just proved my argument. you havent watched one game from him 2 seasons ago. he played on the wings mostly, because of falcao. thats why he didnt score much, because their game was based upon Falcao. he still got 10 goals AND 12 assists. thats not uninmpressive if you ask me, for someone, who only plays the second fiddle to the top tier striker. he was already a beast the season before. and he was great for Rayo Vallecano too.

I watched at least 10 games last season and I know whete he played etc. unlike rest of you I am.not super excited about him, and in my.opinion he.is.not yet there.with Lewandowski, Suarez, aquero etc... But.I agree he is.better than torres, eto and Ba which isn't really that hard.

Imo he is as good as Lewan and this season proves that. Suarez, Aguero, Falcao, Cavani, Ibra are best in the world level, hardly anyone is up there with them. They have been doing that for some time now.

Strikers are best at 25-30, i think he would make instant impact and he's also great for future 4-5 years, also we don't need young talent, we need proven player.

As I already said he is.better than.our strikers, but I don't think he is worth 32 mil pounds...thas what we paid for Hazard 32 mil... I know the prices are inflated etc but it's too much anyway..

If he is avaliable now than it's worth imo, of course if this was summer i would say that's too much, if we want to fight for the title and go far in CL this year, lacking of proper striker can be later crucial.

We have to sign a striker, now or in summer, and i think it's better to sign someone now to have easier time this season than wait till summer...

Maybe i'm greedy though...

There is no point in talking about Diego Costa being an unproven player. He has lived in the shadow of Falcao and everybody wanted to see if he can hit the jackpot now that Falcao is gone. And he did. Diego Costa is a beast. Falcao was a joy to behold in his Atletico Madrid days and he was maybe a better finisher than Diego Costa, but Costa offers more to this Atletico team. He's not just a poacher, he is a complete forward - he likes to pass the ball, he likes to dribble, he drops deep to get his balls and, my God, his off-the-ball game is unbelievable. He is a nightmare for every defender and I think this Chelsea team suits him best as we're not looking for a poacher, we're looking for a hard working Wayne Rooney type of striker that can be all kinds of things in a game - a poacher, a "10", an "8" and Diego Costa has all this attributes. And another thing: this guy is the Ramires of strikers - his tank is always full and he is always ready to take on opponents.

You don't score 23 goals in 21 apps by luck. He is La Liga's topscorer, above the likes of Cristiano, Messi and Benzema. You score 10, let's say 12 goals by luck, but not 23. I think this topic should be closed for now and opened back in the summer because I don't think there is any chance he'll leave in this transfer window. Atletico is fighting for the championship and they welcome Barcelona next week and they will have a chance for sure in case of a positive result. And I don't even know if Costa wants a new challenge now when he is having the time of his life and with the World Cup coming too. Let him net another 15-20 goals this season and trigger his release clause just before the World Cup starts so you don't have to worry about his price exploding in case he is having a hell of a tournament. Or trigger his release clause now, convince him to sign and let him on loan at Atletico for the rest of the season.

Why are you guys talking about him like he's actually coming here?

Yeah I would love him at Chelsea but he seems to love Spain way too much to leave for Chelsea. His safest bet is also to stay in Spain to try and make it to the world cup, instead of going to a new club and seeing if he can bang in goals as much as he currently is in La Liga.
