Lukaku

Gwladys St. Glory · April 9, 2014

Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but I'd like to know what the four fingers thing to Roberto was about...only thing I can think of is that's how many more goals he needs to reach his total from last season (was 17, I think).

Do u think rom will only join if we get CL football or do you think he would still join as long as we get europe ?

Im not sure if jose would sell to a club who is challenging top 4 ie if us and juventus both put in the same offer i think jose would take the juventus offer

Gwladys St. Glory · April 9, 2014

One thing's for certain, our success using young players with great potential bodes well for us maybe being able to lure some away...be it Rom or others. I can think of one right now I'd drop a grip on, if it would secure him.

Except he might think Lukaku can do more damage over a season to Chelsea's competitors (by playing for Everton) than he can to Chelsea in 2 games..........

Honestly, I don't wanna' say...too many faceless lurkers on here, especially media. I'm sure Roberto knows of him, I just don't know the kids situation...bags of potential, though. I don't mean to be arsey about it but he really excites me and I'd rather keep him on the down low for now.

Gwladys St. Glory · April 9, 2014

I know it sounds all cloak and dagger...I'm just superstitious with certain things and I really like the kid.

DailyFail reporting that Sherwood is getting the boot at Spurs and that it was him that wanted Lukaku as well as Barry this summer.

I thought that sign was Rom telling RM that Ossie should only play for 4 minutes each game.

Genuine point though is how many top young players in demand end up in Italy nowadays, especially for 20m type fees?

Same with Germany too, only Bayern have that sort of history on paying a fee in that region, think Dortmund record transfer is like 15m

Spain have maybe 4 clubs that could, of which Barca and real won't be bidding, leaves English and moneyed French teams who are already packed full of forward in Monaco and PSG

Actually IF chelsea have set a value of 20m on him and we have it, their not gonna be too much competition - spurs and arsenal who i don't think mourinho would sell to in a million years and the others he'd be in the same rotation boat as at chelsea

Lukaku will not move anywhere that he won't be coming in as the number 1 man, and that rules out a hell of a lot of teams that may have wanted him, think in the end it will be a relatively smooth purchase actually for 18-21m
