This is so wrong i just don't know were to start,take away Costa's finishing and you have a nothing player,luckily Costa has been clinical this season unlike the last 2 

Two years ago he was poor? Ok. 

U obviously have your panties in a bunch cause he's angering us all right now, but please go back and look at his goals this year, non of them were put on a platter for him. 

You do realize he's a striker right?

Conte deserves credit for how is dealing this situation. Refuse to break down and now Costa must earn his place in line up.

Keep in mind that Conte is in a "relaxing" position to do so. 7 points clear and Hull coming up at the Bridge.

Remember this lads

 

I have almost always taken the mangers side over a player ( except Jose vs Hazard). This is no different, if Costa doesn't go apologize to Conte then he can fly to China ASAP

I've had some stick with you over other things here but you are 100% right. If Costa is with his head in China already: fuck off you ugly, selfish cunt.

Smart thing to do is just keep him till the end of the season then replace him with lukaku. I know it's a major downgrade but his likely the only realistic target.

We are Chelsea and we don't downgrade. We have the ability and global reputation to attract much better forwards than Lukaku

I think they will sit down and come to a handshake agreement. Diego will apologize and behave the rest of the year, help us win the league then in the summer IF china is real he will go there and get paid. Its a win across the board. Diego gets more money than he can count, we get a HUGE transfer fee for a 29 yr old striker with injury issues who doesnt even want to be here. and Conte is a PL title winning coach in his first year, with 140 Millions pounds from Chinese sales PLUS however much Roman wants to spend on top of that. He can go on a shopping spree in the summer and build the juggernaut he wants to.

Remember how great we were when we had Torres and  Ba with their great hold up play? A striker has 3 responsibilities, each weighted differently: 85% is to create goals (especially on a countering team like us) and Diego has been the most Clinical #9 in Europe all year. 10% is probably hold up play and he's been average at this. But for some reason you seem to think this is the most important job a striker has. 

The other 5% is defending set pieces.

you just made me feel better about this whole thing with your post!! hope it plays out like that! for me, in the absolute ideal scenario, diego apologizes, everyone forgets about it and he stays for 3-4 more years without any drama and we win plenty of leagues and cups with both conte and costa but that seems farfetched at the moment

Thing is, I don't think it's gonna happen that simple. It seems Conte sees Diego has 100% in the wrong, Costa has to apologize but that alone will probably not fix the entire situation. 

Conte seems to be really big on respect and that seems to have motivated the guys this year. In the past you'd see Chelsea just play on first gear for so many games, but this year that really happens. And I think it's the whole respect thing with Conte. He can't just throw that away for Costa.

100% I completely agree, I think Diego will have to fight to earn contes respect back of course. But Conte is a smooth operator and also knows that he needs Diego to truly shut down the title in the next month. It reminds me of the story about Conte yelling at GiGi Buffon who brought up Bonuses before a game and Conte LOST it on him even though they had already won the league.

it is all about winning and respect. They will work it out for the next couple months I think. Diego has created so much good will with his play and improved attitude it would be an absolute shame to destroy all of that so quickly. 

 

It is also great to see other players and management seemingly backing the coach and not the star player. Love to see that

We just aren't a club that top players magnate to and never have been. You never see the top players come out saying I dream of playing for Chelsea do you.

This may change in the not too distant future with a new generation growing up having watched us as winners tho..I see mamy more 'foreigners' wearing our shirts when I go abroad on hols etc. So a combination of marketing and us winners under Roman will have made some millenians support us which means some will be professional footbalers growing up supporting us which because we wasn't in Europe often before that, peeps that will have mainly seen us were English.
