Diego Costa

[Special Juan 27,429]

I prefer to to just wait and see rather than just believe everything that is vomited from every media source.

Haha I love this guy

[Jase 43,479]

Is it just me or he hasn't been quite the same since the CSL interest fiasco?

We may have won today but he was absolutely selfish! Could have played in Pedro in the first half to go 2-0 up and then later tried to score from a tight angle when there were like 3-4 players free in the box to make it 4-0. This all from the same guy who went all crazy on Pedro for not making that attacking run at Spurs last month.

I haven't noticed any difference to be honest. The difference is 2 months ago, his selfishness worked for him, but now it's becoming more pronounced. Would have been 4-0 if he just passed, then Giroud goes down the other end and pulls one back for them.

Brain dead performance. Absolute shame we don't have a decent striker to replace him.

[Leif 6,006]

It's crazy that he was on fire at Atletico, yet came to the Premier League and has actually scored more goals in fewer games. But that said, he did show more passion and all-round striker abilities for them, whereas I feel like we've just got ourselves a poacher who, sometimes, brings in some target man qualities. I love his personality but only like him a bit as a player. I really want Lewandowski. It's delusion to say he's not as good as his Dortmund days.

Just wasn't at the races at all today.

Brain dead performance. Absolute shame we don't have a decent striker to replace him.

Bats surely would have been more effective than him today.

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

Worked his ass off today. Great overall performance (defending headers in our box, great tackles on both halves of pitch, constant pressing, which allowed Fabregas to score), but some shockingly bad decisions in attack.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,159]

The same guy who had a right go at pedro. Could have assisted 2-3 goals today. Nonetheless... we won the game!

[Svita 10 186]

relax people..he will be ok

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He has hunger to score and be top on goalscorers list. 

Good for us he had bad finishing when we got others to score. Next time he gets these chances, he can score two, easy.

Honest question, do you guys really believe Diego Costa is gonna be sold in the summer? And if so, who would you guys want to replace him? 

Because Lots of people on this forum and Chelsea Twitter keep going on like it's a done deal he'll be sold and keep talking about potential replacements.
 I thought the whole situation was overblown, and simply just an injury dispute,  and I filed all those transfer rumours under bull shit speculation. 

But if Diego really really wants to get out of England, and not even winning the PL again could keep him again, the only replacement I'd accept is Mauro Icardi. End of discussion.

But if we signed somebody else who was a revelation banging goals in left and right? Would you still not accept that because it's not Icardi?  Btw no I don't think he'll be sold. The most discussed potential replacements to Costa are Morata, Lukaku and Belotti. Haven't really heard any other (realistic) names being thrown around. I'd be satisfied with any of those because they are the best who could possibly be available not for £100m, but my first preference by far is for Diegoal to stay.

IMHO I couldn't see him go anywhere else but Madrid. Even tho no I cant see him go in the summer.. Thinking logically he will see how well we have done this season, he likes being the center of it all and I can see he would like to try taking on Europe with us in this mood.

With Simenon no doubt leaving AM next summer and not knowing who is taking over thats 1 reson not to go back there.

I dunno how he would take to going to RM. The team he took so much enjoyment of going up against them and how it would affect his love for AM. Its a tough one.

Lets hope it was just BS or hope Conte has a glass ball and can tell if we need to be looking for someone now.

Icardi? Off all the young strikers, he is without the doubt the most limited one and arguably a very lazy one.

He is a good poacher thats why he gets those goals, but even inter fans would replace him with Kun in second if they had chance.

[Jase 43,479]

I don't want to overreact and all but Costa just doesn't seem the same anymore after that CSL drama last month.
