Diego Costa

He wanted out regardless of the manager. He'd done everything he was going to do here which was win two titles

Odd comment since he's never won the CL.

Atletico were on fire after Costa joined them, he continued scoring for fun with them. He repaid them in full for their confidence in him. And as a Chelsea striker, he was the best thing for us since Drogba. Who else if not him?
The grass was certainly"green" at both clubs during his prime, in fact bright green. Not to forget his contribution to his national team..wasn't he in the running for "Golden Boot" in 2018?
Regardless how many felt about him , lets keep the record straight.

12 la liga goals in ~ 3 seasons since rejoining Atletico, 19 in all competitions in that time period. I'd say the grass was much greener at Chelsea honestly!

Return to Atletico was a flop, there's no other way of looking at it. Tons of injuries, dumb suspensions (for being a tool), and general lack of quality.

Atletico first time around & at Chelsea he was a success, I didn't like him myself but I'm not gunna deny that, since leaving us however? Not so much.

He fell apart after Hendo made him.sh1t himself.

The sharp drop off was weird though. I dunno what happened to him.

If he was at any other club in the prem I would have detested him with every fiber of my being

That said despite his goals he still annoyed me silly...

Not odd at all actually, you need to brush up on your CL knowledge. Costa already played in a CL Final with Atletico. And during his time at Chelsea we didn't get close to the Final whereas Atletico got to another CL Final which they so nearly won. So if he was thinking about winning the CL then he had every reason to want a return to Leti.
