Word has it that it is Emenalo who is trying to sign him, not Conte. So I don't support in entirety that "Chelsea" are after him.

From everything we've seen in the press, there is little to nothing to suggest Conte is even interested so don't be surprised to see Lukaku in Everton next season and you guys will be here still, telling us why he is hotter than all strikers.

Conte was not interested. It was Emenalo ringing Lukaku everyday to discuss tactics.

Nihilist be having an open season

Lukaku to Chelsea looks HIGHLY unlikely.

With the much publicity going on that Lukaku will make a return to Stamford Bridge, Man United have been doing their business under the radar without stress. Add to it the fact that Lukaku's agent is Mr Raiola, Mourinho's friend. He is the agent that brought Mhiki Ibra and Pogba to Old Trafford. He is the master of big money moves to OT and United is always willing to pay his agent fees as long as he makes a deal happen.

Lukaku is definitely going to Old Trafford.

Guys forget about Lukaku. Let's all look forward to another 'rumour' and hope it materialise.

And if Costa and Conte reconcile, the better. I wish it happens sef. Both of them go respect themselves. Last season, Conte brought out the best of Costa. He fought less and scored more....until that head spinning offer from China in January.

On a good day, Costa na unstoppable beast and we saw that last season. Make him chill abeg. Quality world class strikers no dey market again. But if he insist on going, I support him 100%. Conte no do well.

like I always say. Costa is a very intelligent striker, he is still not finished. The problem is that not all coaches can put up with his attitude on the pitch, if only what he brings to the pitch outweighs his attitude but it's vice versa for Costa..

Nihilist:


Lmao

Not everything these sites carry are real.. Some are speculation to generate unnecessary tension. I no dy believe this things till I see the player having medicals..

Nihilist be like

Some Chelsea fans trying really hard to console themselves that Lukaku chose united because of raoila and agent fees, because raoila has the capacity to force Lukaku to a club he really doesn't want to go. .

OK mate

The very same agent fees that you all were happy to pay up for Eden Ikedia

Nihilist is on heat

You don kuku talk say you go troll me. So have a happy one.

Let's just be thoughtful for a moment. Meanwhile, shey we all remember that the summer started with stories like this.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3751206/chelsea-transfer-news-romelu-lukaku/amp/


£80m was the fee being thrown about. Some quarters even believed we already agreed an £80m fee. I think I remember even Ibime commenting that only Ronaldo level player should be bought for £80m.

This morning though, we are hearing that Chelsea match United's bid of £75m.

Think about it.

According to my source..

The media might play it like there was a real race but ultimately Lukaku clearly chose United.It’s the truth.

It’s not just Raiola getting more money. Lukaku’s wish was to join Manchester United.

guy paper go dy write to sell, even sky sports that quoted conte is not pushing for lukaku is now claiming conte is fustrated about losing lukaku..

To me I knew lukaku is not coming to Chelsea the day he addressed he has agreed a deal "with a premier league club that will play in UCL" I don't believe Chelsea matched man utd offer. That was a ploy to keep man utd on their toes to accelerate the deal..

With others choosing their striking options fast, Chelsea may be left with Olivier Giroud.

I'd rather play Luiz as a striker instead of G!

It's selective retention bruv. This is what happens when the media sides with an agenda one has. You find people select the reporting that sides with their belief, and ignore the reporting from the same outlets that reported earlier counter-arguments.

No one is asking this morning why we repeatedly bid £80m earlier this year and now we are matching United's £75m. It does not make sense.

Definitely, at least one of these stories is completely false. Which reinforces my point, no one had a clue.

If we are matching £75m as at today, what did we bid before? Why was that figure not reported? Or are we matching £75m this morning because we never bid before? How come we never bid before? This deal was reportedly signed, sealed and delivered.

nateevs:
During last season, I stated we need upgrades in the positions of Cahill, Matic, Moses and Pedro.

