Diego Costa

[Term-X 7,891]

Kezman, Crespo, Boulahrouz, Sidwell, Di Santo.. I think we should just retire number 9.

Peter Osgood.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Kezman, Crespo, Boulahrouz, Sidwell, Di Santo.. I think we should just retire number 9.

Greaves, Ossie, Kerry, Jimmy Floyd....time to bring some honour back to that number rather than turning it into a curse.

Its the lead story on Sky Sports news... has to be something to it.

Yeah, lead story on Sky Sports but it still came from their 'sources'...

Mouthwatering. Can't wait to see Hazard feeding Lukaku and Costa. LORDY

[Jype 6,398]

I suppose £32m for us.. and for a transfer of this calibre in general won't back fire 'too' much if he turns out to be a flop. Anything over £40m and he'd be on a constant tight rope..

His wages will still be massive (seen £185k a week being quoted) so overall he will only be a little cheaper than Torres and we will be fucked if he turns out a flop.

But yeah, on paper £32m will still look 'better' than £50m and hopefully it will mean less pressure on the lad.

For the money and if true, I say if, I think it's a really smart piece of business by us.

This guy is like itchy balls, it's not the most likeable thing but once it's done you are pleased.

Wow what a great 5 days I'm having

Been in Monaco since Thursday watching the Historic Grand Prix - amazing place!

Chelsea won

Liverpool lost the title

Hamilton won!

I flew from Monaco to Nice airport in a helicopter this morning

We signed a Striker!

I think tomorrow I also get my promotion announced officially -

2014 a great year, May = the best month ever

I've had some bad months and years lately (few suicides and deaths) - so really appreciating the upwards trend

Hope you guys are also having a great May, if not, keep going IT WILL come good - I promise

Sounds like a great time, hope it was enjoyable.

I still have plenty of doubts over this guy, but I swallow my pride and back him up if it's true he is coming to Chelsea.

Also, 32mi pounds for a top striker in today's market isnt a bad deal!

Crespo WASNT a flop, the rest were but Crespo wasn't (ill always bite when i see that).

[Pizy 17,860]

Think he's the first of two strikers that we'll buy this summer. Dzeko, please!

[nyikolajevics 2,428]

Crespo WASNT a flop, the rest were but Crespo wasn't (ill always bite when i see that).

We payed 26 million Euros for him, he scored 25 goals in 71 matches and left for free. He was not as bad as the other number nines in the Abramovich-era but he wasn't a good signing at all. His goal against Arsenal in unforgettable though.

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

About fucking time.

Sidwell ???????????????/

[drog.ba 239]

please be true

[different level 1,056]

I wouldn't dare to get excited until I see him posing with the Chelsea shirt.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Its taken a huge chance to announce it like that and be incorrect. its not like there hasn't been serious smoke, most people who watch a moderate amount of football would say the same thing so there is no reason for them to report it.

[nyikolajevics 2,428]

Sidwell ???????????????/

What? Do you think he was a proper number 9 or what?
