Diego Costa

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

If true I'm happy. barring the brain fart against Everton Costa has shown a passion and fighting spirit for the club, Fabregas being another, bring in another top striker to fight out with him for the starting place and that'd be awesome.

Good news indeed!

Media reported Jose wanted him gone, but now we're experiencing different times.

75 mio. seems like a lot of cash but in today's market, is it worth to replace him with someone like Cavani, Higuain or Lukaku?

Don't think so and the likes of Lewandowski, Suarez and Benzema aren't available.

If 75 mil can't buy Kane the transfer market has gone bananas. Not that he'd want to join. So yeah.

Lewy denied Modric the switch for about 50 mil so a few years later i don't think they would sell us their star player.

With Chelsea, it's a different story, maybe Real could get Kane for 75 mil.

Damn, Levy. After years of producing nothing, that bald leprechaun seems to have found his pot of gold. I really like that team. You can do things with that spine.

They play better these days, but over the last weeks they have regressed quite a lot, media likes them, some English lads making the country happy and so on, but let's see where they are going to be next season.

Dortmund fucked them badly, yes, genius Poch rested some of them, but it shows that the squad isn't that good.

But i agree with you some of the young lads are very exciting to watch.

I'm not saying they can challenge for the CL but it's a good foundation for more. PL is different though. Top teams aren't that strong. But only if they make a couple of smart purchases.

I watch Dortmund and they're simply outstanding. That pathetic B-team Spurs fielded could never compete with them so a spanking wasn't shocking. When in form, they can go head to head with the best of teams.

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

I'm curious, what type of strikers wouldn't suite Conte's style?

The ones that dont work hard. The ones that dont fight till end of the game.

Tevez aside, his main strikers at Juve (Matri, Quagliarella, Llorente..etc.)  weren't particularly hard working. And with Italy he has Balotelli...

In italy nt, he plays Pelle instead of Balotelli for this particular reason. 

Llorente never suceeded at juve, matri had one good season that he never repeated and Quagliarela wasnt all that great under Conte either.

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.

Considering you aint too happy with Matic, Hazard etc...I believe you would be pissed at Cavani quite soon if he ever gets here.

Inconsistent, misses in big games (except vs chelsea), frustrating player to watch in general.

Mate, you ran out of strikers that have worked with him 

You can argue that any one of them was not successful in a certain period, but everyone of them helped Conte win titles (before the Serie A was a walk in the park. Juve were massive underdogs in his first two seasons). 

My point is, you can't say that from all the strikers that have worked with him only Tevez was his 'style'.

Diego will be up for it

 

My only worry is that he might try so hard that he injures himself, like he did against PSG. Damn, I think we would have qualified if he kept that up for 90 mins...

 

[Abreu 14]

Impossible not to be a fan of a player like that , and always of blood every game , even in bad times , can still be participatory and decisive . Unstoppable .

[Beigl 1,387]

I got so angry when he overlooked Hazard in the 2 vs 3 situation. He lacks a little bit of football IQ sometimes, but still he put in a good performance today and showed fighting spirit.
