Diego Costa

[quickpassnmove 924]

He's what we have for now, but he's not really ideal. I don't care if he stays or goes, but he's done well this season before January-Feb., which was probably more than I was expecting after his 1st two seasons in London. He's up one level this season, but it doesn't make him a great striker for us.

Who the fuck was looking for a striker "for years?" Surely we're not talking about going back to the month CFC stupidly paid 50 mil for a hamstrung F. Torres.

This. People play too much Fifa these days.

Yes, because we can find a better striker right? Talking about Dybala who is at 5 goals or so this season. Talk about Griezmann who has just about same chances to flop in PL like Pogba. Or Aubameyang who did shit outside of bundesliga. Or Belotti who didnt even complete one top season. Or Lacazette who did shit outside PL.

Man you do know Chelsea in last 18 years, repeating 18 years had only Hasselbaink, Drogba (maybe could throw Gudjohnsen to the mix) and now Costa (who you say is average) who found their feet in our club? And about 10 supposed world class strikers who absolutely failed here?

Who knows how would those strikers do here and we would pay shitload of money to get them, not to mention its not exactly easy to get Dybala or Griezmann. Why change things when Costa is in top scoring form?

Yet you find a striker who in 3 years, brought us two titles (hopefuly 8 points is enough), a striker who scored like 40 goals in 70 games average? Because he doesnt dribble like Eden and because he doesnt have work rate of Kante? Well then...

Talking about out and out quality, there are only Suarez, Lewandowski and obviously Messi/Ronaldo to have equal or better striking ability than Costa. We cant get those players can we? And even if we could someone like you would begin to complain they are average strikers because they dont show up in pyjama at party.

Gudjohnson is contentious as he could be considered an 'attacking midfielder'

Let's list all the failures in recent memory:

• Sutton
• Kezman
• Muttu
• Torres
• Remy
• Batshuayi
• Pizarro
• Shevchenko
• Pato
• Falcao

Even Crespo was mediocre. I couldn't remember half of these players without Google, also because I've been drinking.

He was a stopgap. Nothing more.

What is Batshuayi besides a waste of money?

A CF with a lot of potential given chances.

Oh, is that so? I suppose his absolute failure to get minutes isn't indicative of a larger lack of ability, then?

All depends on how you want to evaluate the situation. It has more to do with Conte not feeling him and he isn't the only one right now.

And my opinion is Michy Batshuayi is trash; or at the very least a square when a circle is needed.

We all know Bats is better than just a trashy minutes guy. He needs to go somewhere n get time like Lukaku has.
