Didnt i told u yesterday lukaku almost confirm to everton? Haha.

This guy b****ing alot abt these and tht..im sorry costa wasnt even a starter at atletico and looks where he is now? La liga winner and ch league runners up.
Earning himself contract with a top 4 team


Ffs he needs to fight for a spot!! He isnt a Zlatan to begin with

This post has been edited by syazwan: Jul 30 2014, 11:09 PM

I didn't expect everton willing to put huge money break club records as well.

But I do agree with you he is bs lots and self proclaimed perfect striker.

Andre shurrle....

Really disappointed with LUKAKU, i thought he is a CHELSEA fans that dream to play for CHELSEA !! How can he expect to be CHELSEA main striker when he himself choose not to fight for his place and show his worth ? Feel like he himself does not believe he can replace COSTA thus taking the easy way out to EVERTON.

JM re-signing of DROGBA also one of the problem, should not have do it unless TORRES is confirm sold. Without DROGBA, he almost confirm 2nd striker but now he feel like he going to be behind DROGBA and become 3rd choice.

But in the end, LUKAKU ego is bigger than the love for CHELSEA. Totally disappointed, never even have the ball to stay for 1 season to prove himself.

vanGinkel lipoting in.

Mo salah says hi

dont think drogba is ahead of torres in starting order. should be costa - lukaku - torres - drogba. drogba arrival not really affecting lukaku as a 2nd option for striker.

Wishing lukaku good luck at everton. wish that he got some fighting spirit inside him.

If got i wanna join too

I knew he'd score that fk

Costa power CF. Pity torres no return ball. He should never left KOP. Ppl always feed him.

That goalkeeper pass till corner tho

#33 Alex Kalas lipoting in!

Lukaku is done deal.... kinda a disappointing that he didn't bother to try and fight for a place... he's still so young.

for fantasy sake, i would like to know
where is Cesc being deployed..behind the striker? in that case based on the line up..
he is behind Torress...operating more like a 2nd striker?

he will play the lampard role i think.

He play DM and AM (Number 10). Depending on the game i think. Today he is No. 10.

On side note, I saw Torress far on the left. Almost like LFW. Maybe SS on the left.

matic goal.. costa 2nd assist

and he got the freekick for fabregas

This post has been edited by yokoloco: Jul 31 2014, 03:04 AM

say farewell Lukaku...

Good luck to Lukaku (Everton) and Bertrand (Southampton)

Who's next to leave us, Marin, Moses, Mikel or Torres?



This post has been edited by Gaia34: Jul 31 2014, 06:29 AM

All of them..

We got decent squad at the moment..

Somehow i feel glad lukaku left

So we have 3 drog costa and torres.

Hehe if can sell torres and buy chicarito that would be awesome. But i doubt chicarito will want a rotated striker role.

So we sell off Mata and Lukaku but we keep Torres. I wonder at times what they are smoking over there.

if any club wants him, and torres himself wants to move, i thinks there will be no problem.
but the problems are no club wants him and he dont wants to move. lol...

but with additional 28m pound and maybe a sale of ramires, pogba much? lol....

Good luck to Lukaku. So much talent but we decided not to keep him. But no complaints, just one of him won't matter that much, just like Mata.

I pray to the gods we dont mess this up with Thibaut. He is a class goalkeeper. Its rare you find that these days.

Cash in when we can. Im surprise Everton willing to fork out money.

Imho, i see what Mou want to do with Torres in preseason. Let him play full 90. If he performs well, 2 good things will happen. Keep him, still useful or attract potential buyer.

His movement and through pass yesterday not bad at all. Its like i am seeing AM instead of CF/SS. More tracking and through ball.

2nd half, I see more exchanges role Torres/Costa. Centre Left Centre Left.

Yesterday, Baker and Boga enters too late. No impact at all. Matic has superb performance. MvG miles away. Maybe still need use Mikel for one more season.

I must be the only one who thinks Lukaku is worth more than 28 million pounds. I *hope* we have a plan in place for a replacement. Prior to this, I was excited at the propect of having Costa, Lukaku and Drogba as our strikers for this season. All good things come to an end.

in lukaku we not just lost a prospect of a world class player but also a future homegrown..
only if he have a world class attitute to fight for his place..

marin is in must sell list..
he didnt even included in the pre-season..
for moses if he dont leave atleast he count as homegrown..
& where is islam feroz?

Maybe he will worth more in the future. He is still young. But I guess Mou cannot wait for that. He just want impactful striker. I am surprise how well Costa settling in with the team. I guess he made his own space/oppurtunity.

