Costa you could argue is made to look better by our recent striker woes
-------------------------
Bar Suarez, Aguero and RVP. Name me an out and out striker with a record like Costa's. And it's not just his goals, his all round game is top draw.
Anyone saying Courtois and Costa are overrated need their heads checked.
Both world class.
---------------------------------------
You can't just exclude all the strikers in the league you know. We don't have much choice then. Jackson Martinez? 21 goals in 25 games. Unless your just naming PL strikers then obviously nobody that you have excluded because Costa is the best.

17 goals in 19 games, overrated. Hahahahaha tickle my belly and call me Susan! Wow. Suppose everybody's gotta be Messi or Ronaldo now, otherwise the appreciation goes down the toilet.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Not quite, but a club like ourselves you'd expect a Suarez or Aguero calibre player leading the attack. A striker who can make something out of nothing almost at their whim. Costa is very functional and fits our/Jose's methodology like a glove, the goals clearly indicate this, but he isn't in that top echelon of worldwide strikers.
I must confess struggling to work out how a player of his intelligence on the pitch couldn't kick start his career until the age of 23? With Drogba it was understandable given his skill set but not Costa.

Drogba had a great skill set............
Overrated / underrated by fans
