Adios Diego Costa

[Professor Yaffle]

Atletico have apparently agreed to pay over 50m to Chelsea for his services.

He's good but that's also decent business for both clubs. A profit for Chelsea and two championships and a hat full of goals and almost as many controversies.

Love or hate him, the EPL will be a duller place without the mental bastard.

 

[Butcher6]

Chelsea do great business nowadays and getting 50m on him is amazing.

Probably put some of it towards the new stadium!!

 

[Its-Sebo]

Big arsehole

 

[stooler]

Will miss his Fantasy Footy points

 

[Clubdeckg]

Move suits all parties, Chelsea make a profit yet again.

 

[songsofglory]

Shame to se him go in this manner, should have been able to leave on a high after winning the league although I understand he isn't exactly blameless. The game needs people like Costa, Zlatan etc so will be a loss to the EPL. A great player and I am glad I seen him play (and score) live.

 

[Arminius]

As you say, paisleyprod, the EPL will be a duller place without the madman LOL

 

[HarryCallahan]

Not a bad life.........plan a trip on a jet-ski following the sun until January.

Had Chelsea by the bollocks, highlights just how crazy the football world has became financially.

 

[Teddyjohn]

Him and Griezmann will be some partnership.

I'm disappointed its only £50m in todays market

 

[albionrose]

Good business.

Will miss him in the EPL.

Look forward to the CL meeting between the sides.

 

[si72]

He's a superb player but makes sense for Chelsea to part ways as he simply didn't want to be there.

 

[aghalee_hero]

To get that much for a player that refused to play for any other club is great business. In a normal situation he is probably worth more.

 

[razzer]

A mad bastard but an excellent player and must be a nightmare to play against

 

[SDF]

TBF Chelsea have done brilliantly to get £50m in a one club market for the player.

 

[Superrangers]

He's an absolute and utter cûnt and English football is better without him. Maybe some of the Chelsea fans on here will now be man enough to admit that with the despicable elbows and stamps he was deliberately attempting to put opponents out of the game. It's the exact same that we are rightly livid at Brown getting away with.

I used to defend Suarez but in the end there is no defending the indefensible and some of their behaviour overshadows their undoubted talents.

I sit next to a Chelsea fan now at work and he is glad to see the back of him. He said that we wanted him gone in the summer. His thoughts were 'great striker but no place for all the petulance and attempts to harm opponents'. He said 'the kind of player you like playing for you but despise if he plays for an opponent due to his cûntishness'.

 

[Torque_87]

He's a cracking striker but this makes sense and is good business for Chelsea.

 

[Sebo23]

I think it will benefit Chelsea off the park that he's away, on the pitch i'm not sure if Morata will turn out to be a better striker on the park.

Costa used to run the Arsenal defence ragged & was a constant nuisance with his aggression, i thought that Morata was handled pretty well in the last week. Still early days of course, i'm sure he'll improve further as he adapts to the English game.

 

[Hank]

Big arsehole

The simplicity of the English language.

 

[TPB90]

Him and Griezmann will be some partnership.

For 6 months. This signing means Griezmann will be away in the summer, IMO.

 

[Weetoonblue]

So he cannot play until January and Chelsea get £50m and him off their wage bill, seems a good deal for Chelsea.

They will miss him on the pitch but certainly not off it.

 

[Morelos20]

50 million for a player who is basically worthless to Chelsea after going awol is a great deal.

Superrangers Liverpool should've signed him, might have given them a bit of fight rather than a team full of pussys haha

Morelos has a similar temperament and I love it makes him the player he is, same with Costa.

 

[dynamo_rosco]

I take it Vietto must be going on loan in Jan as well then. They'll have Costa, Griezmann, Torres and Gameiro

 

[Ambiorix]

Do they still keep him in a cage and throw in raw meat when he gets hungry?

 

[Beanzie]

I look forward to seeing him playing again. He will add a bit of spice to the big matches in La Liga.

 

[Gazman_Airdrie]

I'm pretty surprised he didn't just sit tight and envoke the Webster Ruling, they'd have got him for a lot less than £50m.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Spanish window open still I think

 

[Chester Perry]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Diego.

A great player but the attitude doesn't match the ability

 

[sje]

It looks great business done by Chelsea, he was never going to play for them again, very surprised they paid so much, wonder if there is another deal in the offing for one of Atletico's players.
