I'm still feeling positive about Lukaku.

I don't have any solid reasoning for that, just a gut feeling.

The one thing that does worry me, though, is that Drogba is only going to play for one more season.

Filtered through a paranoid Evertonian brain like mine, that sounds like "Don't worry, Rom. It's only a season. Then his shirt is yours."
 
It's that hug wih Nartinez. That wa pure like solid gold male hotness.

Lukaku is a good one.

Deal done. Bongo style.

He probably heard that last year when Eto'o was brought in.

Also Torres still has 2 years on his 200k contract and Abramovich is either a fan or he has good blackmail photos as there have been no rumours of him being shown the door.

Because Drogba would effectively be brought in solely as a coach with his place as an actual striker as sporadic as Giggs as player-manager - I can only think of one reason Drogba would be brought back and it'd be as a bone to prove to Lukaku they want him at the club; hoping to make him conveniently forget the £32m striker they bought as first choice a week or so ago.

If Lukaku is smart, he moves to a club that gives him first team football at a good level.

you really think they would get someone in on his wages just to be a coach for a player they can't even be confident will still be there next month?

Torres is off, apparently. Atletico Madrid are "close" to signing him. Now the Drogba return makes sense and so do the recent comments from the Chelsea camp that Lukaku stays.

Doubt it Torres is allegedly on £200k per week, with 2 years left on his contract, that's nearly £21 million pounds plus the reported £16 mil transfer fee, Atletico just don't have the finance to do a deal like that.

Apparently he is "only" on 175k a week but principle still holds, unless Torres takes a huge wage cut AM will never be able to afford him.

FWIW Mail claim that Drogba has been texting former colleagues about coming back and that the player/coach role will mean his salary will fit better with FFP terms.

Jose never signed lukaku and has never spoke that highly of him tbh. As shown with mata, if your face doesn't fit with him then he's got no problem letting u go. Especially now FFP is running and leaving a valuable asset doing nothing is not really an option.

Costa, Torres, Drogba and shurlle who can play up top. There's also the small fact that a certain Edison Cavani could well be available.

Still quietly confident on Rom. Just hope he actually wants to come back!!
