Leif 6,006 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Is this the guy that loved the club so much he, erm, wouldn't fight for his place? Very confusing guy. Diego 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really are in for Lukaku he is coming because Costa is off, dead simple. But when we offered this money for Morata everyone agreed that Conte wants to play him next to Costa... i dont think Costa is leaving. Conte wants 4-2-4, letting Lukaku and Michy be the only strikers (with Traore) will be terrible . Chelsea Legend 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea4 1,521 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Now that we can't get Morata hopefully we sign Lukaku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romelu already has proven himself in the PL. Morata hasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lukaku comes, Costa is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Conte sounded very sure yesterday about Costa. ‘Diego is our player. He is a fantastic player, a player with a fundamental importance and there is no problem. He stays with us, he is working very hard, he is very happy to work with his teammates and with me in the new idea of football. He is a Chelsea player. ‘He is an important player, a very strong player, one of the best in the world, and I am sure when he goes into our ideas he will score a lot of goals for us.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 My two cents, probs wrong. They got told to feck off by Madrid for Morata. Negotiating with Napoli is a ballache so that's Higuain out Now it's onto Lukaku. Still don't think this means Costa's off, but maybe that's my wishful thinking. We haven't signed Romelu yet anyway, its not like Everton need the money now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I would be very fine with a strike force of Costa, Lukaku and Batshuayi! With Traore waiting in the wings! Clearly Strikers and CB are going for a mint now(and Pogba!) €60m seems right for a guy who's scored 60 premier league goals at the age of 23... Given the market of course Diego 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego 433 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 hmm i really don't rate him tbh. His scoring record is pretty damn good though... I guess we have given up on Morata so R.L is our 2nd choice... Anyone else have a better suggestion on which ST we should sign? I cant think of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the market of course Just can't see how we could play with two technically subpar, physical, battering ram strikers together. You need to partner that kind of striker with a technically superb one like Batshuayi. Lukaku and Costa occupy the same areas and play a very similar style. They love to make runs in behind and like receiving the ball on the run. Their game relies on beating the offside trap and running like a freight train in open space. Dont see how it would work.

Ya I get what you mean. Batshuayi is pretty nice on the ball so that solves that, also I would bet good money someone like Hazard, Loftus Cheek or even Pedro will see some time in that secondary striker role. If today is any indication on how we intend to play, I think most of the action is going to be played in wide areas with crosses and one on ones with our wingers. Team won't be able to double down on Hazard in this system and it will provide a lot more space for the likes of Lukaku and Costa to operate in. That's my take anyways.

OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I really hope no one at Stamford Bridge is considering spending money on Lukaku.If, later in the window, Real find they need to relax the price for Morata then that's a deal I'd like to see happen. If, on the other hand, Rom is good enough to earn a place in our side, it will only serve as evidence that we are not as good as we would like to be. kellzfresh, Peace. and Barbara 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 60 goals as a 23 yr old in the toughest league out there and people are complaining about wanting to acquire him in a two striker system? My head hurts.... Oh and did I mention he is homegrown? lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
