geat signing. thank christ.

The lad seemed really settled at West Brom last season and was keen to return.
Honestly I think if we make him feel welcome and he does well I think he might want to make the move permenant.
he just doesn't seem to fit at Chelsea from what I have seen. his penalty on Friday was a case in point. just a hunch I guess.

I can't remember when I was this excited about a signing, maybe the other week with Deulofeu?

This lad is the real deal though, he got 17 PL goals for WBA last season, he could easily get 25 for us this season.

That Liverpool forum is hilarious... they are more obsessed with us than they pretend to be. Funny that half-way through they start laughing about deals collapsing and are then forced to back-track desperately.

Havent got to the bit where we get him yet, but no doubt he's not really *that* good and besides you need good players around him or something. On tenterhooks here.

there total wallys aint they

saying how we aint rivals - despite us finishing above them for the last 2 seasons
saying how we are paupers - despite us finishing above them for the last 2 seasons after they have spent how many hundreds of million ??
saying how we payed over the odds for mccarthy - despite us finishing above them for 2 seasons after they spent how much on henderson carrol downing etc ?

deluded really doesnt do them justice

Call it blind optimism or whatever, but I reckon this will end up permanent.

Bad bells the lot of em. They were more interested in Everton's transfer affairs than this place.

I'd be hesitant about setting any targets like that. Obviously his goals will be important but I think he'll be a perfect foil for others to get in as well. Type of player who will preoccupy defenders all day long leaving space for Mirallas, Deulofeu etc.

Deulofeu, Mirallas, Baines, Coleman and Barkley all feeding Lukaku.....amazing

Immensely happy and excited about this, remember watching him for west brom last year and being really jealous they'd managed to bag him

Obviously a great guy around the dressing room too, look how many teammates/former teammates sent their good luck messages on twitter so soon after it got announced (he retweeted them) - west brom players too putting any bitterness aside about him not re-signing for them.

the best striker we've had in years....lets provide him the service and make him feel at home

The way Chelsea operate there will always be an expensive marquee signing joining them, I'm not sure Lukaku will ever be there main man. So, if things go well I suppose we have a chance to sign him permanently - providing we can match his ambition.

Moyes would have loved to have broken him.

They won't be looking forward to defending against Lukaku again and they won't like that we've got him one bit.
