Diego Costa

[Fulham Broadway 16,845]

We're not getting the full story, but the bloke is a dick. We should keep him for the season and just fine him for every week he doesn't turn up. He could have actually come out of this situation with a lot of credit had he been a bit smarter and played the game.

Lol it looks like Atletico want to get Costa for free  Pay the money and Costa will be yours. What a loser this guy is. Just ask Atletico for something like 25M and let him go and let's move on from this soap opera...

Think Atletico Madrid is thinking of getting him Dirt Cheap. But  are they really willing knowing tht he might put up this sort of trantum there too ?  No player is bigger than the coach in any club, maybe Conte did wrong to tell him so early but not to respect the coach `s instruction during a game is a no no. Looks like Costa killed his career with his own hands. He can forget about playing in the 2018 world cup.Maybe a ball picker will suit him now .

All Atletico has to do is wait.

 

They will get him for next to nothing if we cave...which we will have to eventually.

That is the whole reason Costa is doing this the way he is. If he continues to play like we are holding him for ransom and that he is unhappy here and wants Atletico it drops is eventual sale price. For a guy who says he likes Chelsea and the support of the fans he is treating the club like crap. I will never side with him on this even though Antonio sent him the text he knew well before that he was gone and is using that as his excuse to act like a complete dick

He make Balotelli looks like an angel

I think he is hurting his own case, If he would stop talking I am sure Chelsea/Atleti would have agreed to a fee around 40m + performance add ons. Now the more he pushes Chelsea publicly the more they will dig their heels in and not be bullied and forced to bend to the will of a player. I can see us holding onto him, continue to Fine him until he comes back to train and get in shape. If he doesn't, I believe you fine him and let him waste prime years of his career sitting at home in Brazil. All sides have handled this extremely poorly since basically everyone knew the writing on the wall in January. 

Edit: One bonus we have is World Cup year, he desperately wants to be in the Spain squad but if he doesnt play they can not select him. We can afford to pay him and fine him until he does what he is contracted by Chelsea to do. Ugly scenes ahead.

Doesn't make any sense. What good does it do Atleti if Costa eventually arrives there fat and unfit?

Chelsea is calling him to get back to train and become fit (if he wants to be sold in top condition) FFS.
If Atleti are even thinking of covering his fines (for something he's clearly in the wrong), what kind of example are they setting?

What if Griezmann throws a tantrum and doesn't show up if Barca is linked?

You see the same thing happening with Coutinho and Dembele, players have too much power nowadays.

[bluephoenix 1,126]

Funny thing he refuses to comeback and train. Blames Chelsea and his *i** of a lawyer thinks he will sue Chelsea.

 We should sue that guy for being such a *i**

Why can't we see the texted messages especially the messages from both sides..  that daily mail reporter went all the way to Brazil and never asked to see the messages.?

Everton want Costa on loan

Well said mate

[the wes 7,212]

Diego Costa should "respect" Chelsea'sbadge even though he wants to leave, says Atletico Madrid captain Gabi.

"From what I know, Atletico Madrid want to sign him and he wants to join," he said at a press conference.

"But of course, there is Chelsea in the middle and when you are part of a club you must respect the badge and try and leave in the best way."

Why should we sell him for a cut-down price if Atletico aren't willing to meet our demands? Costa is still under contract with us after all. Maybe he would have gotten his move earlier had he just handed in a transfer request and not like thrown tantrum like a spoilt brat.
