Does FFP now mean that Chelsea will have to try and make a few quid in order to fund future big money moves for Falcao or Costa etc.?
If there was no FFP they could just loan him out again but it seems they want to cash in.
Lukaku To Join Spurs If Chelsea Land Costa
- FJ
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho would be willing to let Romelu Lukaku leave for Tottenham at the end of the season if they can sign Diego Costa.
The relationship between the young Belgian and Mourinho has soured whilst he has spent the season on loan at Everton.
Mourinho has told Lukaku that he won’t be first choice striker next season as the Portuguese boss plans to delve into the summer transfer market to sign a new number nine.
Atletico Madrid hitman Diego Costa is top of Mourinho’s shortlist and reports claim he can sign the Brazilian-born Spaniard for around £31.5million.
According to the Daily Mail, if Chelsea can pull off the deal, he will let Lukaku leave for rivals Tottenham but would not sell him for a loss.
He signed from Anderlecht for £18million in 2011 but Mourinho would be willing to look in the excess of £20million for his signature.
We really should be praying Atletico sell Costa to Chelski. Not only would that mean Chelski would be willing to let Lukaku leave but it also means Atletico will probably target Soldado to replace Costa.
Why, for money?
I still think Soldado has promise, plus more importantly I don't want to be back to the position of our only bench option is Kane
Lukaku/Ade +Soldado is nice front line.
no quotes in that article, unfortunately so i wouldn't be paying too much attention to it.
also read somewhere that Everton fans aren't that impressed with him as a player (outside of goals) and think he's pretty lazy
A new striker is not the magic pill that will solve what's wrong with the team.
Its like covering a cake of **** in some fancy icing.
Fix central midfield, sort out the mess at the back.
But Tottenham fans have a hard-on for 30m plus strikers and wingers.
Levy/Sherwood knows this and is leaking this Lukaku/Benteke crap to the press and you are all lapping it up.
