Well this Costa subplot is something we don't need.

Bad timing and unessary distraction. Could trigger a period of instability and start dropping points

Trouble is I saw something a week or two ago mentioning his interest in going to China.
Yes it is bad timing, but we saw last season what a disinterested Diego Costa can be like. He was a nightmare, but how do we deal with it. Try and buy a striker who can see us through the season. I wouldn't sell Costa, if he thinks he can hold the club to ransom, f! Him stick him in the stand and if he's refusing to play fine him wages each week.
If he derails our championship challenge, there wouldn't be a more hated Chelsea player ever. I know they are offering silly money, but he's hardly struggling on the money we are paying him.
Let's hope he thinks and realises any offer will still be there in June, in fact if we kick on and win the league and he keeps scoring, he could command even more money. But most importantly he could leave a hero.

Look if he's not happy go it would be a sad loss but if he stays who's to say he will play the same there no good time for this to happen but at least we have half the transfer window left to find his replacement. management get busy

Agree with Andrew. Now time for Costa to do what is asked of him, lead the team to the premiership, and show what a fantastic player he is. In the summer then we can review the position and maybe let him go to China if that what he wants. We get more money he gets his wish. Time for Diego to man up and show us what he can do.

Agree0 Disagree0

A huge story developing with Costa. Dropped by the club over his refusal to play as reports emerge he is off to China on £30m per year wages. Insane if it is true.

Payet rumours gathering pace, apparently between us and Marsellie now. Personally, I don't think he's what we need, so I hope these rumours aren't true. Any further updates eds?
Cheers

I hope upon hope we never sign the likes of Payet. Not because of his ability, but any player refusing to play for there club should slung into the stand and fined his wages each week, so he would be sitting there for nothing. Certainly let him rot till the summer if not beyond. It may sound extreme but loyalty to your supporters if not your employer is important.
So no thank you

So what's your opinion on Costa Andrew?

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 19:42:53
Makelele supposedly did similar at Real Madrid prior to joining Chelsea.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 22:01:38
To be honest 11skelljcfc I didn't see the Costa story until about an hour ago. I have given my opinion on Costa above, and to be honest it is much the same. No player is bigger than the club.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 22:54:00
Fair enough.

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - Try the Sharkopod.

13 Jan 2017 14:14:54
You didn't mention him on the sharkpod?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Go and listen again.}

13 Jan 2017 17:24:25
Didn't listen to shark pod, so don't know what was said about Gibson. I would love to get him the new JT.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Why don't you listen to it.}

13 Jan 2017 22:03:35
To be honest ed02 lack of time.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed033's Note - You must be pretty busy not to have a spare 20 minutes!

13 Jan 2017 22:18:38
Moving house and two small grandsons, but I will try to listen

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2017 02:19:27
That's why the eds get upset Andrew mate. There are 6 or 7 posts above, which you have written, but you say you don't have 20 mins to listen the shark pod.

Can you imagine how fed up the eds must be when they take the trouble to give all the latest info in a verbal communication, but people come on here and ask questions, which have been dealt with, because they can't be bothered to listen to the shark pod.

Agree2 Disagree0

I've got a question for the Eds. Do any of you know what the plans are for Charly Musonda in January? Are the club looking to loan him again (Roma has been mentioned by his father) or might he be staying to provide some cover?
Especially if RLC were to leave on loan we'd be left a little short in attacking options, so it might be better to keep him around.

Thanks for your time :)

{Ed002's Note - Roma has spoken with Chelsea and the plan is that he will go there if a couple of things can be smoothed out.}

13 Jan 2017 10:21:33
Surely there is no truth in the buy option? £7m would be a horrendous act on our part.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for an incredibly swift reply, Ed!

Sometimes I don't understand the club though. Salah will be back for them from AFCON in a couple of weeks, and he's a sure fire starter for them. Dzeko (or in any case a striker) also starts for them. So where will he play at Roma? I really think this would result in him again sitting on the bench and not getting minutes. Pointless loan if you ask me.

And assuming RLC goes out this month, that leaves us with Willian, Pedro and Hazard for the 2 spots behind Costa. 1 injury and we're screwed.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Players come and go and Roma have let one move on a loan (he will not play for them again) and they are looking for a replacement. There was no intention for Musonda to be at Chelsea this season.}
