strength and weakness...

 

Right now, he is not a good striker. His problem is not his skill, but his mentality. He is selfish, can't handle the pressure, get frustrated very fast, and then he start to haunt the field. For example, completely unnecessary yellow card in the last minutes of the match vs Hungary.

He could be a good striker, but that he is far from his potential. Most of his goals were scored when being sub in, and Chelsea is not looking for a sub. To step up his game he need to be shaped mentality, and Conte can achieve that, no doubt, but he also need to improve his awareness on the field. This is something difficult to acquire and when I hear him talk... Oh god he looks so dumb. I am not very optimistic on that last part, thus I am not seeing him being more than an good striker - unless Conte does his magic with him of course, then sky is the limit.

But Batshuaiy is not Lukaku he at least works hard as a motherfucker for the ball. He actually comes and picks up the ball, creates openings, his play is far more fluid, etc. He is at the right place at the right time too.

Top prospect coming off a superb season considering how dreadful Marseille were. But, no matter what, Diego Costa MUST stay at the team. Would be such a stupid mistake to sell our most experienced striker entering his 3rd season in England. 

I'm quite happy for Diego to leave.

For one thing I'm in the group that thinks it's not a good idea to keep a player who wants to move on, and the reports that he'd like to head back to Atleti seem convincing to me. More importantly however, as I've said before, I don't believe that what Diego brings is worth the baggage that comes with him, and the huge motivation he gives to every group of opponents and their fans.

If he truly wants to go then Diego out, two talented strikers in is an attractive solution.

I think he will partner good with Costa.

I dont see Costa leaving since i belive him and Conte will be a perfect match. Conte is the perfect manager to shape Costa into a diamond.

I almost thought Chelsea couldn't sign players anymore. And now bang, finalized within a day. German efficiency like in Bayern. It's not so hard those transfers ?

Of course he will play alongside Diego. Antonio Conte always uses 2 striker formation, even when he had such forward options like Vucinic, Matri and Quagliarella.

Diego Costa, Batschuayi and Traore, that's good line-up.

I watched Belgium recently and thought that Michy should be their main man. I think that he is generally good in everything, good pace, good shot, good feet, good technique, good instinct. Simply a good striker. Something to work on definitely.

40m€ is a lot. Remember when age wasn't much of a factor for transfer fee ? Those were the days. Now when someone is young his transfer fee will be almost doubled.

Can't see signing any striker beside Michy. Most teams struggle to sign one striker and now Chelsea would sign two ?

I'm in agreement with this, not because I feel Costa is poor because he isn't, he's far from that. I just think all the signs and reports suggests he's had enough of this league and to be fair I can see why after the way he's been treated. He's also been no angel either and maybe, just maybe the club won't stand in his way if this is what they see from his aggressive nature. Is Conte looking at bringing a subtle calmness to the club? Maybe he wants to the be the aggressor on the sidelines and his players to be the silent assassins.

We just don't know, but if he wants to go the club should not stand in his way.

BREAKING NEWS

The Mail Online saying it's agreed 33M for him.

And before anyone says anything they were the first news outlet to break the Fabregas news.

[It's too big 625]

If Costa leaves, then there's Higuain or Morata for us to go after, or even Lukaku.
