Bad chest infection has confined him to bed for the last 2 weeks.

What a pussy!

We could get rich to take a look at him?

Cant be worse than our usual guys :-)

They'd have nowhere to breed their leaches if they did that.

About the spitting and pinching i am thinking more suarez with less teeth.

Van nistelrooy might punch you in the chest or rake his studs down your shin, or kick you in the back as you fall from an aerial challenge. I never saw him pinch and scratch though.

But then he had the ferguson immunity, i suppose costa has to improvise :-)

[Monty91]

and this obviously makes him a massive arsehole.

But there is something to admire in his ability to ride the line so well. That he has not been sent off in 40 games is remarkable.

His aggressive pat on Gabriel's chest was the best part for me. Such a clever way to antagonise an opponent without any risk of getting into trouble yourself.

I understand though that he and Costa have a little bit history from their days in Spain.
