Romelu Lukaku

[Madmax 9,219]

I would like to know when he changed to Raiola, because Lukaku denied any links with Raiola not long time ago. And Henrotay said the same: "Agent of Romelu is me, it is not true that he has joined Mino. It all started from a fake account on instagram."

Don't know how reliable transfermarkt is in these matters but it lists Raiola.

Skysources say he is moving closer to a permanent move to Everton. We won't realise how much we miss something till it's gone. Got a feeling this will be the same with Lukaku in a few years. I wish him good luck with his new chapter. Like so many names, one who was never given a proper chance despite a big investment. Real shame!

Definitely a shame, I think he has a huge future but I cannot help feeling if he had stayed quieter and just focused on fighting for a place at this club this wouldn't be going in the direction it is. Regardless of what people say he has just spoken too much and it's his feet that should of been doing that back here and not to reporters from far and wide. I wish him all the success in the future if he does go, but if he does go I fully expect some parting shots back at the club.

The thing that annoys me is that despite his flaws and communication with the media he is a top young forward and a HG player. I don't think he is a Balotelli type of player where you cannot work with his off the field problems. We could of worked on that. But it just disappoints me that sign him for around £18m. He goes on loan for 2 seasons running while our strikers have not set the world alight and then we sell him. I just find it ridiculous and does not set an example for younger players of breaking through. It basically shows 'I have talent but I will never make it at Chelsea because they will buy someone else as usual'. It is bloody frustrating. I know he did not come through our academy but we bought him at 18 with the sign of being our no.1 forward in the future. He has proved himself in the PL but what do we do sell him?

If he comes back here we could easily manage to stop him communicating to the media. It is not that hard. It is really fickle for fans to believe his potential is limited. I doubt Costa was even scoring that much goals at 21. When Lukaku reaches Costa's age I won't be surprised to see him at a top club.

Sturridge gone, we regretted and now Lukaku has gone... time will tell. Regardless of whether Costa does the business, we had a top young, HG talent who could have been a huge bonus for us for the upcoming seasons but like I said the arrival of a 36 year old Drogba pushes Lukaku to the exit door. Just don't get the reasoning behind this.

Thanks for link, but it must be mistake.

24 mill would be another food piece of business if we swing it

Juventus could launch a €30m bid for Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku within the next few days. (AS)

Lukaku to join Everton on a permanent deal for a structured 24 Million 3 year fee in the next 24 hours. (SSN)

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Work a deal with juve in which pogba can be brought in and they can have torres for free as well

It is frustrating but that's unfortunately what happens here, not just that, but we really don't know the full story and what has been said in communications between all parties in this. If relations between Jose and Lukaku have gone like some people say then there isn't any coming back from that and as it stands we have four strikers with one being a complete and utter dud, we all know who that is, and in the cold light of day we would all fuck him off right now but there is a small thing of contracts to run down plus astronomical wages meaning only an idiot would take him on.

We made a mistake with Sturridge and we could possibly do the same with Lukaku, only time will tell. But I'm not one to point the finger at the board because I am a firm believer that they deserve more credit than criticism over the years because Emanalo and Co have made some genius buys and also the sales of some players. As fans we can be annoyed and display our frustration to suit, but we must trust the owner and board that whilst we think it's a mistake that new boys like Costa will fit such a gap that he won't be missed and that Lukaku goes on to be happy and enjoys his football, and together, all parties move on.

You don't mean 'given a proper chance', you mean 'handed the first-team shirt on a plate despite proving nothing'.

He was given chances. That's a fact. He asked to leave.

[Atholy 1,293]

Christophe Henrotay is still Lukaku's manager... So the monaco talks are just BS!

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

If he is going it would be best if he was sent to Juventus.

I don't consider Everton any sort of threat, but still it would be best if we didn't strengthen them to a point where they could be.

Well yes he was given chances but imo he should have started at least one of those first 4 games. Especially considering the two other strikers we had at the time and none of them actually scored. But by a proper chance I mean letting him come back this season and shwoing that if you impress out on loan you have a chance of making it here. So when the likes of Chalobah, Kalas go on loan what sort of optimism will they have when they see what happened with the likes of Lukaku?

He got increasing amounts of time against Hull and Villa, but he was unlucky in that against United we didn't use a striker. We simply didn't know that United were as shit as they were that early in the season.

Then against Bayern he got another chance. He would've got more, but bear in mind it took until October for Azpilicueta to amass equivalent minutes on the pitch but he didn't ask for a move (despite the competition in the World and European Champions squad for a spot) and took his chances when they came.

That's why Azpi is loved by the fans and Jose, and Lukaku increasingly isn't.

I thought the arrival of Drogba meant 2 things.

1) Either Drogba gonna be a mentor for him

OR

2) Drogba is going to 'replace' him

Skysources say he is moving closer to a permanent move to Everton. We won't realise how much we miss something till it's gone. Got a feeling this will be the same with Lukaku in a few years. I wish him good luck with his new chapter. Like so many names, one who was never given a proper chance despite a big investment. Real shame!

We miss? He never played for us.

Romelu Lukaku is set to return to Chelsea for pre-season and fight for a first-team place, according to Sky sources.

sky sport reported this few days ago, still don't believe

[bababoom 4,478]

£25 million is great tbh, He's very limited and for that reason i don't see him ever being a WC player, he's way too raw. I wanted him to be our second striker because he's better than Torres and Drogba and he still scores goals but if we sell him and bring in a technical striker who suits our system than i'll be very happy.

Mourinho apparently wants Torres out as well so i can only assume we want another striker. As i said before, if we don't buy another striker and keep Torres than i'll be pissed, we simply cannot go into a season with Costa, Torres and Drogba, i just cant believe our board and Jose would allow it.
