So....just so I don't have to check thru several pages of board criticism and speculation of a 'good week' without anyone seemingly knowing what this good week may consist of, can anyone kindly fill me in on the latest on the following...

1) Jela still going to Hull? (fee agreed & still due for talks?, has he has a medical ect)
2) Johnny H on his way? (has anything concrete come in with regard to him coming off the wage bill?)
3) Any incomings, been linked with a few strikers? (is it a case of free-ing up the wage bill & getting some transfer money in?)
4) any confirmed interest in anyone, other than wild speculation?

Thanks in advance guys(y). Sorry if I'm being blunt and to the point but I refuse to get involved in some of the moaning and negativity on here, more so given the excellent season we are having & the exciting future we surely have with Martinez at the helm & an excellent squad at his disposal.

We have signed McGeady
 
Let's be realistic here... IF...... And it's a very big IF...if LUKAKU was to sign it wouldn't be until the summer anyway I shouldn't think. Honestly can't see it happening myself but hey ho.... I never thought we'd get him on loan.

Not necessarily mate, from memory i think we signed howard permanently whilst he was on loan to us during the January transfer window

thats what i thought , but the fella was not having it, id say we would be looking as you say at least £15 mill it will be just one of those wild rumours but twice today people piped up with it, i dont think its correct myself.

Errrm why exactly??

You remember the press conference and Blue Bill going on about having some money for him to invest mate in the squad, negative spend of 14m or more says a lot different

But yeah utter nonsense and the board have backed him to the hilt mate, without fellaini being sold we would have had Kone and alcaraz in this window and the barca lid, but yeah utter nonsense that he wasnt backed to the hilt like ^^

If we signed Lukaku on a permanent for the next five years, I'd be bouncing around the room. He's nowhere near what he's going to be and he's still a potent weapon.

Don't think it will happen but... one can hope.

With you on that mate.

However, it's so unlikely. Like you way, he's nowhere near the finished article yet is still so good. He'll end up at Real Madrid or Barca. Imagine him in a new-style Barca in five years, the powerhouse striker surrounded by two tricky attacking wingers.

Still, if we do get him for sub 15m we could always flog him for 3x that when he hits his peak, so it'd be win-win. But don't expect the club to be so forward-thinking.

Don't know if it's a question of being forward thinking. More of a question of why would Chelsea get rid?
