Adrian Clarke might have a point here...

"Costa's made this up, 100 per cent he's made it up," Clarke said on talkSPORT.

"Why would a manager text someone 'you're not in my plans'? I'm not having it, why would a manager do that? You would at least phone them up.

"I just don't buy that that would happen. I'm saying Costa wants to leave and he is just trying to accelerate the process, manufacture, accelerate, however way you want to say it.

"The problem for him is Atletico Madrid are not allowed to sign players and he wants to go to Atletico Madrid.

"He wants to now let everyone else know 'I'm available, I want to go'."

Costa: 'My relationship with the coach has been bad this season.'

My take on this is that according to Costa they didn't get along since the first minute, not much to do with january. Personally i think this narrative that Costa had been so poor in the second half of the season seems a bit too stretched. The numbers in goals regressed, but overall he was the focal point and allowing others to do their thing. Reminds me of how Big Benz is about business. Matic had some great games too, i wouldn't call his overall impact as you've mentioned: 'proper shitty job'.

If you look long enough, you can find a stick with whom you can beat anyone, meaning: not long ago Terry went to the media and started a public outcry of why he didn't get a new contract. I respect John Terry and what he's done for club and country, but when it fits his case, he'll do anything, similar to Costa. This time around it was best for him to keep his mouth shut -he's finished, so he happily played along.

For Conte it could've been over for a long time, but if you part ways, it should be done in person. You can spin it how you want, text massage is highly unprofessionell and that's lacking courage and balls for me. I appreciate how Conte acts like a hard man on the sidelines, but you've gotta live up to it behind closed doors.

What i agree with you on is that's a two way street. The inside knowledge is limited, most of us -me included don't know the full story yet. It's speculation, but because i think Costa speaks from heart and doesn't come across as someone who knows how to play his cards, someone like Fabregas, so far i'm valueing his words higher.

Allowing others to do which thing ? As far as I remember, he was mainly destroying others initiatives to do something, Costa lost the least amount of technique he had when he first came, at one point this season, he was truely embarrassing but Conte had no other options. Matic had some great games, and was for the major part of the season, observing how others will actually score past us, defensively he was very poor, I dont have stats or so to help my argument, but If you watched all the games, it doesnt take an incredible amount of football geniuses to identify how useless he was on the back, especially when you see how helpful Kante was to our defence, there is such a glaring lack of interest in actually do some proper defending from the serbian, he did a good covering space but thats it, he was our worst player this season and fairly deserved the bench, Fabregas got 11 assist while barely playing full 90 min, and for me, its enough to actually be the starter. 

I believe Conte doesnt act, I think he is as hard with himself as with everyone, but again, I'm assuming.

[DDA 9,938]

Thank fuck. I seriously couldn't bare the thought of another season having this selfish fuck up top.

It's been a time to get rid of this idiot. Just when you think there's only one idiot like Mario Balotelli you get to know Diego Costa. 

[the wes 7,212]

Thank you Costa and good night 🌃

This will become a huge soap opera.

Conte sent a goodwill message to all his players wishing them a happy time with their families and reminding them to stay in shape. [Mail]

Costa fired off a reply, enough to irritate Conte who sent back the text which left him in no doubt that he wasn’t part of his plans. [Mail]

The text exchange was reported to the club by Costa who received a message from Granovskaia telling him to leave negotiations to her. [Mail]

I think it's all bollocks just a way for Costa to upset every one enough so that he will deffo be sold he's an absolute Muppet in my eyes and I hope he goes club will be much better off without that tit causing problems behind the scenes 

[Artandur 939]

This is getting maddening. I hope he's off quick and this thing doesnt become a dark cloud over our complete window.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

What an absolute wankstain.

I know his goals were crucial to our title win, but bloody hell this is ridiculous! Who in the hell does he think he is?!

Get rid. Bring in someone who actually wants to be here.

I'm actually curious to what bluelyon would say to somehow pass the blame to the club/ the media/ conte/ the universe/ the aliens 

Costa makes baloteli look likes a saint, a true master in pissing everyone off act

You've got to be kidding me. Embarrassing? You know what's really embarrassing? You're basically okay with Diego holding the club at ransom... he clearly doesn't want to be here, why do you continue to defend him like this? 

FYI, Diego hasn't been that good in big games since 14/15. Stop acting like he's amazing in them. 

Thing is...we've made allowances for contributing players before...

