Diego Costa

[mediator 2,026]

They way we are playing i can only see Suarez or Rooney to fit the job for us (or Ibra as short term option)

[bushman 2,043]

Well i was just suggesting we should be more careful with our striker choice.

Lewandoski, suarez, falcao, aguero, cavani are all strikers that can either outmuscle the defender and create chances for theirselves or dribble 1-2 players and score. I'm not sure about diego costa's dribbling though but if he's good at that then he'll be good for us.

We all know the good ones, but are any left to buy now ?

Good question..... i dont like martinez, lewandoski is a fool to want to play for a coach that prefers a false nine, so the only available striker will be costa.... still he might just like athletico more this season.

No Costa, won´t let him go, I feel.

Actually, not many available.

Lewa could fit in aswell

Ibra, Benzema, Lewa could also do the job for us.

Diego Costa isn't a bad option either.

I just watched some videos of him. I think he's a good dribbler. Not suarez level but can get away from the last man like drogbas style. His finishing is good though. But i kind of dont like him since he made that decision to play for spain, not that i should care though but still.....

Yeah I think I described him as the South American Drogba to someone before (but obviously not on the same level). I'd be satisfied with someone like him.

After todays eto nightmare i think we should go all out for him. How we are even in the title race with our strike force is astonishing.

well, in terms of january, I think yes. in the summer, everything is possible. he has a release clause (rumoured to be 37 m euros)- if we pay it, they cant do anything.

we should not just buy for the sake of it. if nobody is available, wait until the summer. Still thikn that Martinez aint worth 40 m at all. he is nowhere near the likes of Lewandowski, Cavani and Co and even on the same level as Costa atm.

Pace, power and goals, whatever it takes to end are striker crisis. Might have to stump up 30mill at least.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Dribbling, strength, speed, workrate, first touch and FINISHING.

Release clause £32m, pretty sure WILL have to do that, not might.

People that want only Costa/Falcao/Lewa, you're saying you're ok with continue with the same strikers this season? even when we have a real shot at this season's title?

When i look at buying Martinez in January for example, i think next season we'll have him+Lukaku, thats very good.

Naaa many people are suggesting in the summer. But Martinez is unproven any where but Porto

So what are you saying? lets wait for the summer?

Probably yeah unless we pay Costa's £32m release clause and they agree to sell some how/he wants to leave. Should we really rush Martinez and especially his price while in the summer more players will be potentially available for better quality and price?

Wait for the summer, maybe the winter, one more summer, just wait & wait...Costa is not coming.
