This is a long way to come back from but at this moment, I hope it happens.

I don't know why the club is allergic to a good strike force.

Arsenal have Lacazette Giroud Welbeck

Liverpool have Firmino Sturridge Solanke Ings (injured)

United have Lukaku Rashford Zlatan Martial

City have two quality strikers in Aguero Jesus 

Spurs now have Kane Son Llorente

Morata, Batshuayi in comparison is a sham.

he`s ignoring the club..so if I was Roman,being filthy rich I would be tempted to not sell him until next summer. take him out of football for a full season now and scupper his WC selection chances.and continue to not pay his wages until he reported back where I would then have him clean the boots of youth players to earn his salary..Roman paid what £70million for a dogshit ugly painting? he could fuck over Costa for less.

He clearly has bad advisers, whoever they are. Things shouldn't have degraded to this point, even after that text message.

The text message is nothing though, Diego had been told well before that he wasn't wanted, hes just been an absolute bell fucking end.

Would happily take him back, if Conte could swallow his pride. 

His importance cannot be stated enough. Such an ELITE finisher.  

 

I hate those radars and tables. Never have a slightest clue what is going on and how to read them. What's xG ? And how Aguero needs 50 shots to score 0.15 goal ? So he needs well over 300 shots to get one goal ? (50/0.15 > 300)

xG explanation articles: https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/2015/4/10/8381071/football-statistics-expected-goals-michael-caley-deadspin    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/30/expected-goals-big-football-data-leicester-city-norwich    http://statsbomb.com/2013/08/goal-expectation-and-efficiency/

It's nothing to dismiss my man. A lot of the top clubs use these advanced statistics to measure the club's performances. Roman Abramovich is even cited as being a fan of these metrics, I believe Carlo Ancelotti mentioned it in an interview or his new book. 

The graphic is showing this: of all the strikers who have over 50 non-penalty-goals (NPG) over the past 3 seasons, if you took the number of goals they scored over that 3 year span and compared it to the number of expected goals (xG) they were supposed to score, you'll see which strikers outperformed their xG to the highest degree. So Griezmann scored 3.88 times more goals than he was expected to. It's highlighting who the better strikers are at scoring goals from shots that have low probabilities of going in. And to no surprise, Diego Costa is high on the list.
