Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
Would be an amazing signing but I just don't see them selling to us at all. They obviously wouldn't sell to City or Liverpool now and I doubt they would sell to Arsenal. Man Utd wouldn't be in for him with all the forwards they have which means here it would be between Everton and Tottenham. Everton would never be able to afford him and I think they would just about still see us a possible threat and refuse to do business. Lets hope they don't view us as a threat at all and therefore have no issue in selling to us

Looks like there's no way he'll be signing for Spurs or anyone this summer.

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
It's Lukaku's agent that's talking about it trying to drum up as much interest in his client as possible.
It is not in Levy's interest for this news to come out. Regardless of how many keyboard warriors it may please.

Just saw the Bentekkers news, ****! Really wanted him. I guess he can have his recovery at Villa, get a few games under his belt then join us fresh in January

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
Hmmmmmm
(via Guardian) Tottenham Hotspur have inquired about signing Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea this summer.
Lukaku's agent, Christophe Henrotay, has said that he has spoken to the Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy, about the possibility of his client moving to White Hart Lane, although Everton, with whom the Belgium striker is currently on a season-long loan, appear to be at the front of the queue for his signature.
Lukaku has thrived under Roberto Martínez at Goodison Park, scoring 12 goals in 24 Premier League appearances to help Everton's Champions League challenge, and the club would take a bold step towards a top-four finish if they could beat Arsenal at home on Sunday. Lukaku's ambition is to play Champions League football; Everton want him, regardless.
"I'm looking for a club for Romelu," Henrotay said. "And yes, I've talked to Daniel Levy once, but that doesn't mean Romelu will definitely join Spurs. That's not a talking point at this moment.
"There aren't 20 teams that can afford to buy Romelu. He won't go from Everton to, let's say, Swansea. There's also a difference between Everton that plays against relegation and an Everton that fights for European football."
Christian Benteke, Lukaku's Belgium team-mate, has also drawn admiring glances from Tottenham with the club continuing to monitor the former Genk forward having failed to sign him last summer.
Spurs had been keen to explore the possibility of doing a deal at the end of this campaign. However, that now appears unlikely following the news that Benteke had suffered a severe achilles injury in training on Thursday, potentially ruling him out of the rest of the season including the World Cup.
Levy said on Wednesday that he would "not look to a summer of major upheaval but rather to strengthen in key areas", and centre-forward is one such position.
When Levy sanctioned the departure of Jermain Defoe to Toronto at the end of February, he left the squad with only two established strikers – Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado – plus the 20-year-old Harry Kane, in whom Sherwood has shown faith.
Lukaku arrived at Chelsea in August 2011 from Anderlecht in a deal that was initially worth £11m, with add-ons that could take the fee to £18m, and he was determined to make his mark at the club that he followed when he was younger. The 20-year-old's affection for Chelsea was based, in no small measure, on his admiration for Didier Drogba.
But Lukaku struggled for opportunities in his first season at Stamford Bridge and, denied the chance to find a groove, his form suffered and he failed to score. He was loaned to West Bromwich Albion last season, where he scored 17 league goals and has also prospered at Everton but, despite José Mourinho's expected clear‑out of strikers this summer, Lukaku does not appear to have a future at his parent club.
Everton's push to beat Tottenham to Lukaku this summer could be aided by the bad blood between Chelsea and Spurs at boardroom level. This dates to Levy's refusal to entertain Chelsea's offer for Luka Modric in 2011 and it was evident again last summer in the fight to sign Willian from Anzhi Makhachkala. Chelsea won and they revelled in snatching the player from under Tottenham's noses.

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
This. I also think we might be happy to play along in the hope it might take their eye off who our real targets are (in terms of perhaps them needing to sell before they buy which might stop them gazumping us so easily a la Willian)

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
Depends how much Cheat$ki give a **** anymore .. really looks like the PL will settle into a 2 horse race (City/Cheat$ki, I don't believe Pool will sustain for a number of reasons).
They have FPP, they will probably let Lukaku go if a decent, early offer comes along, I don't really see them feeling threatened by us.

Yep they do not worry about us, it is why Mourinho is always nice about us just as Ferguson always was.

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
Eh? Did you see how much he smirked when they hijacked the Willian deal? Also did you see how dismissive of us after the 4-0 a weeks ago (about how we pass, pass, pass, but don't threaten)?
No I don't buy it that Mourinho/Chelski don't feel threatened by us. Yes they'll finish way ahead of us this season, but they know the gap between us is not insurmountable at all (given that we finished above them 2 years ago, and were only 3/4 points off them last season). Where we don't challenge them is wages, but there are only so many players (esp young) that they can buy and loan out and they know this imo

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
I think that was more about 2 fingers up to AVB, on a personal note.... although he may have had some concern at the time, ie we had just signed the Beatles... now he knows we signed the boomtown rats, he would see us less as an imminent threat.

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
But a fit, motivated Lukaku could easily make us challengers. Mourinho has done some mad things this season alone, but selling us Lukaku would be the maddest. He'll know despite the way our season has gone that it wouldn't take much for us to challenge again next season with a good coach and instilled strategy (look at Liverpool; they're squad is not as good us ours imo, they are just more settled).
Nah, move along people, nothing to see hear..:-"

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
Yeah I just do not think they are threatened by us, they like to take the **** out of us. I kind of think everyone does but maybe I am just overly sensitive. If they sold Mata to man u I think they would be fine with selling Lukaku to us.
As someone else said the FFP rules will make them sell him to someone.

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
But we were supposed to be challenging this season, and who know who we'll lose in the summer. I think he'll always know there's a potential threat, but I we're at least 2-phases away of being a threat.. at the best of times.
But I think the coach/manager decision will dictate the outcome this time. If we got LVG, I don't see it happening.
If Tim stays, I can see it happening.

Sh1t, I didn't realise Lukaku was almost 1 in 2 over 142 senior league games at age of 20:

I knew he was a handful, but I didn't realise the end product was that good. Absolutely baffling that Mourinho - the man who made Drogba - seems ambivalent.

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
I say that, and to be honest, I'm not anti Tim, far from it... but I think it's a possible scenario, and brings me to the my own conclusion over what's best for the club.
If you are any one of the current top4, who's going to give you the biggest worry, even at the end of next season, Tim or LVG?

Re: would Chelsea sell us Lukaku?
His end product is good but his all round play still has a long way to go and that's why IMO Mourinho will sell him. He is very raw but the potential is best served at a club that will allow him that development.
Chelsea is not that club and I thought that from day 1, but I also thought they would at least play him
They have ear marked better finished articles and whoever buys Lukaka will pay a big chunk of that fee
It's the same thing Madrid did replacing Ozil with Bale... Fine margins but an improvement none the less
