It wouldn't be bad. But honestly I think we should add to costa because we need two strikers in our team. Having costa as the only good finisher in our starting lineup is a bigger problem than people think. 

If Costa really wants to return to Madrid, then we should allow him to. We saw last season how useless he is when sulking.

If we can replace him with Morata or Higuain, then I'm for it. They wouldn't cost much more anyway than the quoted sum for Costa.

Morata would cost the same, but in pounds. 42 mil euros is about 32 mil pounds

Costa is going nowhere. Fucking media.

Morata is not lone striker IMO. If we sell Costa, we would need a proper replacement out there, but I dont see anyone on same level in term of scoring goals, and proper mentality. Costa gives his all in games, while I have my doubts on players like Higuain or Auba,

We had shitload of problems with strikers and Costa is the only one to work since Drogba. Unless Lewa, Aguero or Suarez is available, I would not trade Costa at all. Buy Morata and we have a formidable pairing for the next few years like we had with Didi and Anelka. Or with Hasselbaink and Gudjohnsen.

Thinking about that, we were always realy realy good when we had two strikers on field. I think its time to try it again.

Would be the most Chelsea thing ever if we sold one of our very few world class players after a horrendous season that we've had.

Diego is amazing, at one point last season he single-handedly carried us to draws/victories. I'm sure him and Morata would be an incredible partnership. Imo they would complement each other very well.

With the arrival of Batsuhayi and possible Morata he seems on his way out. Would be hard to take because despite his antics he offers many things like good runs, movements and obviously goals. But if he really wants to leave us for Atletico we should let him go, we need a calm season to rebuild our team and don't need irritating sagas off the pitch.

[Special Juan 27,424]

I don't want anyone here who doesn't want to be here, from the stories and reading around it sounds like he wants back, so if that's the case do not stand in his way and fill the void with Morata.

I'm wondering if with a departure of Costa, could it be the end of us playing hoof ball to the big guy up top? If someone like Morata came in, we would have two technically efficient forwards rather than a target man.

If we're selling him, we must get Morata. It's hard to find an upgrade or similar quality to costa 

[nono 791]

It's funny how people are pinning their hopes on Morata, someone who Mandzukic kept out of the starting line up. 

[Strike 7,217]

Keep Diego Costa. 

Selling Costa and buying Batshuayi and Morata(?) Lukaku (?) Higuain (?) not only weakens the squad but does so with a net loss of 50 million. No brainer for me that the club should do all they can to keep Costa.

All the talk of not wanting an unhappy player at the club, here's the thing -  Conte is yet to work with Costa. If, Costa still wants out next summer, then I'd consider selling him but selling a striker in his prime who is performing well after the season we have just had. Plain stupidity

I would have loved hazard behind the striker, but I'm not confident in his finishing. I want another finisher beside costa in the starting line-up at all times, so that we'll be scoring more of our chances.

Atletico Madrid have opened talks about a £35million deal to re-sign Diego Costa from Chelsea. #CFC (Mirror)
