Ah Torres! What are you at?

Only tuned in 5 mins from the end of the first half, how was Costa?

His movement was good, ran the space very well. He was wasteful though, missed a few chances. Looked like he played for the penalty too. Don't think he's match fit though.

Torres trying to explain that miss...

Nothing to talk about really apart from a cheeky trailing foot to fool the referee into giving a penalty and a head butt.

Yeah his movement was good but when he got into positions he was torresesque.

Enough to warrant second thoughts from Jose?

He'll get sent off plenty, that's for sure.

Yeah saw the head butt incident, wasn't impressed.

If we sign Costa, we have to keep Lukaku.

Costa will be banned for too much of the season and we can't rely on Torres. Notatall.

I just hope the papers have it wrong re Lukaku. I haven't been able to find any firm rumours about his future, I just hope it's with Chelsea.

DARK-KNIGHT

I remember talk of pool trying to sign costa last summer and there was so much discussion on his behavioural problems. brilliant player but jose better be firm with him or he will be on the bench suspended a lot.

El Horseboxo

Costa is a bit of a nut job alright. He was one of the biggest wind up merchants in la liga. Used to spit on his hand and flick it at other players.

Other than last season he hasn't really done much. I'd be fearful of a once off kinda thing rather than his consistent level going forward.

I'd say that Jose knows what he's getting and how to use him.

The only concern would be about his physicality and how successful it'll be in England.

Drogba made it work but he was class all round.

Costa seems like a bit of a battering ram.

Thee was a good conversation on football weekly about what Jose is looking for though. Last season he was missing his lion-hearted lieutenants on the pitch. The Drogba/Lampard/Terry spine.

Costa can do that for him I'd say. There's enough quality around him but Mourinho needs someone on the pitch setting the standards for grit and determination.

ronsgonawin

Really don't think Costa is the answer. Never been impressed any game I have seem him in. I think it would be a huge mistake to sign someone 25 who has had only one good season

bullpost

Yeah I agree. Suarez has some of Costas nasty side but he's in a different class really.

We have lukaku without going into any market. I'm not saying lukaku's the answer for next season but given our record with big name strikers we've got to be sure we get this one right.
I wasn't impressed with costas performance last night but I suppose no one in a Spain shirt covered themselves in glory last night so it's difficult to judge.

peteeeed

no thanks

Yeh I think your right on lukaku good young striker who can hold up the ball. I also like the look of Jackson martinez but I could be proved wrong in this world cup

I sure will be!

For 2 reasons, 1) I'm English and 2) I have €9 @ 40/1 for him to be first goal scorer

Good luck with it!

Actually have a feeling England will win tonight if they play the Liverpool lads and really go for it

I'm English too, so kind of, but will also be praying for a Chiellini last goal as I've backed him with a free stake @ 33/1!

Cahill to score anytime stuck a tenner on that. Hope England win

Eamon Dunphy has serious man love for "the best defender in the Premiership... John Terry"...
We prefer to call him legend!

Various sources have Jose saying...............

“When the World Cup in Brazil is over, Courtois will be coming straight back to Stamford Bridge – end of story”

From The Guardian

Andersonisgod

Great news regarding Courtois. The old guard has been pretty much removed, now is the time to get Courtois established as Chelsea's number 1.

peteeeed

Bbc also reporting it

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27857265

GavRedKing

So courtois back and costa is wanted.

Good times, need a LB sorted too

hullaballoo

That's great news. Sky reporting that he's confident of securing Costa's signing soon and also that the rumours about Khedira etc are baloney.

If, just if, we can't keep Lukaku, who would you like to see come brought in for him?

I really like the look of Bamford. Even at the playoff final, Derby were toothless without him. Only when he came on (iirc, in the last 10 minutes) did they look capable of scoring. He needs a few dinners and a lot of gym time but he'll get there.

I can't think of anyone we can get for cheap. That Urena lad who got Costa Rica's third might be one to watch through the WC.

Lukker-

He also ruled out signing any Real Madrid players, so that rules out Varane too.

He said Ramires won't be sold either.

kev1.3s

In fairness Jose has been pretty transparent regarding transfers since his return.

Balls

GavRedKing

Id still want Shaw or maybe the Swiss lad Rodreqiuez but theres no chat/rumours about either, wont be any news until after the WC on any signing id say.
