Diego Costa

I don't think he would be allowed to change number now. I think they get submitted to the Premier League before the season starts so even if he wanted to, he would have to wait until next summer.

Regarding his injury though... fucking brilliant news!! With Torres now gone (l know he wouldn't have been much help anyway) that would have left us with only Didier. Not good. Once again we are incredibly short in this area. I though this was rectified at the start of the summer. We need an extra striker urgently. If Diego gets injured we are in shit street!!

Aren`t players and squad numbers submitted after the transfer window closes?

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure they are submitted before the season and any new signings are given whatever vacant numbers are available.

One of the best striker performances I've seen from a Chelsea striker in the last 5 years. And it's not just the goals too. His all round game from his hustle to his pressing was beyond immense. Talk about leading a forward line! Wow.

What a game by Costa

4 goals in 3 matches

Costa and Mikel link up will be the foundation of our attack

[robsblubot 3,502]

We've got ourselves a top striker... It's been a while.

Diego Costa makes tap in look like scissor kick volley. Absolutely love the ferocious way he finishes!

[Beepu 1,714]

Amazing performance, 4 goals in 3 games. Hopefully he doesn't get too many yellows along the way.

Mourunho wanted 'balls'. He's got a truck-full of them. BadAss MotherFucker.

Yeah I know that, but the first one was undeserved. The second one, well that was silly by him.

When Drogba left, I couldn't imagine somebody filling his shoes. I can gladly say, those shoes are fitting nicely. And we still have big Drogs! Happy Days ahead my friend's!

[DoubleO 192]

Gotta love him! What an attitude! Ok, the card was a bit stupid, but he kept his nerve after that.
