Diego Costa

[Bacon Sandwich]

Strange I heard he sipped a mint tea, engaged in a philosophical discussion on the meaning of 'health' with a nurse, carried an old lady across the road and fingered a rosary throughout. Journalism eh.

Wondered what the hell was coming after "fingered..."

 

[dgm6769]

Wonder what number he will use seeing has his preferred ones are in use, read that he used 88 while on loan from braga
Good for a discount if he does go 88.

 

[Streathamwolf]

Is that an ITK opinion?

Definitely not, just a hunch.

When will we announce Costa?

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

Fantastic! Only two or three hours to wait and that new hotshot at The Athletic will announce it...

No, he will have to go on holiday for a week first.

 

[Glass ankles]

Welcome Diego

 

[Mutchy]

Any more and prepare for loss of posting permits folks…

 

[WickedWolfie]

When will we announce Costa?

Possibly not for a while given other current events.

Started a thread on OT for anyone to discuss what's happening. And avoid getting in trouble on this thread.

Good idea. There's similar bickering on the Liverpool prediction thread - you may want to post there too....

 

[the 15th Wanderer]

You don’t mean the 72 euafa finalists or the 73 FA cup semi finalist or the 74 league cup winners do you

I do. Nowhere near the champions of the world, 3 times league champions of the 50s as the older members of my family would tell me.

 

[colincameron]

Honestly this signing is worth it for me just for that interview of that fella outside the ground.

Old gold comedy that at its finest. Throw as many millions, 7th placed finishes, Jorge Mendes, europa runs at it.. Deep down that is Wolves and I love it and wouldn't change it for anything.

So so true. Love it. That will be watched by millions, but only WE know just how unnatural the words ‘I wasn’t aware’ were. Legend.

It's been closed already, its bad news tho just announced, I will probably be disrespectfully banned now for posting it

Just saw it. Whatever anyone's views on the monarchy they can surely wish a 96 year old woman to RIP.

 

[Mutchy]

There’s a thread in the news, current affairs, political forum.

Amazing

 

[Skrilla]

I would imagine they'll postpone the announcement of Costa till tomorrow now, no doubt some would take offense to it being announced now...

 

[Rhoswolf]

Wierdly, despite all logic excited by this signing.

Almost certainly, I'd say.

Going to be a fun signing

 

[Timberwolf]

“I wor…wasn’t aware…” really made me chuckle!

 

[JOSWolf]

Very understandably this wont be announced today.

 

[George AlooGobi]

I always thought he had a fake passport given the look of his face. He must be pushing 40 now by my reckoning

I'm still buzzing though

 

[Jayjaywolves]

Waiting until the morning would be the right thing to do.
A lot of upset fans tonight. Myself included.
a lifetime of service and dedication.
That should demand respect and only respect.

World Cup B

Portugal 3 Spain 3

If you had told me ( or thousands of Wolves fans that some ) 4 years later we would have Joao Moutinho and Diego Costa who scored 2 that day in the squad ( not forgetting the 3 wonderful seasons Wolves got out of Ruo Patricio in goal ) I would thought I had smoked some hullucinating inducing weed

 

[LythamWolf]

Wierdly, despite all logic excited by this signing.

Same here. Everything tells me he’s going to be a damp squib but we’re all in need of excitement and I think he’ll provide it be it good or bad.

All this pales into insignificance though when imaging you dressed as Wee Will Winkie

 

[chignalwolf]

What has Billy Wright got to do with Diego Costa?

OMG, you mean you don't know, come on keep up northnorfolkwolf

 

[wolfinexile]

I have two words for this signing--Grant Holt.

 

[Rhoswolf]

I have two words for this signing--Grant Holt.

Or Derek Dougan, whose signing was ridiculed by many at the time as a trouble making has been, my dad hated him..

Nail on head. Almost identical careers.

Good analogy Rhos. Only big difference between the 2 signings as I see it is the Doog was several years younger than Costa when he arrived. Having said that many posters on here have pointed out the ages of several top, top strikers still going strong. Hopefully once he gets up to speed he can provide the presence in the box we have so badly missed.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Won't be announced till tomorrow given the news

 

[Snarlingwolf]

How old is Jamie Vardy? 35!!

Just goes to show, like Moutinho, if you take care of your body/ fitness levels, you can keep going into your mid 30s.

At least with Costa we’ll at last have someone who will bust a gut to get in on the end of a cross into the area, rather than ball watch and get caught flat footed.

Surprised nobodies mentioned Sagbo or that bloke who scored all those goals for Swansea that we got on loan (and who's name escapes me)

Danny Graham.

 

[Fenrir_]

His first home game for us is gonna be against his old club isn't it?

Definitely getting the winner

 

[wolfinexile]

Wolves have signed a number of rubbish strikers over the years but Grant Holt is like Costa in that both were good (Costa obviously much better) but way past it when brought in by Wolves. There is not way that Costa is going to be any help to Wolves. Anyone who thinks differently is dreaming. We just have to hope that Raul can get back to some kind of form (maybe that is dreaming too).
