    Chelsea won 15 points as a result of Diego's goals. Only one was a penalty. Kane scored 6 pens (6 Alli assists), Aguero 5 pens.

    Think Costa won most points in 14/15 too.

    He is not profilic, banging in hat-tricks like Aguero or Kane, but he is a big game player like Didier, who also was not prolific against relegated teams.

    Gamebreaking goals win titles.

    He is a total cock, granted, but he will be missed. Adios Diego

    If we get £60m for a moody 28 year old with the body of a 70 year old, it is a no brainer. He is a massive caner and doesn't take care of his body so if we can cash in we should

    Very true, though i was reading that his Chinese move may not happen after all. Helps to have Batshuayi already at the club. He's looked more than useful when i've seen him lately. Should have played more games.

    His link up play needs improving, he should have played more.

    Harsh on Bats playing Haza as false no 9 when AC dropped Conte

    I wouldn't be too sad to see Costa go.
    He has been a great player for us, and has scored lots of important goals, but if we receive an offer of £60m+ for him, we should take it.
    We have Batshuayi and no doubt will buy a pricey replacement (Morata or Lukaku).
    Costa is a divisive player and I am not too keen on his temperament sometimes, though he has improved this season.

    I don't see us winning the league next season to be honest, I think it will be transitional.
    We have won the league twice in the last three seasons. I would like to see us give the Champions League a good go though.
    Been 5 years......

    Depends on what signings are made.
    If our new striker gels and hits the ground running.
    United and City will spend a fortune.
    United have more or less got Griezmann in the bag.

    Yes they have £££ so can get whoever they want probably even without CL footie.

    Our new striker looks to be Morata and/or Rodrigues. Would prefer Sanchez but looks like he's going to Bayern.

    Yeah i wouldn't be too sad with Costa gone. He's great when hes on it. He's terrible when he's off. I didn't think it was too harsh on Michy making Hazard false 9 when Costa was out. Conte wants to win and we won both games convincingly when we did that.

    Is Sanchez going to get game time at Bayern.

    Robben was superb again this season. They have Costa Lewandowski, maybe they could off ribery?

    Yes it was right decision. Front 3 of Willian Peds and Haza worked well. Still felt sorry for BAts

    Costa is the best striker in the Premier League at being a **** ugly, whingy, money grabbing ****.

    Glad you like him so much. Please keep him.

    We're very happy with our consecutive golden boot winner!...

    When AC dropped Conte? That's an unusual move.

    I've got plenty of time for Conte, also being a Juve and Italy supporter so I was very disappointed that he ended up at Chelsea.

    You must be happy with Allegri though.

    Do you prefer him or Tonio?
