Diego Costa

He's a proper, proper cunt. A proper one. Elbows flying everywhere, staring out JT and the ref etc. but I couldn't give a single fuck if we sign him next season and he's banging them in for us.

This guy is a fucking idiot! I don't want him at my club! He is a horrible bastard!! Throw's a strop at every little decision that goes against him! No thanks! Please just fuck off!

Whats funny is when it looked for all the world Falcao was coming here, we all wanted a more 'all round' forward like Cavani, Falcao went to France then the Cavani rumours gathered momentum and then all of a sudden we wanted a PL proven forward in Rooney instead.

Back 6 months ago when getting Costa was a pipe dream almost every one wanted him, now it looks like it could well happen all of a sudden Manduzic and Bony are better options

I wonder what type of comments will find it's way here next season when Torres scores for his new club in a weekend Costa doesn't.

Kinda funny. All the reasons people here don't like him are the same things our rivals used to say about Drogba.

Hey just saw that... I'm not a Diego Costa fan, but at least, he has a great work rate.

According to Rob Beasley this is done deal.

Isn't Beasley one of the biggest bullshitters on twitter? Rivaling the mighty Tancredi Palmeri.

I might get crucified for this, but I thought Costa proved last night that he wouldn't work as our no.1 striker.

Yes, he may have scored (from the spot) but I just saw him getting extremely frustrated very easily when he couldn't get much ball.

We want a top finisher (which he is, granted) who can stay calm and patient when we are playing against the shit teams in the PL who sit 10 men behind the ball - they've been our problem teams this season. He got frustrated in the first half and looked sullen and like he was going to kick out and get sent off any minute.

I'm not a Costa basher, before last night I thought he was our best option, but the game yesterday has made me less than excited about his prospects if we do in fact buy him... But then who else is there? Benzema or Mandzukic? Not convinced by either.

I find his trolling absolutely hilarious.

Mandzukic is shit. Don't want him. Would be a bigger donkey in this league than Torres or Giroud.

He has been shocking in almost every game I've seen of him in the Champions league.. A lamp post in every sense of the word. The only good thing I can say about him is that he's good in the air, but his all round game is awful. Even Torres' is much better. Yeah, he scores goals, but even a donkey can score for that Bayern team in the Bundesliga considering they smash everyone 5,6-0.

Rob is a chelsea fan and close to José.

Diego Costa will sign for #cfc in the summer

I was always confident about landing Costa considering Jorge Mendes (Mourinho's agent and one of his best friends who he calls "brother") is Costa's agent under the company, Gestifute.

And no, Bearsley is no bull-shiter, he is a very reliable source and is close to the club.

Anything over 32-35 million is a rip off I feel.

For one of the best strikers in the world? Just look at the evaluations in the market recently. This is the reality of modern day football. You want the best you have to pay big money. 35 million is really cheap for a world-class striker in 2014.

World class striker? Is Costa at the same level as Suarez, Falcao, Messi or Ibra? No.

Hes a major improvement on what we have but anything going over 35m m is a rip off.

Lmao Beasley is reporting the inevitable.. Any journo could've said it and it wouldn't be any less true. It's easy to report. If it doesn't happen you just make an excuse like 'couldn't agree on wages' etc

So because he isn't on the same level as those players (since when is Messi a striker?), that means he isn't world class? Personally, I believe Lewadowski is not as good as say, an Aguero, that doesn't mean they aren't both world class.

35 million? I hope you are correct, but you have to be realistic. There is no way in hell costa is leaving for anything less than 50 million euros and we are in a desperate situation now, so we have to pay the sum they want.
