DON'T BE PESSIMISTIC!

IF that does happen, then we will be able to keep Hazard..perhaps a little longer

"Can just imagination" I can see a lot of thoughts go into his tweets.

Yeah...until you realize we won't spend a penny of it any time soon.

True. But we're lucky there was one team that was desperate enough to have him that they'll pay far more than any other club would. Not sure any other side in Europe can get mega fees for players they aren't even using like we do.

He was the type of striker that could win you the league, not sure about Morata 

not happy about this at all

Fantastic player for us, before the china saga, he was a monster. Can single handedly win you game and his ability to fight with two cb at once is just brilliant. People may not like it but he is one of the best striker we ever had.

Thank you diego, good luck in la liga. Except against us in ucl

Why do people keep saying that and pretend like the 2015/16 season didn't exist?

There were times when we fans actually wanted fucking Traore to start instead of him.

He's not Drogba. He will never reach the class level of someone like Drogba. For me he will be remembered as the striker who scored almost as many goals as Salomon Kalou, which is an insult to veteran Kalou in my honest fucked-up opinion.

Even in his shitty season (2015/16) he scored 16 goals. Drogba has scored more than 16 only in 2 out of 9 season he spent at the club. You can argue about theirs personalities, that's fine (even if first years of Drogba were pretty similar to first years of Costa; Drogba even criticezed team in the press, which Costa never did), but Costa was terrific player and goalscorer and bad half of the season doesn't change that.

If you're insinuating that Costa is cut from same cloth as Drogba (quality-wise) then I happily disagree. Didier, despite the times in which he was critisized, is comfortably superior in my opinion, from his fighting spirit to his free-kick and aerial skills. I don't think this matter should ever be discussed to be honest.

Diego's impending move is the right solution for everybody. I'm pleased that he's got the move he wanted and I'm glad he's moved on.

I will stop short of wishing Diego well because his performances in the second half of last season seemed intentionally bad in my opinion. As I put it then, his displays looked too bad to be true. When the mood took him however he played some great games for us, and that should be marked with thanks for his contributions to our club.

They can't really do that can they? First of all he's unavailavle until January because of Atletico's ban and second of all the transfer window is closed and he won't be officially their player anytime soon.

Worst case scenario we will have Ruben-Baker-Tammy-Aina-Baba-Boga-Kalas-Miazga-Pasalic-Zouma-Van Ginkel-Blackman to call upon and no doubt afew more lol and with Gary Cahill at 31/32 being the oldest outfield player mmm think we are in better shape than some other clubs , but surely Cfc and board lol have not been that silly!

[The Skipper 20,593]

Well, this means we’ve actually not spent a penny this summer. Quite impressive tbh.

Not sure what the rule is with the official unveiling but don't think there's anything that stops them from casually (re-)introducing Costa to the Atleti crowd.

Don't care what anybody says. 20 PL goals in two seperate PL Title winning seasons. The Diego Costa experience overall was a net positive. 

Now time to buy a 2nd Striker that is either an out and out ST or that can play the RF role (like a Dele Ali or Griezmann.)
