Diego Costa

[LAM09 6,744]

What a laugh. LOL!

[Special Juan 27,424]

I didn't expect him to stop TBH.

[Liquidator 5,176]

I don't care how many games he gets banned for/if it costs us the league, if he choke slams Rio Ferdinand when we play QPR on 1 November he deserves a statue next to Ossie

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Playing a normal game, still get a goal. Unstoppable really, 25 goals should be easy providing he stays fit.

[Special Juan 27,424]

How dangerous is this fella…..seriously that header was superb.

[Melanicus 5,208]

Diego Costa is now just 12 league goals away from equalling Fernando Torres' league tally for Chelsea...

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

F***ing beast

[Barbara 15,149]

I wonder if he'll improve his aerial threat. He had three headers today and the third one was the charm. It's no secret it's the area he is less impressive, but still, IIRC it's the second header he's scored for us...

Do you guys think he'll improve it? We have some aerial monsters in the team on Terry, Iva and of course, Didier. Maybe they can give him some tips and we could make a work with him on that. Can you imagine if he becomes a threat there too?

Even if he doesn't though, he's amazing, much more than I've expected and seriously, it feels so good to have a proper striker. This man is perfect and he has an amazing personality. Funny, light hearted and I haven't seen any hint of he hot headed guy from Atlético yet. Most of his yellows, if not all of them, he didn't even deserve them. Hope he keeps it up and when the unavoidable suspension comes we can make it happen in one of the cups.

There's a reason he was up there with Ronaldo in la liga goals last season. As long as he's on the pitch he's in the mood to score.

And missing doesn't seem to affect him like some others, it only makes him more hungry.

Man it feels good to have a proper striker.

He suits our team so well.

EL BESATO!!

He'll do it by the 30th round at this rate

heading from open play is more difficult than from set pieces .

JT Iva and to a lesser extent Cahill get their headed goals from corners

Diego Costa. I love you.

[thehappyone 140]

Everyone quote me and say how many league goals Costa will have before new years. I reckon 26.

Jose said in his post match presser that Diego Costa will go to full fitness levels only if Del Bosque keeps him out of the national squad and lets him work with the medical staff at Cobham for these two weeks. Otherwise, it will be the same for God knows how long - one game he's good to go, the other one he is in danger to tear that muscle again.

Who is Spain playing anyway? Is it some European powerhouse? If not and if it's some bollocks national teams coming from the 3rd world of football then let him stay at Cobham ffs, they have plenty of talent to take care of whoever they play against.

We have to bring this up again, but whoever in Brazil who decided not the call up Costa is looking pretty stupid. I can see the conversation now....'We have Fred, we don't need no stinking Diego Costa'

If Rooney was able to improve his heading vastly at the age of 25 in that 2010 season, I think the beast that is Diego Costa is more than capable of it as well. Didier will advise him. Costa also seems like a guy who just wants to learn and do absolutely everything because he is so hungry for goals.
