Good signing for them! 20 years of A-League football, great to see the quality is improving each season. Managers having faith in footballers from NPL (and lower divisions) in Australia.
@@logan4058if The A league is trying to develop better players then more games is exactly what we need right now. Needs to be similar season length to Europe to help the transition between.
Imagine if the A-league interested this much money into the lower leagues and youth systems…. Australia might actually get somewhere in an international tournament.
Australia is in ASIAN FOOTBALL CONFEDERATION. New Zealand is in OCEANIA FOOTBALL CONFEDERATION. All 12 OCEANIA Nations should join ASIAN FOOTBALL CONFEDERATION, it would be more beneficial for all Nations, playing Regular and Better Quality Football Matches.
When you look at his goal record and the clubs he’s played at the last few seasons his career at 33 has taken a massive nose dive. Sure he’s talented but if he was that good he wouldn’t have spent the last three years being a journeyman. I don’t think he will have close to the impact Del piero had on the A league
R u ok?😂 just coz Ronaldo has done it doesn’t mean everybody can,Douglas costa has had loads of injuries all through his career so I doubt he will even get to the end of his contract
@@georgestan4161 Injuries or not that is still a big name for the league. Do you get where I'm getting at? If they can manage his injuries he is still quality.
The governing body are useless and bleed money. At least the clubs can behave and perform as a professional international organisation in the way they attract players as the APL are as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
Sorry Sydney fans I’m warning you now this guy isn’t even half the player he was and he’s only 33 Very poor at LA galaxy in the MLS and fluminese fans couldn’t wait to drive him to the airport to get rid of him But considering how many names/good players have left the a -league in recent years and the lack of investment from the government I don’t think this is a bad signing at all , i think he should do well!
SFC still going the old failed formula of signing has beens. Del Piero one of few exceptions but this guy is not in that league. CCM have shown the way.
CCM were successful because the big clubs weren't performing. Look at that Sydney team from 5 years ago that had Bobo, Ninkovic and Mierjewski, totally different levels.
It's good for the league as a whole when a big name comes to the league and plays well. Or at least plays. The problem is, a lot of these guys are pretty much finished when they get to the A-League. Costa is a shell of his former self and has had a string of leg injured over the last 4-5 years.
This is great for the league.
Good signing for them!

Great capture for Sydney and the A league
Awesome. Hope he smashes it.
Better news would be to hear that 16 team A-League to be announced in next season or 2.
30 games, finals, Cups etc...
Unpopular opinion, but 16 team league not needed. Add Auckland + Sunshine Coast Wanderers and the league is good for now. Quality > Quantity

Nice work boys ,,,let’s hope he gets the service
He's a winger. Hopefully he lays on the service.
@@williamhobbs2367 he will play him central… why! not sure
The A League needs more Marquee signings. Look at Del Piero. 👌👌

Can someone explained why Auckland City and a few other clubs from New Zeland don’t play in Australia Football League!??

Sydney fc needs another 3 players for the first eleven to be strong
Eastern (HK) gonna tear him a new one.
We are 東方!!!
Welcome to Australia's biggest club

He'll be fine. He will smash it
Getting Douglas Costa is indeed a coup. He's still 33 he can still go for at least another 5-6 years.

It doesn’t Mata

We don’t really care about performance we just want to see someone that is relatively famous
@@Footballer_536performance is definitely a priority for me.
Now that I think about it your right and in my opinion that’s good cause I’m a Brisbane roar fan 🦁
PROPER
Next year welcome to Mohunbagan 💚❤️ 👑🇮🇳
Shut up
As good as sturridge 😅
thanks for your input Debby Downer.
Injury prone
He floped in MLS, He better not think it's gonna be walk in the park that's the only way he gonna succeed

probably gonna flop like nani did
He is a potential balloon dor but wasted his talent
This league is so shit they go get a player who we forgot about since mou Man U days 🤦🏽♂️ a beg this guy is ancient now.
The league is getting boring if Bling FC keep signing these big names!! You wouldn't see him at Newcastle Jets or Western United!
Why would he go to Newcastle 😂
Cry more
Emile heskey and alessandro diamanti? Obviously not as big but still great players

He'll be hated in Adelaide. His countryman Romario played for us and he's a bigger legend than this wannabe
Romario was 40 lol
That sucks as a Brisbane roar fan
