If it's a loan then it MUST be a loan with an option to buy, but how does that work seeing as he's out of contract next summer? Would he have to sign a new contract with Chelsea? Watch those bastards give him 125k/wk just so even if we can afford the fee we won't be able to pay his wages.

He's not out of contract till the end of season 2016 when he will be 23 years of age and that is key for if a player aged under 24, at the end of their contract is offered a new contract on equal or better terms then the club have in effect retained the players services.

Yes the player can give notice that they don't want to sign that new contract but any club that then signs the player has to pay tribunal agreed compensation

If he goes out on loan I would expect it to be on the back of a new 5 year deal and yes his wage would probably be elevated. As we discussed yesterday a player on loan is still paid by the owning club and whilst of course the club that take the player on loan will have to pay monies for the loan there is nothing to say what % of the players wages will be paid if indeed any is paid at all.

So we'd have to pay £25m for him and any other team could sign him for free? Bye bye Rom.

Assumed a deal would already be agreed by player and selling club in this case because of the higher value. Can right anything in to a contract.

More importantly is this even right annoy it being last year of his contact? Surely not?
 
So much speculation and hype, the truth is none of us has a clue what on earth is happening, we are in absolute limbo. Do we know if Everton have spoken to Chelsea, cannot speak to Rom until then. Have we made Chelsea an offer? Reckon it is no in each case so like I said we know buggar all.
 

I keep coming in here every time a few pages are added quickly in the hope that something's happening with Lukaku and nothing ever seems to happen. Not even a jarg rumour from twitter made by someone with a name like socceragentitk420 FFS.

I have lost the will to live over this business.

It is like Lukaku is hoping for a move somewhere but only to us if nowt better, in the eyes of his agent, comes along.

I don't think the fact that Lukaku is on holiday has owt to do with it.

The negotiations will be between Lukaku's agent and EFC....he will have little or no input beyond informing the agent weeks ago (if not at the end of last season before he went to the World Cup) that he is up for a move to us in the event of nothing better materialising and to sign a piece of paper at some stage.

IMO we are being played and at this stage of the proceedings, just over a fortnight to go before the big kick off, I could care less oif he never plays for us again.

Unless a deal has already been threshed out behind the scenes and he is committed to coming here, this saga is hanging over our pre season like a bad smell.

It is time for Lukaku and his people to make their move and let us get on with planning for the new season, be it with Lukaku or without him.

Maybe but you could say those hypothetical things about every single player.

We'd have got Champions League togger if Howard had saved all those shots for example.

I think it was down to a lack of creativity in midfield personaly, just think it's as important for this window as a good striker is
