what i like about lukaku's goals are the fact that he goes solo on 40% of his goals but still fights of every one to score. Costa did it like twice against Mancity and west brom. Unfortunately for lukaku the guy who was assisting him often at the beginning of the season, Bolasie got injured in November if not i am certain he would have beaten Kane to the Golden boot. Lucky for Costa, there were no major injuries to the likes of hazard to affect his goal scoring. Like i said Costa scored goals because of the amount of service he got even lukaku didnt get half of.those. After all the system we played was because af the players we had. I would be expecting a 3-5-2 next season.

If costa was put in the everton team would he even be able to get 15 goals. I bet you not. This guy could have scored 30+ goals this season because not striker in the league was getting the amount of chances he was getting. If harry kane was playing for us i bet he would have broken the record for goals in a season. Costa is alright but for the service that recieves, he is poor. Look at the game against Palace last season the one we lost. That was the match that convinced me this would be his last season. I could count up to about 15 crosses into the box and even the goals he likes to score most(tap ins) he couldn,t even do that.

This person thinks and writes like someone between the ages of 11-15. SO you are telling you are certainly taking this bs as the truth.

we can't afford to let Conte go.He is just getting started by clearing out weight we don't need

you will know why next season if mbappe does what he did this season again next season and is rated above messi. messi is 30yrs while mbappe (19), Alli(20), Kane(24), Neymar(24) but are all playing like players in their prime. Messi has about 4-6yrs of top level football left while the others have 11-16yrs of top level football left. **that is if all are to stop playing football at 35-36yrs** Messi right now can only go in a downward tragectory while the others can only get better. This same concept is used in the FIFA game where as a player gets to 30yrs his value goes down. Next year expect messi to drop further down the list. Just take a look at CR7 the ballon dor holder and ask y he is there? Sports in general age counts for alot as well

that is a team issue. I barca loose out in the champions league it doesnt affect neymar does it? lets not forget that Alli has been consistent in the last 2 seasons while hazard has not.

But good performance in the CL adds magnificent value

If i were the owner of chelsea i would sell him of for 1$ to any team who want him just out of anger so that we can move on. The guy is just spoiling 3yrs of convincing me in 1 week.

yea because of his age and performance. i really admire him. No one would even attempt to try and bid for him because we all no it is impossible. Delle Alli plays like a player in his prime but he is just 22 if am right. CHelsea beed a guy likehim but no one says it because we will virtually have to sell all the 30+ players on loan just to buy him. Hazard has to be in the CL to get more valuable

this was just published buy CIES Football Observatory Report. The research group calculates values by the performance of players and their clubs in Europe's top five leagues, international status, contract, age and position. This is the craziest thing i have seen all year.

i bet you that is the same thing solanke will do to us. as a matter of fact i would rub it right in so you will see the mistake you committed. At least if chelsea had inserted a buy back clause he would have had the idea that we do care but no like we did to others(de bruyne, solanke, ryan bertrand) go f**k yourself is what we told them.I love this club but they deserve what is coming for them. I dont know who invented this system they use. We are just creating haters for ourselve but world class players for others. Why don't we use the barca youth system where the kids are not forced to believe they have a place in the team, they are just there to learn how to play football their way.

i totally agree. 100% Even the ones at tottenham will be so overpriced. Why can't english teams work together to help the nation. look at stones he has talent alright. chelsea approach everton and they slap a 50m clause on him and because they dont care about the player's career they put what ever price they want on him.So instead of coming to chelsea to be groomed by the likes of John terry and cahill and azpili which would be good for him and therefore England as well he goes to Mancity and lets face the facts apart from kompany, have no good defence to study from and get experience. The FA must do something about this prices to help everyone after all how far can these good english players go with the small teams they are in. Look at van dijk, great defender bright future. i can see him replace any CB at real or barca cause that is how good he is but instead no one will buy him and he will end up with a recked career. If ake is to get alot of playing time at chelsea he might even force van dijk out of the Holland national team but its england all we care for is the money

A man united fan told me that we should be greatful for getting lukaku for 80m pounds because they sold pogba for free and it cost them 89m while we sold lukaku for 28m so technically we are getting him gor 51m. Crazy how some people think that chelsea has that kind of confidence after the Torres issue to pay that much money

they will not face any penalty. I think thats why they released others and inted to sell others. it the same with chelsea the only difference is chelsea makes profit from it but city dont. We sell players who have been loaned to 3-4 team so with that experience they become valuable. we buy players on thecheap and sell on the high but city buy expense players and when they are sitting on the bench their value drops and the get sold. Example bertrand traore cost chelsea nothing but are asking for nothing less than 20m euros. City got nolito for 13m pounds less how much he will go for

