Matt Law of the Telegraph has been saying it all this time and if there's one reporter I trust with news about Chelsea it's him. For a few weeks now I've been saying Lukaku deal wasn't as 'close' as many seemed to think because there were zero reliable reports of a transfer fee being agreed or even about negotiations taking place between the clubs but he was still a top target, no doubt about that. The board members were just too busy jerking each other off to do anything about it. He also said Luiz was not coming last summer, just before his transfer back to Chelsea. He has been wrong. He is more reliable than others if that is your point though. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like our board is doing the business in a clandestine manner or that they are just pissing Conte and waiting for his resignation ( hilarious isn't it?)

Not 100% sure but AFAIK, it hasn't. We could still match the bid I feel Considering we sold Oscar for the amount we sold him for and if *apparently* Conte really wants Lukaku then why are we acting cash-strapped?

True, I remember that. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt with Luiz deal, it was deadline day and everyone knows things can change really quickly on deadline transfers. But to say something consistently for a couple months it's most definitely a source inside the club telling him that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that they've bid as much as they have, our board is suddenly forced to make a decision on whether to match it and they themselves aren't sure if it's worth it for 76M pounds. Even though we are rich, even more so after the TV deal, the amounts being discussed are quite significant and taking into account that the club was maybe expecting to cash in big time on Costa before the Conte text incident happened, and now look set to lose a significant amount, maybe they want to think this over before throwing huge cash at Lukaku... At this point, nothing would surprise me. For all I know, I could wake up tomorrow and see that he officially signed for MU or that we matched the bid and we are getting him. I see both scenarios as equally likely Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard N Y Burgesson 139 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I am just so shocked to say the truth. Its as if CHelsea never won the EPL. I remind myself because what is happening to be honest is weird for it to happen to a League title holder. We are selling players like we finished at a mid table place. We can't get deals finished and as if we are chasing unrealistic targets like West Ham does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard N Y Burgesson 139 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 i know people have complained on this forum about why fans wish bad things for the club. I wish bad as well. it is needed. It like taking care of a child. Everytime you tell the child not to go close to the fire and everyday you pull him away. This goes on for so long until one day out of anger and frustration you watch the child go close and he places his hand into the fire and get burnt and you become satisfied because now you know that the child knows what will happen when he gets close and you can now have peace. That why i believe some of us wish bad for the club. Since chelsea have not suffered they will never change and that how life is. We get so comfortable doing things and until something bad happen we never change. I am a bit happy that this is happening. I read Man united will try to get Morata in addition and i hope they do. What hurts me is Conte will get fired like the others and i hope when he does every top coach we go for will decline and we will go for Roman's russian friend. It's so annoying when things repeat themselves but because we managed it and won the title we will stick to it. I really wish we go into the season with only Bats. There might be some benefits to even though we will likely not win the league we might see some Kids play and maybe break into the team. The frustration is just too much and no one wants to change the system so we will stick with it. I don't mind if we go through what Manunited have gone through for the past few seasons. I am chelsea through and through i will still be till the end of time. Good lessons for chelsea to learn but then again it will not happen cause we will sack 20 more managers but we will have the same board or financial system or what ever it is that is destroying us YorkshireBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku is overrated kid ! Well, Lukaku was top scorer in Belgium at the age of 16, then he scored 18 for West Brom, later he scored 50 goals for Everton in two seasons.. This things are so fucking common, they happen like every year. Totally overrated.

Some learn from life by going through hard times to come out nicely at the end. Its like refining gold. It goes through a lot to get that beauty. Others don't need to go through all that to learn from life. They just simply look at others and take a better decision. I don't think chelsea do that. Look if they do correct themselves fine but i am repeating this if we play the Community shield with our position at the moment i would not feel any remorse for the club when we don't get to play in Europe for the second time in 3yrs. That would certainly cause some shakeup to happen at the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
