Romelu Lukaku | Chelsea

We didn't sign him for £100 million or loan him back for £10 million but OK.
You signed him for €100M and he just went on loan for €8M... So it's exactly €92M. The tweet was a bit generous.

They signed him for 115 million euros, which was around 97.5 million pounds back then.

Think overall 90 million is true though, at least close to it. 97.5 million pounds is what Chelsea paid, Inter paid around 6.5 million pounds loan fee and with add ons it might reach around 8 million pounds.
 
It's not often Chelsea lose so much money on a player. That's a United thing. Even Kepa has had redeeming moments in that blue shirt, Lukaku walks out alone and unique.

#NotForEveryone indeed.
 
The reaction in Milan is decidedly mixed. Poor Rom might not get the love he expects.
 
Guess the hope is he'll play well and be able to then get a fee...in that case the loan fee and then paying his wages makes sense.

Certainly the transfer market karma to the Hazard deal...
 


Apparently he is going to try revolutionary diet that includes not eating and drunk stuff like fries, Coke, etc.
 
Reminds me of cyclist Mads Pedersen's legendary weight loss plan of "eating less and shitting more". Really cutting edge stuff.
 
Chelsea fans are enjoying that relief that we had when we finally got rid of him.
 
Isn't Chelsea pretty strict when it comes to the fitness part of the game, why did he get so fecking fat? You expect Chelsea to better than inter in this regard or at the very least not worse.

I already had that feeling in 2014. For your sake hopefully you're not silly enough to go gor round 2 :lol:
 
The article says his ideal weight is 101kg. Wtf? That’s 220lbs. And that he weighs more than that now. He’s a big chap but I find it hard to believe he weighs north of 200.

Don't think it's hard to believe at all, the guy is gigantic, with massive legs and buttocks. There were newspaper articles from back when he was at Anderlecht as a teenager, because he had cut down his weight from 100 kilogram to 97 to be more agile. That was him at 18 years old weighing 100 kg and he looks massive in pictures from that time, so yeah...
 
I expect him to have a very rapid drop off as he gets older, being overweight and lazy is never likely to have a good influence on longevity.
 
Why post homophobic twitter tripe? "Story going around", "another homo relationship". Fantastic stuff, really.
 
I hope Chelsea fans love watching Lukaku or selling him for 15m next summer

 
What difference does it make to Chelsea fans how much he is sold for?
Funds. Youre in a fight for top 4 now so every penny might count. There comes a time when your striker black hole has to stop, you’re not oil backed anymore. You must still owe Inter a good 60 odd million yet that needs to be paid as well.
 
Didn’t realise he’s 30 in May!

£100m. Must be up there with one of the worst transfers of all time? Another loan to Inter next year and he’ll go for a nominal fee. Also looks like injuries are now creeping in which was always going to be the case for an explosive player with such a big frame.

Disaster.
