Helder Costa

Does anyone know what's going on with Helder Costa, is he injured or what ? He was playing so well for a while !

He was good for the first few games of the season and he’s been garbage since. Absolute defensive liability. Dosnt track back enough and soft in the tackle.
He’s not in the starting 11 because he’s not playing well enough at present

Like werb says, we took him from Wolves and their fans said straight away he's a good player but struggles confidence wise!..

Most wanted him to stay but he didn't play the way everybody knows he can consistently enough!..

He is good but it seems Bielsa sees it not enough for a permanent place!..

He's better than Poveda though who has shown no end product at all.

Costa was fairly good last season - he added pace and was involved in a decent amount of goals. If he was a £4-5million signing, you'd say it was a good deal.

But for £15 million, you want more. Take Harrison - he's been a great signing as a loan. But if we had paid £15million, we'd be less forgiving with some of his inconsistency.

Sorry to say we pulled your pants down with this one. I personally think he is done at the top level, he clearly has some psychological issues.

Played regularly to get us back to where we want to be. If he doesn't quite kick on then am still glad he came. Helped us win the league.

In helping us getting back to the Premier league 15mill isn't much!..

It's just a shame he isn't showing his true self because he has it in him, if anyone can bring it out than its Bielsa, but at the moment he's not breaking in on a regular basis so he's not showing Bielsa what he should be showing!..

If you had 15 million and had to buy Harrison or Costa, everyone is buying Jacky boy.

Exactly, but we can get him for 10, which is a bargain. Sometimes you overpay, sometimes you underpay. All that matters is where you end up.

yeah, transfer fees are not a science or process to follow, so many different factors.

wasn't so long ago people saying we overpaid for Bamford
