Diego Costa

[Mário César 975]

It is hard to say if I'm happy or not in case that Costa stays in Chelsea.

How he will performing? If he play like the first half of the last season, i'm the happiest man in the Earth, but if he play just like the last six months? We're are in big troubles...

He blows hot and cold too much. Just look at his form this season. One minute he is an absolute boss then goes a shit load of games playing like a donkey. You really think Conte needs that kind of player amongst the ranks in a season trailing the title win. Ontop of that we have Champions League football so we are going to need at least two top strikers playing in full flow if we are to challange on all fronts.

We should have sold him in January. Now he is turning into passenger we can't cash in. I sincerely hope he will be shifted out as soon as possible even if I struggle to think of a decent replacement. But until than even Batz will do.

I still like him a lot. The issue is matic. Is like playing with one less man. 

Moses was woeful today. But I give him that day of since he's been great this season. 

That being said we definitely need to improve defense and mid. Matic woeful, cahill woeful at times and no good alternative to play as wing backs after Moses and Alonso.

He was allright today, many times he held the ball and passed to create chance, nevermind the goal. 

You could see he was very dissapointed we were losing after he was subbed, so much for all the experts here saying "he doesnt give a crap". 

[Fernando 6,463]

I hope he stays. 

Just get upgrade to matic, Moses and cahill. We shall be good. 

If we can get Alexis then everything will be fine.

Any chance we had to get Sanchez we're lost today I think. He will probably extend with Arsenal now.

For what? after winning an FA Cup?

Seriously the guy is not daft.

Winning an FA Cup, that's a nice way to bow out in style. 

As well Wenger. But Wenger might stay. 

Sanchez is smart not to stick around.

I hope that's a good sign that he wants to stay. 

Because at the moment there's no big upgrade for a striker out there. 

As frustrating he can be at times, he still good enough for what's out there. 

I think we can do another season of Costa, Hazard, Pedro and Willian. 

I would love to add Sanchez but that's still a hard case because of Arsenal might not want to sell to us until they have no choice in January. 

Much rather spend the money on defense. Wingbacks, CB and CM like Radja/Vidal type. 

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

He'll only leave if it's Atletico. Don't want to go to another team.

[Mário César 975]

And who is  Luis Fdo Restrepo  ?

UK correspondent for Directv Sports. He's pretty reliable in terms of quotes.

[Artandur 939]

seems to be real

[Pizy 18,368]

If he stays then we need to get someone who can play off him rather than another #9 like Lukaku. Morata or Alexis. Both of whom seem impossible at this point in time.

Honestly have no clue who we bring in for our attack. 

[King11Didier 916]

I really hope he is off this summer. I don't think he is the type of striker Conte really prefers and Im already tired of his bullshit through this season. Had some really good moments with us, but I think we are able to upgrade on his position this summer.

[Dahnald 256]

No. He needs to leave.

 

Absolute fraud of a player. A man-child. Like the Telegraph said: Jekyll and Hide. Way too unpredictable and way too un-loyal.

 

Out with him ASAP.

Quote

 

"I know Chelsea wants to sell players, but I told them, I have two years left in my contract and I won't go somewhere else just because they want so. I will only sign for another club in Europe, they know that. Otherwise I'll stay with my current contract," he told reporters after the final whistle. 

"I have a contract and no intention of leaving, but if there are changes to be made that might reduce my chances, if the coach won't count on me anymore or is to give space for another striker, I know that I'll have to leave. But only to where I'm willing to.

"Everyone know what my preferred club is, there's nothing to hide.

"Money is good, but I'm grateful for what I have right now and I have other things to look forward to, like playing the next World Cup. I know that I have a chance to be called if I'm playing well and at a high level, that's something I want."

"If I have to move to another city or another country than Spain, I don't think I'll go, I'd rather stay at Chelsea. If the club wants to sell me, they know where I want to go."