Lukaku from his recent performance in the WC. Quite a slow starter. (Ok one may argue why we keep Torres, mostly as mentioned countless time above, nobody want to meet his wage demand). I am not surprise to see Schurrle given more game time in the coming season as out and out SS or R/LFW.

And yeah, i still want to see more from Bamford in preseason before hes loaned out, well most likely.

Fyi we lack of young striker.that is why we (i for sure) need lukaku.oh well,somehow i cant blame him even i mad about it because if u are in his shoe,u know that he will get less play time.i hope torres wont spoil our season.

Next season if drogba becomr coach,who will be 3rd striker?i hope bamford but a young player will always wanna have more game time instead of sitting on the banch.

"Romelu was always very clear with us with his mentality and his approach was not highly motivated to come to a competitive situation with Chelsea. He wanted to play for Chelsea but he clearly wanted to be first-choice striker, but for a club of our dimension it is very difficult to promise to a player."

"That reduced, immediately, his desire to come to us. After thatEverton came with an important offer and as I always say, because it's the reality of our club and we want to be inside the Financial Fair Play rules, it's always in the thoughts of the board. The important thing is that he's happy and things work well for him, he's a good kid and has his way of thinking and organising his career."

http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/201...aku-shots-fired

*note it is not mou that impatient but lukaku is the one who unwilling to compete.
We might be looking for another striker or we could be using our youth. Like the solanke and bamford. I'm not sure about bamford as I heard he is heading towards loans.

Solanke?
16years training with first teams and sub him in when ever it possible may help him mature faster.

Mind u costa had 5 loans before becoming la liga winner.

FIVE

Haha costa no tag as the next drogba but lukaku got..

If he willing to,i dont mind.if anyone young willing to learn and patient, i dont mind at all.but u know,youngster nowadays are very impatient

TBH Lukaku ambition of playing in the Champions League won't come true with Everton, Everton do have a great team now but I can't see them finish in the top 4 in the near future....Europa League spot is the best they can hope for...

I have yet to see an impatient youngsters.
beside solanke is true blue and 16 years old as well.
I doubt he will demand these and that for now.

All the best Lukaku.

This is a good read.

PLOWL

Jose Mourinho: "Lukaku wanted to play for Chelsea but clearly only as the first choice striker and at a club of our dimension it’s very difficult to promise a player that status" twitter.

Chelsea have alot of young promising striker before, but with Chelsea ambitions, they need to be alot better that they have been and alot more patience to penetrate into the team.

Maybe he can prove himself more and Chelsea will take him back. As for Lukaku better than Torres, at this point is just confidence but in terms of experience sure Torres is better.

From yesterday match looks like Costa is the correct type of striker that Mou needs with the same game play he have.

Im glad to see Costa got his goal last game. So this game he can show different side of his game, teamwork/unselfish play. Setting up MoSalah and Matic.

His pace and power remind me of Drogba really, and his intelligent movement. Future is Bright for PL Title.

Whats even more amazing is that we've still got Eden, Thibaut, Oscar, Willian and Ramires who are yet to feature. The future is bright indeed.

Now that u mention it. ^^^ Next interesting battle is Cech v Curtouis. hmmm This sunday. I want to see Curtouis starting/half time sub. If hes working hard in training.

Wtf..just kno solanke is only 16-18

Hahah. Whtever it is pls dont loan him out for the next 2 seasons. He needs to try and learn the curve over here

#KTBFFH

It's time to change the 1st post showing Lukaku is still in our squad~

JM say 16-18 won't loan out. He only loan those who can get first team in other clubs. That's why solanke, Christensen etc will play for u21 while training with first team.

say bye to Lukaku and Bertrand. Lukaku's case, i kinda expected it. Now we have Costa, Torres and Drog. Still ok, we have enuff cover.

But Bertrand?

LB - Luis / Ake
CB - JT / Cahill / Zouma / Christensen
RB - Azpi / Iva

So we're putting our faith on Ake and Christensen? I thot Bertrand will be a decent back up for Luis.

I actually quite impressed with ake.
not bad but he still need more experience.
well playing him as sub or at cup will help him.

Iva and Azpi versatile, especially Azpi. Temporary cover.

Like yinchet mentioned, with Ake, if hes matured. Dont do rash things and loose possession. should be OK.

LB tho, Felipe very industrious and calm. Able to hold player and awareness is superb, bombing forward also gooding. I think Ake win him only in Pace but he is still young, can learn from Felipe.

