Re: Diego Costa

Considering the source, I'm rather surprised the headline didn't read, "CRISIS in Blues dressing room as Hazard accuses newboy Costa of Birth Certificate fraud!".

by Kick Fri Aug 22, 2014 7:13 pm

Yeah

So 2 games down and he's already effectively halved Torres' League return for the entirety of last season...

So strange seeing our striker score goals. Torres made me forget that was their job.

Have to say, Costa hasn't been fantastic a part from the goals, but hey, I am not complaining as long as he keeps scoring.

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 5:06 pm

Reports Costa has done his hamstring in training today. Seemingly confirmed by Rob Beasley. Great.

I know y'all are pretty disappointed to hear that. But as a Milan fan this is most likely means no Torres, right? Diego Costa - Page 8 Praying

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 5:27 pm

No. No it doesn't. :coffee:

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 5:31 pm

Better resolution.

by Abramovich Wed Aug 27, 2014 6:02 pm

FML hope he isn't out for long.

by Kick Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:07 pm

I don't think I believe it, it's not everywhere, it's just on the Sun. Hardly reliable.

I'll wait for our website to report it before believing it.

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:12 pm

I wouldn't normally give anything they say a second look but since it's Beasley - who has connections in the club of course - I'm reluctant to pass it off so easily. Though whether he's actually confirmed it or is just on another of his tired attention-seeking windups remains to be seen.

Matt Law reporting it now.

by Kick Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:18 pm

Still going to wait till the official annoucement.

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:20 pm

Suggestions Law has just thrown that bit onto an article he already had written about Torres.

Do think it's strange the Sun would be the only ones for hours reporting such a major thing happening if it did actually happen.

by Kick Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:24 pm

Doubt it's enough time to properly asses him either.

Remeber Marca reporting Drogba would be out for 6 months?

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:25 pm

That was different. Originally posted on twitter by a parody Daily Mail account and everyone got the memo it was a fake like 5 mins after it spread except them.

by Kick Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:27 pm

Still, they got it horribly wrong. Could be the case here.

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:29 pm

Got it horribly wrong because they were damn dumb enough to take something they saw on twitter as fact and not realise it was a parody Mail account they were copying.

by Kick Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:37 pm

The Sun are running an exclusive, wonder where they got it from? Wink

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:41 pm

Again, I wouldn't give any credibility to it but for the fact that well-connected Beasley seems to be confirming it.

by Kick Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:46 pm

Let's just wait and see before making a big deal of it.

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:49 pm

I intend to.

But it does highlight a problem we all knew existed all along - one injury and we're screwed.

by Kick Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:52 pm

Time for a sneaky Destro bid Proud

by Shed Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:59 pm

Injury or not, it's obvious that's what we need to do.

Torres and Drogba are embarrassing back-ups for a club in our position.
