Diego Costa

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

I really hope he doesn't want to leave. He has only been here for 2 seasons but hes already idolized by the fans and it would be a huge miss because when hes on his game there aren't many better strikes in England let alone Europe bar the obvious ones. Like people have mentioned in previous comments he is one of our most important players and personally I feel he offers things that Remy, Pato, Falcao and Traore don't. If he goes who do we honestly replace him with? Higuain? Cavani? There aren't that many top strikers these days unfortunately so if he goes it could take us back to the days of seeing guys like Torres and Demba Ba starting...

So, according to this "pundit", his behaviour at Chelsea "shows that he wants to leave Chelsea" and return to Atletico Madrid where he "had exactly the same behaviour".

Knowing the FA, they'll still ban him for 10 games for "looking threatening."

Count me in as one who doesn't care what happens with this player. I think we'd do better to get Ighalo in ASAP this summer window.

Costa isn't a leader but I think he wants everything his way. Also, he's not as strong as people think/thought he is.

 

Imbula, Kouyate and Ighalo look like candidates for summer spending to me.

If i would support another club i would really appreciate it if Diego would go back to Spain. It must be so unpleasant to take him on, bah.

He's one of the best strikers in the game, always giving his all, sometimes he goes to far but that shows that he puts everything at stake for his current club.

It's all about winning, the winner takes it all, don't give a fuck about morality and 'sportsmanship', put the ball into the net no matter what.

We all pay our hard earned money to see him doing what he's best at: scoring goals!

Proper Chels' and for the record, he consistenly gets the shit kicked out of him, defenders target him all the time and try to fuck him up badly, but the refs don't care.

Finally we've found a successor to king Drogba, Costa must stay, for me after Terry's gone, he is the most important player at this club.

He leads the line, he leads us into battle! Diego is the man!

Ighalo? Really? Suppose we might as well buy Vardy and Troy Deeney too then. Ighalo is decent but hes not good enough to lead the line for Chelsea. At least those 3 could rival Torres and Ba for worse strike force of the last 10 years.

He's done a fine job for the most part in most two years, but we need someone better to help us be a force on all front again

Apart from Agueo and Suarez there is no forward around right now that would be a guaranteed upgrade, and neither are remotely attainable.

Any other striker would be a sideways move (in terms of level they are at) at best and there's very few of them either.

Deeney would be a good back up with Traore, his all round game is top class would defiantly trade Remy for him.

Ighalo however we shouldn't go near, good scorer but all roundgamee leaves a lot to be desired.

Looks good technically and is strong. I still don't see many strikers out there to buy at the right age, with ability, experience and potential, strength and a good scoring record (accurate shooter).

Let's not act like he doesn't deserve it

When you're winding up people all the time yourself it's simply bound to happen that you'll get a taste of your own medicine. From the "new generation" Costa's one of only a few players I can actually "bond" with but the fact that he can't go 3-4 games in a row without getting involved in non-football stuff on the pitch is even worrying to me. The guy's 27, at what point does he calm down?

[Special Juan 28,139]

Needs to start reigning it like now. You can be big and hard when the balls in play by giving the op a tough time and a cunt against them by scoring.

Enough of all this controversy and billy big balls.

[AWorriedChelseaFan 151]

Deserved to be sent off against Everton. Need to sort his shitty ''hard-man'' attitude out. It's not working anymore lads. What were he thinking going for the neck bite vs Barry ? LMAO.

 

He was the biggest fool on the pitch vs Everton, next to Cahill.

He can dish it out so he surely has to be able to take some punches, you've got your point, but sometimes it goes beyond that.

Two-footed tackle, it could be the case its coming from behind, ellbows.

In the end he could be badly hurt, some words can't be the reason for it, out of line, imo.

Generally speaking i think Guus has done a marvellous job on him so far.

In my view he proved that he can do it for more that a few games without a big fuckup.

I don't think he'll ever reinvent, to a certain point this kind of behaviour is part of his game.

But you're right, the thing yesterday happened should never happen again.

You don't rate Higuain mate ? I would take him over Costa atm. Less fights on the pitch, scoring tons of goals and better dribbling skills as well.

Diego Costa could still face two FA disciplinary charges after he escaped action for attempting to bite Gareth Barry. #CFC (Mail)

Costa will be scrutinised by the FA for the furious way he reacted to being sent off and behaviour when he eventually left the pitch (Mail)

The FA are studying footage to see whether Costa has a case to answer for allegations he made an inappropriate gesture to the crowd (Mail)
