Romelu Lukaku

[J.F. 1,484]

Lukaku is staying, 10 minutes conversation with Drogba and he will stay, he knows that he will get more chance because he will be our second striker + Drogba is going to be his mentor

[Svita 10 186]

Selling a player for 30m that never scored a single goal in official matches for Chelsea, is an amazing deal for me.

Drogba still is a very good player, and at least a decent "squad player".

But not to me, because he has potentional to be next Drogba. And we don´t need money so much.

To start season with Costa, Torres and Drogba is suicide

I say make a deal a la Real. Sell him for £20 mil with the option to get him back for £25-30 mil within the next two seasons.

All I ask is one good season, say the right things, then he can get his wish granted and sold next summer. He has the mindset of being the main man but sorry, Diego is the alpha who's going to be a nightmare for opponents this season.

Are the Drogba comparison based on anything more than him being a big, black, long haired striker?

As footballers they're markedly different. Drogba is a two-footed player who is fantastic in the air, strong in possession and with his back to goal, an excellent passer of the ball for a big target man, intelligent and great at bringing others into the game.

Lukaku is a poacher in reality. He's good at running into space but his technique is lacking, he's shockingly bad in the air for someone with his physical gifts and his hold-up play is also pretty bad.

Lukaku is closer in style to Costa which is why losing him isn't that bad. If you want a striker off the bench who changes the way you attack then I'm not sure he's the guy.

If you really want to anoint a big, black, Belgian as the next Drogba then Benteke is your man and I wouldn't mind us going for him. The guy was even born in Africa.

With psg ready to sell cavani, if we sell him for 30mil £, I expect us to buy cavani

How does that work?

If we can sell Lukaku AND Torres then a deal with PSG might happen, especially if they also want Cech.

If we just sell Lukaku then we have Costa, Drogba and Torres still.

DOMRETHING IS HAPPENING AND I WANTED TO GET IN REARLY

No idea what that means though, could be talking about returning to Chelsea or his move elsewhere is done and dusted.

Yeah just seen that.

For those that do not want to open the link, it's a pic of Lukaku on a plane. Surely he would of had to report to Chelsea in the morning?

Or maybe he is just writing a book? Who knows maybe he's the next George RR Martin writing a book called The Game of Moans?

selling lukaku for 30mil and luiz for 50mil, with clearing out deadwood like pva(1.5 mil £), ba(4.5mil £) and hopefully kakuta(1mil £), bertrand (6mil £), marin (2mil £) and mikel (4mil £), we get a lot of leeway to deal with FFP. we can afford to take a hit on torres by selling him for cut-price (5-10mil) so that teams like ATM can deal with his wages (they did the same exact thing with david villa last year).

and like u said, with PSG interested in cech and extremely desperate to sell cavani and lavezzi to fund maria, we can get a deal like 30mil + cech or 35mil+cech for cavani which would be massive if we are able to sell lukaku for 30mil.
