Diego Costa

Now a free agent after agreeing to end his deal with Athletico. Looks a mourhino signing to me, a twat playing for a twat.
I don’t think Sir Harry will allow him to join them.

Rags, on the other hand...
 
It’s a no brainier to bring someone of his quality in to the squad when we are desperately short of options.

I think it’s often a good idea to bring a bit of experience in for 12 months - see Giovanni, David Pizzaro, Vieira, Demichellis, Lampard.


Lampard is the stand out one and I bet people were against that because he’s “past it”

I’d get Costa in and see what he can do.

Who are we going to drop from the squad.
It would be better to bring in Delap or Palmer on a more regular basis.
A short term loan is of no use if it means getting rid of one of our current squad members

Surely we can dispose of Eric Garcia? What is the point in having a 5th choice centre back who doesn’t want to be here blocking the path for Harwood-Bellis?

My point is that Costa has a very good knack of scoring goals and we seem to have a very good knack of missing sitters. I don’t see how promoting Cole Palmer is going to change that?

Getting rid of Garcia will not free up a spot.
Because of his age he does not take up a senior spot.
I have no problem bringing in an experienced player on loan to get us through this season but I cannot see Pep allowing anyone to leave.
Maybe Zinchenko but the January transfer deadline is upon us and with the current Covid problems we are low enough on players as it is.

It is possible that we could take in on loan a British player but not sure what forwards are available of a high enough standard to help us out.

We couldn’t get a British player we have 4 homegrown already.

I meant just taking a british player in instead of Costa.
No matter what we do re loans or transfers nothing can happen unless we sell or drop players from our squad.
I can't envisage an Ozil or Phil Jones scenario where we will keep players who are not able to play for us.
 
funny thing is was talking to my lad the other day about Costa when i posted about the free transfer or loan striker we need ? he said costa is a nightmare to handle and a ticking time bomb on the field with players getting to him because they know his game

but i said that's in team that has that bite and steel to there game then yes but city play a different style and not long ball punt and play from there like his chelsea days. if he is free and cost little in signing on fees and wages then why not ? if he scores one big goal in a tight game or final then money well spent
