Yes that is why we are going for Fab+Luis as well. Even without Luiz sell we would still have 50-60m min to spend anyway from BPL,TV,CL,sponsors...etc money. Not to forget the wages bill going down massively thanks to the likes of Cole, Lampard...etc leaving.

funny you mention that, guy on twitter, Jake Cohen [think hes a lawyer] worked out that with new broadcasting deals and revenue streams and player sales so far, we could spend £150m on players and still pass FFP

It's something special in Spain.

Every player has a release clause in his contract. But when a club from abroad want to trigger it, this club has to pay an extra 40% tax.

So may be we will have a "gentlemen" agreement with Atlético to pay 99.99% of his release clause.

Costa wasn't the team's goal-scorer in 12/13. And I have to say, 10 goals and 7 assists in 24 starts is more than decent considering the circumstances (first year at Atletico, playing in different positions).

And since we're going by statistics, 10 goals and 4 assists in 15 starts for Rayo Vallecano in 11/12. Not too shabby.

I have a good feeling about this guy. He's had an interesting journey to the top. Seems like he's constantly had to prove himself.

And more importantly, he's more than a goal-scorer. Think he'll do fine.

That's a good point, the likes of Costa and Drogba battled adversity (in Drogs case life as well as football, have no idea re Costa's childhood backstory) and faced a long hard battle to get to the top. Nando had it made for him at Leti and Liverpool, which goes a long way to explaining why he struggled to cope mentally when thing's started to unravel with us because in football he always had it good.

its also with clubs in spain. the thing is, this "clause" must be deposited by the player, if the clubs dont find an agreement. so chelsea would give 40 m to diego and he would deposit the money in madrid. but if he gets the money, it is rated as an income and it has to be taxed. in most cases though, the clubs find an agreement for example, 39,99999 mio euros, so the clause wont get triggered.

Getting worried about this now. We seem to have some curse on strikers and Costa has only really had one great goalscoring season.

Not trying to be negative, but it's vital we keep Lukaku so we have decent back up for him.

In 2012-13 he scored 20 goals and gave 15 assists.Not a bad return for a striker,which played more often than not the second fiddle for Falcao.This season he exploded as first striker upfront.

That's exactly what we said we Torres signed.

That's not true.... We had Drogba and Anelka. It's not like the situation we have now where no fucker can put the ball in the back of the net consistently.

Get in! Exiting times ahead, we have a striker!

He is very injury-prone and tbh I failed to see him preform in every big game Atletico played. Hopefully we keep Lukaku just in case.

Now just get rid of Torres, Etoo and Ba and everything is perfect. Make it a 3 for the price of 1 pack.

Very injury prone? Didn't he play nearly the whole season?

^ It's Kadian. Any opportunity to big up Chelsea and Mouriinho cheesy.gif

Tell you what, Costa won't be netting more than 15 league goals next season in that Chelsea set-up, and anyone here can quote me on that
