Are you forgetting the part that made him leave the club in the first place? It's easy to be critical when you look from one side of the coin.

£65m + Remy (whatever one believes he is valued at) if the story is true smacks of desperation. Lukaku is not worth close to that amount. I think the players that leave will be Conte's pick but I am still not convinced the buys are his choice.

Thing is he scores goal yes he needs to improve his touch and back to goal play but he scores and he's still young money seems to of become stupid all over this year he costs what he costs we aren't paying and he has the potential to be a top player and is young enough to have real sell on value yes probably not going to be good enough in latter stages of CL but we have to get back in first i wouldn't be to upset with it he's built for prem and our 3 attacking players would all have good rapour.

I agree completely C1915, even setting aside his first touch issues the biggest problem for me is his work rate is terrible as he usually walks or just stands around when on defence, there will be no pressing with him if these rumours are true. And why haven't we been smarter to sell talented youngsters with a buyback clause, apparently we typically just add a sell-on.

1. Lukaku was young and Didier was there to guide him. Lukaku had a typical young mans attitude and felt he was better then he was.

2. Didier left on his own accord. Wanted to go out at the very highest. Lukaku wasn't happy playing second fiddle and wanted a first team role. Didier was the ideal man to come back and settle the team etc.

3. Costa is a top notch striker. Didier was past his best.

4. Costa isn't going anywhere so Lukaku shouldn't be seen as his replacement.

On a side note - if Romelu's attitude was better and he bid his time he'd be one of our main strikers now. It seems he he wanted everything too quickly and far too young. Hopefully he's learnt from his mistakes and comes back and does the job that we originally bought him for.

Can not see why anyone needs to be sacked. Surely that's saying Alex Ferguson should have been sacked for not playing Paul Pogba and United are now on the verge of paying £100m to get him back!

this isn't the Man U page I don't care about ferguson or pogba or Man U, this is Chelsea, mistakes have been made at board level, scouting level, buying and selling, from what I have read we have a Bunch of people sat around a table making stupid decisions with a little bit of input from the coach/ manager, if your happy with the club and there decisions great good for you, but there's a lot of Chelsea fans I speak to who are not happy with certain signings or certain selling of players.

I'm bored with my negativity, but I think it's justified sadly,

Pathetic Cat. Pretty sure EVERY club rely on different people on different levels and roles having an input into buying a player. Not just the manager!

Have no other clubs made mistakes then? So just Chelsea have made mistakes with transfers. Guess Lampard, Drogba, Duff, Etc were all mistakes. Jesus mate tarring a lot of fans with the same brush. Every person and his dog can see that our buying policy has changed. There's no harm in that.

I guess you won't be celebrating if Lukaku pops up with a 90th minute against Spurs one day then?

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh and also aren't At Madrid trying to re-sign Costa having sold him. Oh and they also bought Filipe Luis back! And Real Madrid buying Morata back. Jeez, think they need to sack their back room staff too.

C'mon fella's hows about a little bit of optimism, Conte is a top manager (just look at what he did with Juve and Italy) . We have some world class players which ever way you cut it and irrespective of last season they won the title the season before, so they know what it takes to do it. Costa looks like he's staying, with Lukaku possibly coming in and Batshuayi that is a world class strike force which ever way you look at it. We will get in a new CB and possibly another RB/ LB, throw in the youth players that Conte looks to finally be giving a chance and we are looking pretty good if you ask me!

so its not so long until the west ham game.

Previews and expectations everyone?
could be good to ask now and the day before, just to see how people feel as we get closer to gameday and the season!

Really disappointed we haven't signed a CB were desperately lacking pace at the back personally of its 4-2-4 I'd go with this as a 4-3-3 but I don't think Conte will:

Courtois; Aina, Ivanovic, Terry, Azpilicueta; Chalobah, Kante, Fabregas; Willian, Costa, Hazard.

Agree1 Disagree1

03 Aug 2016 12:09:41
Like the look of that team GardenOfEden. If it's 424 I'd drop probably Fabregas and start either Cuadrado on the wing and Hazard up top or Batshuayi up front with Hazard LM/ LW.

Ed002 when are you coming back? We miss you!

Amazed at the number of Everton fans who think they could sign Costa if Lukaku joins/ get him as makeweight in the deal!

I also don't know why they would think Lukaku is obviously worth £70mil and talking about how to spend it already.
