Mendes was already in China. He didn't go for Diego.

If I were Mourinho I would tell him to find a club for Diego Costa. It is a win-win for everyone except us.

[BXL70 396]

There are very few world-class strikers available on the market. Diego knows that. Whatever the amount of money we would receive, it would be very difficult to replace him.

[11Drogba 2,000]

Gestifute = Drama queens. We should avoid the toxic culture of that agency.

Costa talked exclusively to a Brazilian journo for ESPN and said he has no plans to leave England and go to China now.

Conte: "On Tues during training Diego felt a pain in his back. From that moment he didn't train. For this reason he wasn't available."

Conte, asked again about the Costa situation, says 'this is the truth' about his previous answer. Says he knows nothing of Chinese interest.

Conte is asked if Costa will train next Tuesday: "It is important to understand his physical condition."

Conte is asked if Costa will face Hull if he is fit: "I prefer not to reply, when the question starts with 'if'."

Conte, pushed one final time on whether Costa will play for Chelsea again: "Why not?"

Was he even at the game?

Costa was not in the squad following reports of an argument with the Chelsea coaching staff over back pains the striker reported on Tuesday. But Alonso, who scored Chelsea's first two goals in Costa's absence, said all was well in the Chelsea camp.

"You guys made up the story," Alonso told the BBC after the game. "Diego wasn't feeling well because of his back. He's very happy and will have a great enough season at Chelsea.

If Diego really did what was said in the news, do you guys think we should invest in him for the future?

I suppose it's possible that this bloke, who ever he is, knows something. On the other hand, it seems more likely that this is just a ridiculous extrapolation from Antonio!s post match press conference. In that conference he said, a number of times, that the players are training again on Tuesday so we'll see. Taken in context, that simply meant Tuesday would be his earliest opportunity to see how Diego's "injury" is progressing.

Dont forget that he is the best possible striker we could have right now. Well, maybe Suarez is even better, but he for sure aint coming. 

Auba, Lukaku, Belotti, etc are all several levels below Costa. 

I hope there was nothing serious and we manage to keep Diego here. 

[Bernard N Y Burgesson 139]

just watched the first half of Everton vs Man city and realised Lukaku will fit perfectly in chelsea. no need for any adjustments since he is already experienced in the epl.

y the hell did Mour sell in the first place. i hope this situation doesnt end up like Man U and Pogba.

Conte needs to sit down with Costa if I was conte I would say to costa finish off this season and we sell you in the summer to Chinese club 

[illmatic 901]

I really hope that they can finish with his differences. We need them in the same direction, they are our main men this season.

Well, is Costa said he was feelling his back, medical staff said he had nothing, and Conte was behind the medical staff, and even told Costa to "go to China", I will start to question Conte ability to manage his players. That game where Costa asked to be substituted and Conte refused was a bad sign, since the game was over, and Costa was not needed to get a positive result at that point.

Ok, someone will say "read Pirlo's book" to prove Conte is really good in managing his players, but he is in a different environment. A former Juventus legend working in Italy for Juventus is a different animal than being an italian guy in a english club full of foreign players.

WTF???? You are crazy man. Conte changed Costa attitude which is miracle. Diego is this season except that one moment when he wanted to be substituted, very calm, they have a good relationship together. You know shit what happened and you are questionining Conte abillity to manage his players?? LOL.
