I'm afraid not a lot of you will have seen the interview (let alone be able to understand a single word they say ). So here's the summary of the most important things that have been said: He's feeling

Disappointing that whenever I see this thread bumped I come in thinking 'what has he said now..'. Hopefully the situation gets clarified soon so the club and the player can move forward.

Dharmesh who does the transfer round up on skysports and is very reliable just said that reports of Lukaku joing Everton on a permanent transfer is not true. He is currently on holiday with his girlfriend and will return for pre-season traning on monday and has claimed he wants to stay and fight for his place.

I hope this is true.

I hope this is true,

And that probably is the long and short of it.

There hasn't been a word from the player or his agent for more than a month now...but this topic has been buzzing nonstop during that period..more than it should be.,IMO

This. His last words were down the line of him and his agent would see what is best for him. He might of sounded to big for his boots but he basically was saying he feels he is capable of scoring goals and starting and fighting for honours. He never exactly said he is not going to play for a team if he is not made the undisputed striker. So much criticsm of him but I guess we will know more this upcoming week.

If he comes out with the news that he is willing to fight for his place I think regardless of previous comments all Chelsea fans would appreciate that.

Maybe because he is still a Chelsea player? This is irrelevant compared to what he has said most recently.

You do not seem to fully understand my perspective. Let me be clear:

If Lukaku leaves, for whatever fee, there is obviously some want for the player to leave himself. Otherwise he would simply say 'No, I want to fight for my place/be the future of this club' and sign a new contract. So let's get that straight.

It will not matter who, as long as they accept their role as no.2 and do not try to create discontent it would be more progressive than having someone who sulks when he isn't picked. Chelsea will always attract good talent anyway.

You are confusing problems. Our main problem was not having a competent no.1 striker, that has been solved (most likely). Our current problem is Lukaku, a striker who isn't happy in his role.

Remember how terrible it was to have Torres moaning at every opportunity, blaming his shit performances on everyone and everything (including his teammates)? Remember how shit that was? Well that will happen again if we just go into this season 'hoping' Lukaku is fine with the situation. It has to be sorted beforehand.

No mate, the harsh reality is that Lukaku has basically talked himself into a corner where he has two simple options:

1) Accept being no.2, sign a new contract and be patient.

2) Be sold.

Right now, he is taking option 2 unless he decides otherwise.

THIS. this is very different from what u said in the first post. IF lukaku is not happy with being no.2, then he can get lost!!! but the way people have been speaking, they make it seem that selling him no matter what (even if he wants to stay and fight for his place) is a brilliant idea. why? just cos lukaku would be entering the last year of his contract and his value will decrease.

right now, lukaku personally cant be dumb enough to not know that we are his best chance at glory!!!he wants to play in a CL club, i cant see where other than us he can play. moreover, right now there are sources, like sky which confirm that he will be fighting for the spot while there are tabloids like mail, telegraph who sprout nonsense day after day that he is on his way out. and then there are a certain posters on here who clearly have an agenda over him.

On Monday, you sure about that? I'm pretty sure Hazard and Courtois aren't coming back for almost another two weeks because of Belgium reaching the QFs and Lukaku was a part of the same team so he's probably been given the same time off.

Cutting his holiday short in favour of joining the squad early would be a great way to show Mourinho he's finally ready to let the football do the talking but I won't believe it till I see it.

Sorry. My bad. I assumed Monday. But just remembered the WC. So I assume it will be 2 weeks. Would be great to see Costa and a wanting to stay Lukaku as our strikers next season.
