Diego Would 'Costa' Fortune

News that long term Butch the Dog from The Sooty and Sweep show impersonator, Diego Costa, has had his contract with Atletico Madrid terminated by mutual agreement, means that fans up and down the country are screaming out for their clubs to take a serious look at the Ex-Chelsea hitman

Wolves could turn to 32 year old Costa as a replacement for injured Mexico forward Raul Jimenez, whereas Newcastle have been keeping a close eye on the Brazilian's availability as he becomes a free agent from January's the 1st 202, as is often the case, especially if a player is available on a free, West Ham have been linked with a move for Costa as well.

While Costa could definitely still do a job, even at the age of 32, the major stumbling block would be his wages, which were an eye watering £275,000 per week, although that dropped to an equally eye watering £165,000 per week as a result of the players taking a wage cut at Atletico in response to the devastating fiscal effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Unfortunately £165,000 per week is just too rich for the Irons, it is a pity though, because you know exactly what you are going to get with Costa, he can start a fight in an empty room and is the complete juxtaposition of Seb Haller as a striker. Perhaps David Moyes should sit Haller down, show him a Vid of Costa and say "This is the guy I might bring in to replace you, why can't YOU put yourself about like him, even for a quarter of a game?"

If Hammers were somehow able to 'bounce' Haller in January, then a move for Costa would most definitely be a prudent one, if only in the relative short term, the prospect of facing up to Costa and/or Antonio would be truly terrifying for opposition defenders and could help propel WEst Ham up to a comfortable position in the Barclays Premier League where fans will be looking up the table as opposed to down at the bottom.

Diego would 'costa' fortune, but compared with some of the money wasted by the club in the past, he looks good value! - Ed
