Romelu Lukaku

Costa moving would start a chain of transfers just like dominoes. If he doesn't, which I hope is likely, then Rom may ultimately stay another year.

He defo (Costa) will be on the move. He has no affinity with Chelsea.

Is this actual fact or just your thoughts based on press and hearsay etc.

If so my thoughts are the euphoria of being champions and a very decent crack at champions league may influence his decision.
This is not fact just my thoughts.

As @suey_11 rightly mentioned above, right now it's purely press speculation that is suggesting that Costa's move is nigh on certain to occur.

He's going to be a Champion again, in a team where he plays a pivotal role and under a manager who'll give them a great chance in Europe.

Obviously he may be swayed by the cash of China but will that bring him happiness? Unless it's Atléti calling I'd expect Chelsea to be confident.

If he stays then I'd sincerely doubt Rom would go there to play second fiddle as I sincerely doubt that Conte would accommodate them both.

That only leaves a probable destination of PSG or perhaps Manure, but the latter I feel more unlikely as they aren't getting to get CL football.

I get that impression too, think Emanalo would love him back but not sure Conte wants him. They may go for him if they can't get who Conte wants though.

I have a hunch Conte will buy Icardi

Agree, I think Morata and Belotti are his 2 top choices.

Alvaro Morata says he will work with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte "sooner or later" and his next move will be to the Premier League.

"Conte is the manager who most 'bet' on me, without even ever having had me in his team. I'm very conscious of that: he bet on me for Juventus but left before I arrived; then he wanted me at Chelsea come what may.

Morata is his boy. He will be Chelsea's first port of call.

I hope all the descent speculation is right and he stays. A new keeper, centre half, cover in midfield and a better foil for him up front and we could be top four.

Best striker I've seen at Everton, I'll be gutted if he goes.

A backup plan they've already had a £70m bid knocked back for.

Jesus wept.

Wat are you talking about?

Wat are you talking about?

Paul Joyce - there was a £70m bid for Lukaku by Chelsea that was rejected.

Hardly says backup plan does it.
