BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 No surprise, Costa is one of few that definately suit Conte style. King11Didier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 If true I'm happy. barring the brain fart against Everton Costa has shown a passion and fighting spirit for the club, Fabregas being another, bring in another top striker to fight out with him for the starting place and that'd be awesome. Fernando and oldportblue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essien19 1,415 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Good news indeed! Media reported Jose wanted him gone, but now we're experiencing different times. 75 mio. seems like a lot of cash but in today's market, is it worth to replace him with someone like Cavani, Higuain or Lukaku? Don't think so and the likes of Lewandowski, Suarez and Benzema aren't available. Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he'd want to join. So yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewy denied Modric the switch for about 50 mil so a few years later i don't think they would sell us their star player. With Chelsea, it's a different story, maybe Real could get Kane for 75 mil.

I really like that team. You can do things with that spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do things with that spine. They play better these days, but over the last weeks they have regressed quite a lot, media likes them, some English lads making the country happy and so on, but let's see where they are going to be next season. Dortmund fucked them badly, yes, genius Poch rested some of them, but it shows that the squad isn't that good. But i agree with you some of the young lads are very exciting to watch.

I'm not saying they can challenge for the CL but it's a good foundation for more. PL is different though. Top teams aren't that strong. But only if they make a couple of smart purchases. I watch Dortmund and they're simply outstanding. That pathetic B-team Spurs fielded could never compete with them so a spanking wasn't shocking. When in form, they can go head to head with the best of teams. Essien19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His movement is still world class and I would have him pronto. Considering you aint too happy with Matic, Hazard etc...I believe you would be pissed at Cavani quite soon if he ever gets here. Inconsistent, misses in big games (except vs chelsea), frustrating player to watch in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, you ran out of strikers that have worked with him You can argue that any one of them was not successful in a certain period, but everyone of them helped Conte win titles (before the Serie A was a walk in the park. Juve were massive underdogs in his first two seasons). My point is, you can't say that from all the strikers that have worked with him only Tevez was his 'style'. LondonsFinest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abreu 14 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Impossible not to be a fan of a player like that , and always of blood every game , even in bad times , can still be participatory and decisive . Unstoppable . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I got so angry when he overlooked Hazard in the 2 vs 3 situation. He lacks a little bit of football IQ sometimes, but still he put in a good performance today and showed fighting spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanicus 5,208 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 He played his heart out today. That's what matters the most, to me at least. Will always like him. Kunter and Essien19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