If we truly have £80m to spend, we should tempt PSG for Verratti. If we have already secured the services of Rudiger and Sandro as claimed, and money is tight, we should look at cheaper options - Ousmame Dembele and Insigne. Then get Llorente on a cheap and tell Costa Conte's phone was hacked.

And I think I will be fine with that squad. Quality in first 11 and in depth.

Ayaf nefa read sometin so funny!!! Hehehehehe

He did very well in the early part of last season. He was committed. Fought less. I believe Conte is the right man to bring out the best in him. Let them just settle their issue if today's rumour is true.

We bid between 55m and 65m last year sir. Do you want me to dig your old posts regarding that as well?

Makes sense.

I've never thought of it from this angle.

Bottom line: Lukaku has never been my ideal striker. Watch him flop in OT. No be Mou again? e just remain 2 seasons for him there o...

Let's just go for Auba please.

Auba -> Belotti -> Morata in that order...

nateevs:
Most of the Lukaku fans don't judge Lukaku based on the likes of today's game. They wait until he scores. I repeat again, this a potential colossal waste of some £65m. Abi wetin dem dey quote.

If we have £65m to spend, why don't we go after Mbappe? Sell Batman and promote Tammy.

Reportedly bid 80m

bigkesh:
Pietrorico and Funlord better travel to Manchester and beg Woodward not to screw it up


I will so torment their lives

So you actually think chelsea dry gin actually stands a chance in a bidding war against manchester united? It seems you have forgotten that lukaku even feels slighted over the fact that chelsea turned him into another "loanto" instead of allowing him shine 1st time around? And why would everton risk losing the chance of signing rooney in order to gain the impotent batsuya or costa agbero for that matter? You think emenalo works for their board?


Nigga this is a pathetic face saving move by chelsea that is destined to fail! If in doubt put money on it! Read and weep nigga!

Not all of them stayed silent. Some have been consistent, based on facts that are very easy to observe. You will expect up to 95% of teams in the PL to line up against Everton thinking they can win. Therefore, no one's going into those games parking 11 men behind the ball.

Conversely, you will expect the crudest of tactics against Chelsea. Constant annoying sh1t like man-marking Hazard, 13 men behind the ball etc. Do I see Lukaku constantly playing in a packed opposition back-line, where clever movements, swift one-twos, flicks and tricks are required to unlock these defence lines and score goals? The answer is a flat NO! There is nothing as yet about Lukaku to convince me that he possesses this in his locker.

And I cannot for the life of me understand why this is not so clear. Danny Murphy has not considered this in his analysis. And I can understand not every pundit has what it takes to analyse from a big-team perspective.



I really wish Lukaku good but please not at Chelsea. Certainly not at £65m. 23-year-old with 144 career goals in the PL. How many 23-year-olds can boast of such record at this age? None! True.

However, this is the sort of scenario you see Real & Barcelona going to war over, with agents all over his family members, offering deals to anyone, and flirting with him publically in the press, just to get the new sensation to their grounds. I see none of that happening. Alarm bells!

Where are Bayern, PSG, Monaco, United, City, Arsenal, Liverpool..... All those who should be all over this chap who was breaking records at 21? Nowhere near.

And the reason is very clear to see. The flaw in Lukaku is greater than the sum of all good he brings to the game. EOS!

80m

Selective retention

Blah blah

And you're certain Auba or the guy from fvckin Serie A won't flop?

Morata is an unknown quantity and I never supported his signing! Belloti has ripened but torino are being _stupid! I don't believe in fantasizing so all those sign messi, suarez, neymar, lewandowski, ronaldo crap never makes its way into my posts!


Lukaku may be a jam body but he scores goals and goals are what we need! He will score a lot of goals at united and if he has to elbow faces, send his knees to jaws or slap people to score them that is fine by me because goals are what matters with strikers!


The only man that understands this here is nihilist...that is why he was the only one who felt bad when he was sold almost 5 years ago! At 24 his goals to game ratio is ridiculous....

Arsenal 5th place: Lacazette... United 6th place: Lukaku...












Chelsea Champions: Llorente.
