kiwi1691 255 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Interesting opionion from an Everton supporter on the shedend forum Quote Andy Hunter, who covers Everton matters closely for the Guardian and is based in Liverpool, insists that we haven't even received a single bid from you for Lukaku. He's very well informed and cautious, and doesn't normally print something like that without being quite certain. Personally, I'm inclined to believe him over the Mail, Express and Evening Standard, none of whom have any quotes or substance backing their articles.  I know there's mixed opinion on here about paying somewhere in the £60-75m range for an ex-player that you sold, and also because a number of you just don't rate him that highly for the level you require, which is perfectly understandable. A number of our fans would agree with you (although the majority would prefer to keep him, I think, which is also my view). He's a very good player on his day, he does score goals and would get 20+ a season but as we all know he does have some limitations.  Anyway, I'm mainly posting just to say, I don't think we'll be selling him. Stones to City is pretty much a done deal, and I don't think we'll sell both.  Symbol123, Fernando and The Chels 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted August 2, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted August 2, 2016 Crazy amount of sheer experts in this thread. Makes me wonder when will top clubs start to approach some of you since your scouting knowledge is so vast and you can predict a player's trajectory only by watching shitty streams and match highlights. Conte wanted him once, wants him again, Lukaku is a Chelsea fan, wants to come back to the club and play for Conte. What is wrong with that? He's just turned 23 and is probably 4-5 years away from hitting his peak. All this while scoring for fun at this age. And it's not only about goals, but he's even assisted more goals than our supposed playmaker, the untouchable Oscar. And some of you still think Oscar should be given ANOTHER season to prove his worth, while Lukaku is bashed from the start because of his poor touch and gestures lol...

Fulham Broadway 17,317 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 If we end up signing Lukaku for £60m, we'd have spent the money it would have cost to sign John Stones on buying him and Matic back rather than just keeping them.

He will score goals yes, but will that make up for the sheer amount of attacks that will break down at his feet? If Lukaku scores 20 goals it will more than make up for the amount of times he loses the ball. Lets face it, its rare an out and out striker is heavily involved in the build up play. A strikers main objective is to finish any move created, he should get the last touch. Only time we will rely on him to be involved in a move is if we play more direct in which case he will have to hold up the ball. With a two striker system I'm not bothered with Lukaku as the out and out 9. And to be quite frank about it, what was lacking here last season is the passion for the badge. We need to be welcoming people who are passionate about Chelsea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warming to it more and more. Thing is, we'd still need another striker if we essentially swap Lukaku for Costa. Assuming we're keeping Remy (been zero indication or links away that I've seen). Unless Conte feels completely confident in Traore. You're not the only one. I want those who are passionate about the club! Lukaku has his warts but he wants to be here and that is more than enough for me! Especially since he's homegrown and scores loads of goals!

Even Van Nisselroy leaving United helped them go up a level. Infact there is even an argument that Ronaldo's presence holds back Madrid despite his goals, as he often is invisible these days until he pops up and if he doesn't, his games are often rated as shockers.

Gomez left because he took 1 chance out of every 5Â created for him, it had nothing to do with his touch. He was a beast against small teams and a mouse against big clubs. I don't see why you're talking about Gomez though, Lukaku and Gomez aren't even close in comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate wanting to leave  when he only had to fight for a starting spot with Torres and Eto'o... Lukaku is a decent player,  but nowhere near worth the amount mentioned. He probably could do an ok job here but the way he was crying in the media etc left a bad taste for me. Rather we did what we could to keep Costa who imo is a much better player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray 9,441 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I've seen more than enough to conclude most of the Belgian fans are extremely defensive regarding any Belgian player who is not worshiped here. Take a look at the old pages from here, Courtois after his ambiguous comments at the end of the season or the De Bruyne thread. If you felt insulted, I'm sorry wasn't my intention but I'm extremely sick of this ass kissing by some mostly being Belgians and maybe that Oscar fanboy can't remember his name. Ow come of it. What a generalisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Genuinely don't want this deal to go through. Not that I hate Lukaku or don't rate him, just the money involved is ridiculous and most importantly I think it's got a negative effect on Michy who I absolutely adore and rate highly. mccg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
