Diego Costa

Not open for further replies.
Says he's happy at Atletico, says he'll stay if the club want him to. Could be standard talk, could be another who doesn't want to join us.

"I'm happy at my current club" = "I want a big fat pay off when I fuck off on the last day of the transfer window".
 
But no-one defines world class like that, it's way too narrow. As normally understood and used, world class basically means a player who can thrive at the very highest levels of the game, consistently, and able to compete in and strongly influence the biggest matches, or otherwise make significant contributions to their teams winning the biggest trophies.

Personally I think Rooney was a world class talent when he came through, and was actually world class for a while in his early 20s, but hasn't been since 2010.

Yeah, Dahuge's description sounds the same as the one Dreamy got slaughtered for not too long ago.
World class is about being amongst the best players in a particular position. Not two of the deadliest strikers in the history of the game.
 
Wouldn't surprise me if this guy signs a new contract with hefty pay rise to stay at Madrid
Hmmm - club want to make some money so agree to sell Player A, instead though they give him a hefty pay rise so end up losing money instead of balancing the books. Nope something wrong with that statement.
 
I mean between Spanish clubs, the way TV rights work out there is pathetic, the league is just a platform for Madrid and Barcelona.
 
Diego Costa says he is happy to remain at Atletico Madrid, which will come as bad news for Liverpool who are interested in signing the Brazilian.
The Anfield club recently tried to buy Costa for a reported fee of £21m.
But Costa, who scored 20 goals in 44 matches for the Spanish club last
Season said: "I'm well here, I'm happy here.
"As I've been in Argentina and Uruguay I've not heard anything about this.
"I'm happy here, if the club want me to be here, I'm going to be here.
"I think that our coach (Diego Simeone) counts on all of us, not just me.
"He knows how important it is to maintain the squad, the fans know it as well."
 
Now Atletico's sporting director Jose Luis Caminero has reiterated the club's stance on the 24-year-old, who scored 20 goals in all competitions last season.

Speaking to AS, Caminero said: "Diego Costa is a very important player for Atletico, we value him very highly and we are convinced that this year he is going to score a lot of goals with Atletico. He is an idol for the fans."
 
I don't want us to sign this guy.

Never really seen him play but according to one of my sources (my dad) he is the most dirty player in La Liga. He's an alright footballer, but that is easily overshadowed by his antics on the pitch, he said.

I know some posters thinks we should assemble a team of dirty b*stards, and I do admit we've sometimes lacked a bit of grit and steel, but seriously, a player can be all that without having to be a dirty player too.

PS There's often a tendency among these on-pitch dirty players to be quite a handful off it as well as I believe Suarez has proved of late and many before him too. We can have one or perhaps two, but one too many and we'd be in a right mess.

NEXT!
 
Has your dad been reading the earlier pages of this thread, then? Because all of that's been covered in great detail.

I don't think he really knows what an Internet forum is, so my guess would be no.

And I really doubt that the early pages of this thread covered my dads opinion of him.

have









*hides*
 
As long as he cuts out that filthy spitting habit, I couldn't give two flying shits. He's quick, makes good late runs, and scores goals, that's the important bit.
 
I honestly don't think we'll sign him. He won't want to move to us in my opinion.
Which is why I wouldn't sell suarez to anyone including Madrid. At the moment we're not an attractive club to come to. We need top4
 
so if the armenian was first choice and this lad second , who's next in line ?

hope more than anything that i am wrong but i have a feeling we are going to have a very frustrating end to the transfer window . At least though we can blame it if we have a crap start to the season.

Good for you, you have just made me browse through 12 pages of posters guessing at what he's like. It seems to me not ONE of the posters in this threat have actually seen this lad play regularly or at all or am I wrong? (Perhaps Keni has but he fails to answer when Ryan asks him for details so I doubt it).

Never has my dads thought on a player been more relevant than now, always nice to know what people whom have actually seen loads of a player thinks, don't you agree?
 
I didn't want Sturridge and wasn't that blown away at the prospect of Coutinho, so I'm happy to back Rodgers judgement on this one. Especially for that cash money.

I kind of feel the same way though I really didn't know what to expect of either Sturridge or Coutinho. Aspas really looks exciting too though it's early days.
 

My dad, being a teacher and in general rather pedantic, would love where this thread is heading.
 
He makes lots of late runs from the wing, directly into the box, into a goal scoring positions, we really need a player who is able to do that, that's one big reason I want him here, because I believe he'll score a lot of goals like it.

To be fair we started the window well getting a couple of early signings in then the whole Suarez cluster fuck kicked off and since then its like we have been a little gun shy not moving for our targets decisively because of the underlying fear that we may need to completely rebuild our attack if/when the right bid comes in for Suarez.

This is what happens Arsenal most seasons, a long dragged out transfer saga involving the sale of one of their top players, its really destabilising because when you build your team around a player like we have with Suarez then the threat of that player leaving basically throws all other transfers out of sync. How could we move for an Eriksen/Mhktaryian type attacking mid without knowing who was going to be leading the line. The Costa guy seems to have one foot in both camps hes either replacing Suarez or complimenting him, I doubt we would be thinking of spending that much on a supporting striker if we were certain Suarez would stay.

This whole window has turned into a boring as fuck waiting game to see what happens with Suarez. The season starts in 10 days and we still have no idea whats going to happen with him, and consequently we have no idea how our attack will line up next season.
