didierforever 7,349 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 so from now on, every striker signing will be started with "what if he does a torres". brilliant. judge a signing on what torres has done rather than seeing for urself how different the players are in style, fight, passion and almost every bloody sense.some posters footballing knowldge is exactly 0.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 torres was picking up hamstring injuries every month , costa just got one at the end of a tough season , like hazard's one that kept him out of the europa league final. only difference is we let him rest instead of expecting him to heal in a week.Yes, the thing is HOW do we know this isn't a start of Costa hamstring issue? he has really been injured since that game against Barca in CL in April and now nearly 2 months he still hasn't fully recovered. How do we know it won't happen again in 3 weeks at WC for him?(if he does go). Torres was so similar with Costa at Atletico this season is that he was over reliance on and as a result overplayed, exactly like Costa is atm. No one is saying we should not sign him, we are simply suggesting it would be better to play safe and do the deal after the WC especially with his clause not going anywhere. Or is that too long and we must have that bright shiny announcement of a expensive player this week?so from now on, every striker signing will be started with "what if he does a torres". brilliant. judge a signing on what torres has done rather than seeing for urself how different the players are in style, fight, passion and almost every bloody sense.some posters footballing knowldge is exactly 0.The context is similar so people are being paranoid, considering we signed 2 messed up expensive strikers before this.

bushman 2,043 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Forever, Can you tune us in on your footballing know how? Lol. Some people are concerned about Costa's injuries. Why is this so hard to believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this so hard to believe?just like everyone was convinced demba ba's knee was set to explode. and all he got was a broken nose. if there really is a problem, then we wont sign him...hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 We have the world cup to assess Costa........ if he starts..In 2010, people could see the fall of Torres at the world cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that´s a concern to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-3001 286 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I think we're just being over-cautious about Costa's Hamstring injury. Grade 1 isn't too bad, 2-3 weeks and you are back to your full fitness in a week. Though yes, Hamstring injuries can happen repeatedly, a prime example is Sergio Aguero around the closing stages of the season. So I think there's just a little panic, and I don't blame anyone. He'll be a good signing for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Costa was injured, approximately 2 years ago for almost 6 months. Now, that´s a concern to me.For ACL right? Those aren't as bad as they used to be, especially when you're young. With everyones thought process on here we should sell.Hazard before he gets hurt again because it could be a recurring thing. Let's not get Vidal cause he's probably been injured before. Modric too, Shaw could get injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyfreshh 164 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Maybe we can get cavani still.. Costa would be a great signing tho. The costa injury has me worried a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Grade 1 injury isn't career threatening or bad. I have grade 2 and it has taken me 2-3 months to heal, but Costa has million dollar doctors, so he should be fine by world cup season.

The thing is that why so many are ignorant to the fact that we just conned PSG into 50m for Luiz, they are not mugs they know Cavani is a 40-50m striker so they will do what we did with Mata and Luiz.

iseah100 5,612 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thank God you are very concerned about injuries. Are you a doctor by any chance?Of sorts, yes. Cavani has also been injured a couple times, so we should stay away from him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