Ake trained with first team since january..iinm he is backup behind cole ofcoz...but azpi doesnt get injured and his performance always gooding last season

Cantik

16-18 i think quite hard to get loan spells at championship level oso. Maybe at league 1 yes.

Let him develop and give him some cup minutes

LB - Luis / Ake
CB - JT / Cahill / Zouma / Christensen
RB - Azpi / Iva

If we take out the youngsters Ake and Christensen, we only have 6 players fighting for 4 positions. During the climax of the season, just afraid we will be short handed with suspensions and injury. Rmb the game against Pool? With PSG coming next, we have to play Iva and Kalas as CB.

I hope Christensen and Ake is ready to step in to play some crucial game. I think Carling Cup and FA Cup Ake and Christensen will surely get their chances.

tbh, Ake reminds me of Luiz. Can play both in defense and pivot, gud pace, can attack and defend well. Hope he'll turn out to be a younger Luiz playing in the pivot in the future.

I'm quite happy with the current backline having to put some faith on the youth is something I always wish for.
Besides adding one more defender would not do us good I doubt on his chances to get some playtime.
using our youth as backup would be good though risky but we able to develop our youth and they might get their chances to play.

with the current situation, I do think we're gonna dip into transfer business again despite mou told the press few weeks ago that we're done.

For our gk and defense line, we have 2 players for each position dy. Good to go. Striker department, Costa, Torres, Drogba, good to go too. Trident - Hazard, Salah, Oscar, Schurrle, Willian, all good to go too.

for pivot - Romeu, Matic, MVG, Ramires, Mikel. Mou even played Fab in pivot in recent games. overcrowded?

We still nid to sell 1 international player. Mikel or Ram to go? Or loan out Romeu?

I think everyone want to see deadline swoop on Pogba

Hold out till January if theres injury to our backline.

Ram + Mikel + Mutu's debt = for Pogba.

if one of mikel or ramires getting sell, yes. current situation seem ok. schurrle can cover striker position.

We need to sell/loan at least two international player.

sos

best case scenario formula

yea. And let's not forget Pogba is considered as home grown thanks to Utd. Still got room to sign 1 more international player.

Nope the current main have squad 19 international
so ram and mikel gone u still need sell one more player to open one more spot.

This post has been edited by yinchet: Jul 31 2014, 05:18 PM

yea, juz checked.

At the moment, Chelsea have 17 players that would seem like safe bets for the 17 international squad spots. Those players include: Petr Cech, Branislav Ivanovic, Filipe Luis, Ramires, Fernando Torres, Eden Hazard, Oscar, John Obi Mikel, Andre Schurrle, Mohamed Salah, Marco van Ginkel, Diego Costa, Nemanja Matic, Willian, Mark Schwarzer, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Didier Drogba

If add Romeu and Courtois, then 19 dy.

Hope by September FA sudd consider Courtois as homegrown. Then we'll have 18 internationals, sell 1 enuff dy.

Or Mou can drop Schwarzer and call Blackman into the squad. That would reduce 1 international spot and increase 1 u-21 player.

This post has been edited by briantwj: Jul 31 2014, 05:30 PM

I dun think Courtois will be considered as hg.
I have find it weird for ucl considered zouma and lukaku as non-hg while fa consider them as u21.

This post has been edited by yinchet: Jul 31 2014, 05:56 PM

UEFA defines locally-trained or 'homegrown' players as those who, regardless of their nationality, have been trained by their club or by another club in the same national association for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21. Up to half of the locally-trained players must be from the club itself, with the others being either from the club itself or from other clubs in the same association.

i guess that Lukaku still have one year to complete in England before he gets hg status and for zouma, he just come to england.

A home-grown player will be defined as one who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the Season during which he turns 21).

Courtois case a bit special. He is owned by us (Chelsea), but loaned to La Liga's Atletico for 3 straight season. Duno considered as home grown anot.

For UCL, I'm not sure how they work. lel

always an *ss when managing chelsea in fm cuz of these quota. :3

Off topic, so u get JM sacked?

Anyway, earlier some1 mention chicarito. Yes in FM JM signs him lol

Back to topic, big club too much competition also not good. I hope ppl can have RM player attitude. They they have all star squad. Slowly wait for chances and eat paycheck. Before they signs in, they ought to know this already.

Lukaku hinting at Liverpool pls let me train there.

Chelsea weighing up move for PSG's Cavani?

Cavani to Chelsea? What weed are they smoking. lel.

I think any future signing must be home grown player. *cough...Pog...*cough...Ba. lel
