LukakutoStamford

The one gripe I have with the poster is that in the other posters the artist used the name in the language of the country. It should have been Les Diables Rouges or Rode Duivels.

He's just not that type of players whereas as Benteke is the opposite. Benteke is one of the better target men in world. He's #1 when it comes to winning aerial duels and his link up play at times can be sensational. Lukaku is great facing the goal in space and on the counter but he's relatively poor as a target man,

He's never going to be the striker some of you want him to be, but he's got a nose for goals which is something many strikers lack. It's really a trade off imo. I'd love for him to continue to develop his touch but touch is one of those things that you are born with and can hone but obviously you can't become Messi or Hazard just from training. I don't know that he has that high of a ceiling when it comes to touch.

Enough already there is no reason for Eden to go to PSG it would be a lateral move at best and I'd argue it's actually a downward move. La Ligue is nowhere near as popular as the PL plus Hazard has already won the double with Lille. At PSG he'd play in games that get far less viewers than those of the PL

50 mil for Luiz no wonder Chelsea can't get this deal done fast enough. Considering that Chelsea could probably get 2 very good CBs and have money left over it's a no brainer. Even at 30 mil it's a bargin for Chelsea

Would be a good move for him

Actually he turned 17 on May 7. Like I said he'll be ready for top sides at in 2 years. He is that good.

Muppets indeed ... Good lord unless you are a woman stop acting like one. How do some of you keep getting so wound up about this stuff? Last time I checked Courtois is paid to play GK not be a PR rep.

And Chelsea's defensive record is terrible? Let me guess Belgium had the best defensive record in World Cup Qualifying because they had the best defense and Courtois just made routine saves. Or Genk had the best defense in the Belgian League etc. Only so many teams can have have the best defensive set up. Maybe he's just been lucky each time.... Perhaps he doesn't need to make ridiculous saves all the time because his positioning is excellent. Nobody has suggested that Atletico doesn't have a good defense, but giving Courtois no credit is really asinine.

He doesn't need YouTube to make him look great. His trophies and 100 clean sheets by age 21 do all the talking. Oh but hey I'm must be defending Courtois because I'm Belgian. Nevermind the non-Belgians calling him the best keeper in the world. Cech is a legend but why would anyone keep him for 5 when you can get a GK at 22 who is top 5 in the world who probably 15 more years and hasn't reached his prime.

"It's not show friends it's show business"

Bruno is a very good talent but he needs 2 years at a higher lvl. Tielemans will be ready to play at the highest level in a year.

Tielemans wants to stay in Belgium until he graduates. The difference between him and Lukaku is that Tielemans game is based on technical skill and his ability to read the game. Doesn't mean that lacks these abilities but Tielemans is unparalleled in those attributes for someone his age. He'll be starting for Belgium for 2016 Euros and he'll get caps before then

Nostalgia leads to failure. Courtois has won just about every trophy. He was the fastest to 100 clean sheets. Cech is great GK but Courtois has the potential to become the best ever. Courtois just turned 22 he's not even in his prime. The best players are the best because they are ambitious. This is a no brainer decision

Going for the Pogba look I see

Lots of nonsense in this thread. Lukaku needed to leave as he was a 20 year old who needs minutes to get better. Why people think he should sit on the bench and play 500 minutes with crap forwards Chelsea had is beyond me. Now he has two 15+ goal PL seasons under his belt. Ideally he comes back and plays 2000 minutes with and for Costa or Chelsea sell him for 25 million quid. He's never going to confused with having world class ball control but he has a goal sniffer. Costa/Lukaku/3rd striker like a Villa type or a young talent

I'm sure he's also scouting Tielemans, Praet, etc.

Ugh not PSV. The Dutch league isn't much of a step up on the Jupiler. I hope he gets a loan to a better league

Don't lump them together based in age. Bakkali needs more time. Tielemans will be ready for top flight football at 18

Batshuayi will probably win POY T Hazard needs another year on loan in a better league than the Jupiler league hopefully the Bundesliga.

I think the 100 mil price tag scared them off

In: LB Rodriguez, CM Witsel/CM Vidal, CM Rakitic, RW Greizmann, ST Costa, ST Batshuayi ( for loan) Out: Cole, Lampard, Torres, Ba, Luiz, Ramires

You do realize that Hazard was joking about his wife wearing the pants, don't you?

I've now got 57,556 signatures on my change Chelsea to Hazard FC petition. The Home Uni would be yellow with a black edged triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.

It is silly but we're talking about young adults here. Clearly The original girl is a strumpet and Thibaut did KDB a favor. KDB has moved up in class and he's now got a smokeshow more befitting of a pro player. If KDB is still bitter he needs to man up. Not cool by Thibault but he just helped KDB realize that the girl was a ho.
