Diego Costa

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Costa will be fine, shit. Ronaldo and Hazard both hurt their hamstrings, wouldn't you want them on your team?

Just play it safe, why the rush anyway? The only top team that need a striker is Arsenal and if it come down to us vs them we will win all day long. The like of PSG, Man City will not steal him because most of the top teams already got top strikers.

So who is your best bet u think wil not flop in the three mention above ??

As i said i would go for Cavani he is the perfect striker.

If we fail which is quite likely to get any of those 3 i would go for Benzema or Balotelli.

[zolayes 14,489]

Wow, wait, hold on a sec. Now we should go for another striker, because the horse placenta treatment didn't work?

it would have worked fine with Heskey

carry on

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

never like the idea of buying someone when they're damaged... Proceed with caution Chelsea.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I would blame the horse then

[zolayes 14,489]

time for a reality check ... AM had the two biggest games in their history . They gambled twice ,, and lost both times .

Now Diego almost certainly won't go to the WC .. He will get an extra 2 months to recover . Surely with proper

medical care that should deal with a muscle problem . I am sure when Eva gets her hands on his thigh he will feel much

better,

It's just a hamstring injury, Torres injured his knee ffs.. it will not be serious.

They won La Liga....

[yuvala 2,167]

Please shut up with the Torres comparisons, please.

[zolayes 14,489]

They won La Liga....

yes despite the gamble of playing Diego not because of it

Torres injury history:

http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fernando-torres/verletzungen/spieler/7767

Notice how Torres has suffered at least 3-4 major knee injuries compared to Costa's zero. And they even have it wrong. Some of the blank spaces are actually knee injuries as well so Torres might have had at least 7 knee injuries in his career. Maybe even more.

Diego Costa injury history:

http://www.transfermarkt.com/diego-costa/verletzungen/spieler/44779

Costa so far in his career, apart from doing his ACL 3 years ago has had no major injuries in his career. His hamstring is just not being allowed to heal properly.

It's like comparing apples with oranges.

[Pizy 17,860]

So are we positive he won't be going to the World Cup? I really would delay/cancel the deal if he goes and fucks up his injury even more.

Thank you.

#Atletico Madrid CEO Angel Gil Marin: "Regarding Diego Costa, we have made a very aggressive approach for him to stay. Depends on him"

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Was there anyone out there that was surprised that Costa's hamstring didn't hold after 7 days of recovery? That's the real question.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Degenerative knees and a hamstring injury are two very different things. NO need to compare but an injured player is an injured player... I'm not all gung-ho about this move as I used to be. He is a beast but I don't like hamstring injuries, especially in succession they can be tricky.
