We don't know all the facts but given his importance to their last two title wins he does seem to have been managed poorly by Conte. He's clearly an arsehole but he's done a lot for the club and so arguably deserves more than just being unceremoniously sidelined. Precisely; we only know what some (not all ITK) choose to make public and that in turn is subject to what the media then want to "publish". I have known about lots of things in my life that have been reported by the press and I can honestly say not once have they got their facts 100% right. That part of the media relating the Costa issues is not exactly known to be truthful, fair, balanced, transparent, etc. and generally spin things in a way that they know their regular readers/listeners want to hear. I don't know whether Costa or Chelsea is the victim or villain and I really don't care very much. Everyone involved can retire today and live a life of luxury. |

So someone who made a major contribution to their title win being told he was no longer wanted by text message. In the public domain and not denied by any party. OK we don't know every single detail but that alone is pretty inexcusable behavior. |

I wish there was a way we could get him here until Atletico's transfer ban is up and he goes back. He's a C you next Tuesday but he would be our C you next Tuesday for a while. It would be a bit of breathing space while we try and sort out our striker problems in the long term

Was it after the club made a lengthy attempts to contact the guy or his agents that were ignored? I would guess the club are a lot more reluctant to "wash their dirty linen in public" then the player and his advisers/agents etc. We have to remember with these top players that the clubs are not just dealing with a player. These players on huge earnings have a team of experts* working for and advising them. (* agents, lawyers, accountants, PR adviser, trainer, etc.) You have successfully drawn me into the debate I didn't want to show interest in.  |

The manager treated him with a total lack of respect and the club sanctioned it. Why should he show them any respect? No where have I said in the above post he has to show them respect But we are now getting to the stage where players want it both ways They want the security of a five year contract but at the same time want the right to piss off giving at most a four and a bit months notice often weeks For the sanity of football this madness has to stop why should footballers have their cake and eat it What's the point of having cake and not being able to eat it. I've never quite worked that one out. Are you supposed to put it out on the bird table? |

As I said we don't know all the ins and outs but we agree its inexcusable and I'd add pretty dumb to that. As I alluded to earlier they've given him a lot of traction if it comes to him taking a legal route to get out of his contract via constructive dismissal. |

Im no lover of Chelsea either BUT, this guy epitomises everything that is wrong with football today
and, 'they' ( him and Chelsea) were made for each other
Greedy, arrogant, cynical and happiest seemingly when cheating - They live by their own bottom dwelling
standards borne of the former qualities I mention.
I'm finding it hard to imagine why anybody would defend such a character(s)
they soil our game

I'm finding it hard to imagine why anybody would defend such a character(s) they soil our game If you got rid of every player who has some of the ‘characteristics’ you mention then we would be playing 5 a side. Football is not a game played by gentleman! Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely hate diving and trying to get players sent off and feigning injury. BUT on the flipside, I absolutely think it is alright to get under the opposing players skin, the odd shirt pull, nudge, kick along the way etc, it goes both ways and if you give it you have to take it, Costa just isn’t good at taking it. |

nope there are just certain ones who take the whole package to extremes
I'll give you another couple of examples of individuals who take this cyincal approach to football to a different level
I'm thinking a slightly lessor one Cesc Fabregas but in particular and, as bad as it gets
one Carlos Tevez
both of whom are also reprehensible - but the second one, absolutely horrible in their whole attitude to professional sport -
and possessing a firm belief that the rules that apply to the rest of us - dont actually apply to the likes of them
and to me that is, utterly detestable
and Costa exhibits the same total arrogance and loss of reality in pretty much all things he does

Costa is toxic, a great player but also a massive cunt, Chelsea deserve him and he deserves Chelsea. If he doesn't turn up then he shouldn't be paid, but I really don't care either way, it's not my money. He may be a massive c*** but I'd have him here in a heartbeat. |

The game at Stoke last season when Diego took rolling about to new heights he was doing it right in front of Conte who looked at him with a full on death stare (like the one the Mrs gives you).
Pretty obvious then that Conte shared the Stoke crowds disdain of this complete bell end.
cracking player though.

I would argue that Costa's behaviour since the summer has only proven Conte to be correct in wanting him out of the club. His behaviour on and off the pitch last season was something Conte had to put up with but the first chance to get rid he has taken. I get that it's not smart commercially but Conte is a poor character and in my view very overrated as a player too. What behavior did he have to put up with? He was a major part in their title win, overrated I wish he'd come and be overrated here. Don't you remember when he tried to force a move to China in January? And that he tried to get himself sent off in practically every game he played. Protected only by ridiculously lenient refereeing which is reserved for the big boys. And yes he is overrated. Don't give me that 'I wish he as overrated here' bollocks. Sure he's better than what we have here I didn't say otherwise. Chelsea would have won each of their titles with a number of different players who would have caused far less trouble and been more effective than he was. Was he overrated in 2015/16 when Chelsea and he tanked? |

Tevez has now fucked off from his Chinese club despite being the most highly paid footballer on the planet.
Sorry but some of these mercenaries want shooting - they demand the highest wages they can but then down tools when they feeling like having a strop.
The case of Tevez is shocking - paid 650 thousand per week in a country where most are still living in poverty or working in inhumane conditions.

Costa or his agent try to engineer a move by using China
Conte decides he is no longer in his plans and tells him (all he it by text)
Costa goes on strike.
I’m with conte on this one

Fine him the max amount allowed! He's an employee and doesn't get to decide if he should show up for work or not. Think I'll ring the boss and tell him I'm the main man and I've unilaterally decided to extend my holidays and he can fuck himself if he doesn't like it... LOL |
