Chelsea Transfers

Lukaku it is....our attacking front line gonna be insane...

[ZAPHOD2319 4,534]

If we sign him, I am looking forward to seeing how Tuchel utilizes him. We kept getting draws and losing to teams that had far less talent than we do. If Lukaku changes that then we have a real shot at winning the league. I enjoyed the video of his goals. Many of those sitters he made them sitters. He bullies the CB and creates space for the ball to arrive. We will see how it goes, but I don’t understand people who say he is crap, because he clearly is anything but.

Impressed by what? Penalties and sitters? Not one single impressive goal.

He is more clinical, I give him that. We spoke many times how Werner and Havertz have 25% conversation rate of big chances.

Lukaku last season in Seria A and CL: 28 goals from 49 big chances so this is 57%.

I honestly expect Lewandowski to be better player in 37 than Lukaku in 32 so we should have spend 120m on him.

Impressed by his all around game. Pace, power, finishing with both feet and his head. Defenders bouncing off him like he’s a brick wall.

Of course if given the choice I’d have Haaland 100 times out of 100. But if he’s impossible and the club is dead set on a striker no matter what this summer he’s the best we can do.

It's really funny tho.

"would rather we sign Danny Ings, who is every bit as good if not better than Lukaku"

Would this be the same Danny Ings who has less than half the amount of PL goals as Lukaku in the same amount of seasons played in the Prem? And the same Danny Ings who has scored roughly a third of Lukaku's amount of career goals despite Ings scoring a significant portion of his goals in world beater leagues such as the Championship, League One and Conference South?

The agenda against Lukaku is really sad to see. I know many are disappointed a move for Haaland didn't materialize in the end but cmon people, this is really getting out of hand.

Does this forum still have the ignore option for individual posters? Seems like there could be some use for it...

You would rather Giroud and Tammy over Lukaku.. 

Wow.

I hope we don't sign Lukaku. He will no doubt be another disaster striker signing. At best he was OK in EPL and I cannot believe he will be any better after his time in Serie A.

The amount mentioned is way too much and I would rather we sign Danny Ings, who is every bit as good if not better than Lukaku. Complete waste of Money and if this happens he may be ranked in Same Category as Kepa and Shivshenko

This is just utter nonsense. It is funny because like I said before Lukaku will have his critics no matter how many goals he scores. In terms of the high pressing we play, him and Haaland are perfectly suited to us. Lukaku could even be considered a safer bet than Haaland as he already has PL experience.

Also the age thing, Benzema, Suarez and Lewa are all playing the best footy of their careers at what 33/34 years of age. Lukaku's fitness levels is incredible. Rarely gets injured and is a top all round player who has worked thoroughly on his flaws.

On a positive note we will be strong in the air... Kai and Lukaku both around 190cm always in the box... But bigger question is can Chilwell and James deliver?

For €130m? Yes. When you spend the sort of money that we are on Lukaku, you're pretty much all in on him for five years. At Utd, he had a good first four-six months then was largely crap as people knew how to deal with him in that system. Expect something similar. Some people on here are are getting bamboozled by him stat padding by scoring tap ins at Inter. 

[Jype 6,398]

If true, can't fault the club for moving on. Adding in the agent fees for Raiola and Haaland's dad the total cost would have already been close to 200M€ even with the 130M€ transfer fee, and if that got rejected then there's really not much more to do.

Honestly, people need to stop worrying about the money. Yea it's too much, that I can agree on but in the end who really gives a fuck... he will score goals and goals is what this team needs. 

[Mário César 1,033]

its a lot of money but... well, its not my money... so who cares?

[Tomo 21,733]

CBA with this back and forth.

Time to try and convince myself I'm wrong and hope I actually am.

Oh, no! Juan is upset about people talking bad about signing a donkey* he likes for €130m. 

We had all better watch out! He sounds really big and scary typing away on his keyboard calling people names and trying to psycho analyse them. 

* In football, especially in the United Kingdom, a player who is considered unskilful is often dubbed a "donkey",^[35] and the term has a similar connotation in poker
