Diego Costa

[LondonPride1905 236]

His clause is 35 mil. pounds so calm down. Simeone also mentioned they are interested in Torres, so seeing a potential swap deal would be interesting.

Get Costa at ANY price. He's the only world class striker available, and stop the bullshit about how physical the EPL is. He'll be fine, dude is tough and is a rough player plus he's a big dude. He'll adapt fine. I could see 30+ goals in all comps next season.

hes good looking in some weird way

Lots of sense in a swap deal for Torres. Surely even Emanalo can see that.

Because it's solely down to Emenalo to make transfers for us right? And because Emenalo has been so bad with his transfers right? Come on, give him a break.

Erm who rattled your cage? And if you read around I actually have written good things about Emanalo.

Fair enough, it's just that too many people are quick to chastise Emenalo when he hasn't even done a bad job, so naturally it irks me a bit when people suggest stuff like that.

Will be interesting if Ciro Immobile goes to Atletico. can't wait to see that.

Except Drogba didn't cost us 50 million pounds though?? 50m is twice as much what we paid for Didi and look at how long it took him to find his feet here. In his first season here I think he scored about 10 goals, 2nd season he scored around the same. Are people going to be satisfied with that return for 50m? Because it's very possible that Costa will need at least a season to settle in.

Drogba cost us 37 m euros. 37 m Euros at that time are equal to 50 m pounds today I would say.

And Costas clause isnt 35 m pounds. Its 40 m euros, as spanish media says.

Sounds like a mobile phone network

Media claiming done deal already? This is like the Cavani situation all over again..

The story actually broke in Spain from a reputable media outlet. And the comments Simeone made suggest there's a lot in it. The Telegraph is also a reliable source. At least more so than those other ones you mentioned.

This talk of Chelsea being a graveyard for strikers when we can only talk of 3 examples in 20 years is not very accurate on further scrutiny.

Sutton? Casiraghi? Fleck?
