Diego Costa

[bababoom 4,478]

Jose pointed it out, he's not just a big 'Andy Carroll' esque striker, obviously Costa is much better with the ball but he's also very smart without it, his movement is what excites me the most though, how long has it been since we've had a proper striker who makes smart runs? Feels like forever.

Also after reading what Jose had to say re Costa, I believe this guy will be a massive success here, can't wait for the season to start.

GUYS, Costa got a 3 month injury on my Football Manager save..

is this a sign?

No. Just go back to the main menu, load the CFC save and he'll be healthy as a horse again.

Too late for that, he scored a hattrick against Arsenal

Does he understand the concept of fun? I just get the image that when told to sing his initiation song he just glares and then silently walks out the room. He's a proper scary bastard.

[Term-X 7,891]

I wonder if his initiation song is gonna end like this..

The Atletico fans have a 31-page thread on one of their forums lambasting Costa because he said Mourinho is the best manager in the world lol... and I thought RAWK was anti-Mourinho!

The RAWK thread on Mourinho is truly sickening. They're obsessed by him, but what else do you expect from that gutter club.

About Costa's Mourinho comments. I read a retraction on Marca.com with Costa basically saying he never said that and how Simeone is still his numero uno.

Really? The Chelsea website itself has quoted him saying it. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/07/first-words--diego-costa.html

Edit: just found it. Chelsea mistranslated him then I guess. http://www.marca.com/2014/07/25/en/football/spanish_football/1406286003.html

Any in depth videos of Costa out there? Not just the ones with his goals and shitty techno background music.

Did Wenger is still in charge ?

Indeed.

He called me daft after I beat him, lol.

Not really in depth but here's a video of Costa vs Real with english commentary. No music. Really shows his fightermentality and his clever off the ball movement,

I think the scoutnation video is also a pretty good video.

He really seems like a handfull for central defenders. clever runs, extremely alert and he doesn't shy away from a physical battle.

[The Chels 2,502]

Seems that in games against less defensive teams Costa's intelligent runs serve him well. I'm not sure how he'll fare against parked buses because he's not very good in tight spaces.

The Chelsea TV interviews with the new signings are getting incredibly embarrassing. "How easy of a decision was it to come to Chelsea?" Really? Might as well go full scouse and ask would he agree that Chelsea are the biggest club in England...

Yep the whole thing tends to be very cringeworthy like when Fabregas was asked about the young players and he said he had only trained a couple of times so didn't really know
