Diego Costa

Ok, touche...

Haha it's so crazy to think Juan Sebastian Veron used to be a Chelsea player. Loved that guy, amazing player. Such a shame it never worked out.

Welcome to Chelsea, Diego! Can't wait to see him banging some goals in and pissing off the opponent.

I didn't like him since the last year match but I welcome him and wish him good luck.

You know, Torres scored 20+ goals in 12-13 and his season was decent overall. So I'm hoping for a impressive season rather than 'good numbers'.

Torres scored a lot of goals in the Europa League that year.

Obviously Costa's general performances need to be of a high standard but I want the numbers too. I'm hoping Costa can deliver 20+ goals and consistently good performances, and that is something Torres has never and will never give us.

Also not to forget that those ~20 goals from Torres came in 60+ appearances. The ratio isn't that impressive. I still thought he had an average to poor season because he only scored like 7 of those 20 odd in the PL. The majority of the others were against inferior teams in the EL or in one of the cups.

He wasn't, that stat is deceiving, the first half of that season until Demba arrived he played the full 90 in all but 5 games (both United games, one sent off the other suspended, subbed on at Juve, subbed off at QPR and WBA).

If we gave Costa similar minutes he would get much more imo.

My all time favourite on Facebook was after Kalas' loan was made. An african "Chelsea fan" wrote: "Sack jose !" I literally threw up

Still amazes me Torres has managed to be Chelsea player for so long.

Chelsea haven't had a in-form striker since 09/10! Diego has to change this.

Welcome to Chelsea, Diego!

Now go & terrorise them defenders & bang in them goals!!

[Special Juan 27,111]

A huge shot in the arm for this lad would be two goals or more against Burnley, first chance BOOOOOM!!!

Massive confidence shot for him.

I know. I still say he was decent though. His overall game was decent that season, but it depends on your expectations I think. I've heard people say Messi was poor last season. Any other player having a similar season would be lauded.

And I wasn't comparing Costa to Torres. I was just saying having nice stats at the end of the season isn't enough.

Everything anybody needs to know about Costa ^^

That is quality

I probably laughed more than I should have.

We definitely need a good back-up for when Costa is injured/off-form/inevitably suspended. Not sure Lukaku fits the bill.

Hahahaha that video is just brilliant xDDD

I just can't stop seeing a new Drogba in Costa... Something about his face, build and playstyle that always prompts word Drogba in my head. I really like that he plays for Spain who are lacking a major striker atm, so if he does well here, he will be spearheading their attack for sure. Finally a striker who can kick the shit out of opposition if needed
