It's not a bad deal at all. We need a half decent striker that can actually finish. Diego Costa fits that position. The reason for all the hype is because we haven't had a competent striker since 2012. People are getting excited, the English media are all over it to put pressure on us etc. If we were to sign Costa as well as 4 other players for price tags of +30 million, nobody would even notice him. I find the players that get overlooked by the media in the transfer window are always much better off. Pressure is a cunt. .

I can understand where you're coming from. But don't forget, we aren't paying 50 million for him. We are paying what he's worth. If we were to buy somebody like Suarez, we wouldn't have much change from 100 million in this day and age. .

No, they don't. Unless they are worshipped and prayed to. If I have a spoon that I consider sacred because of its history in my family and somebody was to come along and wipe their ass with it, that would be considered sacrilegious.

Look it up.

How does that make us more laughable? Lol, we get results by making changes, they make as many changes as us and still can't win shit.

You do know that sacrilege has nothing to do with religion right?

Well, let's start with, longer then you. Secondly, do a bit of research before you make comments like that. Since our takeover, we have been given shit about sacking managers. In that time we've had 9 managerial changes, 3 of them being interim. In that time, we've won 3 Premier Leagues, 4 FA Cups, 3 league cups a champions League and a Europa League. In that same time, Tottenham have changed managers 8 times and won a league cup. We may have had more manager changes, but at least ours bring success. They sack managers when it's their team that's actually shit.

We can only hope..

Put it this way, he's definitely in for a new gig before Moyes..

Sherwood sacked. The yids change managers like Ibra changes teams..

Are you serious?? Surely you're only referring to his form this season!?! Bagging Lampard is considered sacrilegious around these parts. The man will go down in history as one of the greatest ever Chelsea players, IMO, the best!

People comparing Costa to Torres have lost it. Forget about the stats, body language alone shows how Diego Costa will not fail at Chelsea. Torres plays most of the game with his hands by his side, shoulders slumped over, making runs into an open position only once the ball has already been shot, then waving his hands in the air like he was in that position all game. Torres takes 1 or 2 touches too many, Costa hits first time. Costa makes runs into the right position, Torres can't find that position if you marked it with a big red X.

He is a massive personality that will be missed in the dressing room, if it's true. His style on the pitch has lacked discipline in big games and he tends to lose his head when we are chasing games. For the price they are quoting, I'd say do it. I love David, he is actually one of my favourite players since he got here. Love the goal's he scored vs United and City at the bridge. Massive competitor, but if he want's to leave to take up a spot at Barca, good luck to him..

We lacked a midfield leader and a decent finisher. Without those two, 3rd in the league and CL semi final, I'd say it's been a success. Our dominance in Europe is only not far away.

The deflected goal by the biggest fuckwit to ever lace up a pair of boots really epitomizes our season. We need some massive changes. .

I do agree, but in the past we have tried to buy players off them that were actually in form. Spurs might be looking to cut their loses and move on. Paulinho has said he wants Chelsea, so I guess the balls in our court.

How funny is it that years ago, if we were linked with signing a current Brazilian midfielder, this place would be buzzing with excitement. Now, the pro's are out to have his head before he's even put pen to paper. He has obviously fallen out of favour with his current club, which is very common when the manager that signed him was sacked. I'm not saying this guy will be the next big thing, but I think he will surprise many. Imagine how pissed those fuckwits would be if we got him cheap and he turned out to be awesome?

Didi is a once in a lifetime striker. As a person and as a player, there was nobody like him. He can never be replaced unfortunately.

It's getting really easy to determine the plastics from the genuine supporters here.. Real easy...

RDM chose nothing. He was an errand boy following orders and was given no hope in hell of managing Chelsea FC. His job was over before it even started. The way we treated him and the way some fans still treat him is atrocious. The man is a legend in my opinion.

Don't forget, we still had Drogba, Malouda in form, Lampard, Ash and Terry IMO in their peak and Anelka who was very underrated at Chelsea. The current team is way weaker then the one that was given to Carlo and AVB. Let's not forget how well we started 2010-2011. We were knocking in goals for fun. It all went downhill the second Ray Wilkins got sacked. I honestly think Carlo inherited the strongest Chelsea team ever and then AVB fucked it up. Then came Liverpool's secret Agent Benitez who talked us into selling them Sturridge. We've had some real fucking morons at the helm for years and now that we have the best manager in the world, idiot's are still complaining. Give me one striker like Didi and we win everything this season.

I hope Jose never leaves. Anybody who complains about his defensive game plan has to consider that our attack hasn't been good since Carlo left. I think Jose is thinking long term dominance. I'm sure he's going for a "need to learn how to crawl before you walk" approach with this team, trying to get the defensive aspect right, and then find players who can compliment that with quick, direct and swift attack. Jose, at the beginning of his term said that this is a rebuilding season and not to expect much. If any other manager in the world said that and then got their team to 3rd in the domestic league and the semi final of the greatest football competition in the world, he would either have been offered a new, long term contract or he'd be bought by Man city. Jose has been given a relatively uneven team to work with. On one side we have the English contingent who consist of experience and strength, but lack youth, speed and style. We have the Brazil boys who have speed, style and fitness but lack consistency and discipline. We have Torres who only seems to score in games we lose, Eto'o who couldn't buy a goal away from home, Ba who would be brilliant if he played with another striker, so technically doesn't fit our system, Shurlle, a player that i think has massive potential but played this season more like a cover player for the other guys on the team who were slacking off and Eden Hazard, who i think has only reached 50% of his actual potential. Jose can be blamed for fucking up in a few games, but no manager in the world is perfect. Let's not forget only two season ago, Sir Alex bottled the title with only 4 games to go. It was in the bag and his player's let him down. Our players have let us down this year. Not Jose.. I would sell the entire team and keep Jose if that's what he wanted. Keep the faith boys..

It's awfully awesome!!

Who's debating? Please Re read my post before you cause yourself to have a hernia.

People have the same affection for Torres as they had with Shevchenko. We want them to re find their form and play like the players we once admired but could never support because they were the enemy. I think that's why people always cheered louder when Sheva or Torres would score because after years of admiring them, we could finally call them ours. That's my thought anyway.
