Lol at that clown who was going on and on about how Costa is a Conte type player and Lukaku isn't. 

Something can be worked out with Madrid. Loan him with a 'buy' option in January with loads of performance incentives thereafter. We'll never get proper value now but at least we can try to work it up. 

Whats the deal with 20m being the limit anyway?

Lol would sooner we let him rot in the reserves than get 20mill for him. 

Top move by him eh, drag the club and the manager through the mud. No class, but I would expect no less from him. 

Malouda the pleb, let him talk to the media about being the highest paid Chelsea reserve player for the next 2 years. 

Hahahahahah. And he strikes again.

so basically he has openly admitted that conte does not want him, he wants to leave, so now we hardly hold any sway in his transfer. Well done Diego, very well done.

Even at the beginning of the last season he pulled the same crap. His attitude stunk but The place .By the way, should I be eligible for an apology from every person that dissed on me since I did not want costa here and said I hope he fails against whu (he himself has confirmed that he wanted to leave for atm before they got gameiro). 

I hope we sell him ASAP for any price any team is willing to pay. His constant drama is a headache. Hope he gets lost soon, and we can get a player who actually wants to play for us.

Atletico can probably only afford Costa's wages on a £20m or less transfer, this whole thing stinks to me at the mo but we need more info, really want to hear what Conte has to say and whether or not he actually sent him a text telling him to get lost.

And no way can we Malouda him on the wages he is on and for 2 years, £20m is better than nothing and the only reason we Malouda'd Malouda was because he refused to be sold.

What a joker. Why drag the club and manager through the mud here? And why does Conte suddenly not him in his plans when he was one of the crucial reasons we won? Something doesn't add up.

So where can I find this news?

Hmmm.. a certain club in Manchester is desperate for a new No 9.

Why would Jose make the same mistake twice. I hope he does, but I just dont see it happening.

Is all likely bs to force us to sell him to atletico. He continues to disrespect our club almost every summer he has been here. And he kissed the badge recently too... 

Just hope we get a good fee for him.

Had enough of his circus now.

Id sell him to Milan or some other w**khole in the middle east/asia. f**k him. Id rather have him rot in the reserves and get nothing then sell him to Atletico

What a load of tripe, an outright lie that I don't care what anyone says. Such an immense player who never quite settled, best of luck to him but shameful behaviour at the end.

Is this actually true? I can't see Conte telling him via text message, he'd do it face to face surely?

Costa doesn't even speak English so I am confused.

There is his interview few pages backs. There is on all media. He really said all of this, but on Brazilian and someone translate it to english, how hard is that ?

It`s obvious Costa is doing poor s*** again and trying to twist our hands once again.

After the end of the season Conte probably speak with every player and tell to the players he won`t count, look you are in not my plan for the next season you may search for a new club. That is probably happen with Costa.
But of course once again he f*** us with this and trying to lower his price.

Ac Milan are in for new striker, we should sell him to the them and all would be happy. The price should be arround 45-50mln. And all side are happy.

Then if we can get Lukaku for 50-60mln., then that will be superb. If we can`t i would look elsewhere. I don`t think we should overpay big for any player on the world.

We have good scout network and can found someone who`s is not overpriced and hyped.

And with Costa being sold, we need 2 strikers for sure.

 

 

As long as we get 60 mill plus for him I don't care where he goes, from a goals ratio perspective he's right up there so he should be fetching that amount 

I smell sh*te, I don't see that being how Conte operates at all, I think Costa is at it again. Also as someone else said Costa doesn't speak English so he wouldn't have a clue what that message said.

 

i think he's trying to manipulate a move away and if that's the case, get shot of him. This circus is an embarrassment. I don't even particularly rate Lukaku but I'll take him over Costa and his antics now.

I imagine this message came in the form of a horses head being left on his pillow.

Just a reminder...

We can't sell him to Atlético Madrid as they currently have a transfer ban.

I think we can sell him, they just can't register him until January to play. Much like when Barca had a transfer ban and still went out and signed Turan and Aleix Vidal

I'm heartbroken. 

We seem rather determined to get rid, rather cold!

Retribution for the China stuff?  

Football's a cut throat business. He's been great for about half the time he's been here and a complete liability and trouble the other half.

Retribution for him being a one man circus on and off the pitch, China, his love affair with Atletico, his BS to manipulate situations for his benefit?

Tiresome.
