Diego Costa

[Barbara 15,149]

If I could I would quote myself over the last few preseason matches or this thread around in preseason.

Costa is the kind of player that thrives on competitiveness, he never looks sharp, interest or intense in preseason. It's the odd game when he does.

So I see nothing unexpected or that detracts from his quality - deficiencies and all. This is just who Costa is, he usually doesn't turn on killer mode even towards the end of preseason, it's been like that since the beginning. Nothing new

Costa needs a team that works around him. He is just not the kind of player that beats a bunch on his own. Instead he scores all his goals in the box from clever movement or counters where there isn't many players in the way.

Yeah, his body language looks kind of...off. Like he knows he's playing in a meaningless match so he can't bring himself to really try or care. Pretty poor attitude to have to be honest, but that's just who he is.

Truthfully, though, it's probably for the best that he doesn't exert himself too much before the season kicks off. We need him 100% fit from the get go.

I take it he didnt get his hamstrings operated on during the summer...?

[blueblood22 50]

is he injured or it's possible he leaving us soon? because he is not on the squad against Liverpool... 

[Chelseabluerising 60]

His Instagram post made me wonder he said thank you my friends and has took any mention of Chelsea off his bio and changed his Chelsea profile pic 

Really hope he isn't leaving. 

[Parky 739]

Yea was wondering where he was today. Really hope he stays with us as I still believe he is one of the top strikers in the game. Last season he was poor but all our players were with the exception of Willian.

Mmmm doesn't sound like too much but wouldn't surprise me.

[Jase 43,479]

He hasn't done an Arteta yet though.

[Jase 43,479]

Fair point TBF...

This scares me. Costa is one of the very few world class players we have. Could it be Adidas just taking the piss? I hope so.
