If we lose out on Morata as well, good chance he stays at RM, who is still out there for us to make an impact with CL this year.

06 Jul 2017 23:35:30
Belotti?

07 Jul 2017 07:09:49
According to Ed we haven't done anything regarding Belotti other than scouting. Doesn't seem like a real target for the summer. I keep saying it, it's going to be Moussa Dembele coming in for us.
We had an agreement with Celtic in January, but Dembele didn't want to risk riding the bench at Chelsea. Now with Costa having one foot out the door already, Lukaku joining United (plain horrible) and Morata being too expensive I can see the Dembele deal going through. He's about 5 levels below Lukaku, but I guess we want top 4 to be a real tough challenge again :-P.

07 Jul 2017 08:25:05
Dembele will not solve any issues for us. he looks OK in a very poor league.

06 Jul 2017 22:12:56
Lukaku' medical already planned in LA, like it or not united have moved very fast.

06 Jul 2017 22:50:51
Bring back Ron Gourley, this is a repeat of the summer after Jose won the title. Of course we might all be surprised,

07 Jul 2017 07:08:45
He was shocking. Bring back Peter Kenyon. Now he knew how to close a deal!

07 Jul 2017 08:33:46
Now Peter Kenyon was the man, he got a target and wrapped it up asap,

06 Jul 2017 18:50:34
Are any of the eds responding.

{Ed025's Note - of course martin...

06 Jul 2017 19:19:52
Good man / women, what's your take on lukaku united Chelsea situation. I know we go on but events took huge turn.

{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed - move on.}

06 Jul 2017 20:01:36
So what's the deal with Lukaku? Any truth about United having a bid accepted for him?

06 Jul 2017 21:32:28
Ed has said on the Everton page that he's sceptical any deal has been agreed in full at this time but that he believes one can certainly be sorted out.
With regards to nothing changing with lukaku I assume this is with regards to the members of Chelsea that still have reservations about the deal as he has offended people at Chelsea in the past although I coukd be wrong. Chelsea do have an interest in him but it's a matter of convincing a few people.

06 Jul 2017 21:35:18
That person was Emanelo. He's the one whose been pushing to get him back to the club. Maybe Conte doesn't want him and now will focus on who the MANAGER wants? Maybe huh Ed002?

06 Jul 2017 21:40:03
RVD - how long do people need convincing? He was a young kid, probably advised wrongly. Things happen in the past, but that's where it should stay. In the past. Get over it and get on with life.

06 Jul 2017 22:23:39
Couldn't agree more but we don't know exactly what was done or said. At the end of the day there's little point having a player at the club that doesn't have the full backing of the board or staff.

06 Jul 2017 23:15:02
Does that mean that there's no deal for Lukaku with Man Utd?

06 Jul 2017 23:38:19
Nothing agreed or very close to being agreed.

06 Jul 2017 15:11:55
Assuming the links suggesting UTD are close to signing Lukaku are correct and assuming Lukaku is a genuine target for Chelsea but they are going to miss out or move on from attempting to sign Him who would You folks most like Us to pursure and hopefully aquire?

Aubameyang?
Belotti?
Morata?
Someone else.?

Personally all things considered I would be happiest with Aubameyang as I think He's the most accomplished and His game would suit both linking up with the attacking wide players and Our counter attacking style.
He seems stronger than He appears and is decent in the air which is a plus for the Prem to.

All the players are a gamble having never played in England but I think Aubameyang would pose the smallest risk.

Thoughts.

06 Jul 2017 16:54:42
We'll end up with Moussa Dembele of Celtic, which would be disappointing to say the least. Abraham would've probably done just as well in Scottish League if he played for Celtic. Buying Dembele would be weird, but I do think we'll end up with him.

06 Jul 2017 17:11:56
I think we're going to struggle my opinion don't see why we still have costa conte doesn't want him he doesn't want to be here we've been slow to react again and others haven't if he's worth75 million and we're not willing to pay then we won't get the others.

