Costa has continued his gradual progression in Spanish football and the Brazilian striker has just come off the back of his first full season in an Atletico Madrid shirt, in which he impressed and showed the world what he is capable of netting 10 times in the League last year, earning himself a call up to Scolari’s Brazil squad. Diego Costa isn’t your 30 goal a season man quite yet, but could be capable of such a feat if played in the right system. Liverpool have apparently bid £22m for the Brazilian, either as a replacement for Suarez (whether he stays or goes), or to play with Suarez. Strong and quick he would be a good addition to most teams squads, but at the moment he doesn’t guarantee you goals, which is a problem for me, so he wouldn’t be a target of mine.
