Diego Costa

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Unless he make his head back to its place, useless to still held him on the team. He will train tomorrow, let's see how his reaction.

[-Kaplan- 410]

He turns it into a circus at times, but you can't deny he does score goals.

Keep Costa, sign a good striker to challenge him, hold onto Batshuayi,...that would be ideal. We need a strike-force of 3. Even as good as our potential targets, Aubemeyang,Morata and Mbappe, are as forwards and all round play...we need the goals to come from somewhere. Without Lukaku, Costa is our best bet for now.

Unless one of them is a winger/striker you cannot have 3 strikers with one striker system. Somebody will barely got a game and will be unhappy

No point in keeping him. Guarantee he will make a fuss come January and we will be left without a first choice striker.

With 3 different style of strikers, you can and you should. It will help when you playing in 4 competitions.

Last year we are in 3 competitions and Michy barely played, imagine if we add one more striker to the mix.

So unless he is a striker who can also play on the wing. Somebody will be unhappy. Let's compare with other team in epl last season

United : Ibra,rashford,Rooney

if your other two are super young and super old, it can work plus Rashford was usually played on the wing by Mou

City : Aguero, Jesus, kelechy

Same concept, two young players n jesus can play on the wing

Spurs :they play with two strikers

Arsenal : Welbeck (had nasty injury),Giroud, Alexis, lucas, walcot

Lucas barely played last season. Welbeck had just recovered from nasty injury. Walcot n alexis are both striker/winger.

See, unless we sign a striker/winger player like alexis, somebody will be unhappy and

I doubt that, if he were to stay. World cup will be coming in a few months time from then, and I don't think he would disrupt things at that time. The only way that's going to happen is if he were relegated to the bench permanently for the first half of the season.

32 years old striker like Llorente will aware that he is not the first choice striker if he come, he will play only when needed and think he will accept it. We did that with Eto'o and Drogba couple of years ago. Our first choice striker will then compete with Batman week in week out. Not mentioning if one of them having long term injury. So, I don't see any problem with having 3 strikers like you said.

If you are talking about a player who is willing to stay on the bench and barely played then of course it is fine.

" Keep Costa, sign a good striker to challenge him, hold onto Batshuayi,...that would be ideal. We need a strike-force of 3. Even as good as our potential targets, Aubemeyang,Morata and Mbappe"

That is the initial post that I quote He said a Aub,Moratat,Mbappe class player.

Ah, yes. We will not having a kid as a striker, and no way we're gonna sign 2 top class strikers in this crazy transfer window. One will be a backup for sure. Having 3 strikers for one spot is not impossible though.
