Chelsea rumours appeared before this match. I wouldnt rule out his sale, but damn, last year at times he was unplayable for opposition. I still hope he can get this form back.
He really has has a mediocre season. Shame, he shouldn't be starting while he is playing like this but he should come on as a sub in almost every game ( as well as playing against weaker sides) to see if we can jumpstart him.
I think people are being a bit harsh on him. He's having a tough season but he has kept his head down and continued working. It wouldn't be cheap to replace him with a player of similar ability. I'd only sell him if he really pushes for a move.

its worth waiting, because on his form he is a world beater who tears defences apart. I know we all like Berna, but he never produced so much.
Costa last year and in the WC was a one man army and its definitely worth waiting for him to hit this form again.
Anyway for the time beign (when he is out of form) he should stick to the basics - dribble less and play for the team.
with who should we replace him then? Ronaldo-Mandzuking-Dybala and Chiesa-Kean-Bernardieci + Cuadrado looks good to me. but we still need another CM in addition to Ramses ofcourse, maybe even 2 if we sell someone

Chiesa should not be a priority. We don't need to replace him with anyone. We don't have to play with wingers, since they're inconsistent. Manduzkic and Dybala both aren't wingers, and Cuadrado is versatile and eclectic. Selling Costa might entail a change in formation, and that might actually be a good thing.

We can't keep ignoring our midfield issues. Khedira, Can, and possibly Bentancur aren't good enough to be starting midfielders for Juventus.

What about De Ligt? Our defense is comprised of Chiellini, Rugani, Brainfart Bonucci, a loanee, and a retiree. We definitely need upgrades there too. I think we sell Costa, get De Ligt, Ramsey, and Ndombele. Then, we can go after Chiesa a year later.
