The most reliable source in Belgian Media (Het Nieuwsblad) comes up with this news: Romelu clearly told his manager he wants to join Chelsea He is in contact with Conte for a while now and both agreed on the deal already a month ago. Both expecting it would have been a done deal by now! As a matter a fact a transfer was ALMOST done last summer but a dispute between both owners blew the deal off last minute! Raoiola on the other hand, wants him to go to Man U: he got Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan & Pogba signing at Man U last season and now wants to bring in a new big deal. WHY? Because Man U are paying him big bucks as a commission salary! We pay far less! All the waiting of our excellent board , made this to the situation we are in right now! Just finish this deal of ****! PLAYER wants to be here, MANAGER wants him to be here => Perfect match!

Belgian Newspaper (reliable) reports that Chelsea and Romelu would have agreed on salary (€170.000/week)!

Here's an overview of all his 61 goals for Everton! Imagine there are still people on here who claim that his only strength is to run towards goal on a counter. Have a look at how many goals he makes in the 16 yard box. Exactly what we are missing at the moment! https://www.playsports.be/videozone/allecategorieen/premier-league/record-lukaku?vepE13_VID

Slowly but surely... he's getting here

Excuse me????!! TIBO!!!

Well you need a playmaker in front of them: like Cesc or even Eden! You just play them in a triangle with the point aiming up front!

He's like Kante with the strike from distance that we haven't seen here since Super Frank left! Are we even doubting this? Imaging what an astonishing midfield he & Kante would be!!! No one will be able to go straight through the middle :)!!! Sign him up!

I have only seen yesterday's first half. So I cannot judge on the second one... But I cannot understand people who are saying Hazard didn't show up, had an awful game, etc... If there would be any scouts in the stands, I'm 100% sure ALL of them would have written in their little notebooks: #10 of the blue team is very special. Because even in a 'terrible game from him': He's literally involved in ALL our attacks. He comes to look for the ball all over the pitch, even on our own half. He's the guy who speeds up the game with a little flick or diagonal pass. It might look that he slows down play because he chooses for the safe passes. But this is because he thinks way more quickly than all us together. Because if he sees an opening, he always passes diagonally, after which he normally makes a good run to receive the ball back. Not too many take on's yesterday, correct. However there were 9 Hull players behind the ball all the time... so it makes no sense to want him dribbling around 3-4 players all the time. He would literally lose the ball several times (he's not a robot) and then people would say he cannot go past defenders anymore :). Matic, Alonso, Kante, Moses (somewhat less) are all looking for him to break the dead lock. His only creative link-up options are Costa & Pedro (Fabregas if he's playing) => this is our main problem!!!! IMO yesterday was a difficult game because Hull was parking the bus... But more over because almost every creative spark depends on Eden (or Costa)!! The rest of the team is just passing around and looking for them. The bottle neck in Build up yesterday for me was Alonso. A lot of fluent attacks ended with him getting stuck. Also his crosses never reached target in the 1st half. You could blame the other for not being in the 16 yard box... but I think a player should know NOT to cross when only Diego is in a box together with 6 Tigers!! So when we are dissapointed with a game like this from Eden... when ALL scouts would put him in there booklet. We just have to realize that we are so spoiled!!!! I think we will only realize once Eden is not on our pitch anymore. And if he would ever play at Barcelona (for example)... I'm afraid we will see him at full potential in creativity and our jaws will drop down again! Until then... cherish the fact we have Eden Hazard playing in our Chelsea kit !!! Because OH MY he will be missed so much once he would be gone!

The fine art of the Ninja tackle!

Carrasco's manager, Christophe Henrotay, confirmed that 2 clubs apparently bid the €100 million that is set in his contract as a release clause. Both Man United and we are named as having placed the bid! Interesting to see how this evolves in the coming days...

I think we should give this another try. Conte clearly is a big fan and he knows what he's doing. Radja on our midfield means bringing in a warrior. This would be a great extra for our attacking department. With a warrior behind you... you know you can focus on what you do best: attacking! Not only is Radja running all over the pitch to regain possession (with his famous tackles)... He also has the stamina to attack in every game! With his amazing technique he also scores stunners from outside the box in like at least 1 out of 10 games! Bring him in :)! AS Roma coach Luciano Spalletti lavished praise on midfielder Radja Nainggolan, describing the Belgian as a thoroughbred after his two-goal performance in the 4-0 win over Sampdoria. "He's on another level – a great player who can play anywhere you put him," Spalletti told reporters after Thursday's Coppa Italia round of 16 tie. "He needs space though because that's when he really comes into his element. If you pen him in, he finds it harder. When he's able to play on instinct, he becomes a real handful. Nainggolan has been the driving force in midfield this season, leading Roma to second in the Serie A table, one point behind leaders Juventus. His first effort against Sampdoria was one of the best goals of the season in Italy as he met a misplaced clearance with a first-time volley which dipped wickedly into the net. http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-italy-rom-idUKKBN1540VJ

If Bats is playing selfish and struggles ... this is due to the situation! Conte absolutely didn't do him any justice by not playing him when Costa was suspended! He's a very good player but indeed, shouldn't be the lone ST. Need him to play in attack as the 2nd striker to play him best.

Check this out: one month ago in the WC qualifier against Estonia. I can tell you that it was intentional

Oh yeah he also humiliated Hart with that last goal!! World Class. Check it our from 5.00min in the highlights!

Started his topic in October 2011 but it is locked now Back then he was a steal... now you will pay a good amount of cash for him. Just scored 4 goals in his today game against Torino. That makes 7 goals in 2 games & back to back hattricks in the Serie A. He's a perfect false 9 and has a very good link up with Eden! Am I the only one that would still go for him?

Nothing to worry about!

The brothers united on the pitch! Soon in darker blue?

WTF is wrong with you M? You act like he F**** your girl instead of De Bruyne's

doing the interviews!

As you see... he's not bad at all. But certainly a long way from the level of his brother!! So don't get too excited that quickly. IMO he will never reach the level...

It seems that he spends too much time on the toilet with social media! Time that he should better spent on passing, so he can have a better rating in Fifa18...

March 2016 He and Ibrahima Cissé were banned for 6 months from the Belgium U21 National team for smuggling call girls inside the players hotel November 2015: He & Abdelaziz Barrada were caught fighting in training Michy thought the media were hyping this item... his reply on twitter was great (round 2, we are ready!)

I never said he's far better than De Gea. I just said he will regain his status as 'one of the best' GK's in this world really shortly after moving to another club like Madrid, ... There is not a single doubt about that IMO. So fair enough people are fed up with him. Blaming him for a lack of determination on the pitch, too much talking off the pitch, ... But in the end, this will (once again) return as a boomerang in our face! The good thing about his story is that he'll probably does end up in Spain again eventually ... wouldn't want to see another Ex-chelsea player shining for one of our competitors!!!!

I hope you guys realize that when he leaves us for another club, with something that you can actually call a defense in front of him, he will continue his form as 'one of the best GK's in the world'! There is absolutely no doubt about that! He looked amazing at Genk, outstanding in Madrid, is ultra solid for our Belgian National Team... and very very very average with us here at Chelsea. You do the math! ps: yeah I agree he talks a lot. He's also one of the only ones to do this in our national team af well. At one end... this is rather irritating, at the other end: at least he's honest and you know what's going on behind closed doors.
