I know it won't happen but if we went and got Costa now I think we're title contenders I really do.
I think we could get him at a bargain price considering his and Chelsea position.
I know he wants Athletico Madrid but can't play till January for them so what about this
We sign Costa for say £30m he gets to play full season with a World Cup year coming up, we then sell him to madrid for the same price, everyone wins.
We get top player
Madrid get there man next season
Costa plays regular
Spain have him playing week in week out
And gives us a great chance to get champions league and able to attract replacement of an A list striker next summer.

Or another option is we negotiate with Madrid to sign him and loan to us for a year for a loan fee, lowers our risk, they have their player next summer when Griezmann leaves.
Pure fantasy football though.

Have you seen what this player is doing at the moment. Why would you go anywhere near him. He's disruptive, has a bad reputation in the dressing room and wants everything his own way. In what crazy world do you think he is what this TEAM needs?
You're as mad as him!

How about this. Probably the most realistic outcome.
We sign him from Chelsea for 30mil. He starts his first game. He's not working hard enough and Koeman tells him to up his game after 30 mins in the first half. Costa signals to be subbed because he doesn't like being told what to do. Costa walks down the tunnel gets in a cab down to liverpool airport and on a flight to Brazil and WE end up paying 330k a week until his dream move back to Madrid happens!

Love it imagine trying to get that deal done.

Or we sign him. He pisses everyone off, and then buggers off to Madrid. Can't see any flaws in this plan.
Seriously, great idea just can't see it happening though.
