Diego Costa

[Essien19 1,415]

£72m is a lot of money 

What good is the money for when there isn't a better option available?

Why take the risk when we don't have to?

We could use the money for Dybala if we couldn't get him I would keep Costa on his day he's a handful

73 mio. should be enough to get Dybala these days, but the boy would be new to the league, so there's still a risk that he might flop here. I don't see why we should do it, except if Costa wants out.

But i don't see it!

Imagine thinking Diego Costa (one of the best #9's in the world when on form) would go to China at the age of 26-27. The same guy who is reported to be struggling to acclimate to London is going to go to a country that couldn't possibly be more culturally different than what he knows.

What a clown article.

Why would Dybala want to move here after 1 season at Juve? He rejected the likes of Arsenal in the summer as he said he wanted to stay in Italy. No chance he is leaving regardless if Costa stays or leaves. Few years I imagine him being at Barca but next season he will defo be at Juve.

Not sure if its been said here yet but according to France Football, his agent Jorge Mendes offered him to PSG.

If Diego is indeed thinking about leaving, I think selling him to PSG and using him to land Cavani would be the best option for us. I'm sure Costa would rather return to Atleti but it's not always up to the players to choose their destination.

Him leaving us seem more probable by the day. A swap deal for Cavani would be a suitable move if PSG's interest is true.

[Special Juan 27,439]

I absolutely love Cavani, should of done everything we can years ago to get him here.

His movement is still world class and I would have him pronto.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I've said it before, I have no issues whatsoever with him leaving. On the contrary I think it would spell a positive change for the club.

Costa-Cavani or Costa-Higuain? I think I'm more partial to Higuain tbh, what a season he's had.

We've read more "He's shit now" comments about Cavani than good ones since he moved to PSG, and i haven't been watching him, but good ol' Wikipedia says 48 goals in 92 games. Perhaps because Ibra's a freak, more was expected, but with the proof of how he can play for Napoli + the fact he averages a goal every 2 games or less makes me rub my hands at the idea. He's built for this league. And i'd hazard a guess that he'd score even more goals if he was actually motivated by being in a popular league.

[Leif 6,006]

Wikipedia is fucking up my morning. Who knew Costa has a better goal-to-game ratio than he did at Atletico. It does not feel like it.

Am i the only one who has no feelings towards this era of Chelsea players? couldn't care less if we sell Costa at all, good striker but we'll replace him. The only players i actually semi-like are Terry (obv), Willian, Zouma, Azpi, Hazard, Cesc and the younger guys. The likes of Costa, Courtios and Matic can all leave for all i care.

I would put the likes of cesc and hazard in that list too, as well as oscars and pedros.

I would like Costa to stay but if he wants to go then sell him and used that money to get Lukaku back if Chelsea and Conte want him.

No surprise, Costa is one of few that definately suit Conte style.
