Idk if it's the way we play but man Costa was awesome at the start of the season. 

Lukaku's goals seemed pretty average 

Really? I have to disagree lukaku is a fantastic finisher be good to compare them missing lol

£30m for a GK would be a lot of money, if they didnt expect big funds coming in

It would be also nice to have a striker that can pop them outside of penalty area, sadly Lukaku is nothing special there.

I think he has this in his locker, he has a very powerful shot, and has also shown he is capable of placing shots on his right and left foot into the top corner from ~25 yards out. 

The goals from 11:58-12:15 show what I'm talking about, whoever he plays for over the coming seasons wouldn't be surprised to see him score more screamers.

His heading is poor. Especially for someone for his stature.

A classic stereotypical and outdated view on Lukaku's style. This is literally the description of Costa who's heading stats are pathetic despite his frame. Lukaku 3-4 years ago was the same, now he's a bonafide aerial threat. Everton use this / used to use this to their advantage with Deulofeu's and Bolasie's main assists usually crosses onto Lukaku's head.

If costa was put in the everton team would he even be able to get 15 goals. I bet you not.

This guy could have scored 30+ goals this season because not striker in the league was getting the amount of chances he was getting.

If harry kane was playing for us i bet he would have broken the record for goals in a season. 

Costa is alright but for the service that recieves, he is poor. Look at the game against Palace last season the one we lost. That was the match that convinced me this would be his last season. I could count up to about 15 crosses into the box and even the goals he likes to score most(tap ins) he couldn,t even do that.

Here is all 26 goals he scored for Everton this season.

 

Now compare that to the quality of goals Costa scored.

 

what i like about lukaku's goals are the fact that he goes solo on 40% of his goals but still fights of every one to score. Costa did it like twice against Mancity and west brom. 

Unfortunately for lukaku the guy who was assisting him often at the beginning of the season, Bolasie got injured in November if not i am certain he would have beaten Kane to the Golden boot. Lucky for Costa, there were no major injuries to the likes of hazard to affect his goal scoring.

Like i said Costa scored goals because of the amount of service he got even lukaku didnt get half of.those. After all the system we played was because af the players we had. I would be expecting a 3-5-2 next season.

 The goals Costa scored were absolute quality, most of them came off difficult finishing. No idea how you draw the conclusion that Costa scored because of the amount of service he got. Lukaku scored a lot more tap ins and with little ease. He scored some good goals but you are clearly misteaken with your assessment.

Look Chelsea are going to play in tight spaces and against stacked defenses. What you consider solo goals are mainly open spaces against a defender or two, those are not the opportunities Chelsea get with ease. Instead you have to be patient and link up in order to break down defenses.

YES THATS WHAT CHELSEA NEED. We have hazard pedro and willian and fabregas to score those goals. i am talking about what i liked about costa before and it is those close range tap ins and the 1 top goals  but somehow costa seems to have forgotten how and is now trying to score those cheeky goals. For example the goal that won us the title(Bats goal) those are the goals i am talking about. We have to many players at the moment scoring the spectacular we need the guy who will score the 3 tap ins within a match not the guy who score one goal and then is satified.

Conte actually begun to piss me off last season because if costa scores you just have to take him of cause to him he has done his job whether we are winning or loosing. so most often than not he becomes a passenger.

The ONLY thing that matters realy is how will our next striker linkup with teammates, because at the end of the day, we will need to score goals that way. There wont be much space.

Be it Lukaku or someone else, if he isnt quality enough on technical and link up level, wont matter if he scores 40 goals per season, we wont win shit against top sides.

And regarding Lukaku, he will need to put it few gears up if he is about to play under Conte, no one will accept his low workrate during games.

I think Conte will work wonders with this lad lukaku gives us a greater Ariel threat as well which helps up because most teams new last season most of the time we wasn't going to cross we would try cut inside next season that all changes. Yes Diego could score with his head blah blah blah before some one points out a afew goals, am just saying lukaku is more of a threat

Aerial? No doubt. On the ground? Big question.

Why isit a big question lol he scored more goals then Costa this season in that Everton team with the likes off fab hazard Pedro around him it's going to be good to watch but that's just my opinion

Lukaku scored more goals because the entire Everton team was sending all the balls to him. Heck the entire team was build around him. No chance Chelsea will build the team around Lukaku. If he gets to 20 in all competitions we should consider ourselves lucky.

What your saying he scored more goals because people passed to the striker to score goals???? strikers are there to put the ball in the net costa had balls left right n centre he just missed half the time or went for a dive. What makes u think lukaku won't score for fun in this team? People will pass to him here U know haha.
