Romelu Lukaku

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

Just scored again.

[The only place to be 11,313]

1 goal in 10 before his injury.

3 goals in 4 since.

Maybe he just needed that rest but he seems to be getting back to where he was early in the season.

Tottenham Hotspur put in-demand Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku top of their summer shopping list

did you heard something about this?

"Spurs were among a host of clubs interested in Lukaku last summer and chairman Daniel Levy made a cheeky offer to swap Emmanuel Adebayor for the 20-year-old"

[The Skipper 20,593]

We shouldn't ever sell anyone to Tottenham because of what they did to us over Modric IMO.

[BloodIsBlue 291]

If we sell anything to our rivals it should be old used up players not players with this much potential. Especially the Spurs, we don't need their stinkn' money.

[didierforever 7,349]

Lol. Let them come for him. We should seriously TOY with them over lukaku and in the end say FUCK OFF!!!

Taking that with a pinch of salt. First time I seeing that.

[Special Juan 27,115]

If Spurs do ever make an offer for Romelu we should send them a fax that reads this....

FUCK OFF!!!

Can't see us ever dealing with Spurs especially when there's interest reportedly from Dortmund and Atletico. I wouldn't dismiss the idea of him leaving out of hand either because if Jose doesn't rate someone he doesn't get all sentimental about it. He let Mata, De Bruyne and Essien go so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Lukaku is allowed to leave for a tidy sum so we can purchase players who fit what Jose wants.

Personally I'd be sad to see him leave. He's got faults but he scores goals consistently and seems to be back in top form following his injury. If we do get Costa and then re-sign Eto'o then there's not a huge amount of minutes left for him so maybe a loan to the continent next season is on the cards. He'd still be very young after another season away and ready to step into the squad.

To be fair, the only player I'd keep out of Mata, De Bruyne and Essien....is De Bruyne, due to his potential.

As for Lukaku, selling him makes no sense UNLESS you are buying a world-class striker (e.g. Cavani, Suarez, Ibra, Falcao)

We're signing a striker in the summer so the best Lukaku can hope for is to be the second-choice striker, which isn't going to be easy if we keep Eto'o around.

I agree about De Bruyne though and Jose was quite happy to keep him around but De Bruyne wanted to leave. The kid was happier getting a certain start for a slightly above mid-table Bundesliga side than fighting for a spot in a title-challenging Premier League team (unlike Schurrle who worked his bollocks off and got starts). If that's his attitude then fuck him.

Why not? Maybe we could give Willian free of cost as a bonus.

Levy can SMD

Eh, really? Judging by what Mourinho said a few times about not being happy with his performances, training etc (though I do really wonder how bad it is), looks as though he was willing enough to let De Bruyne go. Out of the 3 you mentioned there, the one that he wants to keep the most by the looks of it (at least for this season) was Mata rather than De Bruyne or even Essien.

[lionsden 4,689]

I don't get the feeling that Jose rated him from the start and I wouldn't be surprised if theres substance to the rumours. It will be a real shame because he never got to fulfill his dream of playing for his beloved club. if we must sell him it has to be abroad. Another potential repeat of the Sturridge gaffe will be unbearable.

I think he fought for a spot and lost. Can't blame someone for wanting to play. Who exactly was he going to replace in the squad?
