Diego Costa

[LAB 1,030]

"So everybody was blind including myself. He went to Atlético and [sergio] Agüero was the superstar. He went on loan after that. Agüero goes and they bought [Radamel] Falcao and he went on loan. I think he was always behind very important players but at the same time he was developing himself. So when he got the chance to go back to Atlético he was even better."

This man is the absolute negative of Lukaku.

Honest expectations for Costa this season? When you consider how our system is simply just not catered towards playing with an out-and-out striker, how many do you reckon he'll get? Would you settle for 18-20 in all competitions in his first season?

I would.

We need 27goals in all competitions. We need a 20goal striker in the league to land the title. The other 7goals in the Champions League and I'll call it a success

Really loving that we have a decent Striker. Finally

Another great thing about the costa and fabregas signings is that they will show hazard and oscar the level of consistency they need to be at or achieve through out the season. Oscar learning from fabregas and hazard learning from costa that's quite interesting to watch I anticipate.

Important to get a goal quickly and he did that. Should've had a penalty do but his runs are world-class at times. He works hard, fights, holds the ball up and moves it well.

He's a striker. I forgot what one of them looked like.

we would have won the PL with him last year ,,, but lets get a back up as insurance

[Term-X 7,891]

Yellow cards are more significant for him & Ramires, simply can't afford too many of these injustices throughout the season.

Trying not to get carried away after that beastly performance.

Glad Jose didn't subb him off for Didier, let him enjoy his night. Perfect debut, Torres can rot on the bench

oh and hopefully Chelsea can appeal against that yellow card. Penalty all day long

[meetdoscar 335]

Nice strike

[OneMoSalah 8,797]

Is that an Ivanovic cross hitting the post.... jesus haha.

More of the same please though Diego, goals goals and more goals. Heard he should have had a penalty too after pressing a back pass.

Glad Jose didn't subbed him off for Didier, let him enjoy his night. Perfect debut, Torres can rot on the bench

That made me laugh, never enough of Torres bashing

Yeah, that yellow could should be erased if we appeal, but hey its Chelsea. In what world will FA do us a favour

This guy is SO MUCH BETTER than I thought he was.

[iseah100 5,612]

He'll score 20+ this season.

Can't wait to see how Costa fairs against the top teams, i think he'll just fine.
