Definetly would have a good time with Cole/Malo/Noni, 1/1 can replace or rotate with Jackson. I firmly believe Osimhen has nothing to offer what Lukaku cannot. He is 31 only, team starts to look good, perfect time for him to jump in and repay some. Absolutely not, I cannot believe you have posted this. Lukaku can never play for Chelsea again. He is a disgrace, a toxic disgrace who will try his hardest to ruin everything we've got going on. I wouldn't even let him train with the other players, or be in the same building as them, if it can be at all avoided.

Vesper 30,224 Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 as predicted Real Madrid could re-ignite interest in Chelsea star Reece James following injury comeback https://www.football-espana.net/2024/05/12/real-madrid-could-re-ignite-interest-in-Chelsea-star-following-injury-comeback they will end up with one of these 7, more than likely and a HEALTHY Reece is the best of the lot (and the 2nd youngest), due to TA-A being so shit on defence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel we are going a little too far with this, he is a football player, let's not make a satanic figure out of him. He is just a football player who always trying to be smart and - with the help of his parasite agents - always pushing for the best available positions, publicity and contracts. Both of his spells here were very disappointing, but we invested lots of money on him, and now there is one spot in the squad which he seems to be tailor made.

Unless we receive some crazy bid, I don't see what we risk by trying to reintegrate him to the squad. First of all, Nicolas Jackson is outscoring Lukaku in the league over the last couple of seasons, and is already 10x the footballer with the ball at his feet. And he's like 10 years younger. He makes better runs and plays more intelligently. This would be a horrendous downgrade, of the worst kind, and the exact kind of signing that old-Chelsea was famous for. All of this is irrelevant given that he is toxic and would break the dressing room, and make interviews speaking out against the club, the manager, his fellow players, and whoever else he feels like. All while pining for a return to Inter, or a move to Juventus, or perhaps he will announce that actually he has unfinished business at Manchester United. I cannot imagine a worse signing for the summer transfer window than Romelu Lukaku, and by the same thought process the fact that he currently is on our books makes no difference: the priority remains to get rid of him, and he is only still HERE because no one wants him ffs.

Thank you. No one is denying that an in-form Lukaku is somewhat useful nor that this team could need an experienced CF who can lift some of the burden. The problem is not his ability (even though 100m should get you a far better striker obv) but his personality. If he were able to play the big brother role and be an experienced back up who comes in when stakes are high, for the kind of match that outright suits him like Giroud was (sold him 2 years too early -.-). The problem is that Lukaku is not able to play this role. He is just as immature as Jackson, threw his toys out at the first opportunity, has damaged his reputation with the public, the fans and the dressing room as well as being the opposite of a role model in terms of workrate, attitude and professionalism. He has not grown up one bit in the meantime as his transfer saga last summer and his petulant behaviour at Roma repeatedly shows. If he were the same limited but useful player he is while being a regular professional, I would be happy to have him and not even be salty about the 100m we overpaid. But he is a little kid who thinks he is a superstar and should be treated as such by everyone. Not just for us Chelsea fans but for the sake of European football I hope he just fks of to Saudi asap bc he stands for exactly what is wrong with football in the first place.

I did not mean to replace Jackson with him, more like an addition as we only have one striker in the squad. Jackson was overused this season without having European duties. One striker must come, and if we cannot find a good candidate then we can try Lukaku, that's all I'm saying. Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't understand why is Gallagher always used as must sell for profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 Other than the obvious (a proven striker) I wonder if the club should prioritize another CB with a shit load of experience to replace Silva rather than going really young there?
