Diego Costa - Free Agent

So, I'm putting 2 and 2 together and getting a five digit answer with decimal points here, but I can't help wondering about whether we would be able to tempt him here for an 18 month contract.

Found this article from last year from Stuart Pearce:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/talksport.com/football/572098/west-ham-transfer-news-diego-costa-west-ham-stuart-pearce/amp/

A brilliant striker on his day. And a horrible bastard.

You lot didn't like my Arnie suggestion. How about Costa then you cunts?

Normally I hate us signing or even being linked with these sorts of players.

I would make an exception here though. I'd love to see this lunatic in a West Ham shirt stamping on opposition defenders.

Think he wants to stay in Spain.

I should imagine Sullivan’s ears twitching once this news was released.

Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

I've never really liked him as an opposing player but he is everything that Haller isn't.

I'd take him.

I've missed the story - why is he leaving Atletico?

Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

Nasty cunt. And very unlikeable. Which is why I would love to see him play for us.

Utter bastard.

Wrong age.

Ex Chelsea.

Scores goals.

Burn Haller for insurance. 8 year contract. Get him.

pdbis 4:03 Tue Dec 29
Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

Not scored much lately has he?

Hammer and Pickle 4:07 Tue Dec 29
Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

Sums up everything that's wrong with Brazilian football culture these days even better than Anderson. Yep, sign him up so they can hold hands.

Hammer and Pickle 4:12 Tue Dec 29
Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

Mind you, I approve of burning Haller down for the insurance as a policy.

Sven Roeder 4:14 Tue Dec 29
Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

A fellow called Luis Suarez has gone to Atletico and I presume is keeping him out by banging in goals left right & centre

Takashi Miike 4:29 Tue Dec 29

YES

WHUDeano 4:38 Tue Dec 29
Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

100% yes

Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

Big name players on their way out of the game hasn’t really worked out for us in the past has it?

What has this guy got to prove at West Ham?

Could go Ian Wright
Could go Davor Suker wrong

I’m not so Robbie Keane on this one though.

Westham67 5:38 Tue Dec 29
Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

I would take him for sure

He doesn’t look like he deodorises

Five years ago maybe. No way now. One-way ticket to the treatment table.

PwoperNaughtyButNot 5:06 Tue Dec 29

Normally I’d agree but he is a lunatic and driven. I think his drive to compete and win is just a part of who he is. He would be elbowing people over the park for free if he was shit.

Re: Diego Costa - Free Agent

Good player for Chelsea but a massive cunt. Too expensive. Doubt his heart would be in it. Probably past it a bit now too.
