Welshace Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Leandro Damião da Silva dos Santos (born 22 July 1989) Commonly known as Leandro Damião, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a striker for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Internacional. He has been capped at international level by Brazil. Club career Damião began his career as a midfielder, playing for local teams in Jardim Alegre. He had unsuccessful trials with XV de Outubro and Atlético Ibirama before joining Atlético Tubarão. "When I went to Ibirama a lot of people said I wasn’t good enough," he said. "I had an awful lot of problems to face and I nearly gave up football to go and help my family". During his time with Atlético Tubarão he established himself in the team, having moved into a more advanced position as a striker, and was given a second chance by Atlético Ibirama in 2009.Having scored eight goals in the Santa Catarina state championship, Damião was transferred to Internacional where he won three titles with the club's under-20 side and earned a call-up to the B team. He scored twice in his Campeonato Gaúcho debut and was then called up to the first team for their 2010 Copa Libertadores campaign. Damião won his first major title in August 2010 when he helped Internacional defeat Guadalajara in the Copa Libertadores Finals. He scored the club's second goal in their second leg victory in Porto Alegre to win the competition 5–3 on aggregate. International career He was given his first call-up to the Brazil national team in March 2011 for the friendly against Scotland after Alexandre Pato withdrew from the squad due to injury. "I'm taking advantage of the circumstances to summon a player who has been playing well with Internacional and is young enough to play in the Olympics," said head coach Mano Menezes. He won his first cap in the match at the Emirates Stadium in London, which Brazil won 2–0. Damião scored his first goal for Brazil in a 1–0 friendly win against Ghana on 5 September at Craven Cottage. In Game Stats CLICK HERE FOR FULLSCREEN PIC SHOWING SOME BRAZILIAN FLAIR... [video=youtube;xLjK5R1jPYs] Reminds me of Fifa In game, Damiao is the perfect package and can play any striking role you would wish to give him, he's not particularly weak in any area, and of note is his finishing, heading, determination and off the ball stats.. not to mention his brilliant physical stats.. he has pace to burn, great balance and the agility, stamina and strength to make him superb as a lone striker or as one of two up front. For me, he's a must buy for any team who can afford him and needs a proven goalscorer with the footballing world at his feet, which brings me neatly into his price... he's valued at £4.6million at the start of the game and my scouts at tottenham tell me he can be bought right out for £17million, which for me, is great value for a striker of his quality... give him a try, you wont regret it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert the Spud Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Yes, I am trying to buy him for Spurs, but Inter want £27million. You won't get him for £17m, unless you play the long-term waiting game. He looks class though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArsenalFan7 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I want him! He looks like a wicked complete forward Just gone and started a R.Madrid save and will dedicate it to buying Leandro and seeing how he goes, won't be able to use him on the real version with Koln (well, highly unlikely anyway) so may as well try now.

Pooku Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Cracking player for my liverpool side, played him as both target man and poacher. He's scored goals in both roles, sometimes both in the same match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
col_nufc1 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Signed him for my Newcastle side for £20m over 48 monthly installments, and even though it's still early days in my save he seems to score every game as a poacher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not tried to buy neymar but i would imagine at least £40m. Leandro is awesome up front also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmason122 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 His technique should be 20 just for that bit of skill against Argentina, ha ha ha. Very well rounded striker stats wise.

Welshace Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 lots of people have signed him for the toon already tmason.. im pretty sure he goes .. .. and id pick damiao over tardelli anyday... i just feel damiao while not as quick as tardelli is stronger in all other area's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate 48month transfer fees, think I seek cheaper options to begin with. Not likely to get Tardelli either as he is now at the super millionaire russian club Anzhi.

mbroonk Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I brought him to Liverpool for 14.5 outright in the summer of 2012. He's not doing that great though, misses a couple of sitters each match. Luckily my midfielders score a lot. Edit: In the next match after this post I put him as poacher and he scored 5 in the Merseyside derby, as many as he had scored in the whole season up until then (30th October).

Deephouses Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I've got him at Everton and would agree he can be quite frustrating. He'll play at around 5.9-6.2 then get a goal and finish with a rating of 7 or just above. He is getting goals so he's doing his job but he'll need a few decent chances to score. Tried him as a complete and advanced forward. Ass Man recommends poacher but I feel like that could be wasting some of his attributes. What's the best way to play him?

Robioto Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Just bought him for £21m with Everton in Jan of the 2nd season. I'll report back how he gets on. His stats are insane, can't wait to get him in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDaveDave Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I paid £19m up-front for him in the second January window. According to his stats he's done pretty well; 11 goals and 7 assists in 23 league games. I usually play him as a TM or poacher, but he doesn't seem to do a lot and often misses chances that Carroll or Suarez would put away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmufc Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Very hot and cold for me, can go on a run of matches where he scores two or three a match, and then goes 6 without scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begilsson Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 This guy has been essential for me winning consecutive Serie A-titles with Udinese, scoring 49 goals in 83 apps in the league, mostly playing as a lone striker. Came initially as an long-term replacement for Di Natale, but Di Natale broke his leg and retired within weeks after Leandro's arrival mid-January first season. He didn't ask twice and by the end of the season he was my team's top scorer! Unfortunately, with two years left on his contract, his wage demands for an extension (initially £82000) far exceeds the maximum wage cap I've set for my players (max £45000 for absolute key players). Unless I can work som magic in the negotiation room I'm looking to cash in on him before his value start dropping. Very hot and cold for me, can go on a run of matches where he scores two or three a match, and then goes 6 without scoring. He's had a couple of spells like this for me to, lastly finishing the season going ten hours without finding the back of the net. Guess it happens to every striker.

Mikal Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Paid £21m or so in the second season for him and he does seem to be a complete beast. Scored 5 on his debut, but does have dry spells and I agree he does miss a lot of chances. I think he's like 24 goals in 17 games, so I can't complain too much! Still needs to settle a bit I think. I'm not on the game at the mo, so can anyone see if he has any PPM's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
