Dude you talk about La Liga like it is some amateur league. It has some really good sides in it. The EPL is stronger, but the gap is not that great like you seem to think.

Thw point is not about how good the teams in la liga are but how much of a difference in level their is between say the 6th/7th placed teams to the top 2 or 3. And that gap simply keeps widening as u go further down the league.

As for soldado, precisely my point which u made. He has struggles with the general physicality of the league along with the system. Same can easily be thought off for costa. Infact dont see how he becones a perfect fit (as u said), or even a better fit than mandzukic for us.

Soldado is 5'10" and was never a physical threat. Costa is 6'2" and very physical, but he throws himself to the ground far too often. If you actually want to make a fair comparison then you'd look at how Negredo has coped with the physicality of the league.

There was also the point of system that u conviniently missed.

In the Madrid derby they played with Costa alone up front and he did a great job of making himself a nuisance, bringing other players into the game and providing a threat on the break. Honestly I don't quite know what the issue is with him. As a player I don't see anything to suggest that Mandzukic would be a better choice for us, if he's even available and for what price.

Costa is younger, he's in great form, he's available for a fair price and he would seem to fit what we want. I think some people just don't like his 'character' for whatever reason and have decided to stick with that view.

I have twice told u why I think mandzukic is a better player for us and at what price he would be availabke. Not going to say it a 3rd time. Specially since u have not given me any rebuttal as to why u think costa's better.

Also if u had actually seen mario play then u ll know he is as big if nit a bigger " character" than costa. Hence your thinking that costa is being rejected simply cos of his character is just not right.

So you've told me the price he would be available? How the fuck would you know the price Bayern would sell to us?

And I have seen Mandzukic play and I think he's a good player, like Costa. Here's the thing though....I know the price he would be available for to US. Mandzukic might be available because he's being replaced with a better striker but we don't know that for certain or for what price.

You're entitled to your opinion of who is better but people don't have to acquiesce to whatever reasoning you throw up there. It seems people are just highlighting to you that every single argument you've put could've used against the signing of Drogba.

are u trying to prove my point? PL is suffering cos of many reasons. The schedule with 2 domestic cups leading to fatogue. Plus the compwtition is IMMENSE in PL. Every match is compwtitive compared to what we see in bundesliga and la liga. Add to that the number of teams in which all the talented players can go to. Their will be atleast 3/4 title challengers to 3/4 title pretenders next season. That can only be possible if and only if each and evry team can boast a couple of world class players atleast. Conpare that to la liga or bundesliga where all the talent is centralized mainly in the top 2/3 teams. I think 100% of spain's NT team players who are playing in la liga would be from the top 3. Same goes for germany. Can u say the same about PL? With the likes of shaw, lambert, lalana, baines, jagielka etc.

Hence I say that the gap between top teams and bottom teams is MASSIVE in those leagues.

And here we go again with the DD comparision. Hilarious!!!!!

Like I said before, let's sign every 25 year old who has had a good season (not even a whole season so farz n mind u) cos there just might be a chance that he ll be the next DD.

Don't think bayern would demand anything more than 32mil though. Defo not as great as 40mil ( if costa does sign the said extension and then it will just be LOL).

Also people don't have to acquiesce to my opinions but if we don't discuss about it then there goes the whole point of the system. And when people don't give a rebuttal to a very important argument about 2 players but tend to still continue arguing, then the other person prpbably would run out of things to say which is what has happened to me with u

That's not what I'm saying. That has been explained to you but you don't seem able to understand it. It's just a point about the criticisms against him and how they could equally have been applied to Didier. Do you understand that now? Are you sure? Positive?

Don't be ashamed to say you don't know something, especially in this case when you don't.

Your argument is that you think Mandzukic is better. That's it. Well done. Most people don't think there's much difference between the two but you've bought up ridiculous arguments involving Soldado for fuck knows what reason. But Costa is available for a set amount at this point in time, which makes him a realistic signing. Until there's more information about Mandzukic's cost and availability then I don't know why he's being mentioned.

Hahagaga... very true dude. Cos we surely only discuss things that are official on this forum don't we? I mean expecting chalobah to be a part of our squad was absokutely perfect thing to discuss but not the slight possibilty of mandzukic cos well, u know why? We don't know his price. LOL.

Also all of here never speculate. I mean u of all people know everythin that the club does or what its been teying to do. I mean one day we are buying costa for 32 mil, next day he is in a player + cash swap with torres and the next day he is signing a new contract. But u definitely know everything.

About DD, like younameit said, not mentioning DD in this thread is the only decent thing to do (despite the humorous and stupid like fuck conparisions).

I have an interesting question for you - if both Mandzukic and Costa were available at £32m, would you still think Mandzukic is the better player for us?

Chalobah is a player we own and was in contention for a squad place. Don't get all uppity because I pointed out that the player you're suggesting might not actually be available and you don't know his price.

Also all of here never speculate. I mean u of all people know everythin that the club does or what its been teying to do.

No, I'm saying I don't know anything beyond the price he would cost in his contract at this point in time. Again, if you're struggling to understand something just ask. Don't put words in other people's mouths, misrepresent what they type or flat out lie.

About DD, like younameit said, not mentioning DD in this thread is the only decent thing to do (despite the humorous and stupid like fuck conparisions).

Give it a fucking rest with the Saint Didier bullshit. It's a perfectly valid point to raise and just because a couple of sanctimonious members think he's too 'good' to be mentioned in this thread doesn't mean the rest of the decent members on this site shouldn't be allowed to invoke his memory.

FACT - Didier was a diver, just like Costa. His cheating helped us beat Barcelona in the CL but don't mention that because it might get a couple of members' knickers in a twist.

And that's the last I'm going to discuss this with you because it's boring talking to someone with nothing more to say than 'Mandzukic is better' :cry::cry::cry:

Definitely. I seriously doubt that mario loses to costa on an quality that we mainly need from our striker than age. The main aspect is link up play in which mario is way better. Finishing, workrate, headers, I don't see much difference. So yes, mario defibitwly for me

Mate with all due respect and I mean no offense at all, but based on this deduction/conclusion the English National team would be the GREATEST by far which is not the case. How competitive teams are in a league doesn't necessarily mean that the league is better. It depends on the style of play I think. The EPL is fast and most matches are played openly. You have to admit that in the tactical aspect the EPL is not the top league out there. The Italian league will come first. If you are talking about skill wise, then you will find ALOT in the Spanish league. After all the MLS has been very competitive same as the Ukrainian yet that doesn't really mean anything at all. They are more competitive than the EPL.
