Diego Costa

[yuvala 2,167]

Really not convinced about this guy...

[Ze Mario 638]

he look like oscar's daddy

[haranr 485]

He isn't good enough. I highly doubt he can keep his goal-scoring form farther than this season especially if he moves to the Primer League. This is a risk-signing

Chelsea 'agree swap deal' with Atletico for United target Costa... and star keeper Courtois staying in Spain

We need a striker now, we don't need a new keeper for a few seasons....but still I don't like this.

Does this make us a better team next year? Almost certainly if Costa is the real deal.

Does it make financial sense to do it like this? Pretty much yes.

Do I like it? Not really, but I trust Jose.

[Cosmin 2,484]

Costa would be our Negredo. But I feel like we could use some Aguero.

[Melanicus 5,208]

I don't want us to lose future best goalkeeper in the world.

I believe our search for a striker should begin after the World Cup. There is no need to rush in because we will be spending a lot of money on a position we really need.

[Pizy 18,401]

Stupid if we do this.

We can find a striker elsewhere without having to give up a player in Courtois.

Not worth losing a world class keeper for a forward who is a gamble.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Tbh, i expect we will lose courtois at some point, as are we really gonna loan him for 3 years? I can't see Jose dropping Cech within that timeframe especially as he is still performing. It would be ashame to lose a world class keeper who we could have for a decade. But it wouldn't surprise me, Courtois home is Atletico much more than it is here.

I'd imagine demba would also be on the way out if this was to happen.

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

Costa is good but not worth sacrificing a top 5 goalie. Only if there is no possibility of keeping Courtois long term this would make sense.

We would only be transferring the problem from one area to another, imo.

this is his 3rd year at Atletico already.

[1chelsea 864]

There one Jose and i learn player who play under him behave to their best of their ability

[Hutcho 8,443]

Yeah exactly. Are we really gonna loan him for 3 more years?

[Martin Preuss 6]

Costa would really suit our style but he is going to be in great demand come the summer.

Competition for his signing will become fierce especially after the World Cup. I can't see Atletico agreeing to any deal before the World Cup, knowing his fee will no doubt increase as he scores goals for Spain.

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

Please Chelsea don't get rid of Courtois. This guy's 6 foot 6 has world class reflexes and shot stopping capabilities to match the elite at 21 years old. With a Mourinho defense and him in goal we'd be set for a long time.

[drog.ba 239]

Courtois should really be our no.1 from next season, or at least be given that chance. Cech is obviously still a top keeper, not as good as he was in earlier seasons, but Courtois looks exceptional. Mourinho will play it safe and offload Courtois, stick with Cech because he is reliable, experienced and a leader. I know it isn't done with keepers but we could rotate them each game, whoever performs best by January/the end of the season remains first choice.

Courtois has done as well, or better then could be expected, you have to question the signing if he isn't in our plans.
