Chelsea match Man Utd's £75m transfer bid for Romelu Lukaku http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/10941160/chelsea-match-man-utds-163-75m-transfer-bid-for-romelu-lukaku

I think it all fell apart when Costa didn't respect Conte after knowing that the Chinese club came for him. Remember how he refused to train? well can't blame Conte for that. Conte is the boss he probably doesnt want to deal with the fact that he has a player who refuses to cooperate at the crucial junction in our title race again, nothing wrong about that. Even if we did have Costa I think we need a/another top striker to compete in all competitions. It would be a stroke of genius if Conte can defend the title this season judging by how our transfer market is going( I know it is a little early but still). There isn't a sense of urgency shown from our club. Really hope that Lukaku wasn't in our radar and it was just a fantasy story cooked by some journalists to get viewership.

where exactly did you find that? I dont find it anywhere on skysports

Now that is something we as fans and the board will end up doing.

Youth needs the right kind of development so that they can turn into something of a value for us. We wont get wonderkids by loaning them out to lower division teams. If we want them to play in PL/CL level then we need to train/develop them in that direction. It is a lost cause to have any expectation that someone from the academy would make it to starting 11.

It could be rough when you are thinking we got a striker all along and bam some thing like this happens. Looks like our board is doing the business in a clandestine manner or that they are just pissing Conte and waiting for his resignation ( hilarious isn't it?)

Wow interesting that Mourinho kicks him out of Chelsea and then a year later goes behind him.

It will be very interesting to see Lukaku go to United after what Mourinho did to him at Chelsea. I mean it was his fault that he isn't with us in the first place.

It is going to be really hard to see him play for Villa but guess that is life, was gutted to see Lampard play for city can't take legends playing for any other team in the PL. Guess Drogba was true legend in that respect. Every other legend looked to someother club in PL (not blaming them here just stating the fact)

Sad to see him go but glad he will be able to showcase his talents and grow them at Bournemouth. Wish him all the success.

really hope that is the reason why we are delaying the announcements.

We are only seeing exits the club better have their check books wide open, selling before buying *sighs* We never learn do we?

ahh! that makes sense.

why is it taking so long for us to get our kits this season? is it because of the transition to Nike? I remember this one season where the players actually wore the new kit on the last match of the season.

I actually love both, but like away way more.

oops I knew he was a CM but when I did a search for someother striker and Google suggested Tolisso I thought maybe I was wrong. I guess i mistook the suggestion to mean something else.

What kind of madness is this?? give the man what he wants and let him rebuild chelsea. But if he doesnt get the players he wants I would be more than happy to see him go. I dont want him to have a bad exit at Chelsea, I want him to be the hero we didn't deserve. Are we the only club that haven't signed any player yet? I know we like to do business late but we also wont have the right kind of players to do business with.

I think there was some interest from us but we weren't too serious? for the price that Bayern got him I think it was a bad miss for us given that our options for strikers in the market isn't all too great. Tolisso would have made a great addition ( assuming the Lukaku is coming to Chelsea) If not we are seriously in trouble with Costa hitting the exit doors and we don't have a reliable striker.

he said players like Tolisso not necessarily Tolliso

he has been nothing short of unprofessional this season. This just caps it! It is such a shame that a player of his caliber would resort to something like this, what baffles me is wouldn't his representative stop him from acting like this?
