Romelu Lukaku

[yuvala 2,167]

I think Jose will depend upon 2 strikers next season and will keep an extra one as back up. Costa and Lukaku will be our main strikers with Torres probably being our third option. Ideally I would rather have Ba for that role as he would offer more and be much cheaper but if no club is willing to take Torres then we will have to involve him.

I really really hope so.

Its just very hard to see Torres on the bench, seems like its almost impossible.

Wolfsburg really intersted says manager Klaus Allofs in a German magazine. If impossible to get they go for Morata or Destro.

Wouldn't Wolfsburg be a step down for him from Everton, or am I misjudging their quality?

They're in Europa League next season so pretty similar really.

[Hamilton 2,120]

They just missed out on CL-football, so like WHS said, you can compare them..

Ok, they seem to have more money to spend than Everton at least.

[mediator 2,026]

Yes, their financial power is huge, thanks to VW-Audi

Wolfsburg got more money than anyone in Germany. Lukaku for 30m would be peanuts for them & Jose knows that. That's why I am afraid of seeing him gone after the WC.

Nah Bayern still got the most. Wolfsburg will become the 2nd force in German football eventually. But 30m for Lukaku would be the 3rd highest transfer sum ever paid by a German club. It is interesting how the Bundesliga has withstood all that hype and seldom made to big transfers. Still has some decent teams. Anyway 30m is not enough for Rom, given we bought him for 20 or so. IMO if he really wants to stay, there is a possibility he will. Even though it would be typical Chelsea to sell such a player.

As someone mentioned here, what´s behind Wolfsburg, I believe they are pretty close to Bayern.

I doubt, they will pay more than 30m for Lukaku. I would rather see him at Chelsea though. Jose is waiting for the WC & Lukaku will excel there, I feel. Perhaps his price might rise a bit, then.

I think WC shouldn't change a lot of things about his future ... because Diego costa is about to sign..and there are still 3 strikers..I know Chelsea can’t afford to wait . but still it’s a pity we use to rely on “proven” /players (usually +-25yo) only. Meanwhile such great talents are slipping through the net. My guess: GL Rom in your future club . the guy is such a “unique” profile he knows clubs are interested in him. he is not like s1 who wants to lose time (remember the loan to everton). he won’t be satisfied with a kakuta like story. sometime soon we will regret. (you know...for instance : like signing an ex player.. ).. Anyway Guess what? KDB is playing better and better .both him and rom will be in starting line up in 2 weeks.. yes.. when u give trust and playing time it’s different story…


Business.

If Chelsea gets rid Romelu it going to be a serious mistake unless Chelsea can replace him with a young talent. Costa will not be fit for every single game. Costa and Romelu is great for legacy planning at the striker position. Costa and Manduzic is fine for 2-3 years but then what start over looking for a striker while Lukaku is netting 20-25+ goals a year, possibly for another PL team?

I felt getting rid of KDB was the wrong move but I could see the detractor's side. With Rom he's a proven to be 15 goal scorer and who knows what kind of numbers he can get.

Seeing that we won't be able to offload Torres and he will stay with us for 2 more years and José asked Ba to stay, it won't be a stupid move.

Costa - Torres - Ba for next season

Loan Romelu for 2 seasons to Atlético. They are making world class strikers.

And when Torres leaves us, We will have a real great strike force in Costa - Lukaku - Bamford / someone else

I'm sure that Romelu will progress a lot more in spain with his link up play and his first touch

Chelsea set to complete Diego Costa transfer and move Romelu Lukaku on to Spain

Are we absolutely sure Lukaku will only go on loan? Also how long does he have left on his contract?

[robsblubot 3,502]

it looks like Jose doesn't rate Lukaku, unfortunately.

Torres and Ba while Lukaku goes on loan... it makes no fucking sense to me.

^^ yeah big question mark on contract... thought he had another 2 years left.

[yuvala 2,167]

I would love a loan at ATM for him.

That is ofc because I dont know if he'll be 2nd choice here with this fucker Torres staying and possibly even Ba ..

[The only place to be 11,313]

A loan to Atletico would be fantastic for him. Champions League, similar system, maintains good relations and he could come back aged 22-23 with more experience and no Torres in front of him.

[mediator 2,026]

First contract extension, and then a 2 years on loan over there would be a great scenario
