Summer and the bid was genuinely £80m?
Fellow Chelsea fans what would you want the club to do in the face of an offer like that?
But I'd be effin tempted!
Even if we couldn't get a like for like replacement.
If China come calling for Costa in the.....

Unless Costa was causing problems (in which case I'd snap their hands off) I'd never take the money. We'd need the same amount to replace him and I'd much rather have a guy who is established and does the bussiness, best striker in tfl league for me.
We could afford to bring in another top striker anyway and sell Costa at a later date if it suited.

We know that this is going to drag on and on ,not only with us ,but of course the press.
I think that realistically,we are going to lose him in the near future,summer at the latest.

I'd be gutted to lose him, because he'd be so hard to replace. But I don't think we will be able to keep him beyond this season.

All this talk but no one actually knows if he does want to leave yet!

I like Mark Lawrensons take on it ,"if he wants to go to China and be bored for 18 hrs a day ,good luck on that one" "the football is rubbish".

If Costa played in China it would be like playing with the kids three years below you at school.

I wouldn't be as devestated as some. Some goals this year have been unreal and totally his own doing but lets not forget playing with hazard pedro and fabregas at times must be a joy. Hazard takes 2/3 men away when he's on the pitch alone.

Obviously, we're not going to sell him in this transfer window, it would be a huge mistake going into the second part of the season with Bat's as the only recoginised striker, unless we find a suitable replacement for him Costa won't be sold

Flash, if we can't get as good or better, then whats the point? We have absolutely no need for money with the tv and Nike deals and no amount of money can make up for results going south.
Also what bragging rights will it give us as fans bar "our board get such good deals for players and mug other clubs off" ? Thats the exact type of small time mentality Spurs fans have.

What if he sees out his contract and leaves in 2019 ? OMG !!!!!
