    Not necessarily. We might get a weak manager like klippery klopp who would ostracise Costa as he couldn't handle him and his unprofessionalism (see sahko).

    All hypothetical anyway, i acknowledged replacing costa with llorente is a bad move. Chelsea might be better off playing their mini marvels. We scored 10 goals in 3 matches in the PL without costa in the side.

    You don't have to be playing for a WFU to be called against you. Unlucky mate :)

    Thankfully we'd have another 9 players on the pitch.

    Nobody was scared of any of Leicester's players were they, but they won the league.

    Not if he doesn't want to be here. Also we won't necessarily be weaker, depends who we replace him with.

    Like i said we had no problems scoring when Costa was out of the side. Also getting rid of one of your better players doesn't necessarily mean a downturn in fortunes. United went onto be very successful after they sold their goal machine in Van Nistelrooy, Mourinho won Inter the treble after selling world class talent in Ibrahimovic

    Klopp doesn't like strikers.

    I will be more than happy to get into a gentlemans bet with you. Chelsea will finish higher than Arsenal with or without Costa in the team.

    I will take your Avatar for a month

    You were just banging on about how much weaker we'd be without Costa and how you've got a fine keeper/defence/midfield/strikeforce <laugh>

    If he replaces him with Llorente and that ends up a good move for Chelsea then he deserves every bit of credit. My point is that strikers like Costa are rare and usually unobtainable, strikers like Llorente are ten a penny and will always be available.

    If Conte wants Costa gone so badly, I'd have no problem taking him to United for £40m - you'll get no more than that because Conte has laid his hand out for all to see.

    So just to be clear is it:

    Your players that you don't have faith in or is it Wenger you don't have faith in to finish above us?

    If its the players is it specifically your GK, Defence, Midfield, Wingers, Strikers etc that you don't believe in?

    None of the above. If there's a danger that Chelsea finish below us, then you'll simply outspend us.
