Romelu Lukaku

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

Sad It didn't work out for him, but I guess he went for a very good price. Both clubs will be happy.

[Hamilton 2,120]

So looks like he's gone..

Well, life at Chelsea continues without him..

Moving on...

[ParNolio7 285]

He is not a Chelsea supporter but just a Belgium Fan boy.

Don't bother your time with him.

Sorry I won't say anything to upset the Mourinho establishment anymore!

All bow down to our God! José Mourinho! Viva el Presidente!

Chelsea's Lukaku 'set for huge Everton move'

https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/premier-league-reports-lukaku-set-huge-everton-deal-131336899--sow.html

From that article :

Lukaku is undoubtedly one of the best young strikers, with a physique and presence that belies his tender years. He has only just turned 21, is intelligent, strong, quick and can finish - but Mourinho doesn't seem to like him, probably for personal reasons.

So let me get this straight - Mourinho actually doesn't have an opinion on Lukaku's attributes/skillset and relied only on his personal equation with him in looking to move him on. The same Mourinho who released Lampard and Essien; the same Mourinho who signed Eto'o for Inter and Fabregas for Chelsea not long after those players had some not very nice things to say about him. Yup, totally makes sense.

Mourinho didn't get to the very, very top of his profession by holding grudges against 20 year olds.

People on the Everton forum seem to be pissing themselves in joy.

[ParNolio7 285]

He is our Manager are you f*ucking serious? You want Abramovic to manage our team?

I mean he could drive the f*cking player bus down a canyon and you'd still applaud him. There's no criticism towards his decisions whatsoever. Even worse, anyone who does dare to critisize him is being bashed for a "Belgium fan boy" or whatever. Anyone criticizing (or however the f*ck you write that word) Mourinho couldn't possibly be a Chelsea fan right?

I wonder how you would've reactied if it were Benitez who brought in veterans like Eto'o and Drogba for strikers. Sell Mata to United. Allow for Lukaku to go out on loan when we had zero options in attack. And so on.

Perspective.

[DANILA 290]

hate it when good players forced to leave just because they 'said something' that Mou doesn't like. Ridiculous. That's why he was booted from Real, no one liked him anymore for his ridiculous ego and beliefs.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Maybe Jose wants to get rid of Torres and Lukaku so that we can afford Cavani?

Costa/Cavani/Drogba looks really dangerous!

Going for the 4th place with Chelsea or Everton not so much difference anyway

Agreed. IMO It has nothing to do with Mourinho's apparent "grudge" against Lukaku (one that has been over exaggerated by the media tenfold). I think Romelu just wants to go to a decent club where he's undisputed number one and CFC have thus sold an asset that doesn't really want to be here for a very good price, which is fine for all parties involved.

Is that the follow up to 50 shades of Grey?

The question here is why would Cavani join a team playing with one striker when Costa and Drogba have just been bought. Only one of three can start the game and players like Cavani or Costa don't join teams to become a 30 minute sub.