Drogba has thrown tantrums,..after Mourinho left.., when Phil was here and not to mention the red card in the CL final..

We stuck with him and see where that got us...

If Conte sees someone better than Costa coming in to do a better job, then that's fine....but otherwise, I think the club bosses should just bite their lips and do everything in their power to hold onto him.

Its not just a case of a player leaving. Costa gets along superbly well with his team-mates, the Spanish/Brazilian contingent, and not to mention Hazard. Granted it was a low blow to make this public, but I don't know how this would affect the team chemistry when they learn of this revelation... I think this situation could have been handled more carefully by the player and his bosses. All said and done, Costa's season is FAR from bad as a player. 20 goals, a lot of them really crucial to our points tally, and earned us our PL title, and nearly got us back in to the FA cup final.

If Conte's idea of replacement is just Lukaku, I will be extremely worried going ahead into the new season.

Are you kidding? Are you high? Did you just absolutele turn a blind eye into what has been posted in this thread? Are you telling the club to just suck it after a player shove a middle finger into their face in a worst possible way? What if he decides to get a red card every game instead of continue to play for us if we keep him? What? What?

I'm seriously question your logic.

[Georgy 439]

Of course it had to happen to us again  Why can't we have a quiet window we're we get all our first targets and avoid all the drama. Hope it's solved fast so we can forget Costa ever played for us and move on to other position besides a striker.

[quickpassnmove 924]

I'm so happy this lousy cunt is leaving. good riddance.

dont compare drogba era to now. back then chelsea didnt have a reputation and were building one. Back then drogba is the best we could get. So yea we had to manage.

Post champions league era we are now qualified to chase the likes of morata, Mbappe, Dani Alves and we are qualified to land people like hazard and even pedro. So we won't tolerate such nonsense from costa. Its high time we treat some of our players like how we treat our coaches by sacking them when needed

This is priceless. Bravo Antonio! You can all thank to Diego Costa for talking to media, it's not Antonio's fault.

A lot of payers get this kind of messages (be it via SMS or MMS, you need to get that info sooner rather than later, and we even don't know the full story), but only Costa did what he did. Why? Because he is Costa. Not ours, soon.  

It's not really important who will come in, Lukaku, Morata,... someone decent surely will - CHELSEA JUST SHOWN WHY WE ARE A BIG CLUB, CLUB THAT WILL NEVER BE SOMEONE'S BITCH!

Like arsenal is to Ozil and Sanchez

Im not the kind of guy that changes opinion (in this case football releated) on player instantly after reading some bs in media or seeing certain player perform poor for a while. Its a fact that Costa has brought plenty of good to Chelsea, the club I supported through most of my life. There are plenty of celebrations and joy surrounding my memories of Costa, something Im not willing to ditch just because media stirs the shit. That goes for every player I supported or shared positive/negative opinion. It has to convince me otherway to change it, or I will stick to it. 

Im certainly not the guy you can sell me something I already have opinion on

Now, indeed I also never believed Costa could be such a dick that media makes him look like, but I may just be biased towards Costa in this case. 

I said many times Im fine though with selling Costa, for benefit of club as he is unstable, if we find equaly good or better striker. What got into me is the shit some people throw at Costa after all the good he did for this club.

Obviously if he is actualy acting like a dick that media shows him, then so be it, Im wrong about him and needs to leave asap. We can point out on Conte for messaging?! Costa he doesnt count on him no longer too, but obviously Costa is making unnecessary circus around whole situation that is hurting club. I would say both sides have done mistake. 

However Im still waiting for an answer, a proof that Costa indeed wanted to go to China after he recently said that was not an option because he wants to play in WC, yet everyone ignoring that and keeps saying he started playing bad in january because we didnt allow him to leave to china and on top he apparently hates Chelsea, despite clearly showing on pitch he cares for the club. 

The only thing proven was his desire to return to Atletico which was interviewed. He also said he likes Chelsea alot, but not London. Is that something so hard to understand? Every footballer is a human too, just because he gets millions, doesnt mean he must act all professional when his personal life in London doesnt suit him at all. If thats the case sell him and be done with. 

On current matter, he is showing once again he is a loose cannon and we need to sell him, but honestly you dont text someone after 3 years that you dont need him. If it was me, I wouldnt take it calmly either. The situation was badly dealt by both Costa and Conte (or the board).
