Diego Costa

If only Costa was as good as Drogba, I'd agree

I really don't know what's with people being so god damn pessimistic about everything...

We need a striker. We sign a striker. People already write him off or fear the worst. I'm not picking on you in particular, but your comment is typical of the negative atmosphere that often surrounds such a signing; even when that signing just had a very impressive season.

I'm not saying or implying he will be as good as Didier, but Jesus, he's a lot better than what we currently have, he's relatively young, has every chance to improve and he's a big, strong, scary looking bastard. I know people will always have opinions, but I don't know what more you could want in a striker. We can't realistically sign anyone else and I doubt Mandzukic is vastly superior.

My main point though is for everyone to be happy, we're signing a striker and to maybe even be a little optimistic about it. His name is Diego Costa and not Didier Drogba. I wasn't trying to explicitly trying to compare the two, I was trying to use Drogba as more of more example of a player others were fearful of. However, if people start with negative comparisons i.e. "Oh Drogba would've scored that" etc. well then of course they're already setting themselves up for a disappointment. With such attitudes, I can sadly already envision a scenario where Costa turns into a villain much, much quicker than Torres did simply because he isn't as clean cut, didn't come for a insane fee and isn't "PL proven" (which means fuck all in all honesty).

Let's all just put our negativity aside for a while and support our soon to be player, shall we?

i think we should keep lukaku as a replacement to costa because he is likely to get many injuries due to his tackles

me too mate was hoping this would be done before I headed to work!!

[The Rising Sun 696]

Not happening today. Surely We would have heard something from these Journalists.

None of them have the balls to say there is going to be an announcement today, as it probably isnt.

So much nonsense these guys speak, One person must have said tuesday, and all the rest of them jump on the Tuesday bandwagon.
