• Well in my opinion he’ll be another Torres but more petulant. I think given what little I’ve seen of him he’ll likely pick up more cards than goals….. Nothing he’s done has impressed…I hope I’m wrong but I think he’s a waste of money…..

• Well take a look at Lukakus form now under the World cup he has made Torres look like a 50million Pound striker.

  • Kevin, I totally agree. I hope our pessimism is wrong, but Costa looks ordinary. Lukaku has not excelled at the World Cup, but unlike Costa, he has proven himself in England. Jose clearly doesn’t rate him as Champions League material. I find that bizarre.

• I think he will be great for us he is big, strong and made for premier league football. Only time will tell and we need to be patient with him. Costa and lukaku (if he stays ) will be great next season.

• Fine post. I worry that Costa’s injury issue will become chronic. Lukaku is a talent, but his attitude is terrible, and that may be his downfall ultimately. Torres puts in the effort, but his goal scoring skills are long gone. What to do?

• Lusaka is not good enough for Chelsea, he has,nt got the temperament to knuckle down and keep his mouth shut. Costa is a one season wonder and looked very ordinary at the world cup against good defenders. Way too much money for him. A much cheaper bet would be Remy or Wilfred bony, two proven goalscorers in the pl.

• Phil, so Costa too much is big and strong. Well he’s just an overpriced Mick Harford. As for being patient, well nobody is patient any more. Owners, managers, fans, and even players have no patience any more. Every one at the big clubs demands success in an instant.
