With the attacking talent we have, it is not bad advice. He may never see the pitch in a Chelsea kit if he stays.

He had the option of a sale with a buy to Bruges but thought he was above it so went to Palace instead. Nonsense as the Belgian league is about his right level.

Are you like suggesting he is actually good enough to play for us?

Isn't he taking a step back at Palace already? Good advice, but he needs at least two or three steps back to rebuild.

Regardless, he needs to be sold this summer especially when his contract expires next year!

If ten people get Covid, Aids, and really bad cases of herpes......maybe he gets some game time.

Nah, I think he has now joined the Drinky/Baba category and people realising why we call him Batsh*t. No one is going to pay his fee and wages. Best we can hope for is another loan with someone covering his wages. 

Only prayer we have of a sale is that Lukaku goes down injured before the Euros and he somehow becomes their No.1 striker for the tournament and he gets 6+ goals.

But not if he decides enough is enough? If we go down that loan route again, then it's probably likely that we'll extend his contract, which would just stretch this out even further and it's unnecessary. Marina just needs to admit defeat and take whatever fee we can get for him!

Extending his contract last summer was wishful thinking he will come good. 

We should have sold him after Dortmund loan.

Yeah, this is a great idea. But who are we finding that is even going to pay £5m and give him £100k a week wages? Not going to happen in my opinion. I'd be amazed if we even find someone to cover his wages.

Was there any interested buyer back then? 

Part of the reason why we aren't able to sell these deadwoods is because Marina puts a high price on them.

If the price is only 5 million, am sure there are takers somewhere out there. The wages would then be the issue and that's down to the player on whether he wants just to keep wandering around or go to somewhere and settle down for good.
