Diego Costa

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Atletico always have a top striker. When Costa leaves, they will get someone else and he'll do just as well.

I'm jealous

Probably it will be Leo Baptistao

You do realize football is a squad game these days, right?

yes but we play with a single striker and still have Torres with 2 more years left on his contract...

Not sure how reliable the above story is, but to sacrifice Courtois & Torres for a flash in the pan, is not my way of thinking.

Why are ppl even linking news like this? We all know that won't happen. We have an intelligent manager who would never do something like that.........

We all know that Diego Costa is not a solution to our problems. I respect him as a player, but he's simply not good enough to lead our attack. We should be looking for players like Lewandowski, Falcao, Cavani etc etc...

[Sidzeret 2,257]

What happened to Jackson Martinez? Diego Costa is gonna be another expensive flop as far as i can tell.

Can't tell the same about Martinez. But then again any striker is a risky buy at Chelsea.

So its better to channel the cash into a CM/CDM rather than a striker at January. Khedira maybe. Its not like we can buy 32m striker and still get a 30m CM.

May I point out those players are all gone now.

Try somebody else, then.

Called up by Brazil for friendlies in november, question is will he choose Brazil or Spain?

Lewa is available in Jan/summer. There was also some talk about Falcao leaving Monaco already.

To be fair, I'd rather keep the current strikers than buy Costa.

He's benefiting immensely from a system that was built for Falcao. I'm not denying that he can score, he's a great poacher, but just like Falcao, I don't think he'd get half of those goals at Chelsea. It is no coincidence that Falcao had over 60% of his team's goals and that now Costa is doing the exact same.

he creates alot of chances for himself unlike falcao

[CHOULO19 24,332]

But like Falcao, he has a whole attacking system that is centered around him. He won't have that here.

[JamesGodfrey 87]

he would be our Suarez and not for the goal scoring reasons. He seems a bit un controllable mentally, most games i've watched him he's either diving about like a fairy or been sent off.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

He can dribble though

[bushman 2,043]

Never mind pathetic Costa, Chelsea are in for 250m bid for Messi backed by Adidas.

Messi release clause in his contract & Adidas are more than happy to give financial backing....

Ok boys, something for you to discuss, so you are not bored by the same charts, line-ups & all those dribbles.

another goal
