Lukaku is 21y old. I've seen a documentary on him and it was unseen how mature and professional he is for a guy of that age. He breeds football 24/7. Unlike most players that age he doensn't care about going out, fancy stuff or hitting a different supermodel every other week. The only thing he cares about is his family and becoming the best player possible. I have the feeling he loves Chelsea more than any other team on the planet but when he thinks its the best for his career to move, he will. What would you do? You played 2 great seasons and you know there is one player in the Squad(costa) that will always be higher in the picking order no mather what. One player who still gets and always will get more gametime because of his name, wage and a few very good seasons years ago. And one other decent striker. Jose should finally set things straight. Get rid of Torres asap. Let him go for free if necessary. Maybe take a young youth player in the squad but at least give romelu the feeling that he is 2nd striker. He proved himself in PL and with the national team. You say he must keep his mouth shut and show more respect for club and coach. I think respect works both ways. We know how stubborn jose can be and i fully understand lukaku doenst want to risk watching big games in the stands when he can play for atletico, juventus or Wolfsburg on weekly basis.

I strongly believen the belgian press is the main reason why Kevin didn't get the game time he deserved. They moaned so much about why he didn't play. Every press conference the same question clearly annoyed Jose and stubborn as he is he made a point by not selecting him. He is the coach and he decides who plays and who doesn't. Not the press.I'm still convinced he has all the qualities to be a starter at CFC but there are more players with the same qualities so Mou could bench him without having the team suffer from it.

I'm sure lukaku has no problems with starting as second or third striker next season. As long as Mou gives him the feeling he will get a fair chance. This season he didn't want to take the risk of playing 15minutes every 2 games or only in league cup just because its the world cup this summer and he didnt want to lose his spot in the national team. You can say the same thing about courtois and de bruyne actually.

Seriously?Before his head injury he was flawless in 99% of the games. After he clearly makes 5 to 10 pretty big mistakes every season. Mistakes that cost points and of which you expect your GK not to make them. Courtois should come back anyway. Former Dutch international keeper waterreus said it again on Dutch TV yesterday. According to him Courtois is already the best keeper in the world and he only gets better. Sure it would be nice to keep cech, who still is a more than decent GK and get a bag of cash for thibaut but we dont need extra money and a club like Chelsea should only settle for the best. And between the sticks its courtois for years to come.

Give luis a 10k fine everytime he comes naar a free kick. Fkng awful attempts and not just today.

Can't say we are doing it on a more honorabele way. Frank actually could have been off and we are waisting time sinds the 15th minute. I expect professional football Players to give at least once a game 3 or more good passes in a row.

We are playing like west ham at the bridge. Disgraceful.

this line up is what I was afraid for after the draw. Against bayern or real it could be a great game but against atletico it's going to be painful to watch.

So the only victim in this drama is thibaut courtois himself. He's such a great player he doesn't deserve all this bullshit. He deserves his semi final and we should be able to go to the finale with or without him in the atleti goal.

CAS or court of arbitration for sports is no civil procedure.Look at what they did to Sion a few years ago.

You cannot take UEFA to a civil court. Its against their rules to do that and they can and will exclude Chelsea and maybe even all other english clubs for next year European football if we do.

Ofcourse they Ofcourse they plannened it.They know there will be a lot of talking/scandal making about the courtois arrangement. Rather have it all in the semi than possibly overshadow their precious final.

Did he he just say we have to play at home first because there cant be footbal 2 evenings in a row in the city of Madrid?

the only reason for him staying is that no other team wants him or his ridiculous wage.

This x100 Cech still is a great keeper and one of the best in the league but I see a lot more mistakes than before. I might be a bit biased being belgian but i sincerely believe courtois is already a bit better.
