Dy-lan 142 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Nice phone, for some reasons I always thought most high profile footballers now use a smartphone or typical Iphone/Samsung GalaxyI noticed that too lol. It's like he's stuck in 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Correct me if im wrong, but the Costa fee was paid or agreed before the Luiz sale? So that money from Luiz sale still hasnt been touched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Cerezo, Atleticos president, has denied that any club has met his release clausehttp://futbol.as.com/futbol/2014/06/04/primera/1401899976_140493.htmlSkysports and BBC have reported he had a medical. Its as good as done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Correct me if im wrong, but the Costa fee was paid or agreed before the Luiz sale? So that money from Luiz sale still hasnt been touched?Yes that is why we are going for Fab+Luis as well. Even without Luiz sell we would still have 50-60m min to spend anyway from BPL,TV,CL,sponsors...etc money. Not to forget the wages bill going down massively thanks to the likes of Cole, Lampard...etc leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediator 2,026 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It's something special in Spain.Every player has a release clause in his contract. But when a club from abroad want to trigger it, this club has to pay an extra 40% tax.So may be we will have a "gentlemen" agreement with Atlético to pay 99.99% of his release clause.

Tomo 21,751 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Costa wasn't the team's goal-scorer in 12/13. And I have to say, 10 goals and 7 assists in 24 starts is more than decent considering the circumstances (first year at Atletico, playing in different positions).And since we're going by statistics, 10 goals and 4 assists in 15 starts for Rayo Vallecano in 11/12. Not too shabby.I have a good feeling about this guy. He's had an interesting journey to the top. Seems like he's constantly had to prove himself.And more importantly, he's more than a goal-scorer. Think he'll do fine.That's a good point, the likes of Costa and Drogba battled adversity (in Drogs case life as well as football, have no idea re Costa's childhood backstory) and faced a long hard battle to get to the top. Nando had it made for him at Leti and Liverpool, which goes a long way to explaining why he struggled to cope mentally when thing's started to unravel with us because in football he always had it good.

But when a club from abroad want to trigger it, this club has to pay an extra 40% tax.So may be we will have a "gentlemen" agreement with Atlético to pay 99.99% of his release clause.its also with clubs in spain. the thing is, this "clause" must be deposited by the player, if the clubs dont find an agreement. so chelsea would give 40 m to diego and he would deposit the money in madrid. but if he gets the money, it is rated as an income and it has to be taxed. in most cases though, the clubs find an agreement for example, 39,99999 mio euros, so the clause wont get triggered.

Shane 2,275 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Getting worried about this now. We seem to have some curse on strikers and Costa has only really had one great goalscoring season.Not trying to be negative, but it's vital we keep Lukaku so we have decent back up for him.

boshman 1,073 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 That's exactly what we said we Torres signed.That's not true.... We had Drogba and Anelka. It's not like the situation we have now where no fucker can put the ball in the back of the net consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HD3D 1,038 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Get in! Exiting times ahead, we have a striker!He is very injury-prone and tbh I failed to see him preform in every big game Atletico played. Hopefully we keep Lukaku just in case.Now just get rid of Torres, Etoo and Ba and everything is perfect. Make it a 3 for the price of 1 pack.
