Calm
Well that's exactly my point. Just how many on here were fretting over Lukaku for the last few months?
If we sign Atsu, and there is a chance that it could become permanent then great, I'm all for it.
Hopefully that will be the case.
If Chelsea have made it crystal clear that we have no chance of a permanent deal at the end of the loan, then it's a swerve from me.
What you're saying isn't strictly wrong, but I think you could look at it very differently.
Of course in an ideal world it'd be ace to have all our own players, but having Deulofeu, Rom, and Barry last season helped us finish 5th, and probably helped us buy Lukaku full stop.
If Atsu helps us get 4th, then we will have more money to spend next summer.
