Romelu Lukaku

[akgw13 867]

I think people on here are a little too harsh against Lukaku, how i look at things is he is a young physical force who has been scoring goals in a top league at a young age for a mid table team.

Frankly people discussing his mindset and their perception of his mentality i don't necessarily agree with, you don't know whats going on inside his head or how he feels.

I have to believe that Conte has signed off on a transfer of this magnitude so clearly the people in charge see something in him. I think that with a team built like ours and the service we can provide he will be a more consistent scorer than Diego with far less headache, he is still a young developing striker and with a proper team behind him and coaches to push him who says he cant continue to add things to his game. When is a player ever fully formed at 23/24? 

He might not be my #1 option(Belotti for silly personal reasons) but I do believe that if we sign him he will get 25 goals a year for us and he will score against the top 6 and be a handful in the CL. This guy can flat out score and is a physical freak if Conte thinks he can work with him then on the day we announce the signing ill be happy and in time I think he will prove he can lead the line for Chelsea.

Never have been less excited about transfers as this summer. I'm pretty positive we will spend about 200 mil ( Only from this year transfer income and just a little bit from tv rights) but how many players we can get for 200 mil? Max two decent , not  guaranteed great players and some pocket change?  Hardly enough to improve our lack of depth and to replace every player that has left. And to think one of those special players could well be Lukaku, goalscorer yes, but world class - far from. I'm afraid that Europe will disclose his shortcomings. If he comes I really really hope that Sanchez loves London and isn't interested in learning German language. He is the cheapest decent winger we can get. I reckon Hazard wont go. With those two, I could be happy with Lukaku.

"premier league proven" has got to be one of the funniest phrases in football

Big Rom is on the move again and I hope it's not Chelsea for a ridiculous fee

[Special Juan 28,124]

I reckon he's coming back and it's now up to the club to find a suitable taker for Costa. The shit he caused mid season he should already of been told he's going.

I actually think that if he and his scummy agent are already talking to a club it'll be Man United. They'll be feeling burned by the Griezmann situation and desperate to make a big statement signing. I'm not 100% convinced we're after him with Costa still here.

I disagree, I think Lukaku has only Chelsea in mind. It seems destined that we will buy him the only negotiation being had is the fee between us and Everton. I would be shocked if he went to ManU. 

Frankly I was lukewarm on the Idea of Lukaku coming home but I think he will prove the doubters on here wrong and be a star for us.  

 

But if he does go to ManU or Bayern then hopefully we can buy Belotti since he is my favourite (for silly biased reasons haha)

Don't get me wrong, I'd have him back here for sure. I'm just not sure how it would be possible for he and Diego to play together.

If he went to the Manc's he'd be the main #9 assuming Zlatan is gone. Plus, he'd be paid ludicrous wages and get to team up with his best mate Pogba.

Oh I agree, I was always assuming Diego was moving on this summer but the Atleti Ban and China tax put a big kink in our plans. I do not think that they can play together it would be an infuriating sight aha but if we do sign him that has to be the end for Diego, they will move him now or in January or else Conte will have to man manage the HELL out of that situation. (His signing could be music to Batmans ears since I think they could play together like they do in Belgium)

Yes, ManU certainly need him more than us with the current rosters but I think Lukaku still has a sour taste in his mouth from Mourinho talking shit and he wants to be the next Drogba in Chelsea blue rather than just another Striker in the United history books. Just feels like he loves Chelsea and wants to prove everyone wrong, with that sort of motivation I could get excited about him quickly.

According to some Everton fans.... fee nearly agreed, talks all but done with us.

Get lukaku + morata in and ship Costa the fuck out or bench him if ATM pay cheap, i'd be happy

[Special Juan 28,124]

He's now following Kante, Lew Baker and Cahill..... Stop the press.
