Polo7 3,496 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Lol. Some people seem to forget we went through last season with 3 nobodies in attack.Costa only scores tap ins apparently, well Torres cant even fucking do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,914 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Costa is not a world class striker, he is overrated and people keep defending him like he is Pele. He is not a striker that can create something out of none where like Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo, Suarez and so on. Most of his goals are simple tap ins. He is not a big game player, and had a bad attitude.I have to agree with this to be honest.He doesn't really have that "it" factor about him like Suarez, RvP, Aguero and those guys who just about every time they get the ball you're expecting something special to happen. He doesn't score any spectacular or magical goals where he creates some magic out of nowhere. Just about all of his goals are pretty simple ones.All of them count the same, though. I do think he's clearly a level below those top strikers. He's not the type of player who can single handedly win you a match even if your side is playing like shit like RvP did for United and Arse a couple of seasons ago.

The Chels 2,502 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Costa is not a world class striker, he is overrated and people keep defending him like he is Pele.

He is not a big game player, and had a bad attitude.Next season if we can't break a team down we will probably be relying on Hazard again for individual brilliance. Not saying that Costa is a bad player, but no-one there is on Hazard's level and like you say I don't think Costa can make something out of nothing like the best strikers. He's also bound to get himself suspended for large parts of the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Good thing he isn't a big match player, we clearly need small game players so we can avoid dropping points to West Brom, West Ham and fucking Sunderland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 How come no one is biaching about Costa pk call like yesterday's Fred pk? because Spain lost by 4 goals. Last thing anyone cares about is the one goal Spain scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 We should sell Azpilicueta, freaking awful today ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono 791 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Can we honestly say he is significantly better than Lukaku ? To the point that we should pay 32m for him when we have Lukaku ? I am very scared because this seems like another disaster signing waiting to happen when we are still barely recovering from the Torres debacle.

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 You guys forget something very important. ------------------ Cillessen ---------------------- de Vrij ------- Vlaar -------- Indi -----Janmaat --------- Costa ------------ Blind(Iniesta) -- De Jong - de Guzman - (Silva)------------- (Xavi) ----------- (Xabi) ---------------------------- (Sergio) --------------------------------------- Sneijder -------------------Call him a one-season wonder, but Van Gaal had Del Bosque in his pocket hereJanmaat - IniestaBlind - SilvaDe Jong and De Guzman - Xavi and XabiSneijder - Sergiode Vrij, Vlaar and Martins Indi - Diego CostaStill a PK in his favour and possibly a goal if David Silva would have passed the ball to him, instead of trying that fucking chip over Cillessen.

I am very scared because this seems like another disaster signing waiting to happen when we are still barely recovering from the Torres debacle.I think letting Lukaku leave would be a disaster either way. But Chelsea needs more than just Lukaku, and Torres or Ba are not good enough. There's not certainties in football, but I think Chelsea could do very well with someone like Costa, we need more players that wants to win no matter the cost.

De_ChrapQaa 192 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I have mixed feelings after reading couple last pages, so do we want a striker or fucking not? if we are scared to sign him because there's a possibility he'll flop then we might aswell keep torres as no.1, that'd teach you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm slightly concerned by his performance tonight and then they put Torres on instead?? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well spain were the better team in the first half, after he came off, spain turned to complete shit. No more runners for iniesta/silva to pass to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more runners for iniesta/silva to pass toYeah strange that it kinda summed up our last season Statue up front - to be fair to the statue it did have 3 distinct poses:1) Nowhere near the ball or goal2) enjoying total relaxation on the floor3) grumbling to the Ref that it wanted to spend more time in position 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liuxas 125 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah i'm really confuse after this match. now thinking maybe he's really one season player. Maybe we shouldn't pay huge amount of money for Diego. It might be safer to buy Mandzukic for 18-20 mln €. And just wait for new prospective striker from Porto or Ajax.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Guys stop with the kneejerk reactions...Costa had poor game, made great runs, but poor touch. However it was one game and this spanish style doesnt realy suit him at all. As anyone I would prefer someone like Cavani, Rvp or Suarez, but such players arent available unfortunely.Botom line he is one big cunt though and I blame him bit for not picking Brasil (he has milions of angry brailians on neck now). And I generaly dont like players who turn against their own teams (like Torres or Cesc) because there is so much hate towards them and that affects whole team. Anyway if he can score goals and dont get red card every game, I would gladly take him. He doesnt have that nice style and world class abilities ala Rvp but he can score and he can make defenders shit in pants and thats what we need.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Actually hope we haven't completely tied up the deal and lets wait and see how Jackson Martinez/Balotelli and Mandzukic are doing then reassess our choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
