Never let's you down this place.

I thought I'd have a nosey to see the usual "He's shit, garbage, bad buy, only worth 30 million post"

I wasn't disappointed.

Anyone who thinks he won't improve the ****s is a fuckin idiot.

Yep, they might get 5th this year.

 

[BusterPhillips]

i doubt he will be as effective as big nose was though.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

He's exactly what they need. A perfect mourinho player and the type he manages to get the absolute best out of (see Drogba, Milito etc).

So why didn't he give him a chance first time round,why loan him out and eventually sell him?
Not a dig,genuine question.

 

[Rammyblues]

When Lukaku came on the telly and said his future sorted everyone immediately put him down as replacing Costa, but what if all along it has been the scum and Morata is in addition to Lukaku. Really need Chavs to up their game.

If I was Chelsea, I'd call their bluff on a higher figure.

If I was Chelsea, I'd call their bluff on a higher figure.

If I were Chelsea i'd offer £60 mill, and they don't have to take Rooney.

Thought Everton wanted £100m pound for Lukaku and not a penny less ?

Would still be 75m in the media if he went to the rags

Quite simply he didn't believe he was ready at the time and that he had better alternatives for his team. Lukaku was just 20 and although very talented was still new and unproven to the premier league at that time and mourinho would rather trust a proven player even if they're in their 30s than an unproven young one every single time regardless of their talent. Of course there was speculation that he wanted to be a first team player and not a rotational one and mourinho wasn't happy about that so loaned him, same situation with de bruyne

Why are so many headlines saying deal agreed by utd for Lukaku, when it's clear from Everton NO deal has been agreed, very strange.

Sounds like Rag PR trying to pressure them.
