Romelu Lukaku

[Styles 9,790]

I'm sure we'll be bringing in another striker. No way the club will enter the season with Drogba and Torres as back-up.........

right?

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

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.

[The Skipper 20,593]

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.

Mail reporting 25 million poounds...he posted a picture of himself in a jet with the title "time to write a new chapter"...so he is gone

[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..

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.

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

[edetarod 2,155]

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

who would've thought?

`Won't you be going with him? Maybe you'll be appreciated by Everton fans too

[ChelseaFC12 134]

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.

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.
