Lukaku

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

I think its not a problem as I think he is under21.

It is for the Champions League squads

 

[HantsSeagull]

Don't forget that Gus' very good friend and former team mate Roberto De Matteo is Villas Boas' assistant at Stamford Bridge...

It's a done deal then. Surely?

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Order your shirt!

 

[peterward]

With Drogba injured..... we couldn't possibly....could we?

 

[Seagull Steve]

Why remote? We play good football and Boas has said he won't be loaned to a club outside of England...I think with Gus' influence and the squad we have we are the first club Chelsea would look at to loan him out to

Remote because I think they will keep him as he does not need naming in their squad because of his age. If we did get him, it would be absolutely mint. We could seriously think about promotion with a front line of Lukaku, Vincete and CMS it would be unbelievable.

Could you imagine the absolute FEAR that would instill in our opponents? and that's without Nooney, Buckley, Hoskins and Lua Lua...

 

[Mellotron]

Did I imagine it or was there news of a PRICE FREEZE on STs when the prices were announced for this year?

 

[peterward]

is their any confirmed source of this rumour, or is it just a hopeful suggestion?

Pure hope and speculation. No source whatsoever.

 

[Sam Ovett]

If he signs on loan, I'll be like:

...doesn't quite work but oh well

Just the latter unfortunately.

 

[B.W.]

Bolton will be the club of choice for loaning though. They're not a threat but he will get good Premier League experience playing the type of football that the manager likes.

Bolton - so stylish!

so bad it took ten seconds to work out what the hell you were getting at. this is even with prior knowledge of 'lame pun... creature'

It's so awful I thought it needed to be done

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Even Chelsea would be stupid not to gıve hım a few games off the bench thıs season.... he ıs as much a prospect as Rooney was at that age and who wouldve loaned him out. With the forward line playing the way it is at the mo I would be very surprısed ıf Lukaku goes anywhere.

Saying that, IF he was going to go anyway I reckon we would be close to the top of the list IF we could afford what wed have to pay. As far as I know, Championship clubs rarely get the players totally for free... usually a percentage of the wages and / or a fee e.g. 150,000.

 

[Sheebo]

Stoke were trying to get him on loan till they realised it was against the rules - a loan to the Champs is def not out of the question...

Sadly this is true which means that for the next week or so at least we will have to live with endless speculation and (even worse) the very slight possibility/hope that it might even happen

Thats the exciting part. Just being linked with these name's is unbelievable in itself.

 

[Box of Frogs]

Before we signed Vicente I would have said we had no chance of getting Lukaku on loan. Now the fact that there is even a remote possibility is fantastic and that is surely down to the fact that we now have quality players like Vicente, CMS, Hoskins etc and are sitting pretty at the top of the Championship at the moment!
