There were always cases of us being subbed. Shearer, Kluivert...

Chelsea can't "swoop in" when United are the ones who swooped in and hijacked Lukaku.
Not our fault they thought they'd be the only bidders and eventually get him at cheaper than what Everton was wanting. And now they're in desperation/excuse mode caught with their pants on the ground. You snooze you lose
You've signed him already? Congrats.
Could be that Lukaku is a smokescreen for Chelsea's long time target Wayne Rooney.
The more I think about it...
Completely relaxed about this. He's on holiday with Pogba discussing the transfer. He's a United played.
No, I made it out that Lukaku firstly prefers his boyhood club and would prefer a return to Chelsea than Man Utd. You started talking utter garbage about him "not feeling loved" and would snub Chelsea because of a late bid.
I then pointed out Mourinho sold him and that would play on his mind. Not that I know what's on his mind, but you had no problem guessing so I thought I'd use your (daft) logic against you.
They wanted to offload Costa first.
Oh the drama!
This. People forget Pogba probably can't stop talking to him about United.
How is another club. Making an offer for a playing something that Ed can possibly have control over???
What an idiot. At this point if Lukaku signs for Chelsea it is because he would prefer it. This no longer has anything to do with how good Woodward is at his job.
Is this Abramovich saying to Conte "we did our best, the player rejected us" ?
He goes where he wants. If he comes great if not that's up to him no drama.
The beauty of this saga is how it shows which idiots to ignore in future.
we paid the agent to 'sell' Utd to him. If Lukaku, who also pays his agent, says he wants Chelsea and nothing is going to change my mind, then all Chelsea need is to pay what everton want, and not the agent
I'm the only one offering any facts. You're just making incorrect assumptions.
ah ok, fair enough.
Isnt Raiolas percentage set in stone? Im pretty sure you can't just decide to not pay an agent and I can't see Everton footing the bill.
Has Everton even accepted the bid?
Has Everton even accepted the bid?
Oh the drama!
If the Chelsea bid has not been accepted then legally they cannot approach him.
We need to know if the bid has been accepted.
Can anyone clarify that Everton have accepted the Chelsea bid?
Anyone?
Anyone?
There'll be some deluded Evertonian somewhere who still thinks he's staying.
Oh the drama!
Big Rom's out on the lash with Pogba
Nothing has been reported about that. Not that I've seen anyway.
Wrong. They just need Everton's agreement to talk with the player, they don't need an accepted bid.
Lukaku is still going to Chelsea apparently. His first touch took him to Man United for a minute but he's back on track now.
When was the medical arranged for ? Wasn't it today ? We didn't hear anything after that.
Assumption 1) "Chelsea have been skimping on the fee". They matched our £75m bid.
Assumption 2) Lukaku will not feel valued because they took a long time in making a bid (farcical and daft, given they have full backs to recruit ahead of a striker and he'd obviously understand that).
Assumption 3) He'll pick United.
As I said, take 5. You're lost.
It would be a massive u turn as it wouldn't have been filtered out into the media if Utd wasn't sure they had their man. That said, we've seen last minute u turns before.
As per simon stone of bbc they have offered to match united's bid. So technically there is no bid. They just promised everton to pay a minimum of what we are paying just to get permission to talk to Lukaku legally.
This is fine. I wanted Morata anyway. The price for him will be hilarious now though.
Whoever decided to brief the media about our "deal" for Lukaku is an idiot.

I was referring to the JM and RL relationship.
You have made massive assumptions. Incorrect ones.
Well he got Griezmann and Morata wrong. That said, in football anything can happen, so it's best to stay out of it tbh.
It did bite me in the back and it's not worth it. It's okay that you never believed me, but I am not a person who lie because I think it's funny. That's just not who I am.
I haven't made any assumptions. I just spoke about an unwillingness to play for Mourinho when you started throwing your mindreading bullshit all over the park. Obviously I don't know what Lukaku is thinking, but if you can throw bullshit, so can I.
What happens if, Chelsea outbid us and Everton accept but Lukaku says he wants to sign for us?
