Diego Costa

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Yep, but I reckon we wait until Remy is fully recovered and if he misses 6 weeks he'll be back no late than mid-December. We can't afford not having him for the tough Christams period IMO.

That will be shaving it real close. Remy doesn't return for at least 10 days, add to that 6 weeks and you'll arrive at around 20 December. But what if his recovery takes a week longer than expected? Can we take the risk of having him miss the Christmas period?

I'm not sure what our fixtures are but I think it is better to do it in Jan were the fixtures are usually thin and he'd be back before the knock-out stages of the CL.

I prefer Costa at the moment with only playing once a week, rather than missed him in one and a half month. Also you never know could he back on track immediately after recovery period. I believe we have an experience before with pending surgery ( Cech, if I'm not wrong ), should wait until next summer, I think.

It's a tricky one. It's risky to not have him for Christmas with 4 games in 10 days but in the other hand if he needs a surgery and we keep delaying it he can get injured more seriously. Nobody (I assume) wants to see the Atletlico scenario from last season repeating here.

Was just thinking every other Brazilian in our squad is married and I have never even heard of Costa being linked with a girl. Does he have a girlfriend at all?

From the article 'Now, well adapted to his new country and even with a Spanish daughter, Diego Costa would rather look forwards.'

[Barbara 15,149]

I reckon him and Terry getting along fine

there's a reason why he calls him 'Capitano'

Mourinho did talk about him after Shrews

edit: also a quote from the UCL interview that I really love

“Defeat can be useful for you if - and only if - you draw important lessons from it. My hunger to win is one of my fundamental assets. If one day I lose that desire then I’ll not be useful any more.”

— Diego Costa

So who is lying here? Spain NT doctor, Jose, Costa or Eva?

Since he was out, only against Maribor we scored more than 2 goals. We miss him

Today

Looks healthy to me.

Was discussing with my mum last night whilst watching the City game how we cannot wait to go at the weekend and see Costa against Ferdinand then I checked BBC Football to see he had been banned Furious, wanted to see Costa tear him apart.

Ferdinand would have claimed that Costa scoring after sitting him down is racism. We know what this cunt is like. I will never be upset about not seeing that shit excuse for a human being on the pitch, I hate him so much I think it's mildly unhealthy.

And the Del Bosque vs. Mourinho drama over Costa continues.....

[iseah100 5,612]

Del Bosque is such a fucking piece of shit.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Costa is back

[beyondinvisible 47]

I hope he plays and scores. It would be great for him, having been out with the injuries.
