Diego Costa

[RollingPapers 194]

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.

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.

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 13,570]

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.

!?!

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 28,106]

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

[DanishBlue 426]

Relax guys. I have my reservations about Costa aswell, but it's not fair to judge him after two games where almost all the spanish players played like shit. If he comes to Chelsea we can judge him after some games (not a few though - he needs time to settle in and learn about the PL). Now he will have some rest after a long season and his injury and he will be fit at the start of the next season.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Can tell that a lot of these haven't even watched Costa for more than 4 games.

[The Skipper 20,609]

yeah... especially after his knee injury.

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

costa still not.

........What's the La Liga then mate?

Yeah. Bayern should get rid off Robben for that reason then. Logic
