Hi eds and fellow blues taking the ill feeling out of the situation how do we see the Costa conundrum playing out.

He will NOT play for Chelsea again.
World Cup next year so he has to play for someone.
Assume that will be Athletico from January but before he plays for anyone Chelsea have to agree a suitable exit strategy.
Most fans now have a "who cares" approach to the subject as it's become very boring!
If Costa continues with his current stance then at some stage the club could take legal action against Costa for breach of contract. This might also include (if enough evidence exists) AM for inducement to breech a contract.
This would make Costa and maybe AM personally liable for damages including any transfer fee Chelsea might have reasonably expected.
