Have we signed Diego Costa yet?

[MVP]

Any player can look good against the embarrassingly bad opponents we’ve had in the Europa League. He’s had a few nice moments but that‘s it. He’s been hooked early a couple of times even in those low level matches.

He has played just 12 minutes in the PL which is a really worrying sign, Mourinho clearly hasn’t been impressed. I doubt there have been many 25 year old strikers who have made so little impact in the PL and gone on to turn it around. He literally never plays.

There aren't many 25 year olds that have to compete for a place with a world class striker. He needs more time ( see Ndombele).

 

[Bazali]

A traffic cone could replace Fernandez.

Leave Arteta out of this!

 

[Bazali]

There aren't many 25 year olds that have to compete for a place with a world class striker. He needs more time ( see Ndombele).

Or Sissoko

 

[Nikesh]

Surely we should wait till the summer and get Messi instead

 

[Tomo]

Please no, aside from being a prick he is over the hill.

 

[StripiestPilot]

He shouldn’t need this much time to get more than 12 minutes in the league.

 

[Gym&Chill]

Could be a decent bit of business. We need a bit of fight. Might come good and rediscover some of that PL form. He was fucking quality a few years ago.

 

[harry7]

Can he defend corners?

 

[TonySoprano]

Avoid at all costs.

 

[cretinousgoat]

Wouldn't mind seeing him sign, just to read the meltings that would happen here. Proper lockdown bedtime reading!

 

[ArmadilloSackRace]

It’d be fucking hilarious if we signed him.

I can imagine him completely shithousing the scousers in a few weeks, and the ensuing meltdown from their fans would make the whole thing worth it

 

[Nawh]

He can join the wolves too

 

[spursmalc]

From on-the-pitch rows and throwing bibs at Jose Mourinho to telling Antonio Conte he wanted to leave on his first day in charge and abducting him during a press conference.

Throwing Bibs at Mourinho rules this a non starter

 

[halothagod]

Everyone wanted Bale and look how that turned out. As everyone doesn’t want this it might just work.

 

[bonaspur23]

Why would we want to sign him? The track record of 30+ year olds signing massive contracts on frees is not good of late.
