YouNameIt 1,511 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Just to remind everyone who seems to have forgotten some key facts.Diego Costa has 41 goals & 14 assists in his last three seasons in La Liga, and for one of those he was not even playing as a striker. For another, he was playing in Rayo which is not exactly a top team. He has also scored and provided assists (and had some of his better games) against teams likes Real, Barcelona or Sociedad in the league. In CL he has scored against Porto and Milan (and others), teams that might not be the absolute elite but that are still worth mentioning.Many of those goals have come from sheer will as much as anything else.He has brute strength, he can finish, he can pass, he has an amazing work rate, is a team player, can head the ball well and is great off the ball. Why exactly would he be a bad purchase? There is a difference between there being better strikers in the world, and there being better strikers available for a reasonable price.He does not have a serious injury that could threaten his impact in the league, he still has his best years ahead of him, he is versatile in terms of positioning and would cost £32m which is very reasonable.Forget Mandzukic, Falcao or Cavani. This is the only striker that we need to buy. Costa and Lukaku would be an excellent set of strikers, the best one we have had for quite a long time. Add Shaw and Gundogan (if MVG does not recover) and there is no limit to what our very young squad can accomplish.Statistics can make Torres look like a top striker. Thats the beauty of numbers..Costa is a cunt. Wouldnt want him here even for 10m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Statistics can make Torres look like a top striker. Thats the beauty of numbers..Costa is a cunt. Wouldnt want him here even for 10m. Which numbers make Torres seem like a top striker? No one is just showing one aspect while hiding another, statistics can be very revealing if you know how to use them.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 He's in that very special place where he just finishes without thinking about it. Very direct, very hard-working and strong. Needs to cut out the diving but he's performed very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Those of you calling for Manduzvic, can you now see how overrated he is? Never rated him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGuerreiro 252 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just scored again, in off the post. Really like the look of him. Also I haven't noticed any of his "cunt-iness" that people have been raving around. Balotelli on the other hand has been whining about everything.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The only top quality striker out there that we have a realistic chance of signing. I still haven't heard any noises from his people that he wants to leave though. Unless we make Atletico an offer they can't refuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo11bluecl 207 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Mandzukic for 20m-25m or Costa 32m? I know who we should get... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never rated him at all. oh and by the looks of it, you could also say that ribery is overrated and probably robben too. really logical to judge a player by 1 game. maybe you look up Mandzukics stats?Costa is a good striker. dont think that he is worth 32 m though. but seems to be our only realistic target...

duo11bluecl 207 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Ancelotti explained it best. chelsea don't look to release the striker to run on goal like Liverpool do. one of the reasons why strikers don't score for fun at chelseaKind of hard seeing as many of the strikers played for us over the year never had that amazing pace. We never had a Aguero, a Liverpool Torres, a Messi, a Ronaldo, a Benzema, Suarez and so on...to play like that. We had Sturridge but AVB always played him on the wing and Robbie was an idiot for dropping him completely. He could have been the one for us but ah well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though he hasnt scored much in the CL, he was one of the most important players in the cl winning campaign and was playing great. futhermore he scored in the CL final.And I wasnt comparing him to Costa. Was only talking about that everybody can have a bad game and Bayern werent good in general today, especially after the 1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always the chance he's another Dzeko who fails to replicate his form in the Premier League.Of course Costa could be the same, but Atletico strikers seem to travel well (Aguero and Torres).