06 Jul 2017 17:13:47
Get a grip boy the window is open only a week.

06 Jul 2017 17:22:16
I haven't seen anywhere near enough of Dembele to give a fair opinion but I personally would rather keep Michy around rather than splash more money on Dembele.

I think if Costa is off then We need a certain level of player to cone in and step up.

Dembele seems more of a rotation option to Me or possibly a strike partner rather than someone who leads the line.

But again someone who watches more of SPL than Me could perhaps make a case for Moussa.

06 Jul 2017 17:32:29
all the players would be good for us, i haven't heard of the fourth person though, Aubameyang would suit the league like a duck to water, fast good in the air, strong, good finisher, i do like morata has a good all round game, i haven't seen enough of Belotti, what i have seen he looks good and i would be willing to gamble on him, if it ment not getting lukaku.

06 Jul 2017 18:12:26
Get a grip who is there that we are willing to pay the money for lukaku is prem tested and we wouldn't pay it so do u think we are going to pay more for a gamble and as we know we've done it before think we learning tho from are mistakes we've missed a great chance and around us are getting stronger it's a great buy for united no gamble great striker proven. It's only just opened yes well done but we are slower than others again.

06 Jul 2017 18:16:15
That someone else is currently tearing it up in La Liga don't You know. lol.

I feel Aubameyang would be the safest bet in the short term as for Me He's the most complete of the players on the list but there is something about Morata that I think could work for Chelsea.

He is imo a much better footballer than Lukaku and will be better for the likes of Hazard, Willian and Pedro to play off of.
I remember Drogba's first couple of Season's not being the most prolific but He scored important goals and allowed others to play, namely Lamps and We Won back to back Titles to boot.

Maybe Morata could have a similar impact for Us in the here and now.

06 Jul 2017 13:57:40
Someone just described lukaku as goal scorer with presence and the first touch of a kerb a hahahah a kerb.

06 Jul 2017 14:45:26
True story 😉😉.

06 Jul 2017 15:06:35
The first touch argument is massive hyperbole as Lukaku has gotten a lot better over the years. People will see it next season when he finally gets some top class service in that United team. He'll tear the league a new one.

06 Jul 2017 16:01:30
He gets top class service with Belgium and has never impressed.

06 Jul 2017 16:55:29
I'm Belgian, and no, he doesn't get top class service for Belgian national team. Trust me on that one. Our attacking play sucks most of the time, it's really static.

06 Jul 2017 11:40:15
nooo i just seen chelsea still in for lukaku, and no utd deal i really really want morata.

06 Jul 2017 12:46:29
I hear ya i reckon united will sign him this seems like a cute move to spark a bidding war lst jose have him morata will suit us a lot morw i reckon conte will be a lot happier with morata.

06 Jul 2017 08:50:36
If chalobah moves to Watford for £5mill I will fully give up on our youth system.

06 Jul 2017 09:30:49
its unreal ain't it. Chalobah is one of our best youth players. with a lot of experience.

06 Jul 2017 11:57:53
Buy back clause?

06 Jul 2017 12:54:46
I've had abuse from my fellow Chelsea fans when I have questioned the clubs use of our best batch of young players that we have had for a very long time. Chalaboa being sold would in MY opinion be madness. We may well look very stupid when these lads are in there national teams at the next world cup.

06 Jul 2017 14:24:36
I could maybe understand loan to Watford but selling Chalobah is madness.

06 Jul 2017 16:03:29
It is very disappointing when we have such a talented youth set up that few ever break through and I think there are two issues. Firstly, many just cannot see the difference being great youth players and talented youngsters knocking on the first team door; I think it is attitude with many of them and believing their own hype. Look at the players we have brought through that have made demands to the club! Secondly, the club is at fault, these players need nurturing when stepping up and given good advice and the Lampard's and Terry's of this world would be perfect for such a role. If the older supporter can remember Lampard saying he had to talk to both Lukaku and Sturridge and tell them that they do not decide they are stars, the club and supporters do and of course both were sent packing in time.
