I don't think Dom deserves a chance. I see no reason to hope he'll get one in the coming season. I'd much rather see him try to make a step forward somewhere he'll get minutes.

This is the same guy our fans basically worship every game with the (senseless) "Diego" chants and his thuglike behaviour. No loyalty. 

I bet you he has said no such thing and will stay here.

Does anyone think he stays? I don't think he does.. It's clear Atelti are willing to do anything to have him back, and I think Costa is ready to return "home". 

Will be interesting to see who we replace him with.. Just pray it's not Lukaku, anybody but him! 

 

Too little money for him.

Accept only if we get that plus a player.

I think it just makes too little sense. The plan people keep describing involves Diego leaving and being replaced by basically a couple of young kids. Is Morata & Batshuayi as the main partnership truly wise? Two young guys like that in a hugely important season with a new manager and with the strength of this league now?

An experienced, proven goal scorer who knows the PL and is settled in the side is very important and that's what we have in Diego. Unless he is begging and pleading with the club to return to Spain it just seems idiotic to sell him.

Only if he's replaced by a veteran who's scored bags of goals at the top level elsewhere in Europe for a top team would it make sense. There aren't really any of those available. Higuain is the only one I can think of.

Is this a joke or just rumors ?? Hope he isn't seriously going, would be bad honestly.... 

The only condition to sell to athletico is if it's a straight swap for Griezmann.

Exactly. And since that isn't happening, I can only hope these are mere rumours. The stupidity of this potential move (Diego out, Morata in) is actually riling me up. Chelsea aren't in a position for a cute experiment like this, placing such faith in young and unproven strikers. Finishing outside the top 4 again could turn out to be catastrophic.

Costa is the only, literally the only, consistent source of goals in the entire team. If you sell him, you better bring in someone who is better or at least as good. Selling Costa for 40 mil and buying Morata for 50 mil would be a joke as well.

Go fix areas that acutally need fixing and leave the striker situation as it is (for now).

That's my choice

Higuain is piss.

[blues.bridge 343]

if we were to go for a striker, I would go for Dybala!

Today world, when Everton want 40 fecking million for Stones, Costa is worth at least 50m. At least.

But we should keep him at any price.
