"Antonio Conte has told me by message that I do not follow at Chelsea and that's it. Conte said he did not count on me for next season."

Wow, huge respect for Conte!

Text thing is bollocks. It Costa looking for a way out, unless he can prove this text is real which quite easy to do so. He can't speak English so how can he read an English text from Conte?

We could use a less volatile striker in our team though.

I like him, he is a great player, might do things that are questionable at times but he is what you want in a team when he is at it. Being a warrior, holding the ball up, bringing others in the game and has electric pace. Just a shame he wants out as i would keep him anyday of the week.

I stand by whatever Conte says but i highly doubt he sent him a text message which he can't read to say you are done with me xD

I'd prefer our striker to be someone we can reliably build our team on. Always never understood what Costa offered. Yea somehow he scored a ton of goals, but to me it felt like his function was mainly to annoy the opposition with his aggression. I mean drogba was a one man battering ram, a great target man. Suarez/Sanchez links up with his teammates very well. Players like martial/henry are forwards comfortable with attacking from the wing. Feels like costa doesn't use his technical ability enough.

He isn't technically sound which was the same for Drogba though, which is again similar to Lukaku. They can control a ball fired up to them, but they never will use Messi like dribbling prowess to beat a man, they beat men with their pace and power ala battering ram. Costa did this the best we seen since Drogba, he also scored and got us out of trouble. The rest of what he did which some do like is just the kind of person he is which when he has 58 goals in 112 games for us i am not that bothered :D

However if Conte really doesn't want him, then so be it, but i wouldn't through Costa under the bus when he clearly said the other week he would only leave Chelsea for Atletico Madrid as they were the ones who treated him well first off.

Damn I wonder what actually fast players would have if Costa's pace is "electric". I get the standard Pande platitudes etc, and sure hes quicker than average but "electric pace?"

Electric pace maybe not right wording but he isn't slow at all he is very quick. There is a reason he heads the ball clear from a corner and is either scoring or in the box when counters go in.....
Just look at the goals he scored for us and Atletico, when you play in teams that score counter attacking goals you are no slouch.

That would be terrible. On the one hand, they're always a fun underdog team to cheer for. On the other hand, I'm jealous they have about the easiest qualification in the world.

What is easier then? NA qualifier is on par and that's about it. The winner of the Oceanian qualifier has to win against the 5th South American team (currently Argentina...) so it's definitely harder.

North America is easier, Africa is about on par. Oceania is a complete joke except for that they only have half a ticket
