DH1988 1,352 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Jype said: Impossible to say without having taken part in the discussions... IF it's true that Dortmund would only sell Haaland this year for €200M then it's absolutely crazy money compared to anything Lukaku would go for. Not only would the transfer fee itself be €70-80M more, but also taking into account Raiola and Haaland dad's ridiculous agent fees the difference would easily be a lot more than €100M. We also don't know the wages Haaland would command, earlier there were some silly rumors about him being after a minimum of £400-450K/wk which would no doubt also be 50-100% more than Lukaku's wage. Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love having Haaland and I'm sure the club would too. It's been widely reported that Haaland has always been the club's number one target for this summer, so if the transfer doesn't happen then it was clearly never a realistic signing to begin with and the club have abandoned the pursuit because it's either not financially viable or Dortmund just really don't want to sell. If Haaland is off the table, Lukaku is a great alternative. Of course, you could say that about any transfer really or rumour, none of us work for the club etc. even the figures you've quoted there are within a measure of whats been rumoured, first it was €130m, then £130m, then... xyz, so on and so forth. We don't know the wages that Lukaku would command either, being arguably the top striker in an under performing league for two years. We are UCL winners, we are not short of money, we are doing an awful job at offloading hangers on and we are losing some talent in the process.. Its shaping up to be a very disappointing summer on the back of a huge elation with us, yet again, not backing a winning manager. Also, I am so so so disappointed we haven't backed Tuchel so far, he is by far, personality wise and coaching wise, my favourite coach. I'd hope we learnt from our Conte debacle, yes difficult prickly manager, but he took us to a league title none of us thought we'd be in for that year. Bottom line, nobody knows the figures, but what has been quoted so far, to me, a fan on a forum, believes that we could achieve with our financial muscle. Considering Haaland would give us years at the top level being so young, its a safer long term investment than say, as I said, Lukaku who has played since he was young, had fitness issues and arguably has 2-3 years left, with us losing Alonso potentially, in the process.

Classic Chelsea A bit extreme, even if Rom was here for 5 years Jude would be 22 at that point. If anything a striker of Lukaku's age gives him a better chance as a potential opening will arise at the perfect age. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,272 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel 'ready to sell 12 players' including Callum Hudson-Odoi https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1471241/Chelsea-transfer-news-thomas-tuchel-callum-hudson-odoi-tammy-abraham-premier-league-news The likes of Erling Haaland and Romelu Lukaku have reportedly been tailed by the Blues this summer, the kind of players who are not simply purchased on a whim. Thankfully for Chelsea, their tendency to loan out fringe players normally leaves them with a substantial amount of ‘deadwood’ in and around the squad. To raise the kind of funds necessary to land one of Europe’s hottest strikers, there may be next to no deadwood remaining when the window slams shut, with a 12-man transfer list reported by The Telegraph. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/08/02/romelu-lukaku-back-top-chelseas-new-striker-wish-list/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do nothing to address the problems up front and just pray for Werner, Havertz find their shooting boots for the next few seasons and that Broja and Soonsup-Bell develop enough over the next 3-4 years to be regulars at age 21-22? JSB is 17 and Broja is 19. If anything, getting a 28yo Lukaku should be great for them. By the time Lukaku is 'finished' (which most here think is in 2-3 years because all footballers supposedly turn shit after 30) they're still at a decent enough age to start getting more regular game time.

Sarri damn near destroyed him and at that time it would have been over £100m Tuchel re-invigorated his career, plus he thankfully recovered from a horrid run of injuries if Lamps had stayed and just lumped on we would not even be having this interaction both Sarri and Lampard completely misused him my recco of selling was based of that continued mis-use and his continuing run of injuries I stand by it FOR THAT TIME I put myself out there A LOT, so I am bound to be wrong on occasion but overall I would stack my record up against yours any day of the goddamn week whats happening and Milan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,823 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 This deal does not make a lot of cash for Inter. They still owe Man Utd 40M for Lukaku and a 25% sell on fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
