Whether you wanted Lukaku or not celebrating this is idiotic. With Utd setting the price at 75m, it weakens our position with other targets. The market has just gotten smaller and dollars will be harder to negotiate. 

Whoever our target was we should've locked him up before anyone else, now we're left scrambling and negotiating from a weakened position.

The club have shown a lack of ambition for quite a while now, any deal over 35m and we're hymming and hawwing until someone else comes in and grabs the player.

This is a disaster...

I couldn't agree more. It doesn't mean all this stories about Lukaku to United are true but definitely would be crazy to celebrate this especially if he's our main and only ST target from May. A little reminder: Alvaro Morata was connected with Chelsea until 2016/17 season ended, Belotti too. After that, only Lukaku.

LOL.

So how much is Harry Kane worth right now?

MARKET DICTATES PRICE.

Don't understand why that should be any relation with another club players at all. One thing I can tell you, if MU want him, Spurs for sure set the price higher than they paid for Lukaku. If Real Madrid want to sign Kane, they can get him for much less than they would set the price for MU.

What has Harry Kane won?

Do you get the concept of market dictating price?

Let me explain it to you in layman terms.

If there is one gallon of water left in the world and you and I are thirsty do you think the price for water goes down, stays the same or goes up?

Chelsea played their hand by telling Costa he's not needed. Utd don't have Zlatan... How many top strikers are even made available?

[DDA 9,924]

I'll say it again, fuck Lukaku.

[Leif 6,006]

But while everyone's bidding on the already-made gallon of water, some shrewd few will slowly be collecting their own raindrops, without paying the huge fees. 

There's only limited supply depending on where you look, and who you listen to.

[oldportblue 547]

he's still gonna sign for us, just watch. We will get rid of Costa very soon and then we will match their bid... may be wrong but this is my feeling

Lol, I wrote that sentence, basically to said that not much improvement with Lukaku since joining Everton, what suddenly make him worth 75m is beyond me.

Let me put this simple. MU buy Pogba for 89m, but we seems will get Bakayoko for 37m now. No relation at all. Maybe you then arguing, 'hey it happened last year, it's different window'. Ok, now if we bid for Belotti and the player want the move, ask you this question, will Torino said that, 'because MU buy Lukaku for 75m, Belotti worth much more than that sum'? Lol, no way, we will get much more less than that.

25 goals and a small market! 

Again do you not understand that market dictates price?

And I hate to break it to you but Torino want €100m for Belotti, he just re-signed and his release clause ain't cheap so ya they will look at this shrinking market and put a mint on Belotti's head, you know why? Because the market dictates how much a player is worth.

Getting myself more and more hyped at the idea of Morata or Belotti. Quicker, more technically gifted strikers. Something we haven't had at Chelsea in a long time.

Not to sound bitter about Lukaku potentially going to United (because I did want him here and thought he'd do well) but I actually don't think he's going to take them to a new level. I mean, they had fucking Zlatan who is a level above Lukaku even at age 35 and they struggled. And he's a technically excellent footballer in addition to being the physical monster that Rom is.

I suspect that Lukaku will get his 20 goals per season there but I also suspect that there will be a lot of frustration over his ability and his probable struggles against the better opponents they face.

Club has every right to set their initial price. But if the player want the move, it will change the price for sure. So, no, not the market, but the player's will will change the price.

hahahaha...

So when Pogba wanted to leave for Utd how much did his price change? How much you think Verratti will go for to Barca?

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

Lukaku is still going to Chelsea apparently. His first touch took him to Man United for a minute but he's back on track now.

 

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

So our club had agreed personal terms but Everton (according to the media) aren't happy with us because of the Stones debacle.

I had a soft spot for them, being the other scouse club and all, well fuck 'em

Hopefully take six points of them now.

When he leave Juve for MU? exactly like Lukaku case, they paid overprice for him. Never worth 89m. The true value is set automatically after some time. If now he want to leave MU, his price will go down for sure, also because the player want the move.

Again, don't see any relationship with completely different player in completely different country involving two completely different clubs.
