    He's a winger and cost £1m more than Downing. What are people complaining about? <ok>

    A winger? He has been described as a strike by the press .

    From what I saw on youtube I'd say he is a wide forward, not a winger. Wingers play down the touch line. Costa goes narrow in to the box and even dead center, but often from a wide starting position. Like Aspas and Borini. But not a striker like a Torres style or Carroll style.

    I only want to know one statistic: what is his shots to goals ratio?

    Great minds, I thought the same, he gave Madrid a torrid time and was bossing Ramos around. So if we do get him, we will have to have bets on how long it takes for one of the opposing defenders to try and deck him.

    AS were pretty quick to squash this, wouldn't be surprised if someone jumped the gun and then everyone else followed.

    Good news as well is that if we do sign him, could mean that Coutinho gets more chances in the middle to work his magic <ok>

    Need a keeper as well. Cesar is on the market apparently.
