I cant see Diego going anywhere this season at least. But who knows. If AM do get rid of Griezmann.....

But AM dont pay ove 32 mill Euros and have got Gameiro sitting there so thats another reason I cant see him going back there.

Last summer when Diego Costa was rumoured to leave I said Conte is not mad to sell one of his best players ahead of such an important (1st) season (in England) when he clearly wanted to make a good first impression and fight for the title.

I say the same again regarding Hazard - Conte will no doubt try to win the Champions League at his very first try with Chelsea. He's obsessed with this competition, he'll do everything to keep his best players and on top of that add extra quality.

Now after a summer I have my question marks whether Diego Costa stays or goes, but Courtois, Hazard - no chance they leave. Not this summer.

Diego's goalscoring record is equal to Sturridge's despite the latter only starting half the games Diego does. Their goals-per-game ratio is very similar, but Sturridge's minutes-per-goal is vastly superior.

From Sturridge to Lukaku, just on our own soil there are better goalscorers around; nevermind strikers who can do other things better too, from link-up to heading ability. 

There's nothing Costa can do which others can't do better. However, from Mbappe to Dybala, we finally have a new generation of strikers who are the absolute best at what they do in their position (in this case awareness & dribbling). To be the very best at a trait is what I want from a striker. I wouldn't expect this if I supported Everton; but as a supporter of the league-leaders, in a very demanding sport, I expect the best.

I don't get why people want him to leave then try to replace him with the like of morata,griezman or dybala. It is like we are trying to create poor version of MSN. 

Costa bring a much needed physicality and aggresiveness upfront. If he is going to leave then maybe Lukaku can replace him but I haven't watched much everton game to judge

Shevchenko, Torres, Crespo, Costa. I'm not sure who'll be the fifth member, but those players have to be in the top 5 worst strikers of the Roman era. You know what I'd give just to see Anelka step inside a time machine and fire us to the title in glory? I'm not even expecting another Drogba, just someone reliable. 

*Edit: List revised - Kezman, Mutu, Shevchenko, Torres, Costa. I'm bringing out Crespo, he wasn't brain-numbingly bad.

 

Get Defoe & Crouch in; rotate. That's the English Anelka & Drogba right there. Bertrand being our Ashley Cole and all too will lead us to glory.

I don't get it. He may played poorly today but it was more in term of finishing.

He did bring physicality upfront and good forward playe. I saw Costa made tons channel run to stretch the defender and sometimes drop deeper to provide passing option. That is what you need from a striker not just goals this days.