btw i dont think you read what you wrote. What does chelsea need, someone to score more than 20 goal per season which costa doesnt do. Now how can you say bringing someone who would get us the goals doesn't improve the team us a whole. Look at ibrahimovic that guy is so shitty with be ball at his feet worst than lukaku but nobody talks about it because he still scores the goals. He is so poor at link up play and can't control the ball unless it is in the air. So lets not act as if lukaku is that bad. Yes he does not warrant the price being asked but is good enough. The two seasons in which costa scored 20 goals in the EPL we won the tilte so if we can get someone who will give us 25 or more then we are even likely to get a double anytime we win the EPL. Costa was never good at adding to the team except scoring that is why when he was scoring not too many complained because its his job to score but when you stop doing your job and doing other things you become useless to the team. ibrah was shitty on many occassions in the league but he scored that one goal or two to shut people up. the only diff is he never complained of returning to france or going to china

to say the truth majority of the players in England are average. Those we get leave for better teams like Real Madrid honestly. MAN U= rojo pogba mhki jones smalling rashford( when i look at other around his age out there) fellaini............. MANCITY= otamedi yaya sterling(to some level) nolito fernando and dinho ............ Arsenal = apart from Sanchez and let me add Ozil for the benefit of the dou Tottenham= At the moment i can say they have a good first team but their dept is below average CHELSEA= Matic moses alonso(he can't even get into the national team) i feel like i should add Cahill as well LIVERPOOL= Matip clyne can milner Both keepers and the bench our preety average All these players are big in England but how many would attract serious attention globally( meaning world eleven status) People might not agree but that thow i feel so we should talk as though any of the strikers we are chasing are that great. If you want great= Auba, carvani, suarez, lewandowski kane dybala griezmann mbappe sanchez aguero............. People who are actually part of europes TOP 5 leagues goal scorers charts

Dont compare the bundesliga to the epl ever again. there is no competition there. Even tottenhem can win the league 4times on the bounce there.

Chelsea really do not need any attacking players apart from the striker. When i compare out wingers to other ones teams have. they are better than them in terms of performance. The problem is our midfield actually. When you look at the games we lost against the TOP 5 teams in the league, we lost because we didnt control the midfield against Tottenham especially and the two liverpool games even though we drew the second game. Our attack is great but its the midfield thats the problem. We have kante who is great in winning the ball back but lacks the attacking edge, we have fabregas who lack the stamina, we have matic who give us the egde in aerial duels but abit average if thats the word to use. It is difficult to explain him cause he can be so shitty and yet one of the best DM's in the world. Okay inconsistent is the word. Whay we need is to win the battles in the midfield like wanyama and dembele of tottenham do. For me they were the best midfield pair last season and i did envy tottenham for that actually. Both had height advantage, one was abit of a playmaker, good at taking on others and great at keeping possession(dembele) while the other was good at winning the ball back for the team and was defensively solid for the team(wanyama). They both had the stamina to run all over the midfield. Thats what we need. What we have is good but not good enough. We have kante who is good at verything a dm is supposed to be good at but he lacked the height which is not his fault. He was also good with counter-attacking but who he was paired with was always the problem. When we played with matic we were to defensive and there was next to know creativity at the midfield. He was also too slow to react to situations like Eriksens crosses to Alli when we lost to Tottenham. Fabregas is great but he has a range of matches he can play in but not all. He is a great tatical play for Conte. He is just not atletic enough so too much load is put on Kante. Who we need is Bakayoko and/or Tolliso or Vidal or Naingollan or anybody who fits the bill to be creative and strong and energetic tt play with kante so that we can have our full attacking players concentrate on their duties andnot track often.

Can anyone tell me if tolisso has been sighed by bayern

i dont mind what is going on really. I am just happy i dont get to watch costa fall flat on his ass week in week out.

Nope your mistaken. He has done this every summer but this season he crossed the line. He did it at the beginning, the middle and the end

Damn that chant really pissed me of but for the irony of it sometime made me laugh especially when he falls flat on his ass and expects a foul.

look at the kind of team mates he has at everton. The people who say he is bad at link up play, if you watch this very well you would see that he always has to give commands to his team mates to make the runs which is very frustrating for him. It seems like everton rely on him too much so when they get the ball out of defence and give the ball to him, they act as if their jobs are done so they leave everything from there to him. if you watch arsenal aswell, when they give the ball to sanchez they act like their job is done so they just watch him go alone and suffer the rest of the way to the goal. Do you think lukaku would have the same issue with pedro hazard fabregas willian or even kante and alonso? I don't think so.

atletico knew they had a ban but are still trying to make lacazette ready for that move. the ban stops them from registering new players but doesn't stop them from making the deals set and wait for the ban before registering them. its like how the window is not opened but players already know where they are headed but just waiting for the date to be registered as players of those teams. Do you think if he went back he would be the main man. Infact it was only chelsea where we had no one that he became a main strike but in atletico apart from the season that made us sign him he was always a supporting strike to Falcao
