wouldnt trade him for fred

Pretty obvious he's useless unless his partner is doing all the donkey work which he won't get at any other club.

I.E the system is carrying him.... most people will look at his stats and ride his cock but i'm not seeing anything special.

When he leaves at Atletico and flops, i'll be laughing AGAIN.

the xcx wrote:Finally someone who agrees with me that Costa is overrated. Ive been saying that for years but it always gets ignored. Hes all show but no substance, as said before if the wide forwards wont create enough space or provide him with cut clear chances hes shit. Simeones rotation policy and thin bench should be notable, given how he can not find anyone to fill Villas absence.

Leave it to Ancelotti to outsmart that greasy looking madman

Diegod will keep proving them wrong

This thread if he flops for the rest of the season

Why exactly would he flop ?

I'm not saying he will, I'm just saying it would be a hilarious turn of events since the naysayers are being criticized so heavily atm

Considering he is half way to being our best CF in years, I don't think he'll flop, at all.

Just eat some humble pies guys , Only injuries could prevent Costa to have a great career at Chelsea imo.

He's at Chelsea to feed the midfield

Man is a killer

Quotes from insane people (who should probably eat some crow)

-He looked like shit technically every time ive seen him.Not to mention he is a c*nt

-Yeah... he's limited and a thug. Effective at what he does, but he's not all that great.

-I wouldn't trade Fred for him.

-He's an extremely limited player who is extremely overrated by Nick and Gil

-Costa works hard and is difficult to play against, but lets be real he is very very limited.

-His goal return isn't all that either especially considering he takes penalties.

If you want to talk about quality forwards outside the big two talk about Carlos Vela someone who actually has plentiful of ability. (this is one of my favorites)

-Nick hyping up another good but no so great footballer. The man is a good forward for Atleti, nothing more.

-Still think his thug style of play is only suited for this atletico system.If he goes to any top team that wants to play posession football hes screwed.60% intelligence/thuggery/strength 40% talent

-I already said that, based on our system, i would much rather have Jo or Fred over Diego.

-System CF just like Pedro was a system wide forward.

As soon as Simeone leaves or he joins someone who needs more from him as an individual he will go back to shit.

It will be a glorious day

-For example he would flop hard at Chelsea as their forwards have to be involved in the build up and link play with rest of midfield he's no good at that. (LOL)

-Which is why i said he needs to pick his next club very carefully although he's more well rounded outside the box than Falcao he's still very limited IMO and wouldn't lend well within Chelsea's tactics personally.

This is from only 3 pages of a 27 page thread.  Some people need to eat some serious crow, or just stop posting so much.

"It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

Put some names on dem quotes bruh

lol agree i with leswagg, i'd like to see the names associated with those comments

You ask and you shall receive.

I did try and list the most egregious offenders and ones taking shot's at the player and the poster.  It seemed  more fair this way.

This thread called simply "Diego Costa" again is 27 pages long.  All of these quotes come from the first 5 pages so there is a ton of other insanity going on in that thread.

I know this will make some people angry but the internet is written in ink not pencil, it's there for everyone to see and isn't erased, if you don't want to get called out don't talk loose.

The threads should be merged imo.

Lmao forgot how much Ganso hates Costa

Vibe wrote:He played on left wing last season,10 in 26 is not bad considering that.I rated him before and I still do.Think he can be a great striker if he starts banging in goals more consistently now that Falcao is gone and he's the main man.He did seem to lack killer instinct in front of goal,if he can find that he'll be a complete striker...Also GTFO Mole,you clearly watched him couple of times tops,you are so off  about his abilities...

Vibestradamus

obvioustradamus strikes agian

Currently the best striker in the world

Post of the year lol. I'm convinced that the people calling him shit weren't actually watching his games or were Falcao fanboys in denial (you know who).

He's making a mockery of the League at the moment and he's on course to break Suarez/Ronaldo/Shearer joint record without the benefit of penalties.

Like I said before, I was always a believer of his talent even though I hated him personally. Any people who watched him consistently last season could see that he was a world class striker and would succeed anywhere where he had the right service.

great leader is avoiding this thread like the plague

Costa shits on falcao ever was in a big league *coffee*

Bankz wrote:Costa shits on falcao ever was in a big league *coffee*

I like Falcao too, they are not very similar but Falcao did nuke his knee not too long ago and is older than Costa so when he gets back into form as there both in the same league again we will see who is the better striker.

Of course it's probably only fair to judge Falcao in the second half of this season seeing as United is a mess, brought him in late and isn't forming there attack around him yet like Chelsea have with Costa.

And as far as Costa Shitting on Falcao and Falcao not performing in a big league, that is just not true.  The guy was at Atletico for 2 seasons and had 36 and 34 goals in those seasons not to mention he had 38 and 34 at  Porto.

I love Costa's game but don't sleep on Falcao when he gets healthy.
