Just hope he doesn't go into Suarez mode of cunt or we are dead. Even punching and kicking will result in 3 games ban here usually compared with Spain where you get nothing.

I want him in the face of every defender and backing into people, be that difficult to mark and feared striker we need.

Proper Jose player.

I like Costa but some people here are so desperate to announce this signing like we just signed Messi+Ronaldo. :ph34r:

That is what happen when you have money robbing players pretending to be strikers for 10 years.

Glad it's official although I've assumed he's been our player for about two months now. Be excited to see him finally take the pitch because I think he'll surprise a few people with his size and movement.

If he continues to do what he did for Atletico then he gives the players behind him far more space to operate in as well as a target who constantly makes runs beyond the last man, as well as an obvious target for crosses. Personality-wise he doesn't seem the type to let his head drop and I can't think many defenders will want to face him.

Still has everything to prove though and needs to keep on the right side of aggressive and not drift into dirty, but another nice bit of business by the club.

How will this be accomplished? Our problem was finishing off the rare chance that was created against deep defending teams. Its not like defenders never accounted for Torres, Eto'o and Ba, its that they never finished off the few opportunities we've had to score against that type of team. The space for the AMids thing is a bit of a non-issue for me.

None of our strikers last season actually stretched defences. They didn't push them back, they didn't play on the last man, they rarely had decent movement (Eto'o at times was criminal in just standing around) and they didn't bully defenders. Our strikers last season were woeful.

Plus he's far stronger in the air than those three which is another thing you want when teams play deep.

I would argue there wasn't a whole lot of space to stretch. When a team is so compact the space in behind them is non-existent.

I would agree we need a bully, a guy that will fight for space in the box but don't think that Costa will be the key to opening up the game for our AttMids.

What I'm hoping will occur is we will be more clinical with the chances that do fall and thus force teams to come out at us a bit. We weren't very good in tight spaces last year and as much as I believe Costa is an upgrade in this area he's not a solution IMO.

I don't think D. Costa on his own will be the full solution too but coupled with our other signings (Fabregas and F. Luis - still pending) we should be able to stretch out and exploit other teams far more effectively than before. Costa doesn't stop running and is always adamant to create spaces for those behind him with his movement. Filipe Luis overlapping Hazard will create space. Azpi back in his natural position also stretching the pitch will also create space... And someone like Fabregas who can pick out players exceptionally, added with someone like Schurrle who makes brilliant, intelligent runs... We'll definitely find it a lot easier to break down teams that sit deeper.

I am going to repeat myself but imagine someone doing this to Costa

It's such a great feeling to have some kind of a 'cunt' up front and not some weak ladyboy. The defenders will finally have some fears again.

costa would break ferdinands fukin face if he did that

You've been moaning about Costa everywhere on the previous thread. Time to give it a rest on this new one.

Don't reckon if your trolling or simply posting bullshit to be honest. Don't need to act like a desperate Costa lover geez i was checking the previous thread where most moaned about why this deal was taking so much to get it done. As for your statement totally false..
