Romelu Lukaku

He would get lots of playing time here. Especially if we make it into the latter stages of the Champions league/ FA cup etc. Lukaku would probably become our sole striker in the League at that point with Costa playing in the champions league etc.

yeah, that's what i thought would happen, but lukaku is a dumbfuck.

17m (KdB) + 37m (Juan Mata :( ) + 50m (Luiz) + 28m (Lukaku) = 134m

15m (Luis) + 32m (Costa) + 27m (Fabregas) + 3m (Pasalic) = 77m

50m left. we've essentially traded Lukaku, Kevin de Bruyne, Luiz, and Lukaku for Costa, Fabregas, Luis and Pasalic +50m. Fantastic by the club.

Mourinho explains the reason for selling Lukaku

“The thinking behind the move was the fact that Romelu was always very clear with us, in his mentality, in his approach, he was not highly motivated to come to a competitive situation at Chelsea,” said Mourinho.

“He wanted to play for Chelsea but he wanted to be clearly the first choice striker, which in a club of our dimension, it is very difficult to promise to a player. That reduced immediately his desire to come to us.”

Just seen this point on from @sidcelery We got Costa and Drogba for Lukaku and Ba. Two players who'll knock walls down for us.

Honestly that is such a good point. Mourinho wants players who will do everything for the team and he's got that in Costa and Drogba.

That's not really an apt compasion...we got Costa and Drogba for Eto'o and Ba would be more like it.

Better off yes, but that you can't make comparisons to how it would have been with Lukaku...I think this sale was more of a case of Chelsea trying to balance its books

How could anyone support him after this is beyond me.
