Diego Costa

[jamescarnypore 1]

We need a striker more than a young keeper. Cech can keep going for another 7, 8 or even 9 years as our number 1. Courtois wont accept being number 2 and if we loan him out again he probably wont even renew his contract with us. Costa would fit perfectly.

Or we recall him and pay Costa release clause by selling Mata and Cech.

cech in 9 years will be as mobile as a brick wall

Why would we sell Cech? He was been great for us for years and he can keep going. I dont want to see him get sold, he is one of the best keepers in the world.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

9 years!? What you been smoking dude?

[Polo7 3,496]

Like Schwarzer?

So are Courtois? And we sell from a business and logic perspective, leaving out the sentiments. If he is gonna accept the bench role then we won't need to sell him, but he likely won't as he is still one of the best there is so why keep him if it means we are losing the young(already one of the best in the world) GK? If you have to choose, would you choose Cech over Courtois atm?

[lucio 5,418]

Like Schwarzer?

he dosent have knee and back problems

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

he dosent have knee and back problems

and he will never be number 1 in one of the top teams in Europe

I thought he had a bad elbow.

Anyway, Costa would be a huge improvement

[Polo7 3,496]

he dosent have knee and back problems

I havent heard of this.

[Ze Mario 638]

atm should sell this guy next summer. afterall they never lack of striker talent. unlike us sadly

they have borja baston, hector fernandez, and the guy who will replace costa immediately, leo baptistao

sigh, can we sign el cholo as our training coach?

[Waterfall 893]

Great player, but this guy is a disgusting player. Should be red carded every 5 minutes every game.

Mundo Deportivo saying Chelsea is thinking about proposing Atleti a swap - Lukaku, Courtois (plus some money if needed) for Diego Costa, Filipe Luis.

Simeone willing to let those two go and he is interested in Courtois, and Mata too. Why not Mata (valued at £40M) + some money maybe (£5M) for Diego costa (£38M, his release clause) and Filipe Luis (valued at £17M)

Or is that Jose wants to get rid of Lukaku and Courtois and in exchange for them he wants two starters without spending a fortune? Filipe at LB (#2 tackler in La Liga this season, by the way) and Diego Costa CF? And those £40M he'll get for Mata will go for JT's replacement? Mangala or any other highly rated CB?

Biggest pile of bullshit Ive ever read.

[lucio 5,418]

"No one is indispensible. What's most important is the club," Simeone told Spanish TV station Cuatro.

"Atletico has always had a turnover at the striker position from Torres, Aguero... Atletico, as a club, has always survived."

[Special Juan 27,439]

Go get him, just nail this.

[duo11bluecl 207]

Hasn't scored in 2014 yet? He hasn't actually been scoring in like his last 4 matches I think. Not on the best form atm, lets wait and see was this just a good spell or he is just on a bad patch.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

I don't know why Athletico would sell in this window considering they can possibly win la liga and get very far in the CL. Just doesn't make any sense. They would be bigger idiots than us to let him go in this window.

We alwaya buy strikers that are out of form so this could actually happen.....and end like torres :-D
