Romelu Lukaku

[The Skipper 20,593]

We can't loan him, he only has 2 years on his contract.

And if he doesn't want to sign a new contract... Now is the best time to sell him. Unfortunately.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

So yesterday, seems like he is staying, today seems like he is leaving. Who knows, maybe tomorrow he will sign a new contract.

[Henrique 9,133]

Huge deal. I thought Mourinho made a mistake letting him going on loan last season, but at the end of the day he is not even better than Origi...

[Jase 43,479]

How much?

Everton would be a good club for Romelu to develop at tbh.

Have seen the figure £18million been mentioned as his price.

If that is true, then it's about £9 million we'll be getting as a profit..

[LDN Blue 7,903]

no disrespect to Everton, but if that's the club that will acquire his signature from us.. well that says a lot. both in terms of who actually rates him on a pedestal and how good HE believes he is..

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Potentially our first major blunder of the transfer window. If our board thinks Costa, Torres and Drogba are good enough (despite other additions) to challenge City's strikeforce all season then their sadly mistaken. Costa is great but this will be his first season in the PL, Torres is a busted flush and injury prone while Drogba, legend that he is, is a shadow of his former self nowadays, so much so that Galatasaray fans want him out.

And if Lukaku has to be sold, it should be to a foreign club and for a fee no less than 25 million pounds. I hope we don't mess it up because I've been so happy with our business thus far.

the most idiotic thing our board could have done for in a loooooonnnnnggggg time. and when i say "idiotic", i am being kind!!!!

[The only place to be 11,313]

Quick, everyone bash the board because....kneejerk!!!!

Fact is the board have done superb business this window, and in the last window....and in the window before that. This wouldn't happen without Jose's say so. We don't need the money particularly, although it's always nice to take a swim in the giant Scrooge Mcduck money vault I'm almost certain we have at Cobham.

This is simply Jose not rating a player and deciding to cash in. Why is anyone at all surprised at this? Jose places so much emphasis on a player's attitude...understand that and it all becomes so much clearer.

[Madmax 9,219]

Am I missing something? The two links on the previous page don't even say anything other than 'Everton feel a deal could be done'. Do people need nothing other than a run-of-the-mill 6 pictures, 3-paragraph Daily Mail 'article' to start calling the board 'idiotic'?

[Daniel1980 1,425]

It's too early to say it's a wrong decision. It depends on whether we're getting another young striker. I believe we will. I doubt Jose wants to rely on Torres and Drogba if Costa gets injured or suspended.

So let's wait and see. There's a lot of time until the end of the transfer window.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

LOL! The Telegraph is a rubbish source for transfers. Keep calm guys,no need to overreact!

[rantdeville 195]

This just means more minutes for Torres.

G**dammit.

[Blue Gino 377]

Chelsea initially said according to Lukaku's agent that Romelu will not be loaned out, period. If a deal happens it's because Lukaku whined to leave and frankly he can piss off if that's the case and not another loan deal which means smart ass remarks all season long of how great he is, just sell him if he wants out rather than compete with Torres for minutes which by the way how fricking hard is that to do, to outplay Torres? If a bird landed on the pitch and for 90 minutes dodging players and flying all over the place, that's about what Torres brings. The bird won't score and neither will Torres!

[Diego Kwsta 96]

A guy who doesn't want competition will never make it in life.....I was a huge fan of Romelu,just as a lot of you I supose,but I lost my faith in him.The guy hasnt done anything to prove that he is ready,he cant back up his words in the pitch and thats something that we'll have to think about.Do you really want a guy who want everything on a silver platter?

[zolayes 14,489]

ironic .. so many fans giving up on Lukaku ,,saying He is a Quitter

He is a quitter....He left the club last year because he didn't want competition.What does that make him?
