Essien19 1,415 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'm not his biggest fan, but 23 years of age and banging them season after season, which club particularly doesn't matter. He's constantly talking, bigging himself up, but he's harmless, if he steps out on the pitch i think he'll always give his all, not as difficult as Diego to handle, imo. I prefer him over Morata, who just has his flaws like scoring actual goals...the striker market has been dry for quite some time... killer1257, Fulham Broadway, Unionjack and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 In all the controversy when it comes to Lukaku-Chelsea, it's often easy to forget that at the age of 23 he's got over 100 professional goals. That alone deserves a lot of credit and we can say what we want about his overall play, first touch, etc but you can't deny that he knows how to score goals and in a market where strikers are a dime a dozen it's what's needed. Now he's clearly not worth the £50-60m that's being talked about, but this is the reality of the transfer market now. Once Pogba is confirmed, price inflation will increase even more. Clubs are getting more desperate now, just look how West Ham have been knocked back by Michy, Lacazette & Bacca so now they're looking and Ayew . We would be incredibly stupid to sell Costa, but if he truly wants to go then go he will. I don't think we have any other options after Lukaku and if we're going to sign him then now would be the time to do it. Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 If someone told me we'd be signing a player for (at least) £60m at the start of the transfer window, I'd be pretty damn excited. But Lukaku? How disappointing. Please no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so sick of these Lukaku links because there has to be some truth to it. 50m+ for a player you're unsure is ever going to control the ball properly. How can you build a fluid and consistent attacking team around such an erratic footballer? Marcelo is a better football and attacker than damn near our entire attacking midfielders and strikers. A LB! Embarrassing. kellzfresh, Blue-in-me-Veins, The Chels and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They surely surely must be in discussion with Conte, because it's his tactics that are going to be out on the pitch and so the players that come in have to identify with those same tactics. Then again, this window's gone to show what's been the worst kept secret in football. Agents are running the game. They're the ones who decide who/what/where a player goes to/from, these super agents especially are having their best period of business. People like Raiola who are making United pay him £20m for his services in acquiring Pogba. Funnily enough the same Raiola is also Lukaku's agent. Chelsea Legend 11 and Fulham Broadway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chels 2,502 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016  In this case I'm glad we didn't put one in, but why does the club care so little for buy-back clauses? Anyway one of the best transfers in Mourinho's second spell here was IMO the sale of Lukaku. Let us not reverse this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're at a club with a billionaire owner and you NEED and DEMAND a player like Lukaku (at seemingly any cost) then please leave. A player with the first touch of a cripple. Just fuggedabouit.

Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I've changed a little. His attitude towards returning to Chelsea seems like a burning desire of unfinished business to do. I actually like that. 25 goals last season for average Everton also suggests the boy can play a bit.

Think it's more of a burning desire to play at a top team and Chelsea are the only ones stupid enough to pay crazy money for a limited footballer.

Popular Post! Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted July 31, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted July 31, 2016 He can hold a ball now, massive improvement on the Lukaku that left. I think he has his best years ahead of him and if we get the flanks right he could be the Chelsea superstar like in his childhood dreams I don't give a toss about what CFC cough up for players bar passing comments. They take in masses so I'd expect them to splash out. We pay OTT for shirts, tickets etc so what a club uses for players is just an extension of the OTT prices for football. I also get a big feeling that Lukaku actually wants to play for Chelsea far more than Costa does.
