Diego Costa

[bushman 2,043]

Diego Costa is 25. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Costa

And for me a striker hits his prime at 25, the reason you can't look back and see him score boatloads is because these are the years that those sorts of performances start to happen. Look at Cavani and Falcao for more evidence.

Sorry, my mistake, I thought he was older. He looks much older than 25. Lol.

I don't think there are many striker competitions with the same level as him for Spain. Next WC he will be 29. Torres, Villa will be gone by then. Maybe just Llorente and Negredo as a potential rivals. I see Pedro more like a winger.

It is not just them though but over next 4 years there will be more strikers breaking through. If Spain's best options in 4 years are the likes of Negredo and Llorente then they are in trouble.

Compare Lukaku & he is already signed. What´s the better deal?

I think Costa is better, but Lukaku is clearly a better deal.

Lol. Bushman's had an absolute mare.

At the moment Costa is ready Freddy, but Lukaku has potential to be even better, later.

How is that? Thick fingers, can you comprehend that?

Dude you need to go lie down, you clearly aren't on top of this situation. Just go post in the Mikel thread you're not up to speed on this one.

@ChelsTransfer: Monday saw the summit of board of directors of Atletico, chaired by the CEO and majority shareholder, Gil Marin. Some interesting notes. According to Cadena Cope & El Confidencial, Costa already signed a contract with CFC, but following CL final, is now seeking to break it. However, Costa would have to bear the penalty to break it. #Atletico CEO Gil Marin plans a pay rise to compensate & convince him to continue. Courtois is much more difficult to keep than Costa. Player wants to continue in Madrid but Mourinho wants him back at #CFC (El Confidencial)

This article says that Costa and Atleti are trying to get him out of the pre-contract he signed with us. If this is true, Atleti really fucked us, we loaned Courtois to them for 3 years, let him play in the CL semi,...

How can he "break" the contract if he's already signed it...

I'll never stop... only a moron continues to comment on something he/she knows nothing about. This is the DIEGO COSTA thread, you don't even know who he is...

[Namika 922]

Only a pre-contract, in those there's always a release clause.

I see more insults. So fuck off!

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

If this is true and I have strong suspicions of the contrary, I would let him go back to Atleti... I only want players who WANT to be here.

Seems totally legit...
