I thought you announced him about a month ago in all seriousness.
Got it done
Yep. Full of deadwood on big money. Drinkwater and co. They don't need to move them on though as Roman will pay for everything like dropping 115m on Rom and his 370k p.w wages.
Us revealing our third kit today ruled it out pretty much. We didn't announce Sancho when we revealed our home kit.
I think we would have sold half that deadwood if it wasn't for the pandemic. Chelsea have the same problem other clubs have. Shifting deadwood is impossible these days unless you're giving them away for free.
Right. I don’t know why people think Chelsea are ran perfectly when they are very similar to City. They have so much deadwood like us and are bankrolled by a billionaire.
He's gonna score against us a few times isn't he 
Which is the same situation with us at United. We cant move jones and lingard because they are on ridiculous wages.
Was waiting for this. Nothing has changed from his time here at United. Still the same player and will get his goals but will be a hindrance in the buildup with limited space.
Don’t think most of the fans will be bothered to be honest because most were fine with him leaving.
Clearly his name isn't Hov.
It's bizarre. United have money but still have to operate properly. Chelsea, City and PSG have money but don't need to operate properly. You'd think people would understand this now.
As I pointed out Chelsea are still playing in a shitty 40k capacity stadium despite how long Roman has been at the club and the success they've had. It's literally one of the worst stadiums in London. They don't need to bother with it though as they don't need the money.
Other clubs have to invest in these things to grow. They don't. It's a totally different playing field.
It depends on his first touch
Perhaps more than 15 less than 30.On a different unrelated topic; that is an awful intro video.
Yeah it's not a unique Chelsea problem. Chelsea have tried to shift these players, the same way United have tried to shift their deadwood.
Which is a fecking nightmare now so many football clubs are broke.

He couldn't be bothered to fight, then moved on taking the cash.. he did time in Italy, then moved on.. Chelsea, Everton. etc. He's neither a fighter or loyal, it'll be interesting to see..
People will tell you he’s a changed man. They will say he’s become better at inter. Nonsense. He’s the exact same player.
He cost £100m. Absolutely astonishing.
Yeah it seems like a lot of them will end up leaving for modest fees when they have 1 year left or just seeing out their contracts. There just isn't a market for Drinkwater, Zappacosta, Batchuayi etc at their wages. Lots of clubs around Europe are dealing with the same problem.
This places Chelsea ahead of us I reckon. Straight goals no chaser.
Welcome home Big Rom
Lukaku on that famous school trip to the Bridge.
They still much better than us.
The fee players we sell we get pennys for.
It looks like we are keeping Lingard which is completely pointless.
When was the last time we got a good deal on the sale? Could learn from Liverpool too. They sell shite players for 15-25 million regularly
Lu-ka-ku now officially chelsea player. Premier league proven no.9. We needed him. Welcome home Lukaku. Still five more trophies to hunt this season.Come on marina one more midfielder please.
We got our money back on the majority of our recent departures. Especially the big money ones. We're actually are okay at this, it's getting rid of the lingering ones which is the issue (most clubs have).
City and Chelsea aren't making money on deadwood. They are letting go promising young players.
I don’t mind Lukaku but the high opinion he has of himself doesn’t correlate to what football observers witness with our own eyes every week. He’s a world class goalscorer but his general all-round play is erratic to say the least.
Play to his strengths, however, and you’ve got yourself a very effective player.
Because his first touch is so poor and his close control so wobbly he is extremely easy to defend against. Yes, he can shoot and he will score goals but because it has to be put on a plate for him defenders should have him fairly sussed at this point. He's not the bull in the box like Drogba and if he is involved in link play all you have to do is sit back and wait for him to screw it up on his own.
When he returns to Old Trafford it will be interesting. I like it when former players are still sung by the home fans but in his case, he was such a disruptive asshole that I hope they boo him.

Nice video, makes it all even weird that he signed for us in 2017 when Chelsea and Conte wanted him. Conte was desperate for Lukaku.
He chose it based off his weight in stone.
I'd they are worse, usually have a about 42 players loaned out to Vitesse every year.
Plenty of lads there operating out of the Bogard play book.
Conte wanted him but wasn't the issue that Chelsea as a club weren't so keen?
Fun how you keep ignoring the small fact that Chelsea have invested large amounts of time and money into stadium planning and redesign. The only reason it didn't move ahead was because of Roman's issues with the UK government. You don't pay architects to design a whole new stadium if you're not bothered.
Smoke screen. Just accept it like the other Chelsea bunch here do. You're in denial.
He explained it on Josh Hart's podcast a couple of years ago. He said he felt at Chelsea it was only Conte who really wanted him. He felt everyone at United showed him they were desperate to sign get him.
