Diego Costa

How did he do, I couldnt watch the game.

I was distracted by other games, but according to match reports he did nothing.

I just cant help but feel tht he is a one season wonder,

Nothing worked for him last night, he was sooooo nervous and his first touch was abysmal.

Was average but grew into the game the longer it went. He got into some good positions and offered others space, but he also had a poor first touch throughout the game

This is the only reservation I have on him. I never like attackers with bad first touch. Its so important in such tight areas.

I hope it was just down to nerves though.

Some of you need to realize that Costa is not going to be a massive goal-scorer for us (IMO atleast).

Those of you who say "one season wonder" - I'd bet that you're right stats wise, goals wise.. I don't think he's gonna score for us as much as he did this season.

But, its not only about the stats and the amount of goals, especially when it's for Chelsea.

We don't necessarily need someone who'd bang in 30+ a season, it's just not how we're set out to play.

Costa is always a threat to the opposition, always causing troubles, there's always a chance for him to score \ win the game. He is not like say Torres, who barely ever is a threat and doesn't even require much attention from the CBs.

There will finally be someone with presence in the box, someone we can cross to, someone for our attackers to find, someone to deliver to.

And he is also a WARRIOR, a fighter, not a fucking pussy who will lose hope and be lazy or whatever..

Even if he doesn't score 30+, he can certainly lead the line and I'm sure that he could do good for us and contribute to our game far more than Torres Eto'o or Ba.

He's also 25 and I dont think we'll pay 50m.. 30m would be a fair price and it wont be a Torres situation.

You and anyone who saw him play in the Portuguese league will always be cautious about him.

He is one of those players that would be amazing for Liverpool if they signed him but, would probably flop here.

Almost every.striker would flop here...that's chelsea's way...

Ancelotti explained it best. chelsea don't look to release the striker to run on goal like Liverpool do. one of the reasons why strikers don't score for fun at chelsea

We would but there is no one capable of doing that in our strike-force, so we can't.

Wait till next season

When we have a striker that loves to make runs behind defences like costa, and not a static one like torres, you'll see this more.

Torres was doing it at Liverpool. stopped doing it later on at chelsea.
