Diego Costa

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I thought he was good yesterday. Had he scored you would all be shitting rainbows again about how quality he is smh.

I agree, whilst I think he was looking for a fight on Saturday, in general, considering he was feeding off scraps, he didn't do too badly. Delaney did a superb job on him.

I was wondering why people never saw that since he first joined, now suddenly everyone is saying it and I don't feel like I'll be cruficied for saying "Costa's a fackin man baby" :'D

Glorious days.

Nor will you get crucified for questioning Mourinho anymore.

Who remembers this moment haha. We win the game if Drogba was in that position, simplest pass ever.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Poor lad he gets so many cards he cant keep up with them all.

He just isn't built to play for Spain. I was raging last night with their midfielders killing the game with pointless passing while Diego was running around like he's punished Such a big shame to me not to see him play for Brazil

I wonder if torres will get back into the La Roja. He has looked somewhat decent at atletico

[Special Juan 27,424]

Dread to think which DC may turn up Saturday. Can see frustrations mounting to a point he does something stupid.

Would like to see Costa the striker and the media talk about his football afterwards.

I can't stand the thought that he will likely be our main striker for the foreseeable future. He's simply not worth the drama and baggage he brings with him and we should be doing much better than him.

For spain probably.

Costa definitely does not fit in their style of play.

He is the 2nd best striker on the planet behind Suarez and what drama and baggage? he never gets red cards, other then the 'stamp' which I dont think was even deliberate I don't see the problem.

The guy is a world class striker, and I am so happy he plays for us.

Nearly choked on these noodles I'm eating when I read that lmao.

He'd be lucky to make Top 5. A striker that cannot adapt to Spain's system (keep in mind Torres who's way past his prime is their top scorer in their last 3 tournaments) is the 2nd best in the World lol.

Top 5 Strikers in the world.

1. Suarez

2. Costa

3. Lewandowski

4. Aguero

5. Ibrahimovic

your football knowledge is simply shocking if you think Costa isn't top 5

[Pacquiao 1,834]

So you can't back up the stupid comment you made, what else is new.

what have I just read? surely this isn't serious.

so you are saying Costa can't adapt to Spain, when he hasn't even played 10 games for them yet, and in most games Costa has done well even though they don't play to his strength's.

in Major tournaments Spain tend to be a bit more direct in the final third and play those through balls earlier, which is what benefitted Torres. I will ignore the 2014 WC though as Spain as a team were just a mess.

Euro 2016 I expect Costa to shine and challenge for the Golden boot. As for him not being top 5 and your only argument to back that up is saying he can't be top 5 because he hasn't adapted to Spain really shows how weak your argument is.

2nd best striker in the world ?? sorry cant agree with this.

Aguero, Suarez, Ibra, Lewa, Benzema are all better IMO..

That's not to say I dont rate him, I like him a lot and I'm happy that he's playing for us.
