Diego Costa

[Viper22 2,418]

BBC just said he hasn't had a shot on target this entire tournament :/

I think I heard them say he had 41 touches of the ball in both games though. That's not exactly ideal.

And how much did so called world class players like Iniesta contribute? Or the so called amazing Silva...it all knits in, you can't have a go at one and ignore all

Iniesta was okay. Silva was shit.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Guess Silva, Iniesta, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Azpilicueta etc. are all average players as well.

Lol.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Iniesta was okay. Silva was shit.

Yeah all Costa's fault.

[Mohammed Seif 1,451]

Costa is a great signing for us. The guy is recovering from an injury and a LONG TOUGH season. Same as most of the Spanish players and players who play for Barca, Real, and Atletico. Iniesta looks tired, Ramos, Xavi, Pique,....everyone. Even Contrao and Christiano looked very tired and still need recovery. I think we should take it easy, and not get ahead of ourselves. I mean the players haven't had a rest yet and for crying out loud the season hasn't started yet. How about we judge our players after they play for us a decent amount of games for a change?

More proof that this guy is just average and is not a world class striker. Stop finding excuses for him being average

[Toli 977]

Compare Costa at Atletico with this one. Del Bosque didnt have a clue how to use him and Spain were awful. People are deluded if they think he is shit because of his Apps for Spain. Maybe you also think that Iniesta, Silva, Busquets, Ramos etc etc are all shit too? Oh and yeah basing one game, Ronaldo is awful too and Müller is the best striker in the world btw.

Costa fits much better in our system than in the Tiki-Taka of Spain.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Knew this thread would be a good laugh after a match like that!

On a serious note, if we do sign Costa, I'll judge him only at the end of the coming season.

[nono 791]

Also he looks closer to 30 than 26.

So we have to put up with all this shit from our own fan what will it look like from other fan I hope costa prove all those none believer wrong if he sign

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Sigh!!! He played whilst still not 100% as far as I can tell in a team where strikers may as well have borrowed harry potter invisibility cloak.. but yes he's shit, he's a one season wonder and we need to back out now. It's depressing reading between here and twitter

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Actually Falcao for 25-35m is better than Costa at 32m

yeah... especially after his knee injury.

Guess Silva, Iniesta, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Azpilicueta etc. are all average players as well.

Lol.

Iniesta, Xabi, Alonso - achieved something big in their career.

costa still not.

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Also he looks closer to 30 than 26.

!?!

You asked how many games TOPTB has watched this season with Costa in and said you'd watched 5 and he was shit in all 5, suggesting he'd been shit this season. I'm not going to rise to your pathetic insults and childish swearing either, so you might as well stop before you get a ban.

I asked a genuine question. I then added that I hadn't watched him much but he had been poor in those games. Please point out where I said he'd had a shit season.. or did you just make an assumption and ran with it with your sarcastic reply? Even an idiot knows he was one of La Ligas top scorers last season.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Anyone seen how well Cassilas has done?? Didn't think so, but let's focus solely on Costa and blame him for all the Spanish short comings
