Dude I was saying all that about benzema not costa..

Infact I was saying how costa, is better than benzema for US.

My bad yo

Diego Costa. That would be nice! Let's get him!

[1chelsea 864]

If go blindfolded I will still pick cavani, but if boss say it ok with costa then I understand cavani demand is too high

[Drogzola 283]

To be honest, ANYTHING will be better than what we have had to endure with Fernando Torres, so I really hope we get him.

benzema is having a great season??? Dude He was DROPPED for the first el-classico for BALE up top as a striker, who by the way had just come back from injury plus with no pre-season. That was the extent at how poor benzema was in the first couple of months.

He did comeback strong but still doea not change the fact about him. I mean I was watching sevilla vs real, and he had 5 good chances in the first 10minutes. Its been his trend all season.

Are you kidding? Benzema is having his best season at Madrid. He's even come close to overtaking Ronaldo as the top scorer.

I still wouldn't want him at chelsea though.

[HD3D 1,038]

Costa is perfect for us. Good finisher, we don't need the striker to make chances when we have Schurrle, Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Salah, Matic.

No, but if we're gonna be spending big, and we will, then we might as well get a striker that is not only a goal scorer but actually creative as well.

Jovetic.

Jovetic.

That ship has sailed.

[Sovieticus 743]

That ship has sailed.

Apparently so..

I have had a bid discussion with skipper. Not going to discuss benzema again.

People who dint see the classico would say benzema was great against barca as he scored 2. Anyone who did watch the classico would say he should havr put the game beyond barca. But when u just see the stats at the end of the season, they are 2 goals. So numbers don't always say the whole story or even the correct story.

I'd still take Balotelli is we could pry him from Seedorf. If we are going to be dealing with antics I'd rather be laughing in embarrassment with Balo then be upset and embarrassed with Costa. We could use his shot.

[Mr_President 404]

No thanks to Balotelli, would rather just give Lukaku a go than bring that clown over here as our no1 striker. I think Balotelli is more talented than Luaku (also older) but doesn't have the maturity and we cannot rely on him. We need a winner, someone we can rely on. If we're going to spunk money on a new CF we should be making sure it's the right CF. And let's be honest, we don't want City's sloppy seconds. Statswise Lukaku and Balotelli are similar this season (notwithstanding the fact that I'm sure Balotelli's record is cushioned by his penalty taking? - haven't bothered looking this up though).

Yes with Balo you get a clown but with Costa you get a scumbag, Costa is the dirtiest player of 2013-2014 and he was worse last season ( he has done alright to contain a lot of himself this year). Balo is winner there is no doubt about it and he is becoming more mature and realizing that he a professional and he is here to work. Diego Costa is a moron and I am willing to bet will never string together an English sentence. Anyone remember when he trips the little kid in training and when he chokes the Sevilha player? His betrayal of Brazil by joining Spain is also something else. A least Balo has a soul and he's still only 23. Based on their play alone it's hard to chose I don't see a landslide for either player but I would choose Balo for his dribbling and shooting which is much better than Costa's.

When they came up against one another in the Champions League, Costa scored and Balotelli managed to argue himself into a yellow card....one that would have seen him banned from the 1st leg of the next round.

He's not becoming more mature. I'd love it if he would because then he'd be worth a punt but at the moment he is wildly inconsistent. You yourself admit that Costa has stepped up this season whereas I don't think the same can be said of Balotelli. As for the nationality thing, who gives a fuck? If the guy feels a greater affinity with Spain than Brazil then good luck to him.

Yh agreed haha nationality play a part now? Costa could be Nigerian for all I care(no offense intended), this is a football club not a political organization.

Well I don't know he banged them in regularly for Lyon too from really young and has improved over the year. What make you think we got the luxury of choosing the player that WE WANT OR THINK IS RIGHT FOR THE CLUB? btw if he is so bad like you said I am sure even if we bid 40m now Real wouldn't sell, and that say a lot doesn't it especially for a club with history of discarding world class players when they are not glamor enough.

Even if it is Balotelli or Benzema or Costa, we WILL TAKE ANY OF THEM if it meant we can get rid all 3 of our strikers. Hell even Martinez will do.

I would rather keep Torres than get Balotelli tbh.

Not only is he overrated, but he's also mentally retarded, clinically. God knows the type of shit we would have to deal with week in week out.

[iseah100 5,612]

Costa is not much better than Balotelli, who has great potential, i just doubt Balo ever reaches it due to his immaturity. So what if Costa is dirty? He doesn't get in trouble so it doesn't matter.
