Seeing as the club obviously see Diego Costa as the man to drive us forward in the Center forward position and he currently trains with (arguably) the best striker that our club has ever had. I was wondering, if you could- which of Drogbas best qualities, past or present would you like to see Costa pick up from the big man?
Costa has a lot of the natural fight/finishing that Didier has/had so I decided to go with a few options below:
1) distance shooting. Costa scored just one of his goals last season from outside of the penalty area, which is quite frankly baffling! Whereas Drogba always scored a few screamers a season.
2) defending at set pieces. This for me was one of my favourite Drogba qualities and one that I feel we have missed in the last 2 seasons. The guy saved countless chances each year with his defensive work in the box.
3) free kick style. Some love it, some hate it- but sometimes those free kicks are just impossible to stop ala Ronaldo and Luiz.
So which ones would you like or which other qualities would you suggest? For me it's the set piece defending, it's just a brilliant quality for a striker to have when you're under the cosh in a match.
If you could: Drogba/Costa

Oh OK well if you say it was a dive then it must have been a dive your highness.

jesus wept!!! you dont think it was ???

No I don't. Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville didn't either and I value their opinion over some Scottish random on the internet.

i dont get what you're trying to achieve though.
i dont think you're as unbiased and neutral as you like to make out
yesterday you said he will flop and he'll play badly against burnley and be subbed off
today its "burnley were always gna be a walkover and lets see how he does against the big team"
then you bring up his 'diving' just to stick the boot in even more as you couldnt deny he had a good game last night so you had to turn to the one incident involving him.
listen mate, if you just said "I dont like costa and i hope he fails", you could have saved us and yourself a lot of time instead of keeping up this false pretence that you are 100% neutral. You're not the only fan around who hope another team's players fail. We all do it.

This guy is a wum people, look how many comments he has got on this board. He's saying the keeper never touched him and people are actually responding to him! hes a clown and we should ignore him.

The diving aspect of his game wasnt just highlighted for the sake of it .
Its all part of his attibutes which i believe will make him a failure , which was the point
I did say i think he would get subbed having struggled , but i never really took into account the team you were playing against -
Look i have no false face - I have nothing against chelsea
I think you have a great squad - and in Matic (sp?) and Fabregas i think you have possibly the best midfield pairing in the league - both are superb in my eyes
I have no personal gripe with costa other than i think hes a one season wonder and doesnt merit the hype hes recieved

Hype ?? What hype ??
All we keep hearing from opposition fans like you is that he's going to flop and fail.
Also I don't see any Chelsea fans over-hyping Costa. Far from it. Most of us are just glad that we finally have a competent striker.
