Cicero Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Can't help but feel Moses is the main culprit behind that. Sure there are a lot of variables, but his poor crossing always seems to spring into mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Depends on personnel as well, Costa doesn't really feed off crosses at all whereas Morata is the complete opposite. Having Moses and Alonso though will play some part in those statistics being low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Alonso puts in decent balls, but hardly for good headers. Moses can't cross the ball to save his life, also his finishing needs work big time. I like Moses he puts a good fight and with Zappacosta in he must step up or lose his spot to the Italian.

It's not a matter of 'if', rather a matter of when. I spoke about this a few weeks ago. When Dave is at RWB, he always looks for the open player to play a cross vs Moses who always takes players head on. Even when a player is open in the box, Moses always ignores them which is frustrating. When by chance he does whip in a cross, it's sunday league esq. If i've noticed that, Conte surely has. Zappacosta will most definitely be a RWB looking for options in the box, which I'm sure Conte wants.

LFCMadLad Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) My wife once shagged an Italian at a swingers convention who was a Torino fan, so I text him the other day to ask about zappacosta and he said he's wank at football but his bird takes it up the arse Edited September 2, 2017 by LFCMadLad 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Sources close to unsettled Chelsea striker Diego Costa, 28, say he has offered no suggestion he is prepared to return to the London club and make himself available for selection. (Telegraph) Chelsea are understood to be considering suing Costa for up to £50m if he does not return to the club. (Express) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Can't wait for him to fuck off, great player but chose to be a child rather to honor his contract. Missed pre season, got paid for all the months he wasn't in the club. Sell him in January, don't pay him until then the club will probably also sue him which they have the right to.

Someone in Costa's camp needs to point out to him how Adrian Mutu found himself with a 17M bill come the end of many court episodes facing Romans lawyers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Heard the 'texts' weren't even true, as Conte told him back in January what his plans for him were. Telling him not to leave in January but to wait out the season until the summer. Based on character and credibility, what simple minded individual would believe Costa over Conte?

Telling him not to leave in January but to wait out the season until the summer. Based on character and credibility, what simple minded individual would believe Costa over Conte? This has been Conte's truth from the start. As I understand it. Jan : Chinese club offer him huge offer. Costa wants to cash in, Club say no. Costa throws wobbly leading to Conte to blow his top during one training session where he tells Costa "There is always fucking something with you Diego, just fuck off to China" Club continue to say he must stay and a agreement is made with Chelsea/Conte Costa and his agent that he can leave at end of season. Rules change in China, so his offer is no longer on the table. Suddenly works out he wont get more money than he is currently getting at Chelsea n changes tune. Come the end of the season Mendes is talking possible contract extension, Conte says we have an agreement, he is leaving. While in Brazil Costa tells club he wants to stay, club are unresponsive with answer leaving Costa to question Conte who reminds him of the promise the club made he can leave. Mendes does not back Costa's words or stance since the famed interview he gives telling of Conte Text. Where we are today : Chelsea tell Costa to return ~ No Costa : Mendes tells Costa to return ~ No Costa : Alleged Athletico tell Costa to return. Alleged National team have told Mendes if Costa does not return to Chelsea he will not be considered for the coming world cup. Added to PL squad, Omitted from CL squad, suggesting maybe a deal is in place for the winter and destination club do not want him cup-tied. Lastly, we have other squad members being brave enough to tease Costa and even the leagues best player admitting he holds a hope Costa will return to the fold at Chelsea. Messy? Just a bit. Problem is and always is with Chelsea, we dont comment officially on any of these type of things which allows the idiot press and weak minded to run with bollocks. My own opinion: If Conte leaves it will be the 2nd manager Costa has managed to get out of Chelsea. No matter what Jose tells us now, it was Diego who was the first player to instigate the anti Jose feeling before the Swansea game. You can only have a cancer in the dressing room for so long and Diego's time is up. As much as I think our manager has a HUGE fault in his make-up, he proved last season he is the best manager around at this time. He needs to concentrate on the players he has, like last season, and give us another good season. We still have lots of very good players.

The Liquidator Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Spanish Jackanory rag Marca are reporting tonight Costa is back in London. Truth probably is he is still in Brazil. Word coming out of Cobham today is he has been in daily contact with many of the Chelsea players this past fortnight who have been trying to get him to return. When you couple this with Hazards words of hope for Costa you cant help feeling the manager is being... well I am sure I dont need to paint you a picture.
