Romelu Lukaku

[ijjysmith]

The timing of this release absolutely stinks.

Why now?

I don't really have an issue with him wanting to join a Champions League team. It was obvious.

I don't get why this needed to come out now.

 

[Ernie]

£60-£70m I'd be quietly confident of

So he will be in the top 6 most expensive signings ever

Gutted but that's football. If he hasn't re-signed by season's end then we have to sell to the highest bidder and bring in at least 2 replacements.

Another lesson learned that it's only us fans who care about a club really.

Walsh seems very limited to the Premier League going off the last 2 windows, We will get Deeney or King

He was involved with bringing people like Zola Drogba Flo Essien and others at Chelsea

 

[hktoffee]

Wonder how long before he goes on strike

He can take advice from J-Lo.

 

[Ernie]

Maybe one of the Milan clubs looking to make a statement now they have cash again. If PSG are after Sanchez as reported, no room there for him. Bayern dont have room for him.

Has anyone thought of Arsenal?

There will be 2 clubs at best after him

Chelsea and one other, We better hope the other club want him badly or we are stuck with Chelsea holding us to ransom

 

[Eggs]

...the club's stance on this is important. If we are to be rolled over other players will want the same deal. The power these days is with the players but the club still needs to have value for money benchmarks.

The same way Andy Carroll is one of Britains most expensive transfers? John Stones and Sterling for £50m

 

[ToffeeTim]

He's been taking the club for a ride and playing games with the club that made him a household name so hopefully Ronald plays some games of his own and let's Rom enjoy Saturdays game from the surroundings of the main stand.

 

[Ernie]

He was involved with bringing people like Zola Drogba Flo Essien and others at Chelsea

How involved? Did he target them personally

Also we don't have the pull Chelsea did or have

 

[LocalNative]

He has to be benched.

Can't afford to mate.

Besides, we all know that he could play at a higher level. He can either stick around for a long-term project, or go for it now. I wouldn't begrudge him leaving for £70m.

 

[Goat]

And? It's all negotiations bro.

Hopefully Browns.

 

[Ernie]

The same way Andy Carroll is one of Britains most expensive transfers? John Stones and Sterling for £50m

English clubs signing English players for mad sum shocker

 

[orly]

He's been taking the club for a ride and playing games with the club that made him a household name so hopefully Ronald plays some games of his own and let's Rom enjoy Saturdays game from the surroundings of the main stand.

Hopefully he has played his last game for the club. Anything else is cowardly caving in

There cannot be many Blues who are surprised at the apparent news today. He has been pretty consistent in his wishes to move up a notch or two, but I just have a hunch he wants a club away from the Prem.
What confronts us now is an indication from the boardroom that we ourselves have advanced somewhat and can attract players that can do a job for us.
I am full of utterings today commenting on how teams have got over similar setbacks, Keegan with that lot being a prime example. It can be done.
