I'm bored now.

Mod can you please change Gem's name to bored.

Why Costa's keen to join 

 

 

EVA!!!!!!

Considering how long we've been after him and supposedly "agreed a deal with him", this transfer hasn't half taken a while.

The club have not confirmed it yet.  

Chelsea Football club have confirmed the signing of Diego Costa, will not be confirmed till the confirmation is announced on the official CFC confirmation page.

Stop wasting guessing time.

Can you confirm thats legit?

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is hopeful the man tipped to be his first summer signing in Diego Costa comes through the World Cup unscathed.

The Atletico Madrid striker has reportedly completed a medical with the Blues who are understood to have activated Costa's £32m release clause after his stunning season at the Vicente Calderon.

Costa, who is expected to lead the line for Spain in their attempts to defend their World Cup crown this summer, meanwhile has done little to quell talk of an imminent move to Stamford Bridge.

Although the end of his domestic campaign was punctured by injury, Mourinho is hoping the Spain international comes through this summer's showpiece injury free to ensure he is fit to start the 2014/15 campaign in style.

"I hope (Costa) has a normal World Cup, no injuries, good holidays and I hope next season he can have a fantastic season," wrote in his Yahoo blog, AS report.

"I don't know where, but I hope he can have a fantastic season next season."

Costa himself has suggested a deal with the Premier League club is in place when recently asked by reporters if he will join Chelsea, telling them: "Well, it looks like it."

Costa's Stamford Bridge-based Spain teammates have also done little to dispel suggestions of the 25-year-old's arrival. When asked whether Costa could instantly adapt to life in the Premier League, full back Cesar Azpilicueta told AS: "Definitely! Physically, Diego is very strong and the Premier League is very demanding in that aspect. I'm sure he'll adapt – he can adapt to any situation."

Costa could also be joined in west London by his Atletico teammate Filipe Luis. The powerful full back is wanted by Chelsea, according to his agent, and his club have already made moves to secure his replacements after signing Guilherme Siqueira from Granada.

Maybe Chelsea are waiting till after the world cup to make sure the players are fit before buying them.

Just think if we signed Costa or Cesc before the world cup and then they broke their leg while playing for Spain. We would be stuck with a player who cant play for us for ages.

They could just as easily do the same during training or pre season, it's just the chance you take.

I highly doubt we are waiting till after the WC because of this.

Theres also a chance their price will rocket if left..

Come on Chelsea lets get em done so we can all relax!!

Costa can't because his buyout clause is £32 million

He could end up going somewhere else though.

I think they're probably already done, just waiting until after the WC to announce it.

If it is already done and everything is signed etc then why wait? Is the guy who writes the story on the Chelsea website on holiday and no one else can do it?

Im with everyone who justs wants it announced.

 

God damn I'm impatient.

That's what I think or at least as good as done

Dunno maybe you should send them an e-mail.

   @KingsOfEuropeX2 Atletico seem to be dragging feet on Costa (in the hope a bigger offer comes in), but sure it'll happen. Suspect Fabregas

 

 

Dominic Fifield always covers Chelsea, doesn't necessarily have inside info but hey, it's a slow news day so feels worth sharing. 

Did his tweet end 'Suspect Fabregas' ?

Why does this remind me of Porto and Hulk, although not as bad?

How could they be stalling it unless we've bid under the release clause (which seems unlikely).

 

Bullsh*t I tell you, bullsh*t!

@KingsOfEuropeX2 ...will too. But that may be a logistical issue given World Cup etc (medicals etc etc)

At least the WC is a good distraction to transfers I suppose.

The Spanish release clauses are a chapter of their own. Activating a release clause doesnt always mean the player is free to move.

If it is already done and everything is signed etc then why wait? Is the guy who writes the story on the Chelsea website on holiday and no one else can do it?

 

I'm beginning to suspect the reason nothing is being officially announced is due to FFP accounting.

 

David Luiz is still a Chelsea player despite everything being done weeks ago. All parties say Rakitic to Barca is done but won't be confirmed until after the WC.

 

It's the only thing that makes sense.
