Let's say we've got the money to buy him.
I'm not so sure Chelsea would be willing to sell him. My guess is that they'd rather have him back.
Lots of ifs and buts here, but if Chelsea's other strikers did well this season, they may not see Lukaku's return as urgent.
And unless he was wanted by a foreign club, especially one that Chelsea doesn't see as strong competition to their CL
ambitions, I think they'd be picky about who they'd sell to. I mean, if he was to stay in the Prem' they wouldn't want him to go to any of the Sky favourites.
That would put us in a strong position, unless we had such a great season on the back of his goals that Chelsea saw us as
competition.
The fee would be the obvious problem, but maybe we could offer them a big sell on deal if they agreed to a price we could pay.
I did say there were lots of ifs and buts.
Btw, has anyone mentioned the commentators remark during the Villa match? He said he was doing the Chelsea v City
match on Sunday, but that he "might be watching Chelsea's best striker here."
