No People are blaming him for creating the drama in the first place as usual. When he's on the pitch, it's 60 percent football and 40 percent drama and controversy.

We had gone weeks without any major controversial incident.it's not a coincidence that it coincided with his absence from the team. he comes back in and it's back to thuggery and drama which overshadows the game itself but the same ole fools will continue to defend him,for sure.

Poor old Costa just always seems to be at the centre of virtually every drama. Will someone look bout for costa the victim

Those who support costa's idiocy and unsporting behavior are part of the problem IMO. There's no need at all for majority of the drama he creates on the pitch

A leopard never changes its spot. Unneccesary hot heatedness. We hadn't had an incident in a while, comes back into the team and out goes the team's discipline.

Luis has been very poor so far.

And sometimes the manager has to make tough decisions and act in the best interest of the player. throwing him into a competitive game is not acting in the players best interest regardless of how Costa feels. If he aggravates his injury or picks up a new one as a result, Jose will (and rightly so) receive the blame.

Ours and jose's responsibility is not to Spain but to the club. Jose doesn't get paid to get him fit to represent his national team. That's Del Bosque's problem not ours.

Improve his fitness for what? when the season is already over. any player returning from injury should always be eased in and not thrown straight into a competitive game and risk the player aggravating the injury again.

What's the sense in playing Costa who just returned from injury in a meaningless game? It boggles the mind. And Cech is definitely gone after this season

People debating whether they had welcome the best CM in the premier league at the club who's not even a realistic target, like the hell City would part ways with their second best and most important player after Aguero and we had be able to match his current salary. hilarious stuff.

I don't believe it for one second. Makes absolutely zero sense from every angle. He's unpopular with the players, the fans, the entire city of Madrid. He's too controversial for the league, his tenure there the last time wasn't a success per say and ended in a disaster, His style of football and approach to the game doesn't match the ideology and expectations of the fans and the club as a whole. And according to the article, Ancelotti's inability to win the league in two years is the reason cited for his possible exit if that's the case why would Perez hire Jose on that basis seeing as he only won 1 title in 3 seasons and his madrid side were realistically out of the title race by December in his last season. The only way Perez even tries such nonsense is if it corresponds with the fans wishes as they hold the trump card with their vote.

Even if he joins arsenal, as long as he doesn't go about it in a funny and deceitful manner ala lampard, he will have my blessing.

Name and shame them. No one in their right mind would hold such POV. The most outlandish claim around that time was that he had the potential to become one of the very best AM in the future which was nothing more than a baseless assertion. If anyone at any point in time actually thought he had more talent than Hazard then I would love to know so as not to ever take them seriously again.

Kudos to both managers and teams for sticking to their philosophy and giving the world a spectacle.

There's no comparison. the 04/05 Chelsea wins by a landslide. More ruthless, more efficient, more balanced, better depth and surprisingly far more entertaining. That team actually went toe to toe and matched or bettered some of the best teams in Europe at the time i.e the likes of Barcelona, Arsenal,Liverpool and so on. Can you imagine this current team going up against Barca successfully without parking the bus like we did that season?

He has no excuse not to play the kids in our remaining fixture this season but then again he had no excuse in the game against Sporting.

It's extremely cost effective: Successfully integrating a youngster into the first team will save us money and eliminate the need to splash the cash unnecessarily. It's always better to be as cost efficient as possible and even more so in this FFP climate. Homegrown: At the moment, we only have a handful of homegrown players in the team and from next season, we will struggle to fill the quota. bringing through a couple of these youngsters can/will solve the problem And then there's sentimental reasons such as the feeling of satisfaction and joy the fans derive from seeing a local lad whose development they have followed closely from a very young age and can identify with make it at the club. How do you think those fans that saw a young JT playing in our reserve team back in the 90's feel yesterday when they saw him win his 4th premier league trophy as captain?

I detect sarcasm. well played.

Technically he's won the premier league before as he was part of the invincibles albeit as a squad/role player. edit: just checked and he didn't play a single minute that season.

Roses are red Violets are blue Cuadrado is shit
