MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Don't worry, we will sign some young striker from Porto in a couple of years from now or Atletico Madrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParNolio7 285 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yes because Mourinho has made some awful purchases hasn't he? Eto'o, Drogba ... not over the moon with his striker transers, no.Costa had a great season at Atletico, but is not exactly a "refined technical striker" they way we (most of us) like to see it either.Hope it goes well, but wouldn't be surprisef if crowd starts booing after few dodgy performances!

Styles 9,790 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It did lighten up my mood temporarily, but then the realisation that he might be 2nd choice here set in.If that doesn't convince Jose to buy a striker I don't know what will.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Remy has a heart problem, that's why he failed his medical. Besides, Lukaku is better than him. Debatable. I don't think Lukaku has done anything better than Remy has in the PL. If you say he has the potential to be better than Remy, that's different.

Viper22 2,418 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Lavezzi is not a striker. Ffs will people stop suggesting that. If you're going to play a winger at striker then we already have Schurrle. A team competing for the title does not play people out of position for a whole season.Our best option would be Remy for £8.5M, but only if those heart problems that were rumoured to be the reason Liverpool bolted are not true or exaggerated.If not Remy, then Bony, Jay Rodriguez or Javier Hernandez, depending on the price of each of them, would all be great acquisitions for 2nd choice. All are better than Lukaku and with a better attitude. AND they'd be cheaper.

Popular Post! Stats 7,142 Posted July 30, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 30, 2014 He has scored over 30 goals in the last 2 seasons and he is only 21. Of course it will be worth the money. Costa was playing in the Segunda division at the age of 21 while Lukaku is playing in the Prem. He is going to get better and will prove over time that he is worth the fee. He managed to get 17 league goals at a much inferior team like WBA at the age of 19 and 15 league goals at Everton so if you look at the trend he most likely will keep on scoring and while he improves on his strengths he will work on his flaws. It is understandable why Everton would pay a lot for him. We bought him for £18m and sold him. Same thing that will probably happen to Kalas and Pasalic even if they have good loans because that is just what we seem to do.Like I was saying before, Costa at 21 was playing in the Segunda division in Spain and his goal return was not even that good considering he started over 30 games but with time he improved. People probably did not even rate Costa that much then. But the same way some people are stating that Sturridge isa complete striker because of his form now, I can guarantee some of them were saying when Sturridge was here that it was a good choice we sold him. He was selfish etc, too much mouth and one-dimensional but because he has proved to be one of the best strikers in Europe some people say it is uncomparable to Lukaku but hardly any strikers have shown what Lukaku has done at his age so when people say he is 'overrated', 'not that good', 'won't improve', I just think what a load of bullshit.He basically has gone out on loan and done what has been asked of him. He was not excellent out on loan but he was very good and performed but guess what we sell him. Logic?... But that's what we do. We will buy but never give the young talent a chance. We really don't do much to prove that this is not 'the graveyard for young talent'.It might sound bitter but I just speak the truth how I see it. If I was another team's fan such as United you can actually be happy for your loanees to do well but at us I don't get the point in celebrating when our loanees do well at other clubs when the likelihood is even if they do there best to impress out on loan, we will sell them.

(MMW)Eto'o was our best striker last season. Without him god knows where we would have finished. I wish he could've stayed on this year tbh as something different to Costa.As for Drogba, one of our best ever players in his first spell here, and hasn't played a game yet in his second spell? Don't judge him before he's played, that's moronic. chillerz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Lol, calm down guys. I don't think we're gonna sign another striker, unless we sold Torres, which is very unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to bash the club because you're so enamoured with this player that you ignore these basic facts. Mourinho is a winner. He demands a certain level of commitment from his players. Lukaku FAILED to live up to that. He will never succeed. Try and get your head around that. sherry33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His world cup performances were as piss poor as his good performances for Everton, and while I think he could improve to one day be good enough to lead the line for Chelsea, he isn't atm.Also, this graveyard of young talent has Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle, Willian, Salah, Christensen, Ake, Azpilicueta, Costa, Lukaku and Courtois in our first team squad and they're all under 26. We have more young talent than most other teams in Europe. If you;re talking about young talent promoted from the youth that's a whole different story, but one that isn't relevant here as Lukaku didn't come through our youth system either.

The point is that he is very good as a striker and will fit our style of play recently. There were also rumours we wanted to sign him, so that's why he is being suggested.It's amazing how Lukaku has turned to shit so quickly. Jay Rodriguez better than Lukaku?

I also know that he said he wants to play CL next season, that it's a must, that it's what great players like Rooney and Ronaldo did.Oh wait, didn't you know that Everton aren't in the Champions League next season? Oops.Yes please... I'm sick of this ridiculous hate posts! I don't hate him. I'm disappointed in him.
