Diego Costa

Well, this means we’ve actually not spent a penny this summer. Quite impressive tbh.

They can't really do that can they? First of all he's unavailavle until January because of Atletico's ban and second of all the transfer window is closed and he won't be officially their player anytime soon.

Not sure what the rule is with the official unveiling but don't think there's anything that stops them from casually (re-)introducing Costa to the Atleti crowd.

Don't care what anybody says. 20 PL goals in two seperate PL Title winning seasons. The Diego Costa experience overall was a net positive. 

Now time to buy a 2nd Striker that is either an out and out ST or that can play the RF role (like a Dele Ali or Griezmann.)

What about Timo Werner??

Given the circumstances that sounds like a good deal for us. But then again I'm not especially thrilled with the situation that leads to us losing one of our best strikers since I'm watching football. Don't get me wrong, Diego has only himself to blame and it's never nice to keep a disruptive player around no matter how talented he is. Obviously Conte thought the same and the club supported him which was the right thing to do.

He is good but we need someone who's approaching his peak or is in his peak. Worth remembering that Willian and Pedro are also getting on a bit. Both 29 and 30 respectively already.

Great player on form, shame he was a cunt.

If we get transfer banned we won't be spending for a while ffs 

Looking at some of the young guns that played against Forest last night we  may not need to I thought Musonda was a young Hazard, and his happiness when he scored was a joy to see. None of the guys that played looked overawed. I was really impressed with them to be honest

What about Tammy? He can come in an we have Morata, Tammy and Bats. That might not be that bad. 

Let's see how Tammy develops this season at Swansea

That's an utterly suicidal strikeforce to have for a club like ours. There are already doubts as to whether having Morata and Batshuayi is enough to compete on all fronts and adding Tammy into the mix will only add more doubts. Even if he develops well at Swansea, he's still only 19 years old and it would be unfair to expect so much from him at this point to contribute big time for us.

If he wasn't a cunt he wouldn't be half the player he is.

Adiós Diego, it was a unique experience having you at this club!
