Romelu Lukaku

Vintage Chelsea, bringing my mood down after a good match. Hope the Dimarzio guy got drunk or something or got one of his days off.

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

when you put it like that

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.

Why are we after this guy? Seriously, don't ruin my perfect mood,Chelsea.

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.

ffs just as i try and convince my self it could be a good signing you remind me why it wont...

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?

What makes you think that? he is very good with thing involving Belgium players. Its also been reported many times they want £60+

The fact that he didn't even know about the bid and yes while he knows about Belgian players he's not exactly got the inside scoop on transfers.

Oh Emenalo... come on, one would think we're talking about a legend to want him since April. I hope Conte isn't interested or that at least Everton deny us. They seem good at that, only this time I won't mind it at all.

[RuudiGullit 112]

Everton are a huge pain in the ass to deal with and they are also a pain with the whole Koulibaly thing. 

The only thing I have something against them is during transfer windows. Since the whole Stones thing ugh... Scousers.
