I wonder whether he gave it the biggun, when he met JT on the training ground, lol

I doubt it, he's probably sound off the pitch but puts it on in a match, plays with aggression.

Call me a cynic, but I found it notable that he said he was looking forward to competing professionally with Fernando Torres for a start in the team. No mention of lukaku.

It's a conspiracy, I telt thee!

already got blood stains on his shirt xD

You can just tell he's going to end up being an absolute warrior for us. Loving the nasty f**ker already.

So it's true, the bad boys do get all the love.

Hoping Costa brings his Atletico form with him to Chelsea colours.

What he lacks in silky skills and dribbling ability he makes up for with his tenacity and bullish attitude on the pitch. One thing is for sure and that's Costa will give 100% every game, something I feel some of our current/most recent crop of strikers could learn from.

I'd be happy with 20-25 goals in all competitions and other players who have just had their first season to step up.

Good guy kevin.

^^ 20-25 goals would be excellent. We need those extra 10 goals from our striker. The goals we lacked last season.

I like his attitude and you can see he actually means what he says.

I read that his aggression and never say die attitude turns him from an ordinary guy into a superstar.

 

Its kind of true, he seems to run himself into the ground.

Thought I'd bring the Costa thread back after his superb performance today ... "Are you watching, are you watching 65% of the disbelievers on the Shed End Forums ! "

Was a superbly taken goal, great pace and a powerful finish

A real essence of Drogba in Costa's goal today.

An ecstatic Costa celebrates his first Chelsea goal:

 

 

 

I bet we can get him to crack a smile before Christmas...

Lets see how he does in real matches, hope he continues his goal scoring form at CFC - especially if his backups are Drogba/other

You couldn't even bring yourself to say 'Torres', could you?

I might as well not mention anyone if that's our backup option 

Quick question.

 

Is the lack of names on the back of the shirts a permanent thing?

 

I really like it!

No just for friendlies.

Though costa was very impressive, really hope he proves me wrong this year. Good start.

Seeing that finish, I went from 6 to 12 o'clock instantly. Only one man in our recent history could hit them like that, and he just happens to be back on the bench. Roll on the new season

nice to see a striker back at the Bridge! been a while since we last saw one...

I hope fabregas grows his hair back and has a shave by the time the season kicks off. he looks horrid atm, i want the dashing fabregas back!!

Filipe Luis could do with a bit of a trim, too.

The goal, for those who haven't seen it yet.

He's balding, best you're gonna get is that overgrown nonsense he had at Barca.
