Diego Costa

[Reece]

I am seriously underwhelmed, how on earth does Costa fit into Rodgers system??

Hes hardly comparable to Miki, seems like desperation

Some people are hard to please

Who out there should we be going for that we have a realistic chance of getting?

I admit I barely know anything about this guy, but it's hard not to be excited about him from what I'm reading/seeing.

Never seen him play other than the obligatory youtube clips but this seems legit, reported by the Echo, Guardian, Express and BBC so there is something in this and shows a sign of intent something which people have been questioning the longer the transfer window has gone on. He looks an absolute lunatic, he's makes Suarez look cuddly and likeable in comparison but his fight and desire can't be questioned.

I'm not sure where he would fit in with the likes of Sturridge but another attacking player on the books drives another nail into Downings coffin with any luck.

Lets hope we can get this done quickly then get the nutcase from Greece sorted so we can literally fight our way back to the top

I'd love us to sign him. He'd be hated so badly by everyone else that it alone would make him fun to follow :-)

[smither]

no, but having seen how that turned out, i'd just as soon avoid more of that bull**** in future

Boooooring.

I want a circus. We're not going to win anything for a while so let's just have a laugh eh?

[Gazzla]

**** it lets get Bellers back as well

Scott Sinclair and Ashley Williams

Tor-Kristian Karlsen @karlsentk
7) Soldado (Spurs) & Negredo (Man City) more "talented" & prolific, but Diego Costa's mentality/playing style may even be more suited to PL

[spud_gun]

Should have bid £21,800,001

[Slinky Skills]

Isn't it pleasantly refreshing to be linked with such fantastic players as Diego Costa

Don't you ****ing start!

[Fivex]

Don't you ****ing start!

Admit it Slinky, you've had 3 wanks already.

@karlsentk Hi Tor-Kristian, would Costa add anything in a defensive capacity? Would he track back and help out the midfield, for example?

Tor-Kristian Karlsen @karlsentk
@LFCDane_89 yes, definitely

I hope that we do a quick deal before any other desperate club also make a €25m bid.

If Rodgers want him then we should do everything we can to sign him up.

I wonder whether we'll play a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 next season.

You'd end up with Suarez, Sturridge, Costa and Aspas in the same team (4-2-3-1), with Borini, Alberto, Sterling and Downing as back-up.

Coutinho as well of course who can play wide left/inside forward.

[el matador]

Negredo more talented ? He's the Jose Enrique of strikers.

The first time he really stood out was when he scored that goal vs real Madrid in the cup. His link up play with falcao was excellent and if anything he will play as the 10. Coutinho will start wide but im sure him, costa and Suarez can all move around fluently.

But he doesn't look like a very skilful or tricky player. Very hard working but technically good.
