Transfer Rumour Diego Costa

[orly]

1 billion weasel points @orly

Can't believe I forgot Bretland

 

[Kurt.]

Been a shareholder for years, and his Evertonian background would trump 99% on here.

Shame his ego got the better of him and turned him into a massive weapon... parody of himself that man.

 

[Verbal Kint]

If all he does is score the winner at Anfield and proceed to dropkick Klopp celebrating I'll take him gladly for 4 months.

 

[Ebrell22]

He is a scoundrel with no honour. Dont want him here

 

[D410]

I cannot stand the bloke but if he can do the business up front - get him in now.

 

[RomanReigns]

I want him so much so I can say diegoooooooooo

 

[RomanReigns]

Ell is an anagram of lel

You do the math

 

[Connor]

4 months is a ludicrous loan deal - RK and Walsh must be desperate imo!

Oh shut up Josephine

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Loaning him for 4 months will make us look really smalltime

Loaning him for 4 months will make us look really smalltime

Not if he starts hitting the back of the net and we stay in the top 4 till Dec.

He's pretty much exactly what we need and genuinely an improvement on Lukaku, so however it "makes us look", we have to do it, in my view. I'm pretty sure almost no one in the league is turning down half a season of diego costa up top. It's the same length as a January - May loan and gives us more time so sort out a permanent solution.

That said, whether this works out really is dependent on how arsed he is to play his best for us, seeing as he's not playing for a move, arsed about staying first choice here, or trying to stay at Chelsea. It could end up being a massive disappointment if he treats it like a holiday.

 

[BiggyRat]

We either go for goal scorers like this, or look for the next Beckford...

 

[chrismpw]

A snidey cheat. If we can use him for 4 months, get him to promise to behave in an honourable manner befitting our club*, or be docked wages then use the mercenary for his goals. It gives us longer to find that striker we need.

How fired up will he be when his mind will be planning his life back home? I expect it will be not much.

*except in the derby

 

[Paul w]

If that is the deal, a 4 month loan we would basically be getting him fit for Athletico Madrid.

 

[zirc]

Makes no sense. He's been out in Brazil since the end of last season and has barely trained. He's at least 6 weeks away from been match ready. And then its gonna take him a bit longer to be fully match sharp. By the time he's up and running he'll be at Atletico.

Seriously we got the money, go buy a match ready striker right now.
