Romelu Lukaku | Chelsea
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
he also spoke of the managers change of system which leaves no room for him
god ole such an amateur selling the worlds best striker for a mere 75m million
it would be silly if anyone said he was bi-lingual considering he speaks eight languages, most of them fluently
everyone knows a few thickos who speaks 2/3 languages
You have to really question if Lukaku is the full ticket. Very odd behaviour burning bridges so quickly after joining a new team
boyhood team.
I got no time for this guy. Comes to United and says he wanted to leave after the second game (although that didn't come out until two years later), and now this completely baffling interview....He's completely tanking his value and I don't see many clubs willing to take a risk on someone with such a terrible attitude. And you know this wasn't an accident, he really went out of his way to alienate his new club and praise Inter as much as he could. Just bizarre.
So, whilst trying to be realistic, what should Chelsea do with him?
Don't think there's much you can immediately do apart from making him apologise. Reserves is not an option, selling in january will only be possible for a hefty loss.
I don't think there is much you can do other than get him to apologise and get him back playing again
maybe you can fool someone into giving you some decent money for him in the summer
cut losses if possible.
Send him to his love manager Conte and see how much you can get out of him
Tell the fan base to gain some context and just play him. Nice to see players being honest and not just generic feckwits who spout the same boring as feck crap every time they open their mouths. Glad he's not at United anymore that said, he basically downed tools on us and gave an interview on how he didn't like it here.
See… my great fear is that BVB said they would sell if a price was met, we agreed to meet the price behind the scenes, Haaland said no to us as a destination, as a result BVB said our money was no good, and we turned around and laid an obscene amount for Lukaku to save face.
I would of course LOVE to have Haaland … but given all that, I don’t see how it’s possible.
Get rid. It probably won't be much of a loss money-wise. Inter will give you 75-80 million, they get him back and make out with 20-ish million, you put the cash towards a crack at Haaland in the summer.
He scores goals but he's not a good enough player to completely bend over for.
that would be an incredible deal if they take a 20m loss with him one year older and asking to leave - to Inter
Keep him. He's the next Drogba.
Offer a straight swap for Barella
If Kane leaves Spurs this summer, I can see Conte requesting Lukaku as his replacement. That would be an interesting cross london transfer...
Use him as your translator for the next 40 years?
Good call. I think both clubs would probably take that.
Except Spurs would neither want to nor could they afford to offer Chelsea the amount required for Chelsea to cut their losses and move on from Lukaku.
I agree but when you have a direct line to a famous person and anonymity, dickheads are rife.
I suspect Chelsea haven't paid most of the £100m up front, so whatever the down payment was last season it should be easy for Inter to return that and write off the rest if all parties are interested in a quick u-turn
Sell him to whatever Chinese Super League club or Qatari club wants to go for him, even if it means some amount of money lost. The main point is to sell a problem as far way as possible.
let inter have him.back (a bit cheaper) but much less wages as he is so desperate to go back..
China is a no go now, the fun days are over since the wage cap was introduced. Qatar, PSG, City and Newcastle are his only hope now.
i would have taken that one to the grave!!
He's most likely on bigger wages now which Inter won't be interested in though.
According to whom?
Who gives a shit how many languages he can speak when the English that he musters is mostly balderdash.
Once the dust settles, is this as bad as Kepa vs Sarri ? I don't think so. He just needs to put his head down and work hard which I think he will do.
Ring Newcastle. Easiest way out.
I’d say it’s worse than keppa and sarri as that was in the moment adrenaline running through keppa, whereas this is calculated by lukaku
I'd be surprised if he was okay with missing at least the rest of this and next year's Champions League campaign. Realistically probably more than that - I would definitely bet against Newcastle finishing top four next year.
It seems he borrowed Essien's calculator to do that though.
If Didier Drogba was active in an era where Twitter, Facebook, IG etc. were relevant. He would've definitely 1000x more hate than Lukaku.
- Drogba in 2007: "The day I signed for Chelsea I just felt disgusted. I know when I say this people are going to look at the financial aspect of my move but money didn’t count for me. I was unhappy. I wanted to leave after only a few weeks, I wasn’t happy at all.”
- Drogba in 2008: It comes from me, I said what I am thinking, that I wanted to leave. I have been saying that I want to leave since two or three years. Mourinho's departure didn't help, to the contrary it made my desire to leave even bigger."
- Drogba in 2009: "The most important thing is knowing my attachment to Marseille is still intact. I have always said it ... I have unfinished business there"
