bababoom 4,478 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I still cant believe he's only 25, he's got to be one of the oldest looking 25 years old ever Daniel1980 and Blue-in-me-Veins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 How can they not? They aren't contractually obligated to their countries. Carlos Vela continues to decline call ups to Mexico.Technically there's no contract but some kind of "soft law" meaning you're refusing the highest honor in the life of a professional footballer.

Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted September 29, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted September 29, 2014 While I do not doubt for one moment that Costa is having the hamstring problem, can't help but to think that Mourinho is trying to protect him from the media pressure if he suddenly stops scoring by constantly emphasizing on the injury issue. Good management, if that's what Mourinho is really trying to do. The Skipper, kellzfresh, LondonsFinest and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmin 2,484 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 That's how Costa works on his chemistry with Fabregas :Sometimes I forget Costa is only 25. When I see him behave like a kid, I always go, "Huh?" before remembering that he's actually younger than Cesc and Willian. So he's 25, looks like he's 35, but sometimes behaves like he's 15 Imagine if he was playing for Arsenal. He would already be out for the next 6 months or so. Thank God we have a great medical staff. I hope he doesn't get the call from Del Bosque. Daniel1980 and Blue-in-me-Veins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, my idea on him starting is that Mou wants the harmstring to be ...how can I say it... pushed to the limit, in order for him to be able to deny to call for Spain NT. Atleast, it seems a bit logical to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 When Jose says he is injured and then he starts I think yeah mind games but he looks laboured so perhaps its an injury contributing to that.Now we have a proper striker its like having an egg in your pocket when skiing, protect him!No idea why I just thought of that but you get what I mean RoyalBlues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Jose's only doing this so we can sell him to Liverpool in a couple of years for £50m. sweet revenge and all that Roquila 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yeah, just feels it is a little bit strange, from hamstring, score 2, hamstring, score 3, can't train, score 1. Whether he is really clinical or Jose trolling there Nah, I know he is quality. Hope he could get fully fit soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2005 he announced that Duff couldn't even stand on his feet. Next evening, he was in the starting eleven against Barcelona.We better don't believe a word of his.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Tbf if you are a top player you don't really need to be fully fit all the time, as long as you are still doing well when you are fit enough to play. Ribery, Robben, Van Persie, Aguero, Sturridge, Kompany...etc are not exactly always injury free but they always perform well when playing. That is what I think Costa will do for us.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I am pretty confident Jose is trying to make sure Costa doesn't get called up for the next international break. And even if he does, he has an excuse to hold him back. Sidzeret and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChelseaDane 48 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 How did he play today? How many clear chance did he miss?He had a 1on1 with the goalie after 2-3 minutes, which he missed. All in all an approved game from him. The man is an absolute monster! RoyalBlues and Bluelsthecolour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
