Lukaku to Everton, done deal. 5 year contract - £25mil.

what happens now?

What a joke 25 mil in 3 years he be worth double that ridiculous decision oh well if he doesn't want to play for the badge I guess no point him sticking around. really hoping for a new big name to come in to appease the loss though a pogba or a reus will do lol

That's exactly why it was strange that he was training at home in Belgium recently. He counted as a homegrown so we still need to offload an overseas player before we can buy again though unless we go for another homegrown player

rumours now rife that Cavani is being lined up.
I don't know know the in's and out's of this quota thing being mentioned but I work it out that another player would still have to leave if we get another in?.

Lukaku has interest from Wolfsburg and Everton. Surely that tells you that big clubs want nothing to do with him and his attitude. 4 strikers possibly costa has one. Lukaku could of been our second striker got games and played with the best and under Jose. He would rather be a big fish in a small pond. He doesn't want to fight n learn; £25m is good,

2 overseas players must leave if we get another overseas player in.

6.) 30 Jul 2014
But leave as in be sold or can they go on loan?

One foreign player out for another to come in. Talks of Mikel, Torres or even Ramires going.

We are currently 1 player over our overseas quota, Lukaku does not count as he is classified as homegrown. Therefore 2 would have to go, either on loan or sold for 1 more overseas player to come in

Cant see us moving for another striker unless Torres leaves. We have 3 atm, not to mention the need to sell an overseas player first.

Apparently Lukaku wasn't willing to stay and fight for his place. Torres will probably be going back to A.Madrid, Hopefully we can make a move for Cavani or Higuain.

I'm not a Chelsea fan, but I would be interested how you see you striker options if you don't sign another forward. Costa doesn't have the best injury record and if he gets injured you are left with Torres who's confidence is shattered and drogba, who I would imagine can't play too many games at hos age, I assumed drogba was brought back for lukaka to learn from, it would of been the his perfect first coaching job, training a player with similar attributes, who idolizies himso this transfer makes no sence to me

Disappointed in this news. He qualified as home grown (?), was only 21 and was a regular 16 goal a season player in relatively poorer teams (Everton & Wigan) Would have been good to keep him with a long term view. His attitude must have been really p**s poor for us to sell him, but maybe Drogba could have helped there (?), Especially to another EPL team. I think this may come back to haunt us.
