He listened to my desperate plea to stay?

If it was between just him or maybe three players that total 25m...I'd probably have to choose the latter. I think replacing his 15 goals a season plus two other acquisitions would be possible for that amount. We've got Europe coming up so we will need bodies. In an ideal world I'd love us to keep him AND sign a couple more on permanent contracts.

I think that's what we're all hoping for, TBH...

The 25M or whatever the price will be will not be paid fully this summer, most probably 5-10M down payment and the rest spread for few years

That makes for nice transparent accounting ie cash payments match amortised depreciation expense item

£15m plus add ONS.

This.

Chelsea may well use Lukaku as leverage to acquire Stones or Barkley? That's what I would do were I in their position. Isn't there some rule that clubs have to have a certain % of English players? And with Terry and lampard on the way out, won't they need to replenish their English stocks?

hope not It would be nice to spend 20m on Lukaku and maybe another 10M signing +some loans

yes, I hope not too mate. I was just thinking aloud (in writing) about Chelsea's strategy re leveraging Lukaku

Cole is also leaving mate remember, not sure how chelsea are positioned on the English quota though due to the amount of young lids they bring from abroad maybe qualifying

This is far more of an issue for Manchester City. There's a big rumour on Bluemoon saying that they are coming after Leighton Baines for this very reason, but it hasn't been mentioned much at all on here.

Presumably his value will be affected by his WC performances. I fear we will be priced out of the market , and I wouldn't want one of our best players being used as bait

He scored 6 goals past arsenal, rs and man city this season... Havnt had a striker like that in years. He is a big game player ... Like mirrallas... I'd pay anything upto 25m
