Nothing wrong with what he did!

hes just proving a point that letting him go was a stupid decision - which it was? 

Not really. He wouldn't start ahead of Costa hence wouldn't be on the form he is.

The way he celebrated today was disgusting I thought. We paid the 18m and brought him to this league, show some respect. Prick!

Fully disagree. He did not celebrate over-exuberantly at all and even if he did, I would not have a problem seeing that we continued to loan him out then sell him. If anything when Terry scored an OG, he was the only Everton player really who seemed to not join in. He just slowly walked over. I think a lot of it was disappointment because he would have scored if Terry did not hit it into his own net but still I have respect for him. He never speaks a bad word about us or Mourinho when he really has a right to imo.

Who actually cares? He can do whatever he wants to. I'd celebrate like a madman if I scored a goal like a against Chelsea. That team is out there to beat me, I'm out there to beat them. Forget the sentimentality of it all, the only people who will get upset are anally retentive people on the internet typing abuse and drunk bastards up in the stands hurling vitriol. I'd put myself, my gains and my career over any club, especially a lot of fans and most would just as quickly boo me as they would cheer me. I wouldn't insult anyone or stir shit up but I'd celebrate when good things happen to me.

I wouldn't be upset if Fabregas celebrated against Arsenal, nor would I be upset if Mata celebrated against Chelsea. I've got bigger things to worry about like scratching my arse.

He has turned in a complete striker. And he is still far for his prime. In a couple years will be an absolute beast.

IF Costa leaves then we just have to get this guy next season!

Yes, but he would have added depth to the squad and/or like Anelka used to - we could have played him out wide using his pace... I mean anything is better than Pedro, even MARIN!!!!

Really? Anderlecht could use that dough now. Please send it anyway. ^^

Massive exaggeration, Pedro's been average but Marin was like a kid who won a competition to play for Chelsea for a season.

I would say 'exaggeration' - massive - is a big too far - Pedo is diabolical!

Even Cuadrado wasworld class compared to Marin, that's how bad Marko was, I usually give players At least 6 month worth of games before writing them off but he was so so shit.

I do hope he goes on to have the best career he can have, but as far as the here and now goes, I can't say I'm unhappy that Costa's return to scoring form has coincided with a dip for Romelu after the crap that was getting spouted pre Christmas when it was the other way round.

And apart from you and a few others now this thread is like a graveyard

What do you want/expect people to say though? He has had a mini drought. Big deal. People should start suddenly start coming into the thread and talking about that? The thing is he is still only 22, has 19 goals already for the season, 15 of those in the league. At this rate he should easily get past 20 league goals which is a fantastic achievement.

It's not the fact he's having a goal drought its the fact that while Lukaku was scoring an Costa wasnt Costa was getting  constantly slated and this thread was getting invaded with comments basically saying Costa is average and we should have kept Lukaku instead (although tbf the two main culprits are banned now).

Come on pal. What is the irony? 4 games without scoring? Or is it something else.

Fair enough. I always praised Lukaku but I never slated Costa off. I come in here and give him compliments when he performs well but I also do the same with Costa. But as you said it was mainly DF who always use to slate Costa. I have always been a big fan of Costa. One thing I did mention in here though when Costa was not really performing is that I think Lukaku has improved his overall game and he now his an all round striker. Good thing is Costa is showing a lot of these traits again now. Looks beastly.

One thing I have noticed he has improved on considerably is his one touch passing with his back to goal, this time last year giving him the ball in that situation was effectively giving the opposition the ball back.
