Courtois needs to speak out against all the Real Madrid speculation himself.

I agree. Id love him just to say theres no way I'm leaving Chelsea in the foprseeable future and theres no truth to the RM links.

 

As for Diego I really hope it all blows over. We were so lucky to buy him and hes hardly let us down. Specially this season. It was all going too smooth.

With Chinas new rules it seems that the club Mendes was talking to (NOT iitially about Costa he was only brought up in conversation after the media shit.The contracts were drawn up to buy Falcao and Raul Jimenez but have had to be withdrawnr) But Chinas transfer window doesnt cose till Feb 28th so plenty of time for them.

So now his options are the 2 Madrid teams. With Simeone only there next season I'm not sure whether he would go there, same reason Eden wouldn't (he will get the call as soon as Simeone knows where hes going)

So who knows whats ahead.

Whether you choose to believe it or not is up to you, just another generic Twitter account quoting from one to the other me thinks.

BREAKING NEWS

Diego Costa has rejoined the Chelsea first team in training after spending the last few days training away from the group, according to Sky sources.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I still think this was more press mistake and blowing up than what realy happend. IMO Costa got offer, which he wouldnt take, but he probably had bust up with Conte because of injury. Thats why he didnt play and trained separately. 

Media just took whole thing by storm that he didnt train because he wanted to go to China etc and Conte told him to fuck off. 

And conveniently, now reports that Costa is training again, made deal with Conte, because media would look like fools if they didnt say that, since Conte would train as soon he was fit (and not because he wanted to leave).

At least thats my interpretation.

Costa might be hothead, and I get it he would return to atletico at some point, but to go midseason to China, when he is in hot form, fan favourite and Chelsea in very good spot to win title? Nah. Character makes him unpredictable, but at same time you know he has bigger motivation than that.

I don't know how good he will be now for us because it's clear he will leave in june.

[Last Sicarius 610]

He was close to leave to Atletico but stay and Conte made him beast again. Maybe this time will be the same.

I think he got the offer, wanted to go then claimed to have a back injury (Conte probably didn't believe the injury was real) they got into an argument. Costa had to go along with his story of a back injury and now he's "ok" so he joins the first team. 

Media acutually got this one right.

If he goes its not such a big deal

Oscar went for 60 million, so Diego would be at least 100 million, chuck in Mikels 20 million or whatever he went for and the Board have 200 million burning a hole in their pocket -Griezeman, Sanchez whoever they fancy is an option, so I don't see it particularly as a negative.

That said I see him still here when we lift the trophy....

 

and back in training with 1st team squad

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

Diego Costa returned to first-team training today – with a warm embrace from fitness coach Julio Tous who he had an angry bust-up with last week.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Owt can happen between now n June.Lets hope they get their hugs on again.

But Id bring in another top striker ASAP anyways. What harm can it do.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Maybe the whole story began because the fitness coach + Conte shouted at costa and backed the medical staff and then he decided to do this trick to us and talk with china...

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Urgh who knows..Probably some truth in it just spun in a more media friendly/sells stories way. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes in simmer but that's a long way off..for now he's one of us stil :-D 

[Jype 6,398]

Too much drama with Costa. Great player but not sure if it's worth it in the end.

Best case scenario would be to keep him till the summer with him banging in goals for the club's title hunt and then cash in after the season.

Did he tell you himself that he wants to leave, or?

Obviously this I made my comments on the assumption that the accusations are true.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Just wondered how many 20 goal a season strikers peeps thought were out there and secodly how easy do you think it will be for us to sign one?

I hope Conte uses every bit of the man management skills he supposedly has to turn this shit about cause I for one think we are going to find it tough to find a replacement if necessary.
