He brought us the good times, so let's stick with him through the bad.

I was honestly shocked when he put Kenedy and RLC on when we were losing against CP. If that isn't change I don't know what is. I think he is trying his best to slowly phase out our low block as well as integrate youngsters without sacrificing results.

Not going to bother about being politically correct. Love that aggression, there are indeed too many nice guys and people too concerned about being friends on the pitch. Fuck that. He did not score but totally got into those Arsenal players heads. Good enough for me. Long live Costa

He looks like a damn good buy. I honestly wasn't expecting that level of control and fearlessness in him. Such a pity we aren't clicking somehow

I'm happy that it looks like it's going to happen. However I don't think he is our "saviour" . If you are expecting a Sanchez level of impact you might be disappointed. I personally think he will be the more polished version of Shirley which I believe will be good enough.

Mou is a fucking savage

While still relatively quick I think that loss of explosiveness really hurt him. He was always 1 step too slow and got closed down or had to rush a shot. Earlier in is career his blistering pace helped him get that extra half second. Of course this doesn't excuse the completely horrendous misses. While I still don't have a good feeling about Falcao, I don't think it would hurt as bad as Torres as what the other posters have stated. Costa's now our main man so we should be fine.

It's really weird isn't it? Our squad was so much better in previous years but we just couldn't win it. Then for all the criticism we give Torres he somehow contributes to our victory. It's a fucking corner but it was all we needed.

I'd rather they light each other's asses and score 80(yes I'm greedy). Would have the added bonus of making United look like twats

If we are only getting him to purely replace Drogs then it's fine. It would actually be an upgrade despite the higher wages. The problem here is if such a talented backup who can play better than Costa at times is going to leave as a result. All the excuses I'm hearing for this transfer is basically the same hope with Torres. We've heard it all before haven't we? It's the expectation that kills you. Honestly if we were to gamble, I'd rather try a young and hungry striker like Solanke if he isn't going to be loaned out. But let's be honest, there aren't many players willing to be the 3rd striker here at Chelsea are there? No way young guys like Lacazette or Destro would want to sit at the bench. So despite all the negatives, I think we're resigned to the fate and trust in our coaching staff to bring out the best in him. No matter how much some of us are against it, if he turns out good we'll happily eat that humble pie. So let's just support him while he wears our colours shall we?

His finishing is pretty tidy but I somehow feel that he's a discount Kane. That's a true English talent imho. But yeah who knows?

Not gonna lie I thought when Pogba missed his tackle it was going to end up in a goal, he seemed to lose his head for a split second there. Buffon's deflected save was incredible and it just reminded me of that 2006 WC Final. Pity he couldn't do better for that 2nd goal though. If they had held on then I can see them winning on penalties. While I think Pogba did okay overall, I find it incredibly hard to justify that price tag. Even a prime Yaya wouldn't cost what he is being touted for. Also, not to jump on any bandwagon but if we should get a CM, Marchisio would be excellent. Very technically sound and has a cracking shot from distance. Shame there probably isn't any chance we can get him though.

Really good work by Marchisio there

Wouldn't it be largely negligible though? A couple weeks of wages and all that goes down the drain. I'm not too sure about exact numbers and I believe someone else is much more capable of crunching the maths. If we truly wanted just a commercial signing then someone like Salah or an Asian player like Ki/Muto would be much more beneficial since those markets have very few players at top clubs and and we can get large attention focused on just 1 player. Not to mention they would cost far less.

I don't think shirt sales work that way tbh. If someone buys a Falcao shirt then they probably wouldn't buy a Hazard shirt for example. And I'm really doubting this move. Wasn't he named in the Copa America squad? If so, wouldn't that mean he has effectively no preseason with us?
