Transfer Rumours HHow is Lukaku worth A(had to be done)£75million

I was on about Chelsea

 

No one is saying you are a selling club, but neither do Real Madrid have to sell. So the fact they have an interest in both of those players, makes it a lot harder for you to bargain with them. Courtois and Hazard may be 'happy' at Chelsea, but it's hard to say no to Real Madrid.

The biggest stumbling block for us in getting Morata was the fact we wouldn't do a deal with them to sell De Gea. They wanted silly money for Morata, or we include De Gea in the deal. I think Chelsea will be on the receiving end of some similar tactics from Madrid. They'll probably ask for Hazard in a swap, which I think would suit both clubs, as I think you need Morata more than Hazard, and they need Hazard more than they do Morata. This is me assuming that Costa is going though.

 

We'll see. Costa is definitely off btw.

 

Well that makes you desperate in my eyes for a quality striker, and there aren't many about. Morata would definitely be my choice of the players that could be available, as he's proven he can score consistantly for Juve and Real. Other options like Belotti would be a major risk if you ask me, especially for the price they want for him.

Clubs knowing your desperate for a striker, doesn't put you in a great position though, so whoever you get in your gonna have to pay a big price.

 

We're not desperate for a striker though! We have bloody loads!

 

Not really bothered what it looks like in your eyes and we're not asking you, so that's a relief.

 

None that are top class though. Assuming Costa is going.

 

As I said, he's going.

 

Real are just a load of scumbags who want to fleece English clubs.

Look at the James Rodriguez deal with Bayern. Apparently the Spanish club has been sticking to their £70m price when dealing with Chelsea and United. No one was willing to pay that. Yet they then allow the player to go the Germans on a loan which will only give them £41m (after 2 years). Not sure about the exact terms but it looks more advantageous to Bayern than to Real.

One price for the English and another for everyone else.

 

I really cant work out that James deal. Seems very odd on Madrid's part. Guess it depends how long left on his contract but 41m after 2 years is a lot less than they'd sell him for now.

 

Chelsea play one striker 90% of the time. One of those currently vying for that spot is Michy Batshuayi. Maybe both didn't want to be in opposition at the same club and it is easy for Lulu to help out a mate when other clubs are matching your demands. I know I would.
