If he couldn't settle; he was medicore for a very expensive signing. Torres and Shevchenko had good games for Chelsea too, where is their defence force?

We all know this except the manager of course.

And my opinion is Michy Batshuayi is trash; or at the very least a square when a circle is needed.

I'll trust the manager over you.

Oh, is that so? I suppose his absolute failure to get minutes isn't indicative of a larger lack of ability, then?

What is Batshuayi besides a waste of money?

How many minutes did Pato get? Lol!

Gudjohnson is contentious as he could be considered an 'attacking midfielder' Let's list all the failures in recent memory: Sutton Kezman Muttu Torres Remy Batshuayi Pizarro Shevchenko Pato Falcao Even Crespo was mediocre. I couldn't remember half of these players without Google, also because I've been drinking.

'Feed yourself as a striker', what does that mean? Pass the ball to oneself? Giroud is one of the most wasteful forwards in England and Arsenal would laughing all the way to the bank if Chelsea bought him. Let's look at the actual importance of Giroud v Costa's goals. Two goals in a 4-1 victory over Sunderland Tying goal in a 1-1 draw against Manchester United Winner in a 1-0 victory over West Brom One goal in a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palce One goal in 3-3 draw against Bournemouth One goal in 4-0 victory over Swansea One goal in a 3-1 loss against Chelsea Purely on the basis of goals, he has scored one winner and only one tying goal. It should be noted that he also had MOTM against Bournemouth. All those teams beside Manchester United and West Brom are in the bottom half of the table Costa Winner in a 2-1 victory over West Ham Winner in a 2-1 victory over Watford Two goals in a 2-2 draw against Swansea One goal in a 2-1 loss against Liverpool One goal in a 2-0 win over Hull One goal in a 3-0 win over Leicester One goal in a 2-0 win over Southampton One goal in a 5-0 win over Everton Winner 1-0 over Middelsborough One goal in 3-1 win over Manchester City Winner in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace One goal in a 4-2 win over Stoke One goal in a 2-0 win over Hull Four winners, a single tying goal and four MOTM performances. Costa has played three time more football than Giroud but has made a far larger impact on his team. When Costa plays well, Chelsea tend to win.

After many years of searching, Chelsea has a striker that can score goals...only that isn't enough for the spoilt fans. Coming this summer, another transfer saga.

Bayern and Juve would just find the next diamond in the rough. Then they'd fleece another fucking idiotic English team and the cycle would continue.

Classic Fernando!

I didn't say that you said that Costa has amazing vision. You based the entirety of your claims on the fact the having assists is equitable to having 'vision' (a arbitrary attribute without any real basis of definition). If I were to suppose that 'vision', 'assists' and 'playmaking' are all synonymous, the evidence I posted from the video is enough to suggest that Costa does indeed have little to no 'vision'. His passes were simple and more often than not either; luck or entirely determinate on the skill of the goal-scorer.

Vision /= amount of assists. Any dunce can make a layback pass inside the box. Your 'facts' are incredibly weak without context. To put this into perspective, Iniesta has an equal amount of assists as Diego Costa. Would you rank their passing vision as equal? We won't even scratch the debate of how asinine assists are recorded in the world of football. If we actually examine the empirical evidence, it will show that Costa's assists are nothing particularly impressive. 1. Header at goal which led to a John Terry tap in. 2. Layback pass to Oscar. 3. Botched volley that led to Gary Cahill's volley. 4. Clumsy ball retention that led to Eden Hazard picking up the ball for a solo effort. 1. Lateral across the box pass to Willian which led to a blooter. 2. Sideways pass twenty yards from the box which led to a blooter. 3. Sideway pass thirty yards from the box which led to an Eden Hazard blooter. 4, Low cross across the goal to Victor Moses. 5. Breakaway pass to Wililan which led to a blooter. So from these two season you can see the evidence that Costa's vision is nothing extraordinary. The breakaway pass to Willian and the low cross to Moses are easily the stand-outs amongst a lot of individual skill from other players.

They don't behave like that. Their accountants behave like that.

No thanks to that.

Who takes his position as vice-captain?

Perhaps

Just wear these for the next several decades.

It's a fucking J
