Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
Lol look at the state we are in? Er, we've been in the top 6 all season, despite a constant crippling injury list and bedding in a host of new signings. Not to mention one of Europes most reputable coaches almost certain to take over in the summer. This place really is littered with drama queens....

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
yeah, but, go back 12 months, it looked like we would be challenging for the title this season
we have fallen far below reasonable expectations
that's where the ire has come from

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
Who on earth expected us to be challenging for the title this season? There was only one player who had got us to where we were last season and that was Bale so how were we going to be challenging for the title this season? Even with Bale we came 5th. Reasonable expectations would have been to be challenging for a top 4 place which we were in the mix for until the past couple of weeks. Look at most peoples predictions on here before the season started and you will find a lot were saying 5th/6th.
We havent fallen far below reasonable expectations in the slightest....

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
Haha, drama queen, ok. We don't exactly come across as a very professionally run football club when we sign 7 new players in a summer and barely manages to get anything out of any of them over a season, sack our manager mid-term and replace him with a novice. The fact that we "might" get a top coach in during the summer might of course be a draw, but at this point, nothing is "almost certain" about that. A lot can happen between now and mid-July. We're not going to be in the Champions League, as opposed to a few other teams that quite possibly are going to be after him if Chelski decides to sell him.
I do hope we can get him, of course, but I don't think we currently look like a football club who's going to attract the top talent out there.

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
I just noticed on the fantasy football site that Lukaku and Defoe have played an identical number of minutes (4,144) in the Premier League over the past 3 seasons!
Lukaku
43 starts + 23 as sub
29 goals from 144 shots + 15 assists
143 minutes per goal
Defoe
41 starts + 32 as sub
22 goals from 143 shots + 7 assists
188 minutes per goal
and for comparison:
Torres (5,836 minutes)
63 starts + 29 as sub
18 goals from 129 shots + 22 assists
324 minutes per goal
Adebayor (5,689 minutes)
64 starts + 9 as sub
30 goals from 142 shots + 19 assists
190 minutes per goal

He has the physical attributes, but does he have the same drive and hunger that Drogba did? Only time will tell, but if Jose is willing to let him go you have to wonder.

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
probably Mourinho feels Lukaku is just too young atm and not ready to lead his attack.....he tends to like men, players with experience

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
I think Mourinho values defensive work ethic over all other things, it's one of his few flaws, and the reason Lukaku isn't playing for Cheat$ki right now.

i know what you mean but im not sure reported targets Diego Costa or Radamael Falcao will work any harder defensively for Mourinho than Lukaku would.

Haven't they just fallen out? Thought I read Lukaku questioned Mourinho in pre-season?

Costa works very hard off the ball, he's like Suarez.
