Also unless Chelsea offer more than us, why would Everton accept? Our deal effectively includes a free Wayne Rooney. All jokes aside about Rooney being shit, it's a signing which will bring them so much revenue and Worldwide attention. If they accept Chelsea's offer, United could decide to just keep Rooney.

No need to get so upset about the picture that's being portrayed. Sounds like a reverse of Hazard.
Were not the bad guys.
Sky are painting the picture that United and Raiola are forcing his hand to join us, whilst Chelsea are trying to save him.
Bollox tbh.
This one would be much worse, as this one had been broken by all press at the same time with absolute certainty, whereas Hazard was pissing about with hints, and even when he said "Manchester" was his destination, there were still 2 teams in it.
I've already started on mine. Are you telling me I don't have to do it?
Ummmm Jose didn't have faith in him when he was younger? Surely that's a negative?
Can we blacklist that Kaveh person?
chelsea are just crying and trying to make the agent look even more greedy (which he is)
We pretty much all but officially have Lukaku.
Here's Mata talking about Lukaku as a United player: http://www.marca.com/en/football/international-football/2017/07/07/595fad7046163fc7678b45b5.html
"We played together for Chelsea and [Lukaku] has had a lot of good seasons at Everton," the United man explained.
"He knows the coach well, and scores a lot of goals which we hope he will carry on so we can try to win the league."
...Mata/article also talks about how Mourinho is already thinking ahead of how to beat Real Madrid down the road should they meet. What I sense from this is Mata and I'm guessing other team players know within that Lukaku is all but done and just a matter of ironing out the final details and awaiting the official announcement. Just look at what agent Pogba is doing lol, would be an absolute shocker if this doesn't end up happening considering what's taken place as of late. I wouldn't worry at all about the Chelsea thingy; if anything it's just a last desperation move/act on their end to make it look as if they were in it when all along they weren't willing and hesitant to pay the price until United swooped in and stole him. A last act so they can say at least they attempted to get Lukaku sort of thing.

)Nar, he had faith but he also had Diego fecking Costa. Just like Fergie had faith in Pogba but has Scholes, added to the fact that Costa was about a decade younger than Scholes.
He's made up his mind to join United. That is obvious.
Sell him. Pogba out!!
Oh dear, this guy is generally wrong, and even he is at "think" level, rather than the certainties from all a few days ago.
No-one really knows.
Oh to be a fly on the wall between Pogba and Lukaku on holiday now!
I hope they're chuckling about it and we've actually signed it all up!
Who is reporting about the medical?
They must have had some encouragement to bid though especially this late. If they knew he was on the verge of a United move like all the press have reported surely they wouldn't bother bidding. Seems fishy to me this, trying to force Chelsea's hand i wonder.
Chelsea would be to Lukaku as Man Utd are to Pogba.
I take it that's gone through your head as well? To be honest that's the last thing I would think haha.
So basically we are now waiting to find out what type of man Lukaku is.
Is he the mercenary type who is going to join the manager who has already fecked him off so his agent can leach more money out of him or is he a man of his word and is going to choose the reigning champions and club he grew up supporting and the one he has been desperate to succeed at for years.

I mean, that's true, but he's only 24 and being a Chelsea fan he's seen us win many titles as well. Not like he's choosing between United and Spurs who haven't won a thing in ages.
So obvious that Chelsea have just chucked a pointless massive bid in late on without contacting him to see if it's worth it?
Only United in 2013 do stuff like that
- Greater, more prestigious, famous, rich, successful, supported football club not built off a Russian billionaire.
Jose didn't want to lose Lukaku, the player himself decided to leave for first team football. Similar to the Pogba situation among others.
Disagree. Chelsea haven't made him a priority and he will be bothered by that. They have presumed he'd just come to them and they'd have a free run.
It's all about feeling loved.
Not much then really.
Joining the biggest club in the country = mercenary
I've heard it all now.Everton won't even accept the offer, not a chance so he won't even have that choice to make.
Wrong as lukalu said in an interview, it was he who decided to leave and jose was first one to wish him well. They are on great terms.
Remember what??? We were in for him ,then Chelsea won European cup. NEXT day he was on Twitter saying he was signing for champions of Europe . Later came out that fergie didn't wanted to pay agent fees!! Is that why everyone is so confident.. if Chelsea paid fees once they'll do it again. Chelsea seem to always get the deals done. Robben hazard William. I just wouldn't be too confident that We get him. Hope so but id be worried we don't and then we are going to find it tough to get Morata or anyone else that's good enough done.
Why are you here, hellbent on trying to convince us all Lukaku wants to join Chelsea?
No-one knows what is actually going on. But what I do find strange is why a 'Spurs fan' has appeared since this news and is obsessively telling us all how much Lukaku wants to move to Chelsea over Utd.
Give it a rest - you don't know anything.
Got the call to do an announcement video or is he watching Love Island?
JM and RL are very very good friends.
If we get him, and Mourinho points to united badge again in the pics it would be pretty hillarious.
Sky have said , it COULD be done during the night UK time, but who knows what is going on.
London, boyhood club, great wages just like United would offer, current PL champions, good mates with fellow Belgians Hazard and Courtois, plus other French speaking players like Kante, Zouma, and soon Bakayoko. The whole "unfinished business factor.
Plenty of reasons he'd come here.
Like others in here are saying, though, I think it's a done deal for you guys. No way would your club brief the world if it wasn't a certainty.
