Ridiculous how supporters can write this guy off before he even put on a blue shirt. Come on guys, support our players and actually wish them a successful spell with Chelsea.

I will support him...

Using this to once again post the footballing brain that is His Highness Didi Hamann's pronouncements back in August : "Costa is overrated. He had a couple of good years for Atlético Madrid, but his

He just scored 27 league goals in Spain for the title winning team, why is it mad to think that he can get 20 for us?

You just wait and see. Deep inside we all know this season of his was a one time thing.

DEFENSE in the Premier League is much tougher.

True.

Hiim along with Oscar, Hazard, and Cesc have alot to prove this coming for various reasons. Hopefully that motivates them to play at another level. But as long as we make him the focal point in our attack, he'll perform. Our strikers have struggled partly because our CAM were the main point in our offense

That's a myth, the only top defence in the premierleague is ours, and Costa won't be facing them.

City's is ok, Arsenal's is sometimes solid but other times all over the place, Liverpool and Spurs defences belong on the comedy channel and as for the bottom half teams..................

PL defences were at there best tactically between 2005-2009, ever since 2011 the defensive quality has declined rapidly.

Yes but teams will sit deep against us and Costa in spain scored most goals against open defences. Hell he wont have such space here available. Thats only reason I question Costa buy. Maybe we should throw another 10/20m and get striker who can do about everything (unfortunely no one is available).

And if City gets Mangala, they will have realy good defence, unless Mangala flops big time.

Since you are speaking, PL defences were much better in past indeed. Cech, Riccy, Terry, Cole; Saar, Rio, Vidic, Evra,.etc...those were amazing defenders, but the fall isnt just in premier league. Other leagues are weaking too, there is no Puyol, Salgado, Helguera in spain anymore or Thuram, Blanc in france. Every year, we are having worse and worse defenders, even so called best in world ala Luiz, Hummels, Ramos, Pique (lol) etc can be real flops on their day more often than not. Cannavaro, Terry, Puyol etc had much more competition in past. They were equal to each other but if any of those was playing now; he would be best defender in world by miles. Worth 100m if Luiz is 50. Saddly the quality has lowered and I hope Mou finds quality CB prospects (I hope Zouma can be that guy) that will lead our defence in future because finding realy good and proven CB nowdays is impossible.

Athletico did face packed defenses last season, they were further ahead in team development so found a way nine times out of ten compared to seven for us. And us struggling vs those defences owed to us making awful decisions in the final third more than how good the defenses were, hopefully with Cesc, Costa and the rest a year older that won't be as bad an issue next term.

Im not saying other leagues haven't declined defensively aswell, but I do believe that the PL don't have the best collective defensive units either, 2nd place Liverpool shipped 50, 6th place Spurs lost 20-1 overall to the top two and 4th place Arsenal conceded two 6s and a 5 away against the teams above them.

The questions we all need to ask ourselves is: "Does Costa have that 'Killer Instinct' inside of him"? Was this season of his a one time thing or does he really have that 'Scorer' trait?

I am not sure he does. He will have to do a lot of proving.
