CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Am I the only one who still doesn't believe that we're actually trying to sign him. It just makes so little sense regardless of whether Diego leaves or stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 And please give me a fucking break! Anyone who doesn't feel a strike force of Costa, Michy and Lukaku won't give the premier league fits! Ya but we're better off with 9 goals Morata at 75m.... Tongue the back of my balls with that offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Costa is instant starter and if we gonna pay 70 mil for Lukaku sure he should start and that front line would not work together.

Lukaku is also a threat in the air and much faster. They can work together its just not the ideal partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 No thanks. Costa is better than he is and we will certainly lose money overall on swapping them out. Costa has been loyal to the club since he joined; and these exit rumours simply exist to destabilise him. Lukaku on the other hand...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The best scenario if this is all true, and I mean Costa going and Romelu coming is we pair Romelu and Batshuyahi. Having those 3 together means someone is going to be benched, I do not want to see MB benched as I really think he's going to be brilliant.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 We will have 3 strikers for two positions not 3 strikers for 1... Michy will see plenty of action while he gets acclimatized to the Prem. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That his style of play is not at all suited to playing next to another striker. Lukaku doesn't play well with his back to goal, he moves to create chances for himself, not space for his teammates and his link up play is rather weak. If it were up to me, I'd take Diego and, by what little I've seen of him, even Batshuayi just in front of Hazard in a two man strike force. Blue Armour, Belgiannutt, The Mak and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world this is true, you'd want a more technically gifted partner up front. I'll leave it right there though, I still think a Costa/Lukaku partnership would cause all sorts of problems in the prem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I've seen had our strikers playing off the shoulders of defenders looking to get in behind. That part of Lukaku's game is undeniable, he is an absolute nightmare in this instance. I will also agree his link up is poor but if the scenario of having Lukaku and Costa marauding in and around the 18 while being serviced by Hazard, Cesc and Willian isn't appealing I can't be sure what you guys are looking for from our 4-2-4 system? He's homegrown, a Chelsea supporter, he's scored a boatload of goals already.... What striker in world football can say that they've scored 50 premier league goals before turning 23? Have you seen the going rate for strikers these days? Morata scored 9 goals last year and Real Madrid want 75m for him.... LOL. Its not the perfect scenario but given our already shaky association status and Costa's injury woes, coupled with our inability to score last year I'm finding it hard to have a problem with Costa and Lukaku with Michy coming off the bench. Unionjack and Thor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
