Why is cnut a reason for not buying. Or not nice to watch. If we have these values then good thing we got rid of Ronaldo - too arrogant. Messie tax dodger. Keane, Cantona....we can just keep going. Cnts arnt a problem if the are performing and not causing problems in the dressing room. They are a problem if they down tools like Costa did in Mourinhos last season with him. But same can be said of Hazard and I'd take him in a heartbeat

Cantona was never a cnut!!!!
Hang your head in shame then walk on your knees to The Vatican and beg for forgiveness!
Seems like hes heading to Milan. People asking for United to sign him seem to forget he fell off with Mourinho, Chelsea would rather sell abroad and he seems to not want to play for anyone else in England. The fact that hes a bitch ass cnut is just icing on the cake.
No,no,no. Very good striker but we are not creating Chelsea part 2 here. Let us not fall so low.
Telling a player he's not wanted by text is a bit dickish imo.
Sign him for a year and involve him in a deal for Griezmann next summer?
I'm sure that would be enticing for Costa since no other top club will let him go 1 year into his new deal when Atletico can actually sign him

If Chelsea straight up replace Costa with Lukaku, I think that's very good news for all their rivals.
How funny would be it be if Atletico sign Costa and then that some how leaves Griezmann to then sign for us. Can only dream!
José wouldn't go near this despicable twat after he downed tools for him the year he got sacked.
No player can ever be compared to Diego Costa on a cnut scale, not even close. Suarez was annoying but he is a saint compared to DC.
DC is a despicable human being.
As much as I hate him...perhaps Athletico could buy him and loan him to us for 6 months so he can keep fit (and bang some goals in). Then we do a deal for Greizmann in January 
Ibra will probably be back by then too

He's just a terrific striker all round. There's no system player, system needs to be built around him etc. stuff that applies to him. In terms of being a proper all round cente forward, he's got the asbolute lot. I think his performances were probably the best I've seen in a top league from anyone not being Messi/Ronaldo/Xaviesta. Or at least it was alongside Suarez and Henry. So basically right up there with the asbolute elite. It seems he hasn't taken completely to Chelsea and life in England though so no point in us going for him.
As footballer he's much better than all the strikers we've been linked to.
Seems to be a shortage of available top class strikers this summer. If he is available then why not?
Don't agree at all. I think he's a huge drop off from the elites. He's good yeah - but the way you describe him - is exactly why I don't rate him nearly as highly as some do. I think Lukaku will go in and score a similar amount of goals but is a downgrade in terms of overall ability.
He's a player I rate as good, but brilliant? Not a chance.
Its not just goals, its presence lad. Lukaku may well score many but I bet Chelseas league position suffers. You remember Diego's excellent games against the likes of City away, where his hold up was outstanding? in the cup final vs Real Madrid for example. He has extra things that the likes of Lukaku may suck at so I am delighted if he leaves and is replaced by Lukaku. Absolutely delighted!
I don't really think he's that good, I'd rather any of the other strikers we're linked too. (Bar that Nutella addict from Germany maybe)
I've just alluded to the fact that Costa offers more in terms of overall ability, literally just in the post above yours.
Anyhow, it's a matter of opinion; for me Costa is good but nowhere near the level of the elites. The fact is, there's far too many variables that have to be in place for him to play well (his own temperament is certainly included in that).
I'm not an avid La Liga watcher (I'll catch the big games and a-few others over the course of the season) so maybe he was a much better player when he was at Atletico. From what I've seen of him at Chelsea, he's definitely not an elite level player.
To be honest, I have had a change of heart. On further thought, I would not want him here. At some point he will just want to leave and play shit. He weren't even happy living in London playing for the champions so fat chance he would settle with us. He'd just stop playing like for Chelsea. Do not want.
Still think he is important to have, but not on the level of Suarez, Neymar etc
I can safely say that Diego Costa only plays really good for half a season and the other half is quite inconsistent. I know because I usually have him in my fantasy league team.

Absolutely. United buy Griezmann. Atletico buy Costa with the funds. 6 month loan swap deal and United have the Ibra/Griezmann partnership from January.
Works perfectly apart from the fact that Jose and Costa probably hate each other.
Absolutely no way I would want him anywhere near the club. He's not just an utter cretin on the pitch, but he seems like a snide cnut too. He's basically been angling his way out of Chelsea for god knows how long now, and all of a sudden he releases this story to the press about a text from Conte telling him he's not wanted. He also completely downed tools under Mourinho towards the end of his (Mourinho's) spell at Chelsea.
For me, to be an elite level player, you also have to have the right temperament. It's all well and good winding up opponents but far too often Costa let's his frustrations on the pitch affect his performances.

.Replacing Costa with Lukaku might spell trouble for Chelsea. Lukaku's hold up play is poor compared to Costa, and Costa's pretty much been the perfect striker for the type of football Chelsea play.

I think Lukaku will probably score more but his holdup play etc is far inferior to Costa's. Chelsea's system is built to Costa's strengths, not sure it'll be the same for Lukaku.
It will be interesting in the big games where Lukaku generally goes missing.
He is at a Suarez level of assholery.
I guess this makes the Lukaku statements quite clear.

Maybe we should sign Costa?
Mendes is in Milan today
No chance IMO. Lukaku is coming off of a 25 goal season in the league and if he moves to Chelsea he'll have a much larger set of weapons supporting him which will be on a completely different level to what he had around him at Everton. I'd expect him to do brilliant in Conte's system and make them an even stronger team. Doesn't sulk half as much as Costa either.
Itz ovr lol AC x
I'm surprised how open he's been, losing him will weaken Chelsea if Lukaku is the replacement.
Diego Costa at his best is a fantastic striker. Dude was the leading striker for an Atletico side that reached the CL-final and won the league. And before that he played a very good Copa final in 12/13 where he showed he can go toe-to-toe with the best. Since then he's won 2 PL titles.
But he's a massive cnut tbh.

Can't fathom how any United fan would want him playing for us.
You mean like the big games where Costa generally went missing too? The caf's portrayal of Costa is a little too high relative to Chelsea fans. I'd say a majority of fans want him to piss off after he downed tools in the second half of the season. The only thing I'm confused about is why Conte insisted on playing him especially when he's not in his plans and he has a hungry young player on the bench who's answered the call every time he's been called upon.
You could say that he is almost unmanageable. Simeone was able to keep him on a tight leash but most of others failed to do that including Mourinho. He is no loyal, can basically stop playing at any time because he doesn't give a feck and can't be trusted at all.
His behavior on the pitch is so embarrassing it starts to be funny at one point. Funny if he is playing for someone else.
He is not a cnut, he is way more than that and I don't care if he can perform on the pitch. Wouldn't go near him even on a free.

I'd take Costa at united over the strikers we're being linked with that's for sure.
