Dixie Dean, the Everton striker who scored 60 goals in the 1927-28 First Division season, was once asked whether his record would ever be broken. 'I think it will,' the Englishman reportedly said. 'But there's only one man who'll do it. That's the fellow that walks on the water. I think he's about the only one.' Eighty-six years on, though, and Chelsea striker Diego Costa is on course to surpassing that tally, having already scored seven goals in his first four games. At that scoring rate, the 25-year-old is scheduled to end the season on 66 goals. Diego Costa celebrates one of his three strikes for Chelsea against Swansea on Saturday

The team was built in a way that we were waiting for a certain type of striker and I think now everybody knows that @placeholder did the right thing in waiting for him and not going into the market in the summer of 2013 or January.
