Romelu Lukaku

[Rapkun 668]

My only concern about this deal is selling to Everton, didn't Wolsburg bid for him too? Sturridge to pool, Mata to United and now this..

[lucio 5,370]

We absolutely have to. And I can't imagine after a season which Mourinho complained about strikers he wouldn't go after another.

mourinho says drogba is "one of the best in europe" though. if he truly believes that, its farcical.

[LemmeBorrowThat 124]

I'm upset that he's gone but if he feels he needs to be at another club than I won't hold it against it at all. I wish him success, he puts the cart in front of the horse at times but I think he just wants a chance to prove himself and IMO so far he has.

Dee, this is Chelsea FC. We always find a way to fuck something perfectly good up and look like absolute clowns, so don't be surprised if we bring in nobody.

Ridiculous hyperbole.

Buuuut we have Costa and Drogba who according to Mou is still one of the best strikers in Europe.

We're buying no one lol.

Good luck, Romelu! Finally off to a club where you're appreciated. Still hate to see you go though. Hope you prove everyone wrong here and put five or six past us coming season (we'll try to score one more than ;-)) !

About the price: £ 28 Mio seems about right for a 21-year-old who scored 32 goals over two seasons in the PL. Good deal for Everton, good deal for Lukaku and good deal for Chelsea where fans and manager didn't like him.

Was about time the Lukaku topic was closed here

lol, he didn't score a single goal for us

who would've thought?

Lukaku was bought to replace Drogba. He was called 'The New Drogba'. Drogba was bought to replace Lukaku. There's only one Drogba.

It isn't official as yet, so topic remains open.

[Stingray 9,441]

I'm fine with the deal as long as we bring in a viable, different type of 2nd choice striker. A pure technical CF would be very nice.

That would be ideal .... But who though ...?

[Madmax 9,219]

Not counting club-trained players, at that price he's our :

- 3rd highest sale in the Abramovich era

- 2nd most profitable sale in the Abramovich era

- 2nd highest in terms of return on investment

Clearly, exceptional business in monetary terms.

[ParNolio7 285]

Don't worry, Mourinho will bring in a new striker for sure. I'm betting on Ronaldo (the old one), fits the Mourinho striker profile perfectly in terms of age and fitness!

The topic will remain open regardless, it'll just be moved to ex players.

Drogba as a third option really isn't that bad. The real problem is Torres.

Maybe I should consider, people are probably less cocky over there!

Nah I'll still be around, believe it or not, I was here before the Belgians and will remain after.

is lukaku your brother or something like that? because u are attention whore just like him

[sherry33 234]

Lukaku : 32 goals in 66 EPL games.

Torres : 21 goals in 110 EPL games.

All of a sudden, we don't look as strong as we should be anymore. It's as you were for us. If Costa gets injured or struggles for form initially, we're fucked. If we don't bring in a replacement for Lukaku, we're fucked. Say what you want about the player's attitude but this is poor mismanagement by the club. This could potentially turn out to be much worse than the Sturridge deal.

Give it a rest already if Costa does get injured and Lukaku will be our main striker we are fucked and you know that.
