Have we signed Diego Costa yet?

A cheeky little bid at least?

He's a bit of a ****. Although most of the best the strikers normally are. Chelsea getting Lukaku instead then? Seems a bit odd. In the short term, that's actually a backward step. Costa is a far more polished player than the big Belgian. For all the hype about Lukaku's power and aggression. His first touch doesn't match the levels of the best strikers yet. Which is why Chelsea offloaded him in the first place.

I suppose they think that unless they let him go now, they'll be stuck with him.

Lukaku makes sense really as, despite his weaknesses, he has shown he can score goals in the Premier League. I imagine that was also our thinking when we went after Jamie Vardy.
