xPetrCechx 13,598 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Chelsea have rejected Inter Milan's latest approach for Romelu Lukaku. They want at least £40million for the striker. Juventus and Al-Hilal are possible destinations if Inter can't do more. He's still not available on loan. #cfc Johnnyeye, Fernando, DH1988 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,267 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Good. Put maximum pressure on both Inter and Lukaku. He absolutely cannot be allowed to come back to Cobham. If Inter don’t want to pay up then it’ll hopefully pressure him into accepting a Saudi deal. Inter are about to receive a nice payday from United for Onana so they can use that money to buy Lukaku for our asking price. Really though, why can’t we offer Lukaku + cash for Barella? A world class player right there that we don’t even appear to be trying for! 😩 Vesper, Blues2738 and Fernando 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too much for someone way out of his depth. He can stay and play cup matches at most , if he’s a regular we are in serious trouble I actually agree with this, he did play way too much but maybe thats because most of the team looked like they didn't care and at least with gallagher he ran around the pitch and tried to put the effort in. 3 hours ago, OneMoSalah said: Gallagher & Mount no comparison quality wise. Lets be honest, we would all of rather kept Mount who has shown he can actually be a quality player if he was going to be in and around the squad and not a guaranteed starter (think Poch would of made a huge improvement on him like EtH will) than Gallagher who runs about like a headless chicken and is technically not remotely close to the level required to play regularly for Chelsea and even for England at international level. But Mount plays for United now so its always going to be that narrative now. @OneMoSalah At no point did I compare the two players quality wise. Mount is a far better player and there is no doubt about that. I was simply saying that Mount ran off to United at the first opportunity he had. All this talk of pulled contract offers and things going on behind the scenes but at the end of the day, he was an academy player and he could have signed a 12 month deal with the club with a release clause in place. At least that way we could have planned for his departure rather than frantically trying to sign 2-3 midfielders. Compare that to Gallagher who kept on saying that he wanted a chance at Chelsea (whilst he was on loan at both West Brom & Crystal Palace). I get that his first season at Chelsea wasn't the best but what did people expect from him? Maybe with a coach that has done well with youngsters he'll be able to grow his game and be a possible goalscorer for us off the bench.

He isn't Haaland but in all seriousness Pizy, I think we could do with a Vlahovic.... he has the tools to compete in the Prem. He is strong and a very good finisher. His time at Juve hasn't gone great but that club has gone through turmoil just like ours has. Potch could be the one to get him up and running again.

ZAPHOD2319 4,942 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I know we are just hearing PR from both sides but if even 1/3 is true, we need to stay far far away…. not that he was ever coming here.

Manuel Ugarte and Milan Skriniar are two of the 6 as he was whingeing about PSG's signings which is pretty crazy if he is ripping them I would LOVE to have both!!! When it looked like we were actually going to buy Ugarte I did a deeper dive and it mitigated my concerns about his rashness and we all know I am a huge Skriniar fangirl I think he is one of the top right footed CBs on the planet atm Edited July 9, 2023 by Vesper ZAPHOD2319 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, may be worth a chance at like £40m or a season long loan with buy option next summer. You could spin that price positively because he’s still only 23 and may still realize his immense potential in a new team. But for £70m+? Nah. We can’t afford paying that for another striker that’s got a lot of risk attached to him. If we’re going to pay big money for another #9 we need to be 100% convinced that he’s going to be a hit.
