Diego Costa

[FabHazard 655]

Suarez will be the best striker for us...but he is not available!!!

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I don't understand the problem people have with Costa only having one good year? He is now in his prime years which is when you would expect him to start scoring consistently.

Also when he does it for much longer the price only continues to rise! The goals he's scoring make me think he could be the difference between us going out at the q-finals of the CL and making it to the finals. He is scoring unbelievable goals not just tap ins stunning goals...

Don't ask me though I'm of the opinion any striker will do, Costa, Balotelli either would be more than fine.

Because there is always a possibility that he's a flash in the pan. Right now he's in that rare form where everything is going for him and that's tough to maintain.

Personally I like what he offers all round though. He has a fight in him that will be useful for us even if he isn't scoring regularly, a bit like Drogba brought in his time here although there is a worry that it might come out in less helpful ways though. But you're spot on about this being when you want to buy strikers, when they're in the ascendency and still have potential rather than looking at established guys (Shevchenko, Torres....even Crespo) who have already peaked.

You could say that about any striker in our 30M price range. Hell you can say that about strikers in the 50M range... There are no sure things or guarantees.

Pretty much agree with everything else though

People were bashing Danny for being a selfish cunt, and now people want to bring in one of those.

I'm laughing my arse off.

I never once bashed Sturridge. I striker is supposed to be selfish most of the moves are fashioned for them to get the final touch anyways.

You guys kill me you're screaming for a striker and when the options are presented you're screaming about who they are.

Who do you want?

[communicate 2,703]

I absolutely don't want him in our team. He is a very dirty player

Who do I WANT? I would like to have Cavani, Zlatan... maybe even Messi. Or Suarez.

What I WANT isnt always what I GET.

I do however NOT want a cunt like Costa in "my" team. And especially not someone like Balotelli !

[yuvala 2,167]

He's good, he wont cost 50m (I hope) - bring him in.

Stop bitching about him being dirty.. u wanna win titles or not ?

[The only place to be 11,313]

Not quite sure why people think Costa is a cunt to be honest.

[DanishBlue 426]

His release clause is £ 32m or something like that. It's still a lot of money though but not the 50m that someone feared

[duo11bluecl 207]

Apparently Atletico is interested in Lukaku according to some rumor. Lukaku+£10m for Costa is good imo.

No, we need both. We have the money to release Costa, so we should not be tempted to include Lukaku in the deal to make it cheaper for us. We might well lose all of our current strikers in summer. What is the point of letting go of the only one who actually knows the club alread just because some club is coincidentally interested in him. IMO our objective should always first to sign without any unnecessary add-ons and only do swap deals if we have a profit from it, or the situation forces it (e.g. the Cole-Gallas deal or a potential Torres-whoever but please somebody swap). Lukaku has the potential to become at least as good as Costa. swapping him now would be extremely short-sighted.

what a big ugly motherfucker he is. But pepe and ramos are no better. No wonder they are huggin each other in the end. Little bit of cant, but hey they are spaniards.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If we wanted 'nice personas' we would keep Mata. Fact is that we want top players and Costa is best option in summer. He isnt ideal but dont hope we will sign Cavani, it wont happen. Simple as that. Balo is still kid and Mou of all people knows it best. He wont take such unbalanced striker to lead our line next year when we will attack PL and CL title. Rvp might be secret option, depending on his decision to leave. If he will want to leave, I think Chelsea is best option for him in england, besides he is cunt enough to join us with no fuss. Only problem would be united but since we sold them Mata, there would be no surprise if they give us Rvp.

Benzema wont leave Real, he is finaly getting top form and Zidane connection is high between the two. Falcao after lenghty injury would be stupid buy. Suarez, just like Cavani is simply too expensive aswell.

Like him or not, Costa is best choice and his price is decent. 30mio is not that much at all. But people judgging him based on appearance and behaviour are funny. Just because he is cunt doesnt mean he isnt top striker. Suarez is massive cunt, Rvp is cunt, Rooney is cunt, Ibra is cunt,...so what. Yes its not best for club picture and I would like to have Cavani because he has nicer personality, but all that will be forgotten when Costa starts scoring goals. And that is the main job for striker. Score goals. In the end of the day it will be the goals deciding, not nice personality. Dont forget that even Cavani could flop here and price of 70mio would be fucking disaster then.

I actually find this hilarious.

[Roquila 1,335]

Suarez is a saint compared to Costa.
