Just read the news.

He's been treated like a "criminal" in Chelsea.

Poor him.

both didnt handle the situation well.
Costa wanted to leave every season since he has been here. trying to engineer a move in January as well when we were on a title hunt.
Conte isn't the type of manager to take his bullshit. he rather kill you than have a player that is not committed. we know this from the start.

he said he had a good relationship with Mourinho and never had a problem.
dont forget he threw a bib at JM when he was subbed out for not performing?
not playing well as well, trying to look for fights instead under JM's 3rd season which led to Jose's sacking.
I think Conte identified this as the reason for Mourinho sacking.

not to say Conte is 100% correct. he shouldn't have just send him a text msg like that. at least let the club handle his sales to get rid of Costa for the agreeable fee. now that it is known Costa isn't wanted, his price dropped. and Costa making Altetico is one and only target, Altetico is only willing to pay 20m, when Chelsea value him at least 80m now. losing 60m there is not what Chelsea will do.

the way i see it, probably Costa lawsuit will fail. he will be sitting in Brazil until Jan window before we ship him to Altetico, on loan or permanently.

Costa and his agent knew Costa is not in Conte's plan since january 2017
they have more than six months to find next club
then, a. madrid ban from transfer and China got new transfer rule, Costa cant go neither way, so wanna stay again...
that message thing is just a bullshit to justify himself as a 'victim'

At last,someone else realises this as well. For all the tenacity he shows on the pitch,coupled with the trophies he's won with us,he doesn't have much of a spine does he? Guaranteed starter for the last what, 3,4 seasons? the minute the club decides to bring in some competition / backup,he immediately wants to leave. Great player,weak mentality.

Wish the board were a little smarter and sold to juventus though. For everyone drooling over his performance for utd, I admit he was very good but he also lost possession a couple of times in dangerous areas which better teams would definitely be able to punish. West ham were unbelievably poor it was shocking.

Today came to work kena mocked by MU fans. Damn those lalang... will wait for their team kalah...

yep i agree. he already plan to leave, never truly settled in England as well.
now there's a lawsuit coming up, of course he needs to make himself look like a victim.
in fact, I would say he is the one who is cornered himself.
he cant get back to the Chelsea team, as long as Conte is there.
he will be fined and not be paid any wages as long as he is in Brazil.
A. Madrid cant register him
China can't buy him, unless they will to pay China 100% tax.
so he cant do anything but to sit in Brazil, waste half a season to NOT get into the Spanish team for WC. and there's not telling if he will even be fit when he returns to football.

and Morata to take his place in WC squad.

never crossed Conte.

Wait, Conte purposely lost the match to make a statement to board to sign more players. Right right?

TLDR:
-£25m bid for Valencia full-back Joao Cancelo
-increase their offer for Leicester’s England midfielder Danny Drinkwater to £25m in the next 24 hours
-are ready to offer £30m for Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
-more than £50m for Southampton centre-back Virgil Van Dijk

Chelsea grant Antonio Conte his transfer wish: £130m spree will commence to appease boss

CHELSEA are ready to spend £130million before the end of the transfer window to try to keep manager Antonio Conte happy.

The Premier League champions had a disastrous start to the defence of their title on Saturday as they crashed 3-2 at home to Burnley and had two men sent off.

Conte, who has repeatedly said he needs more players, has been promised three more by owner Roman Abramovich before the deadline on August 31.

“We have a small squad… Everyone can see the situation, not because the coach shouts, ‘I want this’, or, ‘I want this’," he said.

"The situation is very clear. We are trying to improve the situation but, for me and for my players, the best way now is to be focused on the pitch, to work, to try to improve and don't think of the other situation.

"But, for sure, we hope, in the future, to improve this situation because you can see.”

Chelsea have made a £25m bid for Valencia full-back Joao Cancelo, will increase their offer for Leicester’s England midfielder Danny Drinkwater to £25m in the next 24 hours, are ready to offer £30m for Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and more than £50m for Southampton centre-back Virgil Van Dijk.

Blues defender Cesar Azpilicueta backed his manager’s call for more quality reinforcements as he said: “When you see the players we lost, and the players we have signed in, they are not the same.”

Chelsea have already spent some £130m on four new players this summer, and are ready to bring new £40m midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko into their squad for the crunch clash with Tottenham at Wembley on Sunday.

The France midfielder has been recovering from an ankle injury but has returned to full training, and such is the lack of numbers that he could be rushed back.

Chelsea will be without skipper Gary Cahill and midfielder Cesc Fabregas, both banned after being sent off against Burnley.

Victor Moses will return after suspension, and Chelsea expect striker Pedro to have recovered from an ankle problem.

do we even need that much? just add OX and Barkley (which news on him have been slow down recently)

please bring Ox to Stamford bridge...

if ox came to SB, i can put my full name d on my new jersey

drinkwater, oxlade and barkley would add english contingent in our squad. that would be good. van dijk is a bonus if we can snatch him from signing with liverpool.

in ur dream
end up suckwater,, oxlady, barly and van dick

Danny rose ?

LOL!

relax bruh.. just 1st match. 39 to go....

bolded part applied to lukaku as well

i feel you bro, just smile and move along

actually how many epl team can comeback from 3-0 down to 3-2 in the end:

3-0 first half : horrible
first sent off on red card : 3-1
second sent off on red card : 3-2

still managed to score with 1-2 men down thanks to the ref (partially)...i still feel positive at least for myself

morata definitely starter over batsman for me

Follow ur pattern Pawson should've sent off third player then we will 3-3
