 We will likely spend over 50million (conservative estimate) on two strikers should Costa leave. Unnecessary imo

There are several positions where we need an upgrade. Striker is not one of them. Costa is a perfectly good striker to lead the team and signing Batshuayi and whoever else will weaken the squad. I'm not for a change

 

I agree, I think we all would, that there are other areas of need. For me striker is one of them although I'd concede that it is not priority number one. Or even numbers two or three come to that. On the money, I assume you mean 50m net and that seems likely to be in the right area but don't forget we have a high possibility that Remy will leave too if new strikers arrive, so the final number should shade down a bit.

PS2: Someone come up with a nickname for him because I can't pronounce his last name. 

Bat(man)-Shoa(rma)-Yi(eeehaw).

Not difficult. ;-)

Good transfer btw: fast, strong, technical goalscorer. Probably the most complete Belgian striker at the moment, although I still think Lukaku is superior when playing in a suitable system. I hope he's actually going to play, but with Conte personally greenlighting the transfer, I guess he will.

[Jype 6,398]

Only seen him play in the Hungary match for about 20 minutes so I'm pretty much full Jon Snow when it comes to him but seems like a promising piece of business.

Wish all transfers were like this, one day not even any rumours and then bang, next day player signed.

I knew Conte will want to sign a striker who is good in the air and has hold up play. It's integral to his style of play. 

Now what is left is the centerback that is good on the ball(Bonucci) and the energetic, distance covering, tackling box to box midfielder (vidal)  

We can get realistic targets like marquinos from PSG and Aranguiz from Chile, it'll complete the team.

So you are telling us that you are a bastard !  

Spoiler

I know that he's not a bastard!

An attack of Costa - Batshuayi - Hazard - Willian doesn't matter in which system seems pretty goddamn good to me!

                (goddamn is hard to spell his name)

Easiest way to pronounce it is Bat Showy.   That's what i am sticking to anyway.

 

If we ended the window with a 11 of say  (in a 442 this is)

 

Courtois

Ivanovic/Azpi     Terry/Zouma    Koulibaly           Baba Rahman/Azpi

      Willian                     Kante   Cesc                         Hazard  

                          Batshuayi   Costa                          

 

I would not complain apart from maybe wanting a new fullback

We need another winger. Cuadrado might fill that void if he returns, but I think we need someone that can actually make the right decisions.

Anyone thinking its wise to replace Costa with Batshuayi and even Morata will regret that thinking come next summer IMO.

Costa must stay unless we actualy sign striker like Lewa or Suarez. But that obviously wont happen.

Regarding Bats, finally we are getting new player from ligue 1
