Didn't we reckon earlier in the year the Chelsea were going take the bullet for us in the case of Lukaku?
I guess we want to know if his heart is set on a Chelsea return. If it is then we can quickly move on to other targets.
He's not.
Yeah, only 20m pounds too
Only if Costa leaves which isn't guaranteed.
Maybe they have chickened out.
Yes he is, he has the first touch of an elephant, doesn't hold the ball up well or link play and has poor movement meaning with him in the team you have to concentrate your whole attacking system on playing to him, it will be like Ibra with a vastly inferior footballer.
Perfect for MourinhoBall then
Another possibility with this whole seemingly sudden change is that perhaps Zlatan and his agent have indicated he intends to move on after his injury and they have only just finalized that decision. So that means we have to adjust our plans a bit. Granted it is not the story the press is running with, but it is not like the press does not often get the basic story right but then spin the details wrong.
Alarming rate of muppet suicide at Redcafe.
Why the feck are you lot Fellaining Perisic? he isnt the issue here at all.
He's like that at his worst, yes. At his best he's unplayable. He's not worth the figures being touted but he's quality nonetheless.
How many goals did Lukaku score this past season?
He's never unplayable, Blind has pocketed him with ease, he's the guy that pads stats in games where the team is already ahead, he'sd not nearly good enough to build a team on if you have PL and CL aspirations.
Pilip26 league goals. 1 penalty.
Good post, its easy to get caught up in the muppet bandwagon but honestly what you've said here makes sense
So why are we too good for him?
Would love Lukaku, imagine him burying all the sitters that Zlatan missed last season. We're talking the guts of 10 points there.
lives out your way, is a bit of a smick (belfast term) but seems to have some decent connections
Well surely they'll throw us a lifeline with at least one of him and/or Perisic. Hardly fair if we ended up lumbered with both.
Lump it to Fellaini and Lukaku
This is why the remote control was invented!

Glad to see the muppet blindness is in full effect 2 years later

Its Phil de Brun. I'd trust Balague over him
I'm sure he has connections. Its just funny to watch journos stepping over each other for attention. Reminds me a bit of Crocks feasting on Wildebeest during the great migration.
This has to be bollocks. We weren't sure if Ibra was staying in the first place so how would a knee injury suddenly change our transfer plans?
Yeah I mean we have Lingard and Zlatan with one leg, we will be alright
Not sure if people are suggesting, who he scores against and what the score is when he scores. If they are decisive goals or just feasting on teams who are already beaten? Don't know if anyone could find that out.
Costa will stay now. Chinese clubs got that extra tax and Atletico banned from making transfer market. We've got a free run at him this summer I think
I suppose if Zlat has said he isnt staying, it would change it.
Maybe they expected him to stay, based of what Mou said. He gave his list of players in March, it would be before Zlatan's injury so maybe they have had to re-evaluate signings
That, or its complete and utter bollocks
Exactly.
Why does that matter? We all play the same teams throughout the season and you could ask that about every striker. Didnt Kane pad his numbers near the end in some dead rubber games?
I know but still those players ain't going to be put us into title contention. If it was just them attacking-wise we signed by the end of the window I'd honestly be happy (and pleasantly surprised) simply to see us finish in the top four.
