Chelsea have pulled a trick here that none of the other big clubs thought of. When FFP was announced they went mental for buying top young talents, before the rules came in to play. Now they've got a load of sellable assets to get them through FFP.
£50m for David Luiz? Seriously FFS? Hopefully Lukaku is just another asset to boost their transfer fund.

Something I have been banging on about for a while.

Targets drive behaviour and FFP offered all sorts of options and challenges to clubs and where their owners have survived in the sort of environment that Roman has had to move and shake in the likes of Platini really isn't any sort of opponent.

When you think WBA & now Everton have paid in the region of 40% of the transfer fee paid by Chelsea for Lukaka. Even if they sold him now for what they paid in their accounts they will show a very decent profit.

Unfortunately, money makes money.

And according to Samuel et al, we're the bad guys for abusing the loan system.
 
Said it before. There's no way lukaku is signing for us. There was a chance if we got CL but that's all it was.

If, and it's a big if, we have money ringfenced for him we should go out and buy a couple of decent strikers. Or one beast and get traore on loan again. Naismith did really well last year but he was at his most effective when he had lukaku in the forward line with him.

3rd highest goal scorer in the Premier League behind Suarez and Robin Van Persie since the start of the 12/13 season.

3rd.

20 years old.

3rd.

FFS people he IS worth £20m. At least.

That means even with the touch of Stuart hall and no left foot, he's better than aguero, sturridge, Rooney,
 
I think it's quite easy to put into context why he scored 15 goals last season. He was the first choice lone striker for the 5th best team in the league. All teams who finished above had at least 2 viable striker options.

I think a fit Louis Saha or yak playing in our team last year is 20 goals.

Can you imagine it if we signed him?

In all seriousness, I will be over the moon if we signed him, and it is a possibility with Martinez in charge tbh. All down to Chelsea, let's hope they sell at a good price because they get very good deals when they sell.

He is better than Sturridge mate although a different type of player to all 3 you mentioned. The lad scores goals and will get better. Can't see the problem here
