Tbh I don't get why any of the so called top clubs would want to sign him. I know Juve are in a bit of a mess, but they could surely get someone else.
Romelu Lukaku | Chelsea
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
because unless we sell Vlahovic or someonelse we don't have money to spend
Without CL + 10+10 fine from UEFA we have to sell lot of players to bring down wages and annual deprecation
So we can't exactly waste money having both Vlahovic and Lukaku and then praying to sell Kean or something
Sadly Exor aka Juventus owners said stop to money wasting
Why are you even trying to get rid of Vlhahovic? Is he pushing to leave? Lukaku's wages won't be cheaper than Vlahovic.
I wouldnt. He had a bad season cause of pubalgia.
There are rumors that both Chiesa and Vlahovic said that if Allegri wasnt fired they wanted to be sold.
We couldn't fire Allegri cause that would cost 40m euro and plus we have to lower wages and annual deprecatio. So they made 2+2. Even if you sell Zakaria and Mckennie you wont make much.
We have only 3 good players that are expensive on books and could be sold which are Bremer,Valhovic and Chiesa.
There you go rumors and shit.
But as I said I'd keep them all and try to sell lower value players. If worse came to worst some promising youth to raise funds.
I guess the management wish for selling Vlahovic for 70-80 get a cheaper replacement (Lukaku 37.5) and even if wages are higher save the difference for the books.
Season not even started but with Allegri still there I am already disillusioned regardless of who may join or leave.
Saudi Arabia did the rest.
40 million euro fee is why.
Maybe Chelsea should direct their attention to a number 10 and just use Lukaku as a backup to Jackson.
He must be realizing now that no one wants him. Might as well stay and try to win the Chelsea fans over again.

Imagine being this unpopular as a footballer 
Do Everton fans like him at least?

Man, he sure knows how to piss off a lot of football fans/clubs.
Part of me wants a Rom redemption at Chelsea.
He's a numpty but he's our numpty. He need to keep his trap shit, hand over his social media passwords to me and I'd have the fans back onside in a month.

All well and good until his attempt at a first touch.
I’m actually starting to feel a little bit sorry for him It’s weird, he has great attributes but I think his biggest issue is mentality. He’s not a big game player, and not a player that deals well with the huge pressure that comes in big moments in big games. I think he’s had enough high profile stinkers to back that up.

He’s not a big game player, and not a player that deals well with the huge pressure that comes in big moments in big games. I think he’s had enough high profile stinkers to back that up.Basically he is/was a good top flight level goalscorer (similar to a Jermain Defoe or Villa's Benteke type) who tried to PR himself a world class striker.I’m actually starting to feel a little bit sorry for him
And in fairness, not only did many football fans fall for it but paid professionals running football clubs did aswell, I'm almost impressed.
He is in a different class than those in fairness. You can rely on Lukaku to bag plenty of goals vs the weaker teams.
His track record of stinking up big games crazy. That Belgium Croatia World Cup decider will go down as something special.I’m actually starting to feel a little bit sorry for him
It doesn’t help that he slags off nearly every team he’s played for, sometimes while he’s still at the club.
I think the backlash may be overzealous (Player talked to a club about possibly joining them ? Bad optics, sure, but probably happens every day) but he really didn't help himself with that extended bit of "I have only one love and it is called Inter" right after landing at Chelsea.
CF market is so tight now there's maybe someone willing to bet 30-40m on him before September (that was Inter's bid before they retracted, IIRC) ? Perhaps a team just a tier below ?

I wish Chelsea saves us from making a mistake and refuse any deal with Juventus.
Because the only reason Juventus management wanna do it is to make the books look better financially.
Force him to go to Arabia please.

Did Rommy ever clarify why he did a 180 on signing for Inter overnight?
Presumably they just wanted him as a backup to an ancient Dzeko, and when he saw that they were only offering a salary befitting of a not-so-super sub, he threw his toys out of the pram.

Nothing weird here. He acts like an ungrateful clown. So of course he is hated.I’m actually starting to feel a little bit sorry for him
Loan him to Roma who need a striker? At least he'd be with a manager who likes him.
And those misses in the CL final.
This guy has to be the most hated player in the history of football
Jokes on them because Lukaku wont join them to become a second GK.
That's an incendiary caption if I ever saw one.
Could see him go to a midtable club and go on a hot streak revenge tour, perhaps.

Never has a player played with us for 2 full seasons as a first team player that I've felt so disconnected with.
There is literally no feelings towards him, good or bad. It's as if he was never here.

Come home Big Rom.
Don’t get me wrong I completely understand why a lot of fans don’t like him. I just think he’s had so many tragic moments in big games that it’s hard not to feel a tad sorry for him. When Belgium badly needed a goal to stay in the WC and he blew those horrendous chances I thought he might just retire altogether it was that bad, and he looks so distraught at the end. But like I said, he’s a bit of a big game bottler, probably only rivalled by Higuain.
I do feel sorry for him now but how do you manage to be disliked at most of the clubs you played for? He's got an odd character. Can see Lukaku ending up at Everton on loan, either this summer or in 1-2 years.
I thought you all hated him as well?
You gave him a ton of stick the first time he played for us against you.
Nah, just football fans being fickle when a player leaves and because he said some arsey things about us but as a player he was amazing for us.
What a huge drop in quality in his game. I dont even get it, he was unplayable at some times earlier in his career on now he cant do anything it seems like. Needs to find a club at a lower level, and be the big fish again i think.
He is not doing himself any favors either by alienating himself from every fan base.

I guess Everton is the only fanbase left he can turn to.
feck off. He wanted to be at Inter, then Juventus five seconds ago. Now that they don't want him he wants to be in England. What a moron
He’s like 32 isn’t he? Napoli should be giving them the old ’2 year loan with an option to loan him again maybe’ offer
